    Tecnifibre X-Core

    Someone mentioned this string to me, but I can't seem to find any info on it. It's suppose to be a Multi-filiment with a Poly coating. Suppose to be the next trend in soft co-poly strings. I suspect it's like Ashaway Monogut ZX.

    Sharapova and Bartoli, Same Dress?

    I was watching the Ana Ivankova and Marion Bartoli match and I noticed Bartoli wearing the same dress (outfit) as Maria Sharapova. IMHO, Sharapova looks better in the dress (outfit) than Bertoli.

    Kimony Awls

    Recently I purchased a set of Kimony Awls from GSS. They seem to be the only place that sells these awls in the US. I like them because I've been using the awls that came with my Prince tool set. At first I was a bit apprehensive to buy them at $20 a piece, but when I converted the Japanese...

    Solinco Rackets

    I recently picked up a Wilson Pro Staff 6.1si Stretch for $16 with a Wilson Hyper Carbon 5.3 Premier. It's a 18x20, 95 square inches, though I thought it would longer since it's called a stretch. The Hyper Carbon is actually longer.

    I recently got a few sets of Forten Sweet 17, when I went to string it I noticed it was thicker than the usual 17 gauge. After meausing the string, I got 1.30mm (16 Gauge). I compared it to a set of 16 gauge Sweet, and they seem to be the same. Anyone else notice this?
