just crazy. I was getting killed today by a fellow who has great control, no power but is very crafty...sort of older guy. I am 37 so he is about 50. Anyway, he is a great player...I can be at times but am not as consistant...OK. I am playing with my speedport tour and really struggling with groundies and volleys. I have been playing inside all winter so outside is a total different ballgame I now realize. Anyway, I decide for the heck of it to reach in my back and pull out my old noodle...Max 200G. Thing is about 13 0z and has a head the size of a pea. I played way way better. Serve not as hard but placing it right where I want to place it. Groundies got better even theough the stick was much heavier to swing. Not as many mishits....Makes me wonder if I don't need something with a bit smaller head for my serve and volley game. I realize I probably don't but it still seems nuts that I would play much better with this old battle ax. Anyone else ever had that happen...thought I would post it just for fun.
Also, I really did like the flex of that old stick. I could not play with it for a bunch of sets probably but for a couple, it completely made me conentrate more on my shots I think and slowed my swing down to make me prepare more.
