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.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
