    Recent Six One 95 Comparison

    Think it's been about a decade since I last posted anything on these forums... but for old time's sake, figured I'd give it a run. Currently 27, 4.0 all court player. Played with the Head Microgel Radical MP in college and a few years after before selling the sticks. Have been playing with the...

    Are the newer Head Microgel Radical MP's the same as the older ones?

    Matt G, please send me a private message for some pics. I'd be happy to send some your way.

    Are the newer Head Microgel Radical MP's the same as the older ones?

    I've been playing with a MG Radical MP for about 2-3 years now, and just grabbed another 2 from TW a few days ago. I haven't gotten a chance to string them up with my normal setup, so take this with a grain of salt. It does feel like the new rackets are slightly stiffer- but not...

    TW Leather vs Fairway

    Thought I'd pitch in my 2 cents on this topic. I've been playing with Fairways on my MG Rads so when I ordered some more sticks, I decided to have TW slap their 22x1300x1.5mm leather grip. First thoughts: It feels significantly less friendly in my hand than does the Fairway. It feels a...

    Feedback/Praise Regarding Last Order

    Hey! Just wanted to give you guys a shout out and a thank you for the excellent service on my last order. I ordered a pair of Head MG Radical MP's and two leather grips. I then called requesting racket matching and for you guys to apply the grips. I ran into some issues the first time I...

    When Racket Matching, Do We Get the Specs?

    Hey! I ordered a pair of MG Rads recently and requested that they be chosen to be as close as possible (I think you guys call it the MRT service?). Do you guys provide the info regarding the exact specs of each racket? Just wondering. Thanks!

    String in the Pre-Strung MG Rads from TW?

    Just grabbed another 2 MG Rads from TW earlier today- according to TW's site, they come prestrung with sonic pro. Any idea regarding tension or how long the string's been in the rackets?

    How do I get over my endless racquet search?

    Assign your favorite demoes a number between one and three. Use a random number generator to pick a number. Buy two of those rackets. Forget about demoing, and just go out and practice.

    Request: Quick Comparison of the Radicals

    Hey guys, I'm curious as to a quick comparison of the entire Radical MP line, from the TI-I-FXP-MG-youtuek?-whatever came afterwards. I'm currently playing with the MG Rad and have just picked up a TI rad (hopefully will get to me soon!). I'm curious as to some comparisons between the...

    Anybody in Chicago?

    Moved to Chicago about 2 weeks ago for a summer internship. Would love to hit around with some people. I'm 3.5-4.0, although I haven't played in a couple months. Let me know. I'll be here until 8/23.

    Ideas for Ways to Meet People In a New City?

    Hey guys, Been a long time since I posted here. I'm in Chicago this summer working for a wonderful firm. Only downside is that I know very few people here and have little-no idea how to meet additional people, given that my normal avenue consists of going to a frat (hi college!). This is...

    Squash Racket Strings/Stringing

    Hey guys. Glad to see the board is still up active. I got introduced to squash about two years ago, and have been enjoying it since. Recently destroyed my first racket in a racket-wall collision, and am getting a replacement shipped my way. It's used, and I can't imagine the strings being...

    Not really- the school doesn't offer finance. I'm an econ and math double major.

    Meowmix's Free String Giveaway

    I'm amused at my ethics being called into question on the basis of requesting people answer these questions for string. Then again, I have no need to validate my beliefs or your claims. Believe whatever you wish. tennis-nut, my email address is meowmix 0669 at gmail. Please contact me.

    Meowmix's Free String Giveaway

    I doubt anybody else will answer these. pvaudio and bigmalik, please email me. I'll send the two of you each 1/2 of the strings I have on me. Decide between yourselves on: Prince Beast Wilson STT127 Lux Adrenaline (1/2) PSG Red 17 (1/2) Not much, but meh. The whole point of this was that...

    Meowmix's Free String Giveaway

    Once per week, I will be giving away one free set of strings. I am no longer playing tennis anywhere near as much as I was before due to stressful terms, high workloads, internship searches, etc. I have a few sets of string on me, and will be doing a few of these. Some weeks' string giveaway...

    unreal ! rips control price almost doubles in one day?

    For the most part, you can blame yourself for the price hike- since so many people like/use the string (aka sales are extremely high), Head figures that there is some more than enough demand to justify this increase in prices. If nobody bought the string, then the string would no longer even be...

    The Real Game Improvement Rackets

    However, keep in mind who these rackets are geared for. Your Big Bubbas are more geared towards an older crowd who have the technique, but are no longer as powerful as they once were. The Big Bubba and the Big bubba Tour (11.2 ounce version) were geared towards a reasonably advanced crowd with...

    Fairway

    Just as an FYI, Fairway leather grips continue to be manufactured by a company in Japan. These new grips are NOT of the same quality and build as the old ones. Whether or not these are old stock... I have no idea. Edit: Nevermind, those are old stock. They look exactly like the ones I...

    Babolat PD Swirly Review/Thoughts

    Wow, haven't posted on here in months... In any case, I picked up a PD Swirly from somebody on here a few months ago. Was extremely busy this past term and haven't gotten around to posting my thoughts on the racket until now. For those of you unfamiliar with the racket, the PD Swirly...

    How much was your first paycheck?

    Got my first paycheck working for the med school here while on work study- it was something like $200 for a month or two's of work. Very happy.

    String Key?

    Also keep in mind that string companies have their own ways of defining their guages. I've found that one company's 18g string may only be a 17g at another company (Klip, I'm looking at you). Within a company though, a 16g will be thicker than a 17g which will be thicker than an 18g.

    Low Priced Natural Gut

    $15/half set gets you a number of pretty good guts. Klip Legend (all versions), Tonic, Pacific (Classic, Prime), etc. You could also go for the lesser known brands (performaxx- I have no experience w/ them but have read good reviews, gaucho/global- not high quality stuff, but $15 nets you a...

    Gut- The Amazing but Boring String?

    I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but the more I play with gut, the more that I feel that it's a boring string. Now, don't get me wrong, I love gut. Nothing I've tried matches the softness of the string, nor how long the thing lasts while staying fresh. For a guy that doesn't see too much...

    Experienced Beginner Racquet Questions.

    Not a huge squash player, but I've been dabbling in it for the past year or so. One key difference is the kind of spin you put on balls. In squash, you're used to putting a ton of backspin on the balls. Topspin is just plain stupid when you're trying to get the ball to die. You're trying...

    Getting back to stringing, need a machine recommendation

    Just for the record, somebody near me was selling an H for something ridiculous- $80 or so? Says he hasn't used it in ages. I'd pick it up, but don't have the money right now, nor do I need it given that I have the Alpha String Pal. Also, a quick search on C-list turns up a number of Model...

    Whats the deal with Luxilon Strings?

    Scotus is right. If Luxilon, for whatever reason, didn't deliver EXACTLY what the pros want and didn't deliver on results, why would they stick with Lux? Any big or even relatively big company gives full string sponsorships. A top 400 pro, or any pro with a few ATP points, would be able to...
