    The Max 200g "could" become my racquet of choice

    Great thread. I feel that way about the Head Composite Edge. So much so that I have accumulated 5 of them and use them in practice and occasional games. For me the issue is grommets. I am super careful stringing them.

    Sunglasses

    I hit up Shady Ray's when they have a sale. Usually 2 for 1 which works out to $20 something a piece. Small investment so if the break no worries

    Just diagnosed with an eye stroke...anyone ever had one?

    weird deal... I went outside and felt pain in my left eye. I looked in the mirror and my left pupil was dilated and my rt normal. I knew immediately that there was something seriously wrong. I had my wife drive me to the ER and called my eye dr on the way. At the ER they did an EKG and 2 CT...

    Just diagnosed with an eye stroke...anyone ever had one?

    No real damage to my vision thank God and eye Dr says it should go away in 6 weeks or so. So far I have had. a Brain CT with and without contrast, cardiology work up, probably a MRI of the brain ( the CT doesn't see the stem area) Heading to my GP tomorrow. Scary stuff here.

    My opponent was wearing crocs for our match...

    Years ago when i was young and poor i had worn completely through my Stan Smith's ( gives you some idea how long ago this was) in the middle of a doubles match. I ended up taking them off and finishing the match in my socks. Stan's back then were like $20 bucks. I ended up putting a...

    Do people over-estimate their ability when selecting rackets?

    I started playing back in the wooden racquet days. Small head heavy racquets. We all seemed to get along fine.

    Line squeezing seems to be a real problem, I probably shouldn't be surprised.

    When I was in my early twenties way back in the early 70's I entered a futures tournament in Martinique. The 3rd or 4th round my opponent was this French dude who called anything within a foot of the line out. At one point even the local spectators were cat calling him and I doubt they had ever...

    What are the best contact lenses for tennis?

    Funny you should say this... Playing tennis no issues but in the winter I ski 3 months. If I am skiing a steep technical run I tend not to blink and my dailes will start to stick. I need to remind myself to blink as I am going down the hill. My suggestion... switch to dalies and blink

    What was your worst (vintage) racket?

    My worst was the Prince Woody. Pretty sure it came pre warped. As a kid I was given a few T2000's by the local distributor and really came to like that racquet. The first few weeks I was spraying balls everywhere.A complete nightmare to string though A few posts here about the Head Edge series...
