I made a mistake stringing and wasted some string (see this thread for details), so when I got to the last cross I barely had enough to go across. It might have been enough to tie a knot, but it definitely wasn't enough to tension it. I decided to not worry about the last cross and just tie it...

Today I was stringing my nCode tour 90 with BB ALU Power. This was my 5th string job, and my first one with real strings (I had been using gamma strings that came with my machine). After I had finished the mains, tied them off, and cut them, I realized that I did not skip one of the holes on...

I had the same problem with my nCode tour 90. The last cross took 30 minutes (it was my 4th string job). I tried everything, and it just wouldn't go through. Steve, I read your tip in the Racquet Sports Industry magazine about making a loop out of the string to prevent blocked holes...

I saw Christian Harrison (the small boy in that video) play here in the national 16 open.

One thing would be modern instruction. So many teaching pros still teach things that were taught 30 years ago. For a good example of modern instruction, check out hi-techtennis.com, tennisplayer.net, and **********.com. If you need any help with the site (design, maintainence, whatever) I...

I agree. I caught Davis Cup, Australian Open, and Gambill (I think) but that is it. He has the Joakim Noah hair going on, too. :p

Thanks, that worked perfectly. They also have the Bryan Brothers net play, so hopefully they'll have Roddick's serve and someone else's backhand.

Thanks, now I'll see if I can figure out how to download the video.

I was surprised as well. The footage was from a very good angle right on the court.

Did anyone else see this? It was a segment during the Australian open coverage of James Blake talking about his forehand along with some high speed footage. If anyone TiVo'd it or recorded it, I would love to see the high-speed footage again. Also, the stuff I saw in the slow motion video...

Thanks. If it ever happens again I'll have to try this.

I got my X-2 today and tried stringing my first racquet. However, I wasted two sets because the string got caught in the jaw of the gripper three times. Afterwards, I read in the manual that the jaw must be in a certain position every time, which I wasn't doing. Could this be the cause of the...

I ordered the X-2 from Hola yesterday, but my order was canceled because you can only have it shipped to the billing address if you order with a credit card. Since it was a gift, the billing and shipping addresses were not the same. Has anyone else ever heard of a crazy policy like this...

Thanks for finding that. Now I need to decide between three sets of strings and free shipping and 10 sets of strings with $20 shipping. Obviously the second is a better deal, but I doubt I will ever play with the Gamma string.

Did you get the USRSA manual with it? For people who have, is the manual worth it? Also, does anyone know if H0labird comes with that much string, because they are the only place with free shipping? I probably won't use that much string but it will be good to practice with.

Thanks, I've decided that's what I am going to do.

Thanks, I think I'm going to go with the X-2. I'm still open to suggestions, though. Also, what is the best place to get it from? ATS Sports provides a free USRSA stringing manual as well as 3 sets of strings, and M*dwest Sports has a string/grip bonus package worth over $100 but no mention...

I'm going to be getting a stringing machine as a late Christmas present, and need to decide which one to get. Right now I am leaning towards the X-2. Which machine would you recommend in that price range? I wish I could get something with fixed clamps, but I am limited to about $130, which...

My Barricades look almost exactly the same and was wondering the same thing. Guess I'll send them in soon.

The more of an angle you have, the more spin there is going to be. If you hit with the racquet completely straight it is going to be very difficult to get much topspin.

Got this shirt a couple of weeks ago and I love it. http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/descpageNIKE-NBDPC.html The only thing I don't like is the two little black stitch marks on the front at the top left and right. I'm not sure why they are there, but everytime I look at the front of...

The history class I am going to be in this coming year has huge curves because the tests are very hard. A 50 point curve is quite common in that class.

No, he means Festivus, the holiday created by Frank Costanza on Seinfeld. A Festivus for the rest of us!

August 8th.. less than 2 weeks :(.

When I was 7 or 8, the mother of someone on my baseball team always watched games with long pants and sleeves, a huge hat, and gloves. It was very hot, too. It seemed so wierd until I figured out she was. Yep... a dermatologist.

It's a non-fiction book about medieval Europe. I can't really say much more about it as I haven't read it yet.

I have to read The Prince by Machiavelli, A World Lit Only By Fire by William Manchester, and Anatomy of Revolution by Crane Brinton by the time school starts in 2 weeks. So far I've only read half of The Prince. I heard Anatomy of Revolution is incredibly boring, so I probably won't even end...

Awesome, you watch Top Gear? I download every episode of it since I don't get BBC here. I'm waiting right now for the rip of todays episode to come out so I can download it.

Surprised no one has posted this yet.
