Tennisopolis : Tennis Social Network

I have come to realize that I have too many damn racquets!

So my name is William. I go by CoachV or V. I have been playing tennis for 20 years. I am really good player and coach. I started full time teaching back in 2003.  Since then I have been able to get racquet sponsorships first one is with Prokennex, then with Wilson. I have been with wilson for the last 4 years. So i started collecting racquets for give-a-ways to kids as rewards for working hard on the tennis court.....I give them a wooden racquet if they are becoming a tennis player. I resale older racquets like the wilson 6.1 & 6.0 which are top of the line racquets. 

 but my story comes from me growing up poor and in a poor environment.  I didnt get my first set of racquets until i was 19 Years old im 35 now.... or is it this year?  So I vow to help those kids in need buy being able to give them a Racquet that they can play good tennis with. 

Now I have been collecting racquets for a while now. I think I may have too much.....because I have been Stringing racquets for 2 weeks now and I haven't stopped.

So now I am gonna list every single racquet I have here. just to give everyone the feeling of why i dont like stringing racquets.

Ah, 13 oz. Must be pure steak knife to the ball to play with. I read it has good ol' Kevlar in the frame. Sound like a great one!
