    Grip Redux on Babolat PD Roddick

    Kevo- I applied the leather grip and pulled as tight as I could and it is slightly larger but playable. I actually prefer leather grips (Prince Graphite), althought this will take some getting used to since I have been playing 3/8 factory grip with an overgrip. It still has a little more...

    Grip Redux on Babolat PD Roddick

    I have a PDR that I bought in 4.5. I didn't realize of large Babolat's grip sizes are. I have a AP Control but the 4.5 doesn't seem as large as the PDR. I have read that the most common way to adjust down is to remove the original grip and just use a few overgrips. My question is would a...

    Sizing of Adidas Feather

    Not so much smaller, just more narrow in the forefoot. Imagine going from a Timberland Boot to a house slipper and you have the difference in the two shoes.

    Best forehand of all time?

    I have to say Agassi. His forehand and the way he took the ball early, on the rise revolutionized the game and he strikes the ball cleaner than Federer or Sampras. Federer has god control on his forehand but that's about it. I see nothing spectacular with his stroke. His mechanics are...

    Suggest some shoes for 160 lbs male, fast/moves alot, sweats, not rich

    Go with the Adidas CC Feather II. Light, stable, breathable and good lateral movement. I find the soles of the Barricades to be too "sticky". The CC Feather's use a lighter rubber. I'm 5"10, 165 and the shoes are great on my feet. They don't look it, but they are surprisingly supportive...

    PD roddick vs O3 hybrid tour

    PDR is powerful but you have to swing through the ball. Great on serves. The more I play it the lihter it feels. Volleys aren't as crisp but I'm learning the racquet. Been hitting with a LM Prestige MP that is about .7oz lighter. I like but the PDR is more powerful. I'm still trying to...

    Best Hardcourt shoes?

    I was playing in the Barricade IV but found it too heavy. I'm 5'10, 165 and the CC Feather II are the best court shoes I've played in since the Air Flare and Air Tech Challenge 2.

    Agassi Racquet Switch

    The pics don't lie, there was definitely a frame change. The 1st frame looks like an Instinct and the 2nd a Radical. Look at how bad the PJ is on the thicker frame. It seems like his form came on when he switched to the Radical. You can even see defferences in the grommet strips on the side...

    Babolat Pro Hurricane and Luxilon Alu-Power

    I just strung my PDR with Pro Hurricane Tour alone. I was gonna do a hybrid with ALU power but got lazy. I can't imagine how the PHCT plays with ALU. Hey did you use the Hurrciance Tour or the old Hurricane?

    Original Agassi Radical OS now available for pre-order

    I pre-ordered 2, one to hit and the other for my wall. I'm curious as to how it will play weighted. I played with the Radical Tysis 260 TwinTube (grey/white/yellow). The racquet he used in 95. I let a high school buddy use one last year and he "lost" it. Had the sticks for about 10 years...

    Nike Capitalizing on Agassi's retirement

    Mine has the 3 stripes and the notch in the rear collar. I got it about a month ago. I don't think Nike fired AA. I thought he left them.

    Agassi Adidas ClimaCool Feather II's?

    I like em alot. They are surprisingly supportive and require no break-in time. The shoe is extremely lightweight and very breathable. I was playing in the Barricade IV before and the weight difference is incredible. The shoe makes for a very quick first step to the ball. I have not...

    any1 seen that new nike sharapova commercial?

    Nike sucks. They don't need o spend all the money they do on endoresements. Their stuff is way overpriced and the qulaiy has diminished.

    Elbow Pain from Babolat PD Roddick: to give up or to try a different string?

    Dark Slayer has a good point. I find the Babolat grips to run big. I usually play 4.5 but a 4/38 with overgrip on the PDR feels like a 4.5. I was using a POG OS early summer. The PDR is a lighter racquet, albiet by a few grams, close to an ounce. You'd be surprised how much of a...

    Babolat Pure storm, APD and head FP Prestidge

    Look at the AeroPro Drive or the Flexpoint Prestige. The FXP P is heavier and a little stiffer than the AeroPro Drive. The O3 is Ok but not nearly as stiff as the AP or FXPP. I demo'd but didn't like it too soft, not alot of power. Had a muted feel to it. I actually bought one never...

    Favorite forehand motion

    Agassi...still. I love the wind up and open stance. Everything a forehand is not supposed to be!!!! The icing on the cake is how early he takes it on the rise. Looking at him now makesme appreciate him 15 years ago that much more,

    Waht's in Agassi's Bottle
