    Novak Djokovic: US Open champion wants to earn support

    How so? Roddick basically called out Novak that his injuries were BS. Novak proved him right when he played that match with no "injuries" at all. Kind of weird how they just vanished like that.

    Novak Djokovic: US Open champion wants to earn support

    People don't like him. He just needs to learn to accept it. Maybe over time people will change how they feel, but as for now there is no use for him to really comment on it because he comes across as a bit whiny. I personally don't care for the guy. To me he doesn't come off very genuine in...

    Head Microgel OS causing elbow pain?

    I only strung the OS down to 48 because I was having the elbow issues and I wanted to compare the comfort level to the racket I had been using the most previously, which was strung at 48. Like I said, I string myself so if I don't like it I just cut it out and try something else. Honestly...

    Head Microgel OS causing elbow pain?

    I strung both myself so I am sure that they were both at the same tension. I have hit with several different frames and many different strings. Never had a problem with elbow pain before except when poly is strung too tight (on any frame), and for some reason the MG Radical OS. I typically...

    Head Microgel OS causing elbow pain?

    Well I just wanted to follow up and say that I ended up putting about 7 grams of lead tape at 6. I was afraid that adding at 3 and 9 might add too much to the swing weight so I opted not to do that. I could tell a difference in stability right away and the elbow pain I was feeling before is now...

    Head Microgel OS causing elbow pain?

    Yes, it is the MG Radical OS. Weighs about 11.4 oz. with overgrip an dampener on it. 3pts head light. The Ignite is .1 oz lighter and is 1 pt head light. Maybe I'll add some lead tape at 3 and 9 to make it less head light and a little more stable.

    Head Microgel OS causing elbow pain?

    I bought a Head MG OS at the end of last year and played with it for about 5 months. My previous racquet was the Prince Ignite 95 Team. Never had elbow problems with the Ignite but wanted to switch to the MG OS because of the extra size (107) and it was cheap. I played well with it and liked it...

    A controversial question about line calls

    I didn't read the whole thread so I'm not sure if someone answered this already but obviously a ball that is 95% out is also 5% in, which means the ball should be ruled in.

    Need help with Tennis Tutor Replacement Part

    So you leave the charger unplugged from the machine except for re-charging approximately once a week? I will try your method for this winter and hopefully will get better results. What I had been doing was just leaving the charger plugged into the machine through the winter except for once a...

    Need help with Tennis Tutor Replacement Part

    Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you, however I do have a question. What kind of life do you get from your batteries? I mean actual life of the battery itself, and not running time. I ask because I have had one of these machines for 3 years now and I have had to replace the battery every...

    Which Overgrip is your favorite?

    The Prince has a more tacky feel to it when freshly put on the racquet, otherwise thickness seems the same and after I get a sweat going the tackiness tones down a bit and it feels more like the Wilson Pro.

    Which Overgrip is your favorite?

    Wilson Pro is my favorite but recently when I went to pick some up I noticed that the price of a 30 pack went from $30 to $37 so I picked up a 3 pack of Prince DuraTac to try. I found the Prince overgrips to be extremely similar to Wilson Pro except that the Prince were considerably more tacky...

    Are replacement grommets the same for the Prince Ignite and the Ignite Team?

    Thanks for the replies everyone!

    Are replacement grommets the same for the Prince Ignite and the Ignite Team?

    The reason that I ask is because I bought an Ignite Team over a year ago with a set of grommets to change the ports over to traditional grommets. I was recently thinking maybe I should buy extra sets of the grommets while I can still get them since the Ignite Team has been discontinued. However...

    low power, good feel, non poly?

    I agree with the poster above, give Head Rip Control 17 a try.

    Why no love for Prince Ignite Team?

    I agree with you, there isn't much Prince love on these boards. Seems as though ever since Prince introduced their O-port "technology", a lot of traditionalists have perhaps snubbed their noses at Prince. Not sure if that's it or not, but that is my take. I bought a Prince Ignite Team about a...

    PJ's on Pro Rackets equals criminal fraud, no?

    Yeah, like if you would have read my post, you would have seen that it was in response to someone else who asked how the authorities would be able to distinguish whether pros were using the same base model that consumers buy in stores. I would hope the authorities would have better evidence than...

    PJ's on Pro Rackets equals criminal fraud, no?

    Usually it is pretty obvious. Often the number of mains or crosses will be different. It is also pretty hard to fake things like Head's flexpoint holes. There is absolutely no reason to paint fake holes on a racquet other than to deceive people. I don't consider holes to be part of a paintjob.

    PJ's on Pro Rackets equals criminal fraud, no?

    Sorry, but I've been to Chevy car lots before and never seen an Impala that even remotely looks like the car Dale drives so I'm not sure what point you are trying to make.

    A Tennis Rule?

    There is no possible shot that your opponent could hit that would call for that. No matter how good you think their shot is. Trust me. I'm also pretty sure it is against the rules to cross the net over to your opponents side at any time. (Except during a changeover obviously)

    Leading the Handle

    Just like AJK1 said, put the lead tape under your grip on the upper half of the grip. I added .6 oz to one of my racquets this way and you can not tell at all that there is lead under there by looking at the grip, and it is above where I grip with my hand so it doesn't effect grip size at all.

    Spinny strings with good tension retain

    This isn't a poly, but try Head Rip Control 17. Great spin and some nice pop as well.

    Gamma X-2 experiences..

    Yeah, I lost a chunk of skin myself from an X-2 clamp when I first started. I quickly learned that I needed to file down all the rough and sharp edges on the clamp handles. I didn't think about using tape on the handles which sounds like a good idea.

    Same thing here. I use O3 Tour MS frames and don't have problems.

    Mary Ann Carillo should be fired

    I especially loved when Carillo called the dancing fans "knuckleheads". Did she forget that there were quite a lot of those "knuckleheads" wearing earpieces and listening to her comments?

    Wilson Ncode Nvision

    I played with one for about a year. It was a decent racquet except for the weight. Once I started playing people who had a good amount of pace on their groundstrokes and especially their serves, I found that the racquet was simply too lite in weight. Balls hit to me with heavy pace felt like...

    Djokovic only succeeded in proving Andy and the Press were correct

    I am.. er... excuse me... WE are hereby giving you a gold medal for posting some of the most incomprehensible gibberish ever posted on internet forums. The example above is just one sample of many posts you have written that I have struggled trying to decipher. Congrats!

    Fan calling out during Nadal's service motion

    Are you implying that fans are fined for this? I thought they just got kicked out.
