3rd official TW Awards!

I thought you and Dedans sent poor ananda to a tawdry Spanish island, so he could attend Carlos Moya's two-handed backhand camp, "SOFT, SHORT, AND LACKING PENETRATION: LEARN TO SWING LIKE CARLOS!" I know ananda always wanted to learn a two-handed backhand, and ILC explained to him that Moya's backhand is the best.

Actually, we decided to send young Ananda to the lesser known, Carlos Moya run around your backhand and leave a ton of court open academy

I thought you were on holiday or something. I shouldn't have mentioned the racquet incident, like feeding you an easy ball.

I told you not to mess with the all knowing all seeing Malakas...or you'll be sorry.....very very sorry

Phew. ILC I was hoping you didn't send her to the Moya Floozie comb my hair academy.

Poor Charlie... no one understands him except maybe Tiger..Wilt Chamberlain... etc...

I'm beginning to understand.

that's what happens,you get drunk => you miss your racquet. tsk tsk

LOL! I'm tearing up over here you two!

X, I got to hit with the older pure drive today in a clinic, and it was like buttah (that's on purpose!) on groundies!

Oh, I'm so confused! I don't really have the money to be buying racquets, either...as it is my shoes are falling apart! I'm almost afraid to demo now because I have a feeling I will really like me some pure drive babolat action!

Not tried any of the Pure Drives but they seem pretty popular (probably because they are quite powerful and not that heavy, the specs say they are really stiff though but they can't be that uncomfortable or they wouldn't be so popular.)

Get some new shoes and a new racquet, just get it all on credit and/or don't pay the rent/mortage. I'm sure it will be fine :-/

I could do with selling one of my racquets so I can get another Speed Pro, don't really want sell any but I'd like two of them so I might have to.

Hehe. Actually ilc packed me of to the cheaper Tommy Robredo Serve Your Way to Victory camp. Occasionally, we get talks on mental toughness by Nic Almagro.

Nice observation, suresh.

How about best Rants & Raves thread (i.e. Homeownership is overrated!)?
Best flame war (i.e. Sampras' Peers >>>> Federer's Peers)?

Most Helpful Thread? Something from the health and fitness or instruction pages? Just by way of example, both Ano and BungaloBill have made contributions in those sections that are of a very high caliber. Ano's posts are, surprise surprise!, well ANNOTATED. BB's posts are the result of years of teaching and thinking about tennis and are usually profoundly helpful.

As an aside, I'm constantly amazed at the questions that keep popping up over and over again in those two sections. Learning is a process...and one for life.

ILC is bursting with pride to see so much of Dedan's wit has been absorbed by young Puglsey

On the way I have the following:

PD
PD lite
APD
nCode Npro Open
Kblade team

I've demoed the kBlade team in the past and want to give it another try. I'm really hoping I love the nCode since it is the cheapest!!! And I'm suddenly tempted by the Babolats! Aiy, aiy, aiy!

Ooh, very nice. I hear (from some of the board here) that the Nblade is supposed to be 'better' than the Kblade, can't remember why but a couple of players at my club use the NBlade and seem to like it a lot. Might be worth looking for one if they are still available.

Most likely you'll find something you like amongst those, I wouldn't be swayed on price though because if you do you might end up having to buy another racquet later on.

I think I've managed to sell one of my racquets (Dunlop AG200) and was going to get another Speed Pro from the guy I got my first one from but he has sold them all now, they were cheap too. Meh, I think I'll use the money for more lessons instead.

I nominate Aykhan Mammadov.

He always has the best advice for any serious tennis player. For example, telling the #1 player in the world to stop "trembling" when he plays Nadal.

Xmas eve, woohoo! i don't want to spend my holidays babysitting, lets keep it on topic, and civil.

Maybe we can make a new year's resolution thread where we all pledge to be nice to each other, and not jerks?

Cheers, it's just a message board. Spend time with your families.

I agree with him Ano. Your one of the few people I will admit know more than me when it comes to the fitness.

And take all the fun out of TW? Isnt acting like a little kid and calling each other names what the holidays are all about?

Yeah, but you must have bawlls of steel to put that in your sig when the chips were down. My sig last year and most of this was something like "still waiting for Federer to win the FO" and it was sort of like a joke but he did.

Well, BOA closed down in my country, so i am not sure whether you are being sarcy or what. Love your jokes, btw.
Looks like everyone else at TT is nursing a hangover ;-)

No doubt about this one. Dedans Penthouse is prob the cleverest poster I have encountered yet on the internets.

Hey, if you think Dedan's is clever, then you ain't nevah heard of Senator Jay Bullworth.

But they are quite different, like apples and oranges really.
