I think the cost of the sport is fairly low down on the list. There are more millionaires in China than there are people in Australia.

I'm toying with the same comparison, so very interested in other people's opinions! I'm finding it hard to justify the extra $$$ on the GT version.

I have some Cyberflash, so I was just going to use that. They're pretty smooth anyway, aren't they? I almost never break any strings.

I'm in the St George area. Used to play at North Ryde (Tennis World) and I'm just reserving for now as I've had an 18 month break from tennis.

I've noticed some people will put natural gut on the mains whilst others put natural gut on the crosses - which is the way to go? Does natural gut go OK if the other string is poly? Also, should the mains or the crosses have a slightly higher tension?

I had another thought - what if I just strung the racquet even lower? Is there anything really wrong about stringing in the low 40's?

Are you confusing me with someone else? I've only had a very brief fling with a Tecnifibre 315 something or rather :)

Thanks for the suggestions. The ProStaff Tour 95 I have is the lighter version, so weighs only 326g unstrung although I probably have around 10g in lead just above the handle. This has worked well for me in the past, but coming from a long layoff and with my timing a bit off, I think I might...

After an 18 month layoff, I'm finally back on the courts with my leaded up ProStaff Tour 95. My previous racquet history has mainly been the ProStaff Tour 90 and ProStaff 6.0 95. I tend to string my racquets very loosely - around 47/48lbs. I'm thinking it might be time to start going...

I'm surprised that my high top basketball shoes weigh 1 oz less than that!

I'm after a pair of lightweight tennis shoes - what is out there at the moment? Not fussed with having the latest and greatest, so last season's stock is perfectly fine.

Shoes are just shoes to me. I don't follow all the latest releases, so why the sarcasm?

Did this shoe ever end up being released? What tennis shoes are there out there with the Flywire thingy?

Since when did making the grand slam final and losing become inferior to not making the grand slam final at all?

I played with the Tour 90 for about a year and have been experimenting with a leaded up Tour 95. I still haven't been able to get the same plough through, but at least it's a lot more forgiving.

Nice plow through, stable, good on serves. Quite a heavy racquet as well. Haven't played with the nCode version of this frame, so can't compare.

Ahah, I do see the resemblance. If only John McGinley was like 6'6 as well :P

Of course, Wayne Ferreira! Definite redhead in my books. http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/images/39360000/jpg/_39360317_ferreiraafp.jpg In his playing days, I would say Marc Rosset was a brown top, but of the recent photos I've seen, he seems to be getting redder with age...

Just compiling a list of the greatest ginger tops of all time. 1. Jim Courier 2. Boris Becker - jury is out whether he is a true redhead. 3. Mark Woodforde Also, if anyone can compile a redhead to redhead record, that would be extremely helpful in determining who the GROAT is.

I work in Rhodes, so might be able to have a lunch time hit. What level do you play?

Hey, that was ME! :P But don't worry, I recently got my hands on a couple of ATP Tour 93's.

And suddenly all the old school racquet tragics come out of the woodwork! Great find mate, I've recently also got hold of a particular Snauwaert that I've been looking for for years, so yeah, you must be over the moon!

Depends on your level. I went from the 6.0 95 to the ProStaff Tour 90 and yeah, considerably more shanking all round. I found the 6.0 95 to not suit people who make contact with the ball in the top section of the hoop when serving.

Dude, you have some serious thrill issues.

There is a company that makes these but I don't have the brand name on me. It's essentially a 3 ball plastic cylinder with a screw top lid that pressurises the ball. I bought it in a pro shop (but I'm not in the US).

I actually went from a leaded up 6.0 95 to the stock Tour 90. Didn't like the upper hoop of the 6.0 95.

My spec sticker is the same - white text on silver. And it's not a sticker, it's printed on. I do have the hologram though, and I've noticed the throat has wilson.com rather than wilsontennis.com. Does yours have all this as well? Do you know if yours is legit?

I already currently use the 90, and need a bigger head, which was why I was asking.

What that guy just said. I'll add that it's a nice racquet and I did play matches with it for a short while. Decided in the end that I needed more manouverability, something not characteristic of OS racquets.

Wilson, if you are reading this... PLEASE make a 6.0 95 sq in version of this Sampras stick!
