Hi, I'm in San Diego near Mesa College area for business. I'll be hear for another week. Does anyone know of a good place for pickup games or a wall to hit off of? I'm 4.0 player, friendly and love the game. HT

I don't know guys. Never had tennis elbow until this week. After reading these post about kevlar. I went ahead and strung up my PS with the 19g gamma tnt fusion at 69#. I played great, tremendous amount to control and touch. The only thing was it made my elbow sour as hell. I can barely...

I looked on ATS as you recommended, but the only have 16 or 17g Kelvar. I totally agree with you that this definitely reduces the power. I used to play with VS gut and sometimes hybrid with luxilon. But but it provided too much unwanted power and less durablity. First time using it the other...

Thanks for all the advices. I going to out all the techniques and see which works the best. Especially the method of hold the ball like the letter "T", I going to the wall now and see if it really works. Thank you all!

OK, I finally realized that my toss is the main culprit for my serve inconsistency. When I go through the tossing motion, the ball's path is moving in a counter-clockwise motion. As a result I tend to chase the ball and the contact point is usually a bit twisted to the left and above my head...

Golf boring! Just swinging the ball, drive cart and get fat. Not my cup of teE!

BAD idea! I will just make it even more PoWerFuL

I tried gut hybrid with ALU lux, the feel is good, but it's still too powerful. I even strung it at 63# on my Laserfibre machine. What string will give me the feel and control of Natural gut. But with the lowest power possible? I was thinking of using the same hybrid, this time switch ALU...

VS last the longest for me, compare with BowBrand, Klip, and Pacific. I tried to alternate the two racquets to stretch it out to three wks. Maybe I have to go back to technifibre NGR. But I still have 5 sets of Gut left. So, is there a better combo then GUT/LUX?

In both racquets, the strings in the main broke at the center. I Semi western and sometime full western, long and loopy swings. I alternate grips depending on the shots. I perfer hitting winners from the baseline but come into the net when I get the short balls.

I recently obtained 2 St. Vincent PS 85s. I strung them both up with top of the line VS gut at 63#. But the strings are broken on both racquets within 3 weeks. Damn expensive. I love the feel of gut, but it has too much power even in my PS 85 and the racquet eats through the strings like...

Gaines and all string experts, I've tried the Gut/Lux hybrid and liked it. Now, I'm using all VS gut job, but I noticed after about 10 hours for play the strings are losing tension and there's too much power. I play w/ St.Vincent PS 85 strung at 65#. I like the tension high because I...

What are the fastest time for a GUT job? For me, 55 min. 40 for multi strings.

I've tried almost every types of string, and everytime I'm disappointed when it's not Babolat VS gut. The consensus is right, not all guts are the same. Although some said that Wilson gut is an older brand of Babolat VS, but from my experience, they perform the same. Right now, I have...

If the PS 6.0 85 is so sweet, why would you want a taste of anything else that could be so bitter! Don't you know nothing is sweeter than the PS 85?

How do you install this? Help!

I've been playing with Dunlop's balls since I found that they last much longer than the reg. Penn balls. But I had a chance to tried some Penn Master Series, and boy does it last. The ball fly and bounce consistently much better than any others. The sorry part is I can't get TW to ship to...

How come I can see these matches? Is there a specific software I need? When I tried to download the FED vs. HEW match only 42.8 KB were there, enough for only the icon. Am I doing something wrong?

Yes, be very cautious when buying on **** from a seller with limited references. When a deal like that looks too good to be true, ITS NOT TRUE! I got scammed on **** for over $150 on a set of LUXILON string that were too good to be true!

I played with: Wilson Midsize graphite 95%/ceramic 5% Jack Kramer Staff Midsize graphite 80 %/fiberglass 20% Ultra 2 Midsize Graphite/Boron And PS Midsize Graphite/Kelvar All added different feel to the game. But the one that top them all was the PS Midsize Graphite/Kelvar.

Luxilon Big Banger ACE 18 gauge!

altawolfe, I have one for sale if you're interested.

Babolat VS 15L

Which bridge are you selling? It's OK. I like to think Pete Sampras unique as he is on the tennis court is a normal guy, who likes to share his thoughts once in a great while.

Only if you can get PETE SAMPRAS to converse with us for a nice chat! :wink:

Am I gullible? Or was that the REAL "PISTOL" PETE SAMPRAS, who just shared his comment on this board? :shock:

YeSSSS! I finally got my hands on one. I got one for less than I expected, $132. Can't wait for the shipment!

Thank you all for your feedbacks. I don't think I'll have problems wheeling the 13+oz. SV 85 around. I'm only 30 and I work out 3-4/ week with decent weights. But if it's true that it plays better than any of the PS out there. Then I need to get my hands on one.

I thinking of buying one on ****. They go for about $200. I own the China and Taiwan versions. The Taiwan version is definitely heavier and plays more solid. I also own a St.Vincent Jack Kramer Staff (same exact mold as PS85), but it's composed of 20% fiberglass and not 20% kevlar like the...
