    Official grimmbomb21 review/search for goat frame! (2012 racquets only!!!)

    I have been playing with the BLX Blade 98 off and on for a year now. I love everything about it, but the wrist pain. It has come to a point that it is better to move on than to play well and not be able to make a fist the next day. So here is my list of demo frames that I am looking at: BLX...

    Question for vsbabolat, dr325i, or racquetcraft.

    Simple question: Is this a PT57E frame? Weight of the hairpin without the grommets is 248g. No silicone in the handle or lead. I don't see any code for tgk or pt anywhere. It does, however, say xl on the throat, but the actual length is 27in. Anyway, if one or all could take a look, I would...

    Eagnas Flex 940 clamp bolt it stripped.

    The bolt that is tightened to secure the clamp in place on my Flex 940 has stripped and I need to replace it. Eagnas wants $25.00 per bolt, so I was wondering if I can get it somewhere else. Has anyone here replaced it? If so, do you remember the exact part # and place you ordered from? I...

    Grommets for Dunlop 4D 200 Tour.

    I can't find these grommets on the website. Do I have to phone order or are they just not available yet? Thanks!:)

    Where have you gone, Dmitry Tursunov?

    One of my favorite players, I can't seem to find anything on his whereabouts. His official site is gone. I haven't seen anything on here about injuries or retirement. Maybe his mission here is over and he returned to the home planet. But if anyone has the scoop, let's hear it! Thanks!:)

    So when did you 4.0's decide it was time to ditch 3.5?

    This is for the guys that made the jump themselves, not the computer bumped folks. What were your results against 3.5s and 4.0s when you moved up? Here is my current breakdown. I have been playing at 3.5 for just over four years.Only played one or two tournaments a year, but I plan on...

    Is a quick second serve legal?

    My friend and I played a tournament last weekend, and we both played two kids from the same high school team. Both of them had week second serves. You could just step in and crush it. But every time they hit a first that didn't clear the net, the second ball was out and on its way before the...

    No love for the 4D 200 Tour?

    It seems to me that only a few people on the boards have given the 200 tour a demo. This racquet is something special! The plow-through on groundstrokes and serves is amazing. I don't have a long swing by any means, but I could still get excellent racquet head speed with this frame on the...

    How should you play someone who just lobs?

    I played a tournament today and had a second round opponent that lobbed every groundstroke. I didn't play well at all, and lost 4 and 4. Even when I hit a short ball to bring him in, his approach was a lob. The last time we played was in the morning during a different tournament. The sun...

    Is it normal for the clamp arms to flex?

    I just got a Flex 940, and after releasing the string from the crank, the clamp arm seems to bend quite a bit. It looks like the clamp moves back about 3/8in. Is that normal?

    Need help with lead placement on a Microgel Prestige Mid+

    I have it leaded up to 12.3oz and 5 points HL. The lead is mainly at 3 and 9 with very little at 12. I like the results with this setup in regards you ground strokes and volleys. I get good kick on my second serve, but my flat serve seems very weak with this racquet. I can serve very fast...

    Crack in my Microgel Prestige MP!

    As the title says. I noticed it just a few minutes ago. It looked like a small crack at 3 o'clock. I took off the grommets, and it looks worse underneath. I bought it about 6 months ago, so am I still under warranty? I contacted ****, which is were I bought it, to see what steps to take...

    Do you think Safin will stick with his 2009 retirement?

    He said last year he would retire at the end of 09. But seeing how his ranking continues to go down, and he admitted he had no interest in hanging around the top 50, will he move up his retirement date? It's painfully obvious he will not win another slam. He probably couldn't win another...

    Question about approach and volley...

    My coach has been running a drill with me where he feeds me a deep forehand groundstroke that I return crosscourt. Then a short forehand, that I return crosscourt. Then a forehand volley, that I go DTL with. Now, if I hit a bad shot on the first ball, we still run the rest of the drill. The...

    Has anyone tried a 1hbh and can't go back to a 2hbh???

    I have. My 2hbh was my most stable shot. But at a lesson one day, my coach asked what I wanted to work on, and I wanted to learn a one hander. Just for the hell of it, I guess. Anyway, he said it looked really good, and I hit it decently for a first go around. But I can't hit one after...

    Do bandana wearers look like posers to you?

    I was thinking of buying one of the Nike bandanas. Not many people wear them where I play, and I don't want people to think I am trying to be Federer or Nadal. However, I do like the way they look. And I think they are better at removing sweat than a headband. Anyway, your thoughts please...:D

    How do you hit different serves with the same toss?

    I am mainly wondering about the slice. I have seen some people toss the ball pretty much in the same spot, but they can hit a slice or kick with it. What is the best location to disguise the serve, but still give the returner a variety of looks?

    ? about the old prestige

    As I said before, I play with a new TW pc600, with lead at 3 and 9. So it is 12.8 ounces strung and 4 points head light. Well, I got one of my three prestige tour racquets strung today and found out afterward that it already wieghed 12.8 and was 11 points head light. It's the one with the...

    Here's the deal....I suck.

    This happens to me every week to a certain extent every week. But last night was the worst ever!!! I'm playing in a doubles league at my club. We are up 7-2, playing a 12 game superset.( league rules) I had lost one point on three service games, and had been returning serves for winners or...

    String setup for PDR+

    I have Luxilon BB power in mains and gut crosses. Way too powerful. I have a long, fast swing. So the ball sails a lot with this setup. I only play with this racquet for fun sometimes, so it is not that big of a deal. But I still want some recommendations please.

    When does it all click????

    This is the most difficult sport ever!! My game seems to be broken up in to two categories. Group A- Serves and volleys. Group B- forehand and backhand. Now, the two must hate eachother, because they refuse to show up on the same night!! All of the sudden my serve started clicking...

    Which racquet is better?

    I have two racquets. A pc600 and a PDR+. I normally use the pc600 because I can hit consistently with it. And place my shots pretty well. Plus, most of my strokes stay pretty flat so it's good for doubles. However, I hit with my PDR+ for fun sometimes, and my hitting partner said the pace...
