    Andy Roddick vs. Juan Martin Del Potro USO R16

    Totally selfless of DelPo to stay out there for Andy's speech and act the way he did. Class Act indeed.

    Haha...I swear I heard an "Air Ball" chant as well

    How creepy would it be if Agassi was waiting for Roddick in the tunnel with a cortisone shot?

    Andy Roddick vs. Juan Martin Del Potro USO R16

    Yeah, he needs to come in like he was that first set. Mix in some more S&V.

    For the Phish tank, that is... I apologize, that made no sense whatsoever.

    who is this Llodra guy?

    It's refreshing to see a green hard-court again....so much blue lately.

    Should I go back to poly..?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNVFu7c3yMU Whenever I think about Poly strings, I always listen to this cover by The Band. Never works though.

    String Aficionados - need your help

    Yeah JonnyS&V, I actually read many of your threads promoting Baseline over Polylon, and I should have listened. I impulsively got the Polylon because the Baseline had just gone out of stock, and I figured there couldn't be too much of a difference between the two. Wrong I was.

    String Aficionados - need your help

    I'm a 4.0 all-court player who plays 2-3 times a week. I use a Dunlop 4D 100 and used to play with cheaper Multis (Tourna Quasi Gut, etc.), but after recently experimenting with some of the more powerful Polys at low tensions (Genesis Black Magic, Polystar Energy, etc.), I have fallen in love...

    What string lasts YOU the longest?

    Depending on how much you play, you might look into purchasing an affordable stringer. I got the Gamma X-2 not long ago on the Amazon site for 175.00 with free shipping. I'm extremely happy with the purchase.

    Broken Mains Question (picture)

    Thanks for all of the input. I'm thinking the culprit was probably my sub-par backhand and I just shanked it.

    Broken Mains Question (picture)

    Okay, I'll string it back up and see what happens. Will check the clamps too. Thanks Irvin.

    Broken Mains Question (picture)

    I guess I was just wondering what the cause of this could have been. The racquet is a blacked out 4D100 with new grommets installed a couple of weeks ago; however, I had to purchase the grommets for the Bio100 as I was unable to find any for the 4D100. I was told by a rep from TW that the...

    Broken Mains Question (picture)

    Strung my frame last night with Dunlop Explosive 17g at 44lbs last night. Hit for about 30 minutes this morning with no issue. Hit this evening, and about 5 minutes in, the mains broke near the vibration dampener. I'm not a string breaker, especially with poly, so I'm thinking I must have...

    ***Dunlop Aerogel 1hundred (AG100) club***

    Haven't gotten the chance to hit with it yet, Djoker. I'm waiting for new grommets to arrive (I mistakenly tried to put the old ones back on) As soon as I get the grommets in and string her up, I will let you know if there are any noticeable changes in weight, feel, etc.

    ***Dunlop Aerogel 1hundred (AG100) club***

    Glad to see this thread back on the first page. I just got done blacking out one of my 4D100s out of curiosity. It turned out better than I expected, minus a few imperfections here and there. I sanded, did two layers of primer, two layers flat black paint, and two layers of Clear Coat w/...

    New to Stringing Thing

    I currently have a full bed of Poly Star Energy 17 in my Dunlop 4D100. Strung it in the mid-40's because I felt the 4D100 to be a bit under-powered at first (fixed that with some lead, too). It's soft on the arm and is more powerful than a lot of polys.

    What to expect from indoor "carpet"?

    Yes this type of carpet is very similar to what TennisCoachFLA is talking about, like carpet you would find in a church rec center. Good advice on keeping it casual and wearing proper shoes. I just bought a new pair of Barricades that I wouldn't dare take out there in fear of shattering my...

    What to expect from indoor "carpet"?

    Thanks Lee, always appreciate your detailed posts. I will definitely take your advice into consideration. Should be pretty interesting to see how it plays out. I think it's probably going to be pretty cold in there without electricity anyways, so we may just brave the elements and play...

    What to expect from indoor "carpet"?

    Not sure if this is the right section to post this. I live in a small town with no indoor courts. So my hitting partner and I got in touch with an acquaintance who runs a summer camp in town and asked to use the camp's recreational center to play in this winter. He was fine with it just as...

    Anyone familiar with this Spalding?

    Nice, thanks schu47! Great pictures and a nice little trio you have there. Yeah this Pro-Flite 20 looks pretty much identical to your Graphite Legacy. I think I will take your advice and string it up for a hit. Thanks again.

    Anyone familiar with this Spalding?

    I picked this up at a flea market the other day and was having trouble finding information on it when searching online. It's a Spalding Pro-Flite 20 and has no specs on it other than "The Pro-Flite 20 is designed with a midszie bow for increased power and control...Graphite composite...
