Quoted for great justice.

Spin Cycle is magic in the Juices.

Are you sure you want to confine it to the Pro Discussion forum? :) I'm with ya, man.

That's exactly what I plan to do--tip weight it with 2-3 grams to beef up the SW a bit.

I also own an Aero Storm GT. Compared to the APDGT, the Aero Storm is less powerful and less spinny with more control and more comfort. It's heavier but not as polarized so they feel the same when I swing them. Given your demos thusfar, you would probably find it too heavy. I also just...

MSV Co-Focus (aka the best poly cross ever) comes in bright yellow, although TW doesn't carry it.

I'm close to calling up TW and asking for the lightest 95D they have...once I spend some time with my used 100S coming next week. :)

I am also 6'6", so I know where you're coming from. IMO the next step up in power from the X10 would be the X9 (in the Volkl family anyway). It's just as whippy and comfortable. I didn't care for the Steam. It was light enough that it felt unstable and too easy to get "wristy" with, kinda...

So we're back to discussing the PD2012, right? OK. I have a PD12+ coming next week. Long-time APDGT+ user, former PDGT+ user. Demoed the 2012+ a few weeks back but wanted to tame it with tighter strings. Now I'll get my chance, and if I don't like it, it'll become a trade-in.

Or try adding a few grams of lead at 12 o'clock.

The difference is marginal and only becomes apparent after a few weeks in the hopper. They retained their durable felt, which still does not fluff, and their solid, "heavy" feel.

It's strange indeed. It was fine for every joint other than my shoulder. Maybe it's a static weight/stiffness combo thing. The other heavier racquets I've hit with have been more flexible. I was sad to see them go, because playing with them was so sublime. Good luck with all your Juicy...

1xx is predominantly white. The other numbers would denote accent colors like red/gray/blue. What were these items?

649 Varsity Red 704 Varsity Maize

Pro Penn Marathons. They don't keep their bounce quite as long as last year's Pro Penns, but their felt durability and solid feel remain. I can usually get two matches out of a can.

Let us know where you wind up so that I can be sure to never, ever vacation there.

Watch out for excessive wear when fanning crosses that cross the outer mains very quickly after leaving the frame (2nd, 3rd, last, etc.). Even when you fan the cross, it's still only moving along the first main that it crosses about 1 mm. Best to pull the entire length of the string through...

~20 demos later, this is why I have 6 APDGT+s and counting.

A lot of Princes, most Beckers/Volkls, most Yonexes, and all Pro Kennexes are easy on the arm.

Sad Day for the Juices The past couple of days have been sad on the Thor Hammer (Juice Pro) front. I restrung them again with 18g poly at 50 lbs and did about 30 minutes of drills (all stuff I usually do). The very next day, my RC tendinitis was back. It felt worse than it has in a month...

Ah, what a blast from the past! The Spalding Rebel Pro was my very first new racquet, proudly purchased from Target in 1989 for around $30. Solid aluminum IIRC.

Usually a 15. My B7s are size 16.

I've had it snag an expensive tennis shirt. Grrr! Cut short!

Interesting, since the PD2012 is both stiffer and lighter than the APDGT. I found the PD2012 to still be more powerful and slightly less spinny than the APDGT line. The APD still has the edge from the baseline for me because of the spin production and slightly better control, but the PD wins...

OP, no offense, but a 2.0 should not string with anything but an inexpensive synthetic gut. Polys, multis, and hybrids will not do anything for your game, nor will anything more than about $6 per set. Your shop knows this, too, and just wants to sell you some expensive string.

New color -> excitement -> adrenaline -> energetic play.

I don't know about most of you, but there have to be some TW posters out there who browse the classifieds regularly, looking to scoop up a second frame or an "extended demo." I am one of them. Lately, there have been some really frustratingly stupid trends emerging over in that section, and I...

Take the W and get ready for the next match.

All other bizzaro opponents got nothin' on this guy. I would love to see him play.

Any flavor G2.
