...you know....SOME of us must really have some kind of 'issues' ...why, you ask ?? Well, I think I've read that page at LEAST 20 times (make it at least 21 now!!)...and it STILL reads GREAT....Hahahaaahah!!! Thanks, Greg !!

 

[Borat]

Exactly, thanks so much. I am just trying to organize this to consolidate pro specs for players who would like to try their favorite pro's customizations.

Greg. with your extensive background i would be very curious as to which rackets you suggest? Id really appreciate some info. i played competitive tennis in college and just finished. I am looking to find some new rackets because i do not like the ones i used in college.

man, that Wilson pro room is cool... I was wondering if anyone knows where some of the other bigger players get their racquts strung??? (Nadal etc)
thanks!!!

Greg,
What grip size is Federer using? It looks like a 3/8 in the pic on your site but I've heard numerous times its closer to a 1/4 or 1/8. Thanks!

These come to mind:

1) Personal racquet technicians
2) Priority One
3) ****
4) Bosworth International
