    Found this on her webpage : Cute little lady. :)

    Camila Giorgi, I am falling in love with her...

    I don't think she's skinny, Hantuchova is. But surely your preferences and mine aren't the same. :) Though I never watch Giorgi's full match I agree with OP. I think on court she's charming like Sharapova but in positive way (Masha has a bit negative aura in her IMO). From...

    Nadal v Dolgopolov. DON'T SEARCH THE RESULT, SEARCH THE REPLAY SCHEDULE!

    I really thought it was gonna be a single sided match, so I turned on my TV just to watch which match was playing. Very lucky it was Nadal vs Dolgopolov's last set. VERY VERY DRAMATIC TILL THE LAST POINT, even the commentators acknowledged that. No spoiler, just search the replay schedule...

    What Is The Title of This Song?

    After one full year I'm still curious what is the title of this fun music (Youtube): Roger Federer Hits With James Blake - Australian Open 2013. Anyone know?

    Best Net Point

    I'm still watching Djokovic vs Nadal match in FO (no score info here). There was one incredible net point produced by those two. The ball was always very tricky and close to the net while the players worked hard for every shot (no info on who won the point). It wasn't a very long point but very...

    The Best String Lubricant Is...

    I agree with Backhanded Compliment. It dries up very quick and what you get is lubricant as much as new poly. Moreover tennis is never a hygiene sport to begin with - I don't know any tennis equipment that is food grade quality (except Nadal's especially prepared trophy :P). Have you ever...

    The Best String Lubricant Is...

    It's a spray, use it with caution and hardly get into skin. To be frank I purposefully touched it to know how it feels and no problem happened within a few minutes before I washed my hand. That's not something I would call "extremely harmful" to skin/body.

    Why does Federer miss so much?

    I kinda feel that his footwork and reading/prediction of his opponent shots aren't as good as before. Perhaps his fitness (with his back problem) plays very big role.

    Dunlop Biomimetic 100 Club

    The last European shop I knew selling lime green Bio has sold it out. I think you should find that in China, there're still a lot. I just knew this club exist. I'm joining in with my stock lime green Bio 100 with Gamma leather. Love it so much. But I'm worried how long it would last since its...

    S. Wawrinka injuried; uncertain for Roland-Garros

    AHAHAHA. Hurt my stomach. >_< Well, I hope he doesn't force himself too much. Full support to him anyway. b^^

    Dunlop Biomimetic F100

    I saw the racket is already available (not yet on TW unfortunately). If anyone tried that please share the experience. Thanks in advance. :) PS. It'd be great if there's also comparison with the old Biomimetic 100 and the new mid favourite Yonex Vcore 89 Tour. The specification: •...

    Best tennis match ever played

    Thank you for sharing the highlight, I haven't followed tennis that time. It's the kind of match I'd like to enjoy: intensely aggressive - hardly stand more than a metre behind the baseline. Out of the matches I watched on TV I choose Rafa vs Roger at Wimbledon 2008.

    The Best String Lubricant Is...

    Just copy from Penray Facebook page (I swear it's no advertising >_<): Since it won't harm organic things such as rubber and leather I think it should be okay with gut. 100% not sure though. :twisted:

    Strings die without use?

    From my experience synthetics and multis are more prone to be passively notched. Not much, but I don't like it. Before resting the racket I usually pull the crosses downward slightly (toward the throat) and put lubricant on it - I feel the string is quite fresh even after being kept for months...

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

    From what I know TW's SW spec is usually different to the factory published version. This is still a mystery for me. If anyone want to borrow me the stock teal version, 4 3/8 plus gamma leather grip I will gladly compare the two. :P

    The Best String Lubricant Is...

    I second this, with different brand: http://penray.com/products/silicone-spray/. If you ever touch new unstrung string that is slippery (Polystar Energy is one good example) it feels just like that. Dry fast and doesn't mess up the ball. Whether the silicon lubricant is applied on used...

    Wilson SGX 16

    Just please read my other post: tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showpost.php?p=7211441&postcount=14 and you'll understand that my purpose is totally different to your assumption. It's better if you try that on freshly strung racquet 2-3 times to open your mind a little about another technique. Don't...

    Wilson SGX 16

    I just know that Duraflex also has the same construction to SGX 16 as well. I think I'll start looking for it in nearby stores. So, from power, comfort and spin how is it different to SGX 16? @PrincessAdam, Buford T Justice & zapvor: The idea of lubricating has been around for quite some...

    Favorite racket head size

    Aha, found a new companion in racquet. ^_^ I vote 90, very fun to play with - like driving manual. 95 comes next.

    Racquet Technologies in 1

    If you were given a chance to design a racquet with any existing technologies from all brands, what would you put? Lets put 10 as the maximum number. Just for fun, i'll put Volkl Optispot and Dunlop Aeroskin on a 60 sq" wooden racquet. ........ Sorry, I'm no racquet guru. :P

    Wilson SGX 16

    I just checked the Prince Lightning XX 16 and I think your stringer was right. It's very surprising from so many feedbacks they're like arguing about its durability. But I agree that this is not a player string, but for rec players or coaching.

    Dunlop racquet technology?

    My Bio100 felt good for me, so I don't if Aeroskin affects its performance, but for paintjob I do like it.

    Wilson SGX 16

    Okay please back to the SGX 16, I'd like to know other player's experience using this string and perhaps some suggestion of string that similar priced with better performance.

    Wilson SGX 16

    *Delete my earlier post. @zapvor: Just read this article for the spin part. For preparation I only use a minute prior to and another 2 after playing tennis while listening to music, read news or anything. IMO it's a small thing that bring big change. A friend of mine didn't like it and just...

    Wilson SGX 16

    The purpose is to have less friction so that it can produce more spin and be more durable and livelier. It works well with some tips, and I'll write it down latter if it interests you. @goosala: How was your setup when it felt stiff?

    Wilson SGX 16

    Has anyone tried this string before? I was using Wilson Red Alert and for me SGX 16 provides more powerful, softness, feel, touch and yet a bit cheaper. Spin and slice is marginally better but hinder by its power. Control is noticeably worse. Durability is still unknown, but seems on par. When...

    Wilson Red Alert

    Hi, fortun8son. Have you ever tried Wilson SGX 16? Comparing to Red Alert it's softer, more powerful, about the same spin friendly, cheaper, but less control - while I still can't comment about durability, but so far so good. When freshly strung it has pretty weird sound, like plastic. I try...
