    question about the addidas barricade V warranty

    Hi, I had a quick question about the warranty. I bought a pair and sent them in and got back a pair of white/black B5's. Now the pair is worn down and I am looking for another pair, but I was wondering if I buy a different color B5 can I send in my old pair with the new receipt so I dont...

    Need help with us open! 9/1 Grandstand matches? Quick please :)

    Hi, I was thinking of buying tickets for September 1st. Since it is the round of 16, will there be mens/womens singles play on grandstand? Just wondering because if I buy tickets I would stay at the grandstand and want to make sure it is not junior/senior/doubles. Thanks a lot!

    Fastest way to wear down shoes?

    Hey, I have a pair of barricade IV's and the 6-month time limit on the guarantee ends in two weeks. I need a little more to go, but can't play that much tennis...(hurt my ankle). Any way to wear them down fast? Lol, only because I know that if I dont send them in now they will be useless in a...

    Will Federer Ever win the French Open?

    I think this year was Federers best chance to win it, now I think everything is going to go downhill for him (I still think he will take 2 more gs) but he may even lose wimbledon to nadal :shock: especially if you saw the replay of last years wimby today, nadal was shockingly close, a couple of...

    Which wing is more solid for you?

    Backhand. My one hander doesnt really fail on me like my forehand does on some days. Though my forehand can kill the ball much better. Then only time I actually hit a winner on my bh is a dropshot, volley, or angled.

    Recommend me a demo pls..PSC 6.1 replacement

    I dont think you will find anything close to the PSC. I keep trying to sell mine and go back eventually. Other racquets work great from just the baseline, or are exceptional on serves, but nothing comes close to the all-court of the PSC. I tried a lot of the racquets you wanted (T-fight 335...

    Does this qualify for free replacement ?

    I dont think so... I think the picture quality makes it seem worse than it is. Also the pattern on the BFII is different and makes it look more worn. Seems like only a small portion is actually worn out, the rest seems fine...have any better pics?

    Swing weight experiments at 5.0-5.5 level - and advice needed.

    Not to hijack, but people here seem to know SW. Can anyone tell me the swingweight of my 2 PSC 6.1's? 1. 2 grams at 12 in 2 inch pieces. 2 grams at 3 in 2 inch pieces. 2 grams at 9 in 3 inch pieces. 4 grams at 10 and 4 grams at 2 in 4 inch pieces. I used 1/4 in lead tape btw. Also the racquet...

    Tennis Camps in Boston?

    Wow, thanks. That actually seems great as it is right across the street and the price is only 570, which is around the same as a weekly tennis camp here. Thanks, I will look into that and if anyone else has any other suggestions, they will be greatly appreciated.

    Tennis Camps in Boston?

    Hi, I am going to Boston over the summer because my brother goes to college at BU and I am going to take some classes there. Any good tennis camps up there that are close by and for probably a week or two (no car, so I am going to have to take a bus or subway). BTW, I am going to be 16 and...

    Yea, I love night play. Cool, no sun glare, and no background stuff to distract you.

    paintjob quality on m-fil 300?

    Actually, I think the MF300 paintjob is worse than the other companies (even the Aerogel 200's paintjob quality is FAR superior to the MF300). To me it seemed as if everytime the racquet touched the ground it would chip a little...not bad luck, but that is just the m-fil line.

    Barricade IV Black/Silver discontinued?

    Do you think the prices for the BIV's will drop slightly/go on sale then? I just bought a cheaper pair of shoes (fila terra) to last through the winter and when the spring and school tennis season starts I was going to buy a pair of barricades IV's.

    Teaching little kids how to play tennis?

    I recently got a job coaching little kids (10 and under) how to play tennis. Most of them have never played tennis in their lives before and was wondering if anyone knows any good games to play with them? Thanks a lot!

    Enough string???

    Yea, would probably fit in the crosses. Then you can use another half set and get a full gut job and still have 20ft for a hybrid.

    True confessions of a midsize racquet addict

    I have to agree with that statement. I tried a friends wilson reflex 85 from years back and that week of playing with that racquet was probably the most fun I have had playing tennis in a long time. The extra work really makes you appreciate (and concentrate more) on the game instead of getting...

    I didn't know what ball hopper to get so i got this 50 ball hoppette

    Go and get the stand one. Much more helpful and the 18 balls count for about 12 dollars anyway. You can also look around on the internet, I got my 75 gamma hopper for 20 shipped (though no balls).

    Baricade Sizing vs Nike

    I think adidas is a little smaller. I wear a 13 reebok (little roomy) but a 12 in adidas fits (little snug) so I am guessing a 12.5 would be perfect on the BIV's. So they tend to run half a size smaller...

    << ~~~~ The 1HFH & 1HBH Club ~~~~ >>

    It is a 95. Yea, I have tried mids and pretty much all of my shots have tons more spin and control (slightly less power, except on the serve) so I was thinking of changing over to a 90. Though I just have to find the right one (thinking about the AG 100). The volkl C10 pro also hits very nice...

    << ~~~~ The 1HFH & 1HBH Club ~~~~ >>

    Finally got it down to a consistent shot after about a year, though now I am full 1hbh 1 hfh. Prostaff Classic 6.1 (16x18) with a little bit of lead on the head and a leather grip.

    Only one Model

    Plus there would not be a wide range of racquets for different levels. If wilson only made the K90, then most people would probably be screwed and would have to buy from somewhere else (and if prince only made the POG they would have to turn to somewhere else, head the prestige, etc.).

    any reason?

    Because the reels are open and the moisture might damage the strings. In single packages it stays "fresh" until the moment you begin to string it.

    I need to fill up my 75 capacity hopper... r practice balls good?

    Dont get gamma practice balls. Bought 4 cans, out of them about 5 balls were dead out of the can, not even hit with once.

    what difference does guage of string make.

    I would go with 16 and then work from there. For me 16 is the standard and then if you feel you need durability move to 15L if you want more spin then 17 or 16L.

    Racquet similar to Wilson Pro Staff Classic 6.1

    I actually did not find the K6.1 to my liking. Still like my prostaff classics better. The K-factor seems too stiff and not as stable, though it does have more power with the same control.
