    Should you cut strings when flying?

    Yea, my strings lost a lot of tension after coming of the plane. I brought them into the cabin with me, it was a 14hr flight though so pretty long time spent up there!

    Kevlar at low tension = magic!

    Interesting thread. I use crossfire 18 in my Lm radicalmps at 57-55lbs. Any higher and there is too much vibration. I've been stringing them like this for the past 3 or 4 years now. I never thought of going as low as 50lbs. Is there really such a big difference? I really like the crisp feeling...

    ****Yonex RDX500 MP Review****

    I used the rdx500mp. 12g of lead on the inside of the throat works wonders. Loads more stable and no more problems with a weak serve. But with the rdx I had the tendency to hit too much spin. Really heavy ball but I can't crush sitters. I tried to change my strokes a wee bit for 1 year with it...

    inner throat of LM Radical MP

    Strange, I could generate a more spinny shot with the prestige. The longer dwell time really benefits my shots there. The radical was really more flickable and I really digged that as I'm playing a lot of doubles now and reaction time is a big thing. I can just snap off some sort of return a lot...

    inner throat of LM Radical MP

    Its the same. But I think that those on sale now are the newer batch of Lm rads. Somehow, I really prefer the feel of my 1st two from the older batch.

    Head MicroGel Prestige MP.

    Thanks Anton, yes yes I do agree with you on the harsh off centre hits with the older rackets. Grrr I got to get my hands on a demo. Anyway why did you choose the pro over the mp?

    Head MicroGel Prestige MP.

    Hey chris, have you tried the Lm radical mp, I.prestige mp, Lm prestige mp? How does the MgpMp compare to them. There have been so many rave reviews I'm tempted to get one. But I can't demo in the Uk.

    inner throat of LM Radical MP

    Oh its doesn't say anything about the weight, stiffness and length. Its normal don't worry.

    inner throat of LM Radical MP

    Other than the swing rating on 1 side, the other side should have the headsize etc. I've 2 from tw and 2 from the local store. All have the same markings even though those from tw are the new batch. You can tell this as they have a different butt cap.

    !!! 2008 RDS-001's Now Available on TW

    I quite liked that yonex 850 string. I had it in my rdx500mp but I revereted back to my Lm radical mp after a year of yonex.

    Switch to a lighter racket or stick with my current sticks?

    Hey nick, I had the same problem as you. I went from my Lm radical to a n90. It was very stable and I really liked it but its gave me a slight elbow pain and was not a flickable as the Lm radical. My game was moving more towards double so I switched back. What I didn't like was that my shots...

    Nickb's Poly Reviews

    I do agree with you on the redcode. I found it harsh and stiff too. Didn't really like it much and I cut it out as well.

    LF Suggestions for demos (replacing RDX 500 MP)

    You may want to try the Lm instinct. Its going cheap now.

    Old Head LM Radical MP users: What did you switch to?

    I went from the Lm rad to Rdx500mp then to n90 and now I'm back with the Lm rad. I bought 2 more so I've 4 now!! They are quite a bargain so I guess you could stock up on them? Don't fix whats broken and I learnt that the hard way.

    Andy Murray's '08 End-Of-Year Ranking Predictions

    Yes, I agree. He is still not consistent enough and abit erratic at times. I think he'll need to step it up to challenge Fed or Nadal. But great start to the year for him, lets just hope it was nerves. I predict 3 or 4 unless he gets injured again(fingers crossed).

    Does it matter if I cut/leave the string on a racquet that is going to storage?

    Cut out the strings. The tension loss during storage may be uneven and warp the frame.

    How do i tell LM Radical vs LM Radical Tour?

    Oh, I had no problems swinging it, just that its was kinda hard to find and a tad bit more expensive, the extra weight could be added using lead.So I went with the standard one. I'm feeling the standard Lm radical to be abit light though but I'm moving more towards doubles play and less singles...

    How do i tell LM Radical vs LM Radical Tour?

    Lm tour will say tour on the racket. It is just a weighted up Lm radical Mp. I've have had both. The headsize is identical at 98

    OH MY GOSH...HAS ANYONE SEEN THIS LADIES' DOUBLES ACCIDENT @ Wimbledon? Drama...

    Omg, how did she ever turn pro? Its a tennis ball for god's sake. She plays mostly doubles and it definately isn't the 1st time she would have gotten hit.

    Excluding Fed, who has the best shot at beating Nadal at the French Open?

    Wimbledon should speed up their surface back to the traditional level rather than slowing it down just to accommodate the baseline bashers in today's game.
