    4.3 Lacing FAIL

    Two of the lace loops broke through on my right shoe, as well as the laces cutting far into the top most loops on my left shoe. I may have to go from a 12 to 11.5 so I don't lace so tight, which is strange as I have worn 12s since the 1.3s.

    New (old) gamma machine, need guidence on replacing/upgrading parts

    My coach graciously gifted me his old Gamma Progression 600 FC-E. Knowing the state it is in, I figured it would be a great summer project and would benefit the team from restoring/upgrading it. From what I can tell, I will need: 1 L frame support 1 set of Mounting System Protect Pads 1 set...

    Are stringing fees too cheap?

    Just curious what you would value labor at for a college student at a top 10 NAIA school with approx. 2k racquets experience. I charged 10 a frame back when I started. Do you think this added experience justifies a increase in what I charge for labor?

    Switching from full gut to full poly. Help!

    I'll second this. I currently play with a hybrid of PSE and Syn in my main stick. Does not aggravate my TE at all and there are no performance drop offs(for myself).

    Chances of being seen by a college mainly through highschool and not USTA?

    I was contacted by a few college coaches off of some recruiting website despite never playing usta. They asked for a video of me hitting and evaluated from there. I currently play NAIA on scholarship.

    Longest Lasting Non-Gut Control...

    Rip Control has been the only string I have broken during a match, during warm up no less. Made be bust out the prestige as I got comfortable carrying one serious racquet and a few racquets specifically for messing around as Rip refused to break. OP give it a try.

    Best tablet for the value...

    I believe the main issue that will arise for the speculated iPad mini will be the price point. Current iOS users will purchase it but with the cost of an iPod Touch already $100 more than the entry levels of the Fire HD and Nexus 7, the current flagships for Android, I have no clue how they will...

    Credit Card Glue

    I tried Model Magic on an APDC. Not bad for adding 15 grams easily. Came premeasured. By wrapping it in something you could make it easily removable.
