2023 Gravity Team is on sale on TW, those specs should be good for your level currently and it’s a good modding platform as you figure out what you like. https://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Head_Gravity_Team_2023/descpageRCHEAD-HGTMPR.html…. Though the Radical S suggestion above would also be a...

Again, I can’t stress enough how that was just a funny observation. I am totally on board with loving the game but still having someone to root for and/ or against.

I don’t mean this in a trolly way, I too would like Sinner to win it, but I first read your post and then I saw your name… then I had to chuckle a bit.

This makes me happier than I am comfortable expressing.

Unicorn placenta for two

I have two of these that I have off-and-on loved for all of the reasons mentioned above. I just wish that the string pattern wasn’t quite so open. I prefer 18x20 rackets, but even a more closed 16x19 would make them perfect. Because all of my other rackets are 18x20 I only have thin shaped poly...

By the way... That's what she (and Shroud) said.

In the racket's "defense".... Nothing is stiff enough for @Shroud.

I definitely ordered two IIs... So that was not the reason for me. Crazy QC all the way.

Watching the video, I think I noticed something that might mean I do this wrong. When pulling tension on crosses I release the previous clamp before applying the "new" clamp. It looks like Irvin always leaves that previous clamp on until clamping again on the same side. I release only while...

Just got an email back from Pros Pro about the Pioneer... "The Pioneer is not the same racket as the Art of War II, it's a new model. But they are very similar. The only difference is the weight: Art of War II had 320 g, Pioneer has 285 g." Balance point is given as "310 +/- 7,5 mm". 31 cm...

Well, I love to tinker. If I was playing more competively I would feel otherwise, but I actually like the air of mystery in things once in a while. When do we get that anymore?.... Makes it exiting. Like I say, when they had the 3 for 54€ deal going I could and should have bought 9 (162€ for 9...

Here in Europe at least, they have a new Pros Pro racket called the Pioneer... It looks like the same mold as the Art of War 98... but with a drastically lower weight. No RA is listed, but they never really tell you that and I wouldn't believe it if they did. I might have to give it a try. If...

I have two of those. They are super flexy, I don't have a way to measure it but low 40's sounds very plausible. If you grip them at the throat and squeeze it flexes like you wouldn't believe. I feel like I could make the two sides meet if I did it hard enough. So first things first - The QC is...

Hey Shroud... Can you get the Topspin rackets over there?... The older CL 633 or now the Pure C1 models are 98 heads, thin beam (20 mm... I think) but somehow still have a 70 or so stiffness rating.... Oh, and they're 18x20. Not quite 75+ but with the 18x20 it's a really firm and controlled...

A few years ago (2012 maybe?) there was a TW Black Friday deal on the glossy version.... Got it for $75.... Should have grabbed 2 of them....

I like the BLX Blade Team (Blade 104) for doubles. I leaded up the handle and the head, it serves great and volleys are solid too. I like the combo of a flexy throat stiffer head, and this seems to have that. It's not a thin or box beam but is soft enough to feel a little classic-esque. For...

I See the Name Golden Team on the bay over here in Germany periodically... Just searched and there's one on there now. The model is Champion, looks like a Yonex-y headshape and boasts that it's "Designed in the U.S."

I just was looking at these and quite a few models have something called "Soft Feel Technology".... I looked it up... It's balsa wood. I am intrigued. There's a little video to describe the "tech" and it looks like a completely filled frame with layers of balsa and something else... foam maybe.

Flexy frames with dense patterns (PT 630, Rad Tour, Prince 100...) create big spin for me... and the most usable spin. I tried to love a leaded up Head IG 300 for a while but just couldn't. I understood what the open pattern gave me; Baseline and serves were sweet but I still felt like I had...

In my very uneducated opinion... I think it's just evolution and there's always periods of climb and plateau. I have liked seeing the crazy angles and long grueling points of the current "modern" poly-influenced game. And I also love it when guys like Zverev & yes, Fed find a way to bring some...

Found a Head Graphite Pro (EU black non-Power Wedge) at a local Recycling center... always wanted one. https://imgur.com/a/jcsve

Just out of curiosity.. Have you changed the strings since '99?

The DB90 feels very soft despite it's somewhat larger beam. Lotta fiberglass in the layup I think... which is a feel I really like.

There was a C7 pro and/or comp that was similar in spec but 18x20... I've had my eye out for one for a while now...

The few Yonex I've had needed lead anyway, so I wrapped it around the but cap to flare it instead of putting it in the handle. Actually works out great, since they don't have trapdoors... No need to deal with staples.

A few years back I had a season or two love affair with the Wilson K Pro Tour. I remember it being pretty universally panned at the time, though hindsight may have helped it's image some in the intervening years.

I have a probably stupid question... Did I mess up the pic posting? Why is mine just a link instead of an actual picture like everybody else?

Finally got around to "figuring out" how pics work on here... These are some of mine - I guess the ones I think are most interesting that I have here in Germany. Unfortunately my Bumblebee and at least 2 zebras and another candycane all currently reside in the states... http://imgur.com/a/OzQ9D

I am with macatack. Posts that start with / from a negative position are at their essence, idiotic. I am all for giving your opinion when asked... But if I started a new post to document everything that disappointed me, I'd never get anything else done. Total reverse über-Troll move.
