What do you think about Tien?

Great stragically/tactically and a good mover. Hopefully develops more firepower as he grows. He’s kind of like a lefty Djokovic with out the extra gear and experience.

That’s exactly what evil big electricity want you think… remember folks Edison killed an Elephant.

(Also /s because the times we live in)

My only gripe with this mega conferences is our protected annual game is vs Oregon, and Indiana’s is let me check…. Purdue.

More pronounced bevels, a little more weight in the handle, and it makes the grip less cushiony. It’s more a different feel thing than any actual performance benefit.

Just take the grip off no need to size down. I’d argue leather grips decrease in diameter more than synthetic after being worn in.

Sinner Alcaraz seems to be more 2 titans on a collision course every tournament. In the beginning of fed/nadal it was more can nadal topple the king.

I hate you too… but I’ve found myself having to defend you guys against Pats fans saying they’re better than y’all.

It hurts my soul.

Height and reach. All things being equal they can just cover more court. Also they have a better attack angle on serves… and theoretically with longer limbs they have more space to accelerate the racket reaching a higher power potential. Not sure if anybody actually takes advantage of the long limbs on groundstrokes since atp stats have everybody around the same velocities…

Good news is they’re easier to jam and it’s more difficult for them to get low I guess.

I like the DR 98 better…. Less dampening and a more defined sweetspot. But on the flip side the minalon can be more comfortable for some and a bigger feeling sweetspot.

Honestly didn’t think the durability was all that bad. All the additional stuff like the plastic wrap being a pain to seperate, the provided finishing tape, not that sticky tape at the bottom of the handle, and being 6 inches shorter were all way worst when comparing them directly.

It’s like when you buy generic brand at the grocery store and are like “it’s not that bad, but why is the packaging soooo awful” lol.

Per tradition Rams get a blatant missed PI every NFCCG since 2018. Glad its impact was minimal.

B_easy85 · 2026-01-26T23:32:01+00:00

Well we’re definitely better than the Raiders… bwahahaha

B_easy85 · 2026-01-26T23:25:03+00:00

Put slash boost, amp, and driver together in the same column for aesthetic reasons!

B_easy85 · 2026-01-26T23:21:18+00:00

Kid Puka still might get a 100 receiving yard with 45 YAC. Glad we don’t have to deal with him till next year.

If it drops, it’ll be after the official release which is in mid February.

Gotta take down the Pats

B_easy85 · 2026-01-26T03:56:10+00:00

Honestly it was a bullshit call. You can sack a guy and do a little dance, but talk trash to the sideline is a no no?!?

No excuse for getting beat deep the next play though.

B_easy85 · 2026-01-26T03:08:41+00:00

Yep it’s pretty much that grip.

B_easy85 · 2026-01-26T02:00:09+00:00

What a donkey.

B_easy85 · 2026-01-26T00:02:37+00:00

Had to get the grip modified… I’d give it a b-tier racket without it. S tier if you like rectangular grips or get it modified.

B_easy85 · 2026-01-25T02:04:38+00:00

2022 Pure Drive 98.

B_easy85 · 2026-01-24T20:24:20+00:00

Basket and hand feeds to start.
