    Serena Williams

    People that are stuck on the coaching violation are missing the big picture. I guess Serena is trying to keep it at the forefront of the discussion, because she can easily deflect blame and use the "but everyone else is doing it" argument (that's what she's really teaching her daughter). No -...

    Serena Williams

    Let's all take a trip to Miami when they met for the first time. Osaka was going to beat Serena with or without the USTA point penalty system. Ramos (a legendary chair umpire) stole nothing from Serena.

    Adidas Barricade 2017

    Not sure when they're hitting retail, but I just ordered some a few days ago. Usually I see them in stock about 2 weeks before they hit the stores.

    Venus for RG 2017

    Not gonna lie...she looked her age, then some, attempting to run down those drop shots.

    IG Prestige MP

    This is the second thread that I've come across recently where the Angell TC97 has been mentioned. I'm a longtime Prestige user. Every now and then I'll try a Blade or something, but I always come back to IG. I'm going to have to pick up an Angell this summer. Way too curious at this point.

    Adidas Barricade 2017

    Barricade Boost: Core Black/Equipment Yellow Scarlet/Night Metallic/Dark Burgundy White/Silver Metallic/Core Black Barricade: Equipment Yellow/White/Grey Dark Burgundy/Scarlet Bolded color is the main color. Those will start to drop next month.

    Y-3 is not involved in the Roland Garros gear this time around. I can't handle any more animal prints.

    Barricade Strategy Pack 2016

    There's a "Street Art" men's Ubersonic for next month that's grey/steel, and a "Jade" women's Ubersonic that's green/white/grey for summer. But no other Barricades so far besides the Minimalist.

    Blacked Out Adidas Ubersonic 2.0 - Clay

    Catalogue color is "Core Green." British Racing Green is pretty spot on.

    Adidas Tennis Energy Boost

    That was my impression exactly.

    Adidas Barricade 2017

    adidas has two Tennis Energy Boost colors this spring: White/Blue and then a Black/Red for March. Interestingly enough, there isn't a TEB for Fall/Winter. I don't have any numbers to back this up, but I don't think they are selling that well. Price point is kinda high for a shoe none of the pros...

    Blacked Out Adidas Ubersonic 2.0 - Clay

    Spring/Summer release colors are the all White and Orange right now, the all Black later this month, and Green (FO) in April. There's also the Street Art limited edition in April that is Black/Teal?/Urban Camo? on the heel.

    Adidas Barricade 2017

    So I tried on the size 10 B17, and I'll stick with my 10.5. The only shoes I've gone down half a size for are adidas' running shoes. If you take a look at racket king's top view of the Mystery Blue B17 near the top of this page, my big toe hits right where the knit upper ends on the 10.5 and...

    Adidas Barricade 2017

    I wear a 10.5 with all of the Barricades I have played in. I trust TW when they recommend going up or down 1/2 a size, which they don't with this shoe. They just say slightly long. I put both shoes back on now that I've broken in the B17 a bit, and I agree that my big toe placement is a tad...

    Adidas Barricade 2017

    I love the B7. I'd wear the Novak Pro's (which are the Barricade 7) if Novak's goofy mug wasn't taking up the entire tongue. I don't have anything against Djokovic, but adidas needs to do more special editions with graphics on the tongue. I don't think the outside plastic piece changes the arch...

    Adidas Barricade 2017

    If you want the Boost, you can try the Tennis Energy Boost. Personally, I didn't like the fit and found the Barricade Boost to be more comfortable. I also like the looks of the Barricade better than the TEB, but to each their own. Based purely on aesthetics, I'd wear Vapors all day long. If you...

    Adidas Barricade 2017

    I lace all my tennis shoes the same. I think adidas laced them up with a Girl's 5 1/2. Definitely gonna have to go buy new laces. I did a cardio workout for 30 minutes and walked around in them most of the afternoon. No discomfort. Ever since I saw a video of Nadal being handed new shoes and...

    Adidas Barricade 2017

    They feel great. Surprising cushion under the forefoot (for a Barricade). Length is spot on to the Boosts I have on in the pic. Roomy toe box. Tongue is thinner (which I don't like), but there's no pinching for me. It's not paper thin like the old adizeros. Laces are significantly shorter. I can...

    Barricade Strategy Pack 2016

    Seriously. The "Pop Art" Barricades in February look like the splatter paint Gel Resolution shoes.

    Barricade Strategy Pack 2016

    For 2017. adidas is doing an "Art Pack." You'll see some pretty colorful stuff.

    Barricade boost vs. regular... Have you tried both?

    Yeah, I would agree with niktub. Softer and more relaxed, but the trade off is going to be durability. These won't hold up to hardcore match play or workouts like their stronger brother.

    Barricade boost vs. regular... Have you tried both?

    I have both and the Bounce. Boost in the heel of the Barricade is a blessing. I won't go back to the normal Barricade, except they have some sick colors for next year.

    adidas adizero Defiant Bounce

    Well, I was hoping for a Boost version of the ubersonic 2 for 2017, but looks like we're gonna get a stripped down version instead. I have a pair of the Barricade Bounce, and I like them for walking around the courts or light feeding. They are lighter and have a bit more "bounce" in the heel...

    The Official Gael Monfils Appreciation Thread

    I remember watching this match on tv. At some point later in the match, his Asics give up and the heel comes off after a slide.

    The Official Gael Monfils Appreciation Thread

    I love watching Monfils. His anticipation, speed, improvisation and power always make for entertaining matches. His 2011 US Open match against Dimitrov had some absolutely ridiculous points in it. Hope he can sneak in there and take a GS. I mean, if Cilic can do it... I had the pleasure of...

    Barricade Strategy Pack 2016

    Yeah, those are the normal Fall/Winter color schemes. I was talking about the limited edition ones. OK...so they've kept the G Dub and Sun Tzu designs but pit it on the Ubersonic and not the Ubersonic 2. So two of the Strategy Pack are Barricades and the other 2 are Ubersonics. Also kept the...

    Verdasco Adidas Hoodie?

    Dang...that's sweet. I haven't seen anything like that in the catalogs for the year. Might be Europe only.
