    String bed sound and tension

    I have two racquets I just had strung, both at the same tension. However, when I slap my palm against the string bed of each, the ping sounds are different pitches. Does this mean the tension is off between the two frames? Could anything else account for this variance? I’ll know for sure this...

    that thin clear tape under the grip on Babolats

    So when you remove the factory grip on Babolat racquets, there's a thin clear tape around the pallet. What's the point of that? I always remove it when replacing the grip. That's the correct thing to do, right? The last non-Babolat frame I had was a Head and I don't remember it being on...

    So this Babolat lead tape that's supposed to be twice as heavy as the Gamma lead tape... http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Babolat_Lead_Weight_Tape/descpageBAB-BLT.html Is it twice as thick as the Gamma lead tape? Does it bend as easily?

    How often should I replace a leather grip?

    My racquets have had the same leather grips for the last year. They're a little worn and sweaty but they feel fine with a fresh overgrip. I'm getting new racquets in the spring. Should I bother replacing the grips on my current ones? It's an issue for me because replacing a grip is...

    who makes a striped crew sock?

    I'm looking for a one or two striped crew sock, preferably thick and cushy, to changeup from my boring plain white socks. I know Lacoste makes some. Does anyone know if those thick? My guess is no. Any suggestions appreciated.

    I just saw Victoria Azarenka on the street!

    I work in DC and was walking by the WTT venue on 11th St and there she was, on the sidewalk, checking her phone! At first I thought, "that girl looks just like Victoria Azarenka" then I realized "that's because she is Victoria Azarenka!" I should have asked her to take a picture with me...

    has anyone ever removed a grip and reapplied it?

    I'm talking about a leather grip that isn't worn out. I'm just adding some lead underneath and hoping to slap the grip back on. That shouldn't cause a problem, right?

    Yet another lead tape question...

    So I’m getting ready to add a little weight to my handle. I’m thinking two 5-inch strips of lead tape under the grip. My question is what bevels should I stick them on? I’m thinking 1 and 5. Or would it be better to go with 3 and 7? Or does it make no difference. Any feedback would be much...

    The worst thing about Tourna Grip is...

    It's doesn't come pre cut with a sticky tab on the end. Do any of you guys have any tips for applying it on court in a hurry? Without having to break out the scissors and a piece of tape?

    For those of you who own Pure Drive GT's...

    How is Babolat’s quality control these days? Are your racquets pretty close to the advertized specs? If you own more than one, do they feel closely matched? I don’t think Babolat’s QC was ever really that bad but I’ve always heard stories. Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks.
