I was just thinking about the same - that the Baiardo was taking the shine off my new 1500.:(

My new 1500

What are you asking for the 6004? I was planning on ordering one tomorrow.

The only video I've found that shows an actual racquet being strung with a Stringway is on youtube. Titled Stringway MK2 crossstringers. It doesn't show the pulling head, which I'd guess is electronic on this video, but you can get a good look at the T92 clamp drawback that's been discussed...

My son wanted me to teach him how to string so he could string for his fellow high school teammates. It sounded like a good idea, until he found out another player on the team is charging $5, and supplying the string! I checked out one of his string jobs and it looked fine. Assuming he's getting...

That Mantis bag looks nice. Any news on when they'll be available in the US?

If not, it shouldn't take much longer.

USTPA Pro Penn balls are our team & clubs ball of choice. I do agree that other Penn balls are bad. We just played in the state final this past weekend and they supplied Penn balls. By the end of the second set they looked ancient. The felt was badly worn down, they looked like old practice balls.

I totally agree. First tennis shoe in years that was comfortable for me right out of the box. I normally need several weeks to break a shoe in before it's right for me.

I've also seen DQ's happen at tournaments. We were also told a DQ would result in any wins by that player being disqualified and result in losses. We were told that at our league playoffs, area finals and the state final this year. We had to wait around 1/2 hour to 45 minutes after each match to...

Sorry about the double post.

If a player is DQ'd at sectionals, how does that affect their record at the state finals? Are all their previous wins DQ'd? Would they take the state championship away from that team if it made a difference in the outcome? If so, it would be too late for the new winner to go to sectionals.

I see, a very positive approach. Nothing wrong with that.

I realize state finals as well as sectionals happen all different weekends. He said he was going to Nationals next weekend. I was asking how nationals can start before sectionals are done.

Last year at the state tournament we played a team where one player would two foot/foot fault. The USTA official watched him do it 4 or 5 times before calling it. So evidently, even they are reluctant to call it some times.

We see definite evidence of that every year. We dominate our side of the state(Western Michigan), then go to state and usually lose to a much better Detroit team. If we're very lucky(once in 14 years) we beat Detroit and go on to sectionals in Indy, where we(or the usual Detroit team) gets...

We haven't even played our state finals yet(this weekend). Then sectionals are in Indy the next weekend. How can some teams be going to Nationals already, with others not even to their state finals yet?

I know it as a reverse half hitch http://www.realknots.com/knots/hitches.htm

Are there any videos of one of these Stringway machines in action? I've seen the videos on their web site. I want to see one actually stringing a racquet.

Well, he wasn't in "god" mode today, but he did squeak out a win.

Sounds like a new machine is in my near future. I've got a lead on a 2-3 year old Babolat 5-star that looks in excellent condition for $1300. Sound like a good deal?

I'm new to the forum, but I have been stringing for over 15 years. I have a Czech Sports CT750 that's starting to give me troubles. The crank/tension assembly is starting to act up. The lock-out tension head doesn't always lock out, and I really have to watch or I'm pulling too much tension...

I get a set and a half(like clockwork) in match play, less time in a hard practice. Gamma TNT 18, strung at 67 lbs. Even though I string my own and TNT isn't too expensive, it still adds up to 2-3 sets per week, sometimes more. I'm in the middle of a long search for a new string or hybrid combo...

My first post! I vote for a mix of both. Years ago, I was on a team and we would do a 2 hour drill with a pro once per week on Tuesday nights, then play a practice or real match once per week as well, usually on Saturdays. My game peaked during my time on that team. That club closed and we...
