    What's your 'psych up' song(s)?

    Brothers Keepers - Adriano (Letzte Warnung) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXawL-LFgi8 And I'm not normally a rap fan, but I always find this song very emotive.

    UK TT racquetaholics and tennis bums

    Guys, I think you all need to give Topspin overgrips a try, especially if tacky white grips are up your street. I bought 60 for £30 (incl p&p) from Torsports as a replacement for Babolat overgrips, which lack durability and tack. Whats great is that they retain tackiness even when dirtied...

    Realplayer will also allow you to download a youtube video - however it doesn't allow for sound only downloads.

    Softest poly with good tension maintenance?

    Either SPPP or Topspin Cyberblue. Easily the two softest polys that I've played with that also offer all other required attributes.

    Playing mainly on clay in Duesseldorf Jazar? Do you find this has a detrimental effect on string durability?

    Want to string my own sticks

    Crank machines are a little easier and quicker to use however they don't offer any more accuracy than a drop weight. There has been previous discussion on the merits of 2,4 & 6 point racket clamping and the reason goes that the fewer points of contact with the racket that the machine has the...

    After stringing. Do you need to wait 24-48 hours ?

    Don't forget though that the previous posters have talked about tension maintenance being amplified, this won't be an issue for a pro who gets their racquets freshly strung each day.

    I could do with some tennis ball advice. At the beginning of summer I bought a case of Penn tennis balls - although the initial outlay seemed fairly large I could see that over the course of the summer it would make excellent financial sense (no more trips to and from the sports store = petrol...

    Agreed. A touch of perspective on what we're actually getting upset over is needed.

    Firstly, TT is a free service so I don't think it is right of us to expect the staff to spend hours of their time pouring through thousands of posts. Secondly, TWs rules on posting items for sale in sections other than For Sale/For Trade are clearly displayed in 'Board Policies': 5...

    Thanks Spencer, that clears the issue up. And I would also like to voice my support for an EU buy/sell section - the previous thread was the only real way to efficiently buy and sell UK based items as they are too easily lost in the worldwide buy/sell section. Dave M - this thread will likely...

    Cheaper versions of Red and Black code?

    Pro's Pro Blackout is very similar to Tecnifibre Blackcode. Here in Europe it retails at approx €25/£25 for 200m and has received very favourable reviews on stringforum.net. Yes, it does seem too cheap to be true but the string is surprisingly good and I have switched to it having previously...

    Pro's Pro Black Out

    I couldn't agree more. I switched to this string having believed that MSV Hex would be 'the' string for me. However it is very difficult to resist a string that has very similar properties, doesn't sacrifice on playability and cost me £25 for 200m. Yes, after 10 hours of play the string is...

    DISASTER... Ran out of MATCH PRO strings (Tennis Tech)

    Smirker - have you tried Pro's Pro Blackout? I have been an MSV Hex user for several months now and wouldn't have considered changing until I stumbled on Blackout on 'the Bay'. It was described as having very similar properties as MSV Hex, Blackcode etc but I was initially sceptical, mainly due...

    How to calibrate crank machine..

    I have a Pro's Pro crank stringing machine (similar to Eagnas for those in the U.S and elsewhere) and have recently bought a tension calibrator. The calibrator is suggesting that the machine is a few pounds out, i.e I am stringing at a lower tension that the machine is actually indicating...

    Well done Moz. I live only 30 mins from Bolton indoor arena so if I have a clear schedule I might pop up/right-ish to see some matches.

    Going Full Time at Tennis

    Have you had a chance to see SJ play Moz? I saw him at last year's Manchester challenger, he had a main draw dubs WC & beat James Ward/Miles Armstrong in R1 [eventually losing to Goodall/Ryderstedt in a pretty tight R2 encounter]. I would imagine that he transfers his s&v game into singles -...

    Are Futures tournaments a lot harder than the USTA Adult Open tournaments?

    Very much so. Some of the bigger Futures events in the States, Spain often have 128 player qualifying draws. This means four winning rounds are needed just to qualify. However if you played in a weaker event, an African Futures for example, you may need only one win in qualifying to make the...
