    nCode nSix-One....any cracks?

    I found a crack on my Nsix-One 90 the first week I got it on the throat/shaft area. First I thought nothing of it thinking it was just a paintscratch but it changed the sounds of my string from "ping" pop to a zinging noise. So I sent it back to Wilson around the first week of July and got it...

    Babolat why not try this.....?

    I kinda like that idea. It wouldnt be a replacement, just another alternative. The LM Radical has its own heavier version, Babolat can do the same for this and I would love to see how it feels without the woofer. I strung it at 64 but it eventually creeped back to the woofer zone in a few days.

    Sore wrists

    I got a horrible wrist problem when I first started out due to a horrible backhand. It would sting if I moved my hand in a certain direction. Playing too much with a solid stroke shouldnt have any adverse effects. Something in the stroke I would imagine...

    It's been about two months and I'm ...

    Tried both Xone Biphase and NXT Tour 17's. Right now, just because of the really cool free T-shirt, I'd go for the X-one. But if Tshirt wasn't a factor, I'd prefer NXT Tour by a very small margin.

    Pure drive + string lenghts

    I'll back up that you can split a regular 40' string set and be able to string the PD. Definately around 20' for the mains since a half a set of x-one biphase (40') only had 3-5 inches leftover on each side after wrapping around the drop weight drum. If I tried with a poly, I probably wouldve...

    TW Staff - Any plans to carry the Volkl Tour10 MP Gen II?

    Gamma Progression FC vs. X-FC

    Im looking to upgrade from my SP Swing to a Gamma. Both the Progression FC and the new X-FC are similarly priced and they both look very much alike. Can anyone explain the differences between the 2 models? From what I can tell, the Progression FC seems to have puny plastic clamps whereas X-FC...

    Best looking set packets?

    I like those dunlop cases! They are reusable as CD cases after using the string.

    Is the silent partner swing good?

    I have the swing and so far its been a pleasure stringing. At first you will have some difficulties. Few things of concern to me were 1) am I clamping too hard or is it too loose? 2) Did I even mount the racquet correctly? 3) Stupid Clutch system is giving me blisters!!! 4) Stupid Clutch system...

    anybody played with the original dunlop max 200 g

    Such a fine racquet its a shame it cost Dunlop so much to manufacture it that they had to discontinue it. This racquet has one of the few technologies that actually makes a difference. One cant tell if the Liquidmetal or Nanotechnology is doing anything but that Grafil Injection is definately...

    Technologies for 2005

    Just wondering what new "improvements" companies will come up with next. Head had a successful run with the Intelligence series and expanded on that by shoving an X in the equation (i.x6 for example). After losing too many customers due to wrists breaking, arms snapping off, by making racquets...

    Us Open NYC

    Definately stay in Manhatten for sightseeing, shopping, whatever tourists love to do. You COULD stay at the Sherton Hotel in Flushing which is 1 block away from the 7 train which is 1 stop away from the Tennis Center and Arthur Ashe Stadium but stay in the city for all the lights and sights.

    Most Durable Hard Court Balls

    Dunlop definately has the best pressure maintenance. But if you or your buddies tend to slice a lot, the fuzz rips off quicker than Wilson's balls.

    Another Woofer system question.

    Due to initial tension loss of 5-10%, can I string a Babolat Drive at 60-62 and have the woofer system kick in. The string should settle into the woofer's optimized range in 24 hours near its high point. I want to string as high as possible and still get thier system to kick in. Will that work?

    Which ones will become classics / collectors' racquets ?

    I have a feeling that Babolat's Pure Drive will be looked back upon in 20 years as the legendary racquet that changed the style of the game to what it is in the future (Probably sheer powergame by then).

    Powerdisc addiction?

    Youre right, it moved down 4 points so now its 12 points headlight all together including the overgrip. I wanted the balance to be a bit headlight-er than the powerdisc. Didnt really want to change it from its original starting point, but if it doesnt make my racquet feel like a baseball bat, Im...

    Lead tape

    There will be some sticky residue leftover but it is easily removed by rubbing your fingers over it for a few seconds.

    Powerdisc addiction?

    For some reason, I hate having lead tape in the head or anywhere above the throat. Makes it feel bulky but thats probably due to the balance point moving straight up! And Holy #$^%&*^ 18oz is insane. I thought I went over the top with lead tape!

    but those blobs look just like Coria and Safin! Honestly it looks amazing except for the ball. But as long as I know its general direction, it's all good!

    To Those Who Have Downloaded Tennis Matches..

    I also watch full screen on 1680x1050. The ball movement is a bit awkward but I could care less since Im getting to watch great matches I missed this season due to work. Thanks soooo much AndyC :mrgreen:

    Powerdisc addiction?

    http://bingweb.binghamton.edu/~dkim7/SV400059.JPG Hidden under that wrap is the original 12 on the shaft. Works wonders on my backhand, is great for the forehand. However, once I take the weight off, I need an adjustment period to get the hang of the original weight again. And even then, my...

    Powerdisc addiction?

    How did I shove 48 grams into the racquet? Babolat's Super Double Dense Lead Tape. 8 in the handle. 12 on the shaft. That was the original modification. Then I added 20 on the shaft in a twirl fashion on each side. Did I say 48? I meant 60. I look like a walking advertisement for Babolat though...
