what kind of racquet do you hit with? I have two Head (I hear Beavis and Butthead snickering) racquets that I hit with and really like. I have seen a lot of folks hitting with Babalots and heard good about them. Anyone hit with a Babalot racquet? If so, what is so good about it?

i was actually an amateur tennis player and had all my gear provided for by nike when i was like 13. This isn't as big an accomplishment as it might sound, since they sponsor pretty much every single top junior per region.

I use a Dunlop 200g which are only sold on ebay and are kinda expensive. when i was playing nike would buy them for me and paint them nike colors.

anyway what kind of player are you, what is your game, what is your skill, etc and i can answer this

I started playing about a year and a half ago to get more exercise outside of the gym. My co-worker and I play about 3 - 4 nights a week. He was at one time semi-pro and has played/coached for many years, so I have learned a lot in that time. I do not know how to answer what my game or skill is but if I had to I would say that I may be a little above average. I still tend to hit over the ball quite a bit (I break a shitload of strings) but am getting better at hitting the corners and controlling the ball. I am playing around with the tension of the strings, I seem to be more comfortable with a looser strung racquet, but then again I played tonight with tightly strung racquet and was hitting better than usual - so I dunno.

I live in Mooresville.

well if you can make it into charlotte go to Don's

he's one little guy and he's been there for thirty years. the best way to get a racquet is to try them out. they cost like a dollar a day to rent. hit a bucket of serves and a machine full of ground strokes.

or just go to to a pga superstore or whatever the only way to choose a racquet is to hit with it.

I'll have to do that. Thanks.

Babolat makes a good racquet. I hit with a Wilson (older model Federer used) but that is my personal preference because I love the heavy weight and feel of it. I get my racquets from a tennis pro in Concord because I can try them out for free and pay 1/4 the price of a new one.

      RODS gotta GO

      I wouldn't be mad if we were losing by 1 or 2 and the games were hard hitting tightly contested games. I'd be frustrated and upset about losing,but I wouldn't be mad.    Right now I'm pissed, Rod's decision making, his system of play, the consistent bad results in the conference finals. Then the team comes out at home and gets plastered 10-2 in the first two games... Yeah I'm mad at the results on the ice

      Man it’s not even about losing to the Panthers again, it’s how they are losing that makes me think a coaching change is needed. Florida is physical, got into the player’s heads, and it’s the coach’s job to get his players ready to play. Brindamour has failed miserably in the Conference Championship 3 times now. The Hurricanes look like they don’t even belong in the playoffs let alone in the conference championship game. If these games were close like in 2023 we’d be frustrated but not embarrassed and that’s the difference in a coach keeping or losing their job.
