Post Pictures of your Racquets and Tennis Gear

I am not sure why you got so excited about this, and what you tried to say, however, I just stated the obvious -- Some rackets operate on +/-7g and some on +/-10 g margin. Some (Yonex) do not.

Strings -- that was a stupid comment from you, I am sure you realized that, especially when the string weight differences can be 5g from poly to gut...

And no, I do not work in the racket/tennis industry, however, in this case, a 6-year-old could come up with the same conclusion...

I am glad that you can do such fancy comments about your point of view.

It reveals that you're not only a clever brain but also someone that can read out all the inlines, and allways be accurate.

Have you ever tryied to be a minister or president of your country?

I am sure that with your nice comments all your cleverness you can get there!

Again, you're right! Congrats. :)

they are obviously not the most forgiving racquets as you know, but i have always preferred the stiffness of them.

i demo racquets from time to time, but i have yet to find something for me to switch to.

I like this picture! My wife looked over as I was viewing it and rolled her eyes and said, "You and that tennis site...". That made me laugh. Also, I see you have a Stieg Larsson book in the corner, those books are awesome!

Hi Zapfor,

Yeah, I know... it's the frame nobody remembers. The most overlooked frame of the whole LM line, I think because because the low (10.5 oz stock) weight puts it into the tweener bucket. I took a demo just on a whim and found it amazingly stable with out any lead at all, then a light bulb turned on in my head... it just needs a whole lot more weight in the handle, and a few strips at 3:00 & 9:00. With the mods I've made they are really special. There is a very early Ti Fire Pro Edition, that was 98 in, and 12oz. I think they should have kept going in that direction.

I have a LM Fire! One of my first rackets ever. It is a pretty solid racket, even though it's a bit light in stock form. Played great with it when I was 13-14, but haven't picked it up in a long while. Maybe I'll try your mod. And man, it's a good looking paint job. You've inspired me to go dig it up and give it a hit again.

I played with the Ti. Heat, it was the first "performance" racquet ever for me.

Eventually I moved onto the Mid racquets and the rest is history.

I will say this, somewhere along my timeline from the Ti. Heat to the BLX90 that I'm rocking now. I stumbled across a wonderful creation called the "Ti. Fire PRO Edition", really really REALLY special frame.

Cool cool, yeah the paint job is amazing on the LM fire. The black is super deep and super glossy. Kind of like a Lexus looks the first year. In stock form its even balanced, 10.5 oz, and 27.3 inches long. So there is plenty of room to add a whole gob (technical term) of lead to the handle to get the HL that you want and still keep it under 12 oz or so. I went all the way to 13.3 oz because I added another .7 inches to the length as well, ( a 1/4" at a time over the course of a few years) which requires a bit more weight in the handle to keep me in the golden zone balance wise. At 28" it is a real service weapon for me. The published head size at 102 is actually more like a 99, Head measures their specs from the outside of the frame.

Hi Say Chi Sin Lo,

Yes! that was the version that was 98 and 12.oz. I seem to recall breakpoint said he played with that one for a long time too. They should have spun off their versions from that design. Instead, they split off the heavy & stiff sticks into the extreme series, and the light & stiff frames into the LM Fire- > Heat-> Mojo. The bare bones on the Fire is really good. Its just balanced wrong in stock form.

Head really needs to stop advertising their midpluses as "98" when they're really 95, and their mids as "93" when they're really ~89.

The Ti. Fire Pro was no different, it played more like a 95 instead of the advertised 98.

good info. by the way where did breakpoint go
 
^^^^ I don't know, it's curious to me as well. I took a break from the board for a 3-4 years, came back last summer and he's noticeably absent.
 
Got me a new racket that I had to show off.

Head Youtek IG Prestige Pro. Strung up with red X-1 Biphase, Wilson pro overgrip, and of course the UGA dampener to top it off.

Hope it plays as good as it looks!
