nice. i should play with my donnays some more
The bag is actually nicer than I thought. The materials are nice and the size is great because it isn't too big or too small. If I have to list a con, I would say that it doesn't keep shape quite as well as the Aero 12 pack bag that I previously used. The sides collapse after you use it with the backpack straps. There also isn't a thermal pocket, which isn't a huge deal but seems to be a standard feature for a top of the line bag from a manufacturer. Overall, very happy with it so far.
Your leather grips are installed in kind of a weird way. Interested to hear what benefit you get from 'em.
Interesting Setup. How did you raise the butt up? How much weight did it add?
Finally got round to collecting all the sticks & shoes together. Some of these frames will be up for sale soon, UK only I'm afraid. Details to come soon.[/URL][/IMG]![]()
Holy cow. Those Slazenger Pro Braided Trinity frames and Barricade IIs. A Henman fan's dream come true.
The Slazengers are lovely sticks! Very similar to the Pro Staff Classic but lighter & bit more flexible, suited my game perfect. The Barricade II's are my favourite pair of shoes, so comfy. As for Henman, not a fan as such as i met him a few times when they used to hold the UK National Championships at Telford near to where I live and I used to take the week off from my normal job to work at the tournament. Got to meet a lot of the British players from the 90's, early 2000's. Rusedski was the best as he had so much time for everyone, all fans, the kids etc. We had to tell him to get off the court as the next match wanted to start but he wouldn't go until every last kid had gotten an autograph. Lovely bloke. Henman, not so much.

I have a friend who knows Rosol quite well and so he got into the VIP area of the Davis Cup final. The first thing he said when he came back: "Berdych is the biggest ***hole I have ever met".

I can understand why that would sour your opinion of Tiger Tim. I've always been a fan myself, and loved his classic Adidas lines, including the Barricade IIs.
Cheers.
Looks like exquisite work. These kinds of services are in demand at tennis academies.
what is that white one?
Interesting that you didn't think you had enough control with the YouTek MP, I thought that was very low powered. With that said, my opinions are just my own, and what's really important is that you have fun with your new racquet!
Very nice pictures, seems like an excellent camera you have and the resolution maintained well thru the resize.I thought I would share my humble collection. I'm getting rid of it all soon, if I can decide on a new racket, so I thought I would share. The ProKennex has been my main stick, but it's not doing it for me any more, it's a 105 head, which is way to big for me now that my stroke has improved. I've been hitting with the 90 and enjoying it, but I want to try the new Pro Staff 95 and 6.1, and maybe the Steam 99...
Two of those things are rarities, or relics if you like

I mean i had control, but i need more, . The youtek mp was a great racquet for me.
It's a Nassau 'Target', whatever that is. It's a Korean sports company, but I haven't found anything online about this racket. I bought it for a couple dollars on a Korean craigslist type website, I liked the white aesthetics. I think it's modeled on an old pro staff, I know it was made in the 80's. It's heavy with good plow.
I bet you're the most interesting tennis player in the world!![]()
Most "interesting," doubtful... perhaps most eccentric. When I show up to league matches with my gear and retro apparel the most common question I get is, "So, where's the time machine?" Then I pull out the white Wilson tennis balls and things get really weird...

You wear pajamas and smoke a pipe all the time right Sir? :mrgreen:

Bonjour Richard! Comment ca va? That's the limit of my French I'm sorry. Great pic.
Hey bubuly! Looks like you carry some Microgel Extreme Pro's in the bag just in case haha. When was the last time you hit with them?![]()
Looking forward to your thoughts after you've had a chance to play with the new Pro One.
