    My Playmate machine has been going strong for many years, but it was great of you to post this detailed fix.

    Why usually making one version of midsize rackets?! And why not a light racket Boron composite?!

    Head made (or makes) the Prestige Rev Pro, which is their 93 in2 in a lightweight format. I still like to hit with in sometimes and like it for what it is. Everybody on here dissed on it, it's always sold at a discount, and everyone that reviews it wants to add weight. I don't think there's much...

    Ping Pong or Pool table

    I lived in 3 homes where we set up pool tables and they were great social activity. I was quite good and sometimes the games were competitive. About a month ago, we just set up a ping pong table in our house (no pool table) and we all are playing often. We are all pretty good tennis players and...

    Common first world problems

    Making tough decisions. Do I need to update my all black 2016 RF97 for the the 2018 model with the white band? I think by poly went dead at 4 hours and I'm spraying balls everywhere... Seems I put 2gms of lead at 3 and 9 and I think it would be better a 10 and 2, or maybe 3gms ... I can't decide...

    Rogers Cup used to be on clay?

    I'm not sure if you're in Canada, and if so, where, but in Quebec there is an increasing number sites in many municipalities that have newer and really well maintained clay courts. All the junior championships for U10, U12 and U14 are played on clay here. At the national tennis center in...

    Arm-friendly racket with enough power?

    My picks for you would be: Pure strike 16x19 ezone 100 Prince beast (I've only played the older warrior 100) They offer quite a bit more power than your current stick, decent control and good comfort. I was hesitating to put the ezone on top, but the PS seems to provide more power on serves.

    Corny Keg tennis ball pressurizer

    I put my 1st load of balls in my 2 kegs (25-lbs pressure) and we'll see what happens. I ended up ordering 2 new Torpedo ball lock kegs, as they are easier to find in Canada, and don't cost much more that used Corny kegs. They fit 60 balls each.

    Corny Keg tennis ball pressurizer

    Thanks for the video. Since I have only 2 kegs, I will charge 50x2 at a time and alternate when they lose pressure. I was reading the other thread and see that some have posters problems with regular Penn balls; of course I have mostly Costco Penn balls so I'll have to see how that works out...

    Corny Keg tennis ball pressurizer

    I'll see when I try out my kegs next week how tedious I find storing the balls under pressure. I appreciate the input and am looking forward to have 150 pressurized balls.

    Corny Keg tennis ball pressurizer

    After 5 years of following the 2 Corny Key threads, I finally orders 2 kegs and materials. Kegs will arrive at the end of the week. There are 3 tennis players in the family, a ball machine that gets used once or twice a week, and my son is practicing 1-2 baskets of serves on most days. I have...

    TT 100p too powerful, TT95?

    I Agree that you should be fine with the TT100P. I won't be too powerful with a hybrid string setup, or a softer poly, that you are looking for. I would not recommend the TT95 unless you are at 4.5 and up, and under 40. The 100P offers plenty of control, and and easier game.

    Steam 99s vs pure strike 2017

    I've owned and played with 99s, PS2017, TT100p, and TT100 Warrior. I would rank them as follows: PS2017 - best combination of power, stability, control and stiffness for stock weight - no discomfort for me with a soft poly at #50 - my current racquet of choice; TT100P - best feel of the bunch...

    I s anyone still using the old Yonex orange RDS 002 tour?

    I haven't seen one in ages. But I played it for a few months with good results. Great plow through. It was a tad stiff.

    do these stiffer 98" players racquets cause arm pain for you?

    I stay away from the really stiff ones (over 70RA); I played with for a while was a Dunlop 500 and developed a case of tennis elbow after 10 days of so. I also could not handle the Extreme. However I was fine with around 66RA racquets: Blades, Yonex ezone 100 and I now play with a Pure Strike...

    Can Rackets be broken by the person stringing it?

    This is exactly how a racquet would break if it had slipped out of the mounting clamps on the stringing machine while the mains were being strung. The tension from the mains would collapse the frame vertically and cause this type of fracture. The risk increases if it happens after many mains...

    Prince Textreme 100T the brilliance of Captain Orange

    When I did this, I had 6 inch strips a little higher that center on 3 and 9 - nothing at 12. I also added a little in the throat to get as close as possible to the weight, balance and SW of the 100P. Though I liked the setup, and it was rock solid, I missed the slightly stiffer DR100...

    SW Doesn't get a seeding at FO, is that a bad thing?

    I don't disagree with your comment, but how do you pass a rule that any player, named Serena Williams, is allowed a wild card into a slam.

    SW Doesn't get a seeding at FO, is that a bad thing?

    I'm a strong believer that fans are paying big dollars to buy tickets and this is what should drive the decision making. I do believe that players should not be penalized for maternity, but paying customers should not have to buy tickets for players coming back from maternity with protected top...

    Elbow pain from misshits?

    I previously got TE from a single match. I was playing on dry clay and the balls were bouncing higher than usual and my timing was a bit off. I'm glad to see it's almost gone.

    SUV's and electric cars!

    Let's more forward 50-100 years or so. We don't have oil any more for cars. When should we start planning for this massive change? Why do people focus on climate change and not discuss air quality? Don't people want to breath the best air possible? Fortunately I live where there is abundant...

    Prince ESP 98 Natural gut broken string after three hours

    ESP racquets needs thicker poly strings - anything else will break in a few hours. There were many posts on this topic when Wilson and Prince 1st launched their spin effect racquets. You will waste your dollars on Tough Gut if you are hitting hard enough to generate the spin these racquets...

    How to add 10-15 gr and keep balance about the same?

    If you want to keep the balance, you have to add 1/2 at the head of the racquet and half in/around the handle. 4 inches of lead tape is about 1gm. There is no right of wrong place to add lead in the head - itsa whatever works for you. Though I've done many different mods, my goto is replacing...

    Prince Textreme Tour 100P (310g, 18x20)

    I'm wondering if both your wrist problems could be the full poly and the 18x20 pattern. I just put aside my DR100s for the TT100P and find it SUPER comfortable. But I have nat. gut/Cream hybrid the one I've been using. My 2nd has full Hyper G 18ga @50, but I didn't have a chance to try it...

    Prince Textreme Tour 100P (310g, 18x20)

    Strangely enough, I was trying to convince myself to buy another racquet last night.... reading threads on the Pure Strike 16x19, maybe a V Core Pro 97, and found a lot of mixed opinions. It seems only Angell has universal love, so I have to assume these guys belong to a sect. Then I read...

    Pure Drive for a 14-year old?

    I string for quite a few teenagers in competitive tennis and I've also had a lot of success with this setup, but with Hexalon mains 17a and Gosen 16 syn gut. A few are using full poly (Hyper G 18) but I propose they restring if not broken after 10-12 hours.
