1 Arian Foster, Hou RB
2 Aaron Rodgers, GB QB
3 Ray Rice, Bal RB
4 LeSean McCoy, Phi RB
5 Tom Brady, NE QB
6 Drew Brees, NO QB
7 Calvin Johnson, Det WR
8 Maurice Jones-Drew, Jac RB
9 Chris Johnson, Ten RB
10 Matthew Stafford, Det QB
11 Larry Fitzgerald, Ari WR
12 Andre Johnson, Hou WR
13 Matt Forte, Chi RB
14 Cam Newton, Car QB

19 Jimmy Graham, NO TE
20 Darren McFadden, Oak

It also has averages and stuff like that. Check the Auction values and Ray Rice is #2. 1 and 2 is clearly Foster and Rodgers in most poeples eyes. Rice is a clear number 3. Most likely you will be picking between, McCoy, Brees, Brady and Megatron.
in a 12 team league Id probably go Brady, and hit hope you get McFadden or Demarco Murray with 2nd pick and AJ Green or Julio Jones with your 3rd pick. Thats right around where the chips should fall.
10 team league I would grab Brees, maybe Gronk is still out there if not stretch and Grab DMC ( I like DMC). And hit up Welker for the 3rd pick if I didnt get Gronk. If I took Gronk then i would be looking at maybe Jennings floting around still or AJ green. But I could also be tempted by Jamal Charles. That would leave the RBs deep if I had Charles and DMC.

I would cringe when I saw a winning player throw their racquet into the crowd.I personally would hold onto every stick until they were so unplayable that even Auzzie wouldn't demo it.

You mean, you would use them until they turned to dust? I think Auzzie would demo a stick made of 90% duct tape.

90% is just about the time the stck gets the right amount of flex. At about 97% its time to find new one.

BTW - Anyone watch the Sharapova match last night?
I was watching while feeding the twins. Who was her opponent and how far down on the rankings was she. Played far back like a clay-courter but the floaty slice backhands she was sending back didn't look convincing.

Some Spanish Woman named Lino. I think I remeber them saying she was like 75 right now maybe top 40 at one point.

Whats the deal with this Tour Bite string you guys mentioned a few pages back? Is it pretty sweet. Somehtign I should be trying out? Are you going full bed of it? Is it pretty soft for a poly? Does it generate mad spin? Does have good pop? Does it stay playble for a while?
Thanks
Thanks

IMHO - It's very stiff. I Had Lux ALu around 57, I had to drop Tourbite to about 50.
It's really good at low tensions. Generates a ton of spin.
I'd play it in a full bed or hybrid with another poly since the square shape will probably cut through gut/synthetic gut/multis pretty quick.
JRs, you think so? Hmmm, I guess since I strung both in the low 50's I didn't see a huge difference. Plus, I also think ALU is a relatively stiff poly too.
I found out that I have the 1st pick in my league. Woot! Looks like it'll be Foster just because he's that much better than the next RB. I like Rodgers a ton too, but small chance I'll take him...Now the 2nd round pick will be the best QB/WR available at 28. That's right - 14 team league - slim pickings at later rounds and waiver wire pickups...
JRstriker12
Hall of Fame
True, I just found tourbite to be even stiffer.
I strung it at the same tension as ALU and lost a lot of pop. I generally didn't string below 55 in my MGPPs but had to drop to around 50 to get that pop back.

what did you buy, Pman1 customizations????
I figured they were giving away BB Londons, so I got one to mess around with...haha
Nah I got the 98 when they had the 40% anniversary discount sale. The only mid I'd be tempted to try would be the pb10...
Been away on vacation, so haven't hit with London 98 yet. Not very flexy though but I knew that. Wanted to check out the deep-pocketing effect that it's known for.

PB10 mid is such an awesome frame. I wish I had asked you to string it up for me when I owned it, because my stringjob made me want to sell the racquet.
Let me know how the London turns out!!
