I thought he had Cyclone in the racquet that he was complaining about earlier. I think J finally snapped it (in a fit of rage I hope).

Loving this now.
This string encourages me to hit the ball as hard as I could and the ball would stay in most of the time. I agree with Jolly, this string is AMAZING. The control is so predictable. You can even hit touch shots like dropshots with ease. Spin the ball wherever you want to. Slice has so much spin. Volleys feel crisp and firm. The explosive sound on flat hit shots like smash and serve is satisfying (Maybe that's because of my heavy racquet too). My hitting partner was at the net and he had trouble volleying my fast dipping top spin forehand landing on his feet.

Are you injured and not playing for a while? I’m going to be in Franklin next month and just checking to see if you can hit.

First time but my sports medicine physician is a great guy and very trustworthy. So far, so good but it’s early on in the process. Ask me again a month from now!! [emoji6]

OK. Will do. I had looked into this last year. That is why I am asking and curious if the results are worth it. I have been doing the HA injections for years now.

Yes, I’ve done twice annual HA for several years with good results. I have both clinical and radiographic evidence of progression of my OA si trying to be proactive! [emoji108]

I know it says to string it around 44, and I would. It won't last too long for you (I don't think). It had decent feel, soft on the arm, moderate spin for what it is - I didn't find it as anything special

Tension too low perhaps?

Did it feel dead? Or did it spray the ball all over the place?

The guys I string it for always ask for 52lbs in Clash 100 Tour with the Lux smart string if that helps. Decent players with moderate spin

Okay thanks I heard they are both really low powered which I prefer. Now I just need to find out where I can purchase the grey Fire.
TW carries the black but not the grey.

I think once I use up all my bbo I will use fat boi ALU for matches and all this various crap I have for teaching and training.

@J011yroger you don’t by any chance still have the Head butt caps do you? Are you an L4? If so, I can send you some Wilson butt caps to swap.
J011yroger

Nah, the guy who does my racquets keeps them, I use 5 buttcaps but the pallets are Wilson shape between 4&5.
