Swingweight
~noun
1. Scale used to show your TTW peers how much of a bad4ss tennis players you're making them believe you can generate more racquet headspeed than Thor himself. It's well documented over threads discussing SW that "the more the merrier!". This is, in many ways, similar to men bragging about how much HP their car engine produces.
The output on both cases is something hitting a fence.
j011y Rig
~noun
1. Hybrid string-job between Kevlar and Luxilon Alu popularized by the user j011y.
Legend has it that he goes through one of these string-jobs under 30 minutes.

Weak era
- also known as Roger Federer era with 7 Wimbledons to prove
- also known as Rafael Nadal era with 8 Roland Garros to prove
Strong era
- also known as Pete Sampras era with 7 Wimbledons to prove
Strongest era
- is when Philippoussis, Krickstein, Nalbandian, Davydenko et al had to face the stiffest competition of all time thus no slams! How could they?:wink:

Getting StrongRuled...that’s when you become convinced the overwhelming favorite for a slam title he’s already won 13 times is a persecuted underdog having to overcome every obstacle the tournament organizers can possibly fabricate.
