    ASICS Resolution 3! (The most anticipated shoe of all time)

    With a 6 month guarantee, they might make them more durable at the expense of less cushioning. It would be a real winner if they kept the same amount of cushioning and gave a 6 month guarantee. Though the pessimist in me is thinking they would probably have to raise the price of the shoe to...

    How many of the "same" racquets do you have?

    Not as many as Jollyroger, but here's my dozen POGs. I just picked up the 12th one today, maybe from someone on this board. They are all oversize 1987 4 stripes, except 1 that is POG 90, can you guess which is the POG 90?

    Making Defaults More Fair

    I think the problem is that your matches start at 9pm on a weeknight. The captain has no obligation to let you know in advance that they are defaulting a line. I agree with cghipp. The extraneous stuff about driving 1.5 hours, anniversary, nurse that gets up early...sorry they were...

    Luxilon ALU Power Rough, who else doesn't care for this string?

    I believe I have the swing speed for this stuff. All the other polys that I have tried felt fine with my swing speed. For those that have tried both the ALU Power and ALU Power Rough, do they feel the same? If so, I don't think I am going to bother trying the regular ALU Power. I really...

    Any Feedback on the "NEW" Max Touch?

    Interesting...they now say that the new string is a "problem". Probably bad QC from a different factory producing this at a lower cost. I wonder how many reels of the new formulation they've produced? If people know the old stuff will come back, no one will buy the new stuff anymore. I could...

    Luxilon ALU Power Rough, who else doesn't care for this string?

    I finally got around to trying this string, expecting it to blow me away from all the positive feedback. I also have the regular ALU Power (non rough) that I have not yet tried. First thing feeling that I noticed was that the string felt very light in the racquet. I didn't have much power...

    Babolat Addiction 15L (1.35mm) can you get this in the US?

    Anyone know if this is available in the US? Tenniswarehouse Europe stocks this but it's not worth it to order because of the shipping. How come they don't sell this in the US?

    Sign of the Times: Wal-Mart sell Luxilon

    only sold online (though free shipping to your local walmart with site to store even for 1 pack of string where you don't have to spend $75 or more for free shipping), maybe if you get a walmart gift card and don't have anything else to buy, maybe you can return your strings if they suck? ;)

    Any green alternatives to throwing away scrap string?

    would be nice if they could recycle used tennis string like monofilament fishing line: How is monofilament recycled? The monofilament is collected from recycling bins and cleaned of hooks, leaders, weights, and trash by volunteers. It is then shipped to the Berkley Pure Fishing Company in...

    Starting crosses with a starting clamp, ok to remove at end of crosses?

    In yyulittle's video he removes the starting clamp after the top 5 crosses. Other than accidently bumping the starting clamp, is there a problem to leave the starting clamp in until all the crosses are done and the throat knot is tied off, then go back and deal with it?

    Waiting X hours before playing with your new string job.

    Does this settling apply to all types of strings? So you are saying that if you hit with your newly strung racquet too soon (before the initial settling) that it will lose even more tension than had you let it settle? Is this accurate? (numbers are hypothetical) Racquet A, start hitting right...

    Waiting X hours before playing with your new string job.

    I think I read awhile ago, that you shouldn't play with a newly string racquet right away and to leave it for 24 hours after you string it up to play with it. What's the reason for this? Why can't you start playing with it as soon as it comes off the stringer?

    Coming up short on the crosses

    It's a free job for a friend. I will just redo everything. Thanks for your advice guys. I use this same exact length last time, but on a string that stretches more so I didn't have any problems before. Live and learn!

    Coming up short on the crosses

    I do have a starting clamp, but I am 6 inches short to finish the racquet. Meaning I am 6 inches short to finish the last cross (not even enough string to finish the last cross). A starting clamp as a bridge to the tension head won't help me :( Do I need to cut out the mains too and start...

    Coming up short on the crosses

    Doing a 2 piece and I came up about 6 inches short on the crosses. What would you do? 1. Take out the crosses and redo just the crosses. 2. Cut everything out and start over from the mains. Does it put too much stress on the racquet to just redo the crosses, leaving the mains alone? I...

    annoyed, 4.0 team playing 4.5

    You shouldn't have any problems beating them then. Think of it as an easy win. If you don't want to play them, default the match. If you were ever given the opportunity to play up on a team, before you were a 4.5, it's time to pay the piper

    stupid question but

    If you were able to take the string out of a 110, I'm not sure you would have enough string to put into a 95. Maybe if you have an 85? :) Give it a shot and let us know if you have enough string to make the knots :P
