    Debate Topic: Do Cross Strings Actually Experience Lower Tension Than Mains When Set to Equal Tension on a Stringing Machine?

    Agree with this. The marketing promises more than it actually can do but as long as you're aware of exactly what it's measuring, it's useful in limited circumstances. And it's not €249. Back to your point about measuring - aspect ratio can't be the only factor why the mains end up with higher...

    ATP Week of 4/1: Houston, Estoril, Marrakech

    I like Dimi (and rewatched the Brisbane final over Rune for giggles recently) but I still wouldn't bet money on him beating another top 5 player, let alone 2 in a row.

    New Balance MC1007 to feature Fresh Foam X

    Checking back after a few months. I ... like the 1007s now? Or I've aged into them. I started using the 1007s for light practice again and grew to appreciate the cushioning until I wore through the soles. I picked up a pair of 9 D (regular width) 1007s and the toe box fit is spot on (I normally...

    Should be fun, two excitable Americans playing in front of a home crowd. Beats watching one of the top 4 being fed another sacrificial lamb in the finals (looking at you Grigor).

    Debate Topic: Do Cross Strings Actually Experience Lower Tension Than Mains When Set to Equal Tension on a Stringing Machine?

    also, the crosses bend the mains out of place when strung, which increases the tension on the mains in addition to what was initially applied to them. if you're really curious, get your own string tester* and measure the center main before and after stringing the crosses. *yes they're...

    At a match in the UTS Los Angeles event one player was grunting obnoxiously and the crowd joined in during the points, screaming UNNGHHHH with him when he hit the ball. I wish we could do the same with Azarenka. A whole stadium going ahWHOOOOOo in unison ..

    Really?

    Youtube and social media incentivizes people to spout some truly mind boggling stuff for views. Recently saw a video of a woman claiming some folk remedy would regrow rotten/lost teeth ... I had to shut off my monitor and stomp around outside for a few hours to get that out of my brain.
