My Racket, What's Yours??
I am continually interested in tennis rackets, strings and tensions of other players and the reasons why we make these choices.
Michael Tucci commented on Meags's group 'My Racket, What's Yours??'"I play a Yonex RD Ti 80 ....good flex (around 60) and great for topspin groundies. I have six of them, three of the old paint scheme and three of the new. They are all in various states of modifications with varying weights and placements of lead…"

Anyone tried a custom made Vantage ??

I have been using my kps88 for a while now and playing very well. Recently tho with the cold wet weather ive been struggling with the heavy slow balls which makes my racket feel twice as heavy. So ive been looking for something I can mod a little to make a slightly easier playing version of my 88s.
I lke some of the older lighter pro staffs like the classic but i wanted something I wouldnt struggle getting hold of. The problem is… Continue

Throughout the 2 yrs Ive been playing i have continually analysed my progression, fitness and equipment.
As i did with golf when i was younger over a period of 3 yrs I moved from a 9 handicapper to scratch using the same obsessive analysis.
As ive improved (I used to play to a reasonably high level when very young) and got back to some of the consistency of my teens Ive also assessed my… Continue
The most beautiful racket in the world!

Ive been playing with Prince Ozone Tour for the past 3 months and playing some of the most consistent stuff in 2 yrs. My problem with it is I cant serve with it! Maybe its the larger head I dont know, cant hit a hot serve and cant slice out wide. As my serve is my biggest weapon I decided to go look somewhere else and I found the most beautiful racket in the world. The Wilson Pro Staff Tour 90, same mold as the Fed racket, similar spec,… Continue

Dodgy knees and the hardcourt season.

Forget the grass court season August is my favourite time with Montreal, Cincinnatti and the US Open all on the hard courts, great games, great point, just great tennis.
Who are your tri-bet for the series above, who will be number 1 when the US open is done? Will Nadal be back? Will Fed slip on baby sick and sprain his wrist? Will Roddick slip off his wife and sprain his ego (for want of a better word)? Will DP smack his head on the… Continue

- I actually use the China made PT 280 with the 100% graphite construction. Has a crisp feel rather than buttery. So I may like that Bastcore frame! :)

- Thanks Richard for the info on the Vantage frames. Definitely gives me a way out of endlessly searching for the Pro Tour 280. :)

That's great to hear! Congratulations on becoming a father!
I'm glad you're coming back into form at some point here. We seem to have got a good momentum in the Forums! Looking forward to the Aussie!
