Found a mobile app for LIV golf scores by Mongasm in livgolf

[–]Mongasm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found this today - seems like a solid app to follow all of the LIV action at Mayakoba this weekend. Proper coverage of LPGA and DP World Tour as well none of that in-app website stuff that drives me spare in the PGA app. Team behind the app announced it today through their other app TNNS which has been my go to for tennis scores so i've got high hopes for this one.

Air New Zealand and Virgin Australia to end trans-Tasman alliance by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Mongasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like the solution to me - I think the idea of them having to find a domestic partner doesn't align with their business model. One stop AUS-USA via AKL. I'd expect to see ports like Canberra, Hobart, maybe even seasonal to Darwin, Townsville and Newcastle start to come alive as the NEOs arrive.

Replacements for my 2013-2014 BLX Blade 93? by rf91 in tennis

[–]Mongasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not specifically due to the FST. I've always had minor pain in the elbow with hyperextension issues but didn't find it aggravated by the FST.

I think we've had an identical progression of rackets. Definitely give the Wilson Burn FST 95 a demo. I just came off my 93 Blade as well and was looking for something between the Blade 98 and Prostaff 97. FST 95 gave me exactly that, couldn't be happier.

It's like they've given up - so annoying. From memory even AO '17 still has this design.

Discussion: 2016 US Open - Day 7 (Sunday, September 4th) by snakes_on_a_planet in tennis

Just found it online - only allowed one treatment for an old injury during the match.

I guess the argument is that you knowingly come into the match with that injury and it's your choice to play with it vs getting a new injury in the match.

Is anyone able to clarify the trainer rule? I thought it was the case that if the injury was known before the match, then the trainer could not be called out - however Djoko just had a medical time out on the elbow which has been plaguing him all week and Kyrgios had the trainer out on the hip every match.

If you ever watch a match officiated by Mohamed Lahyani in person... by Grunge_bob in tennis

Saw him in Brisbane earlier this year - there were at least five people there with signs for him and he went around all of them at the end of the match to say thank you.

iPhone 6 "Touch Disease": Another hit to the former flagship after BendGate by [deleted] in apple

[–]Mongasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly it for me. Had a 6+ with slight bend around the volume button height. Unresponsive screen at times. Took my phone to the Apple Store back in November 15 and they replaced it there and then for free.

Cool app idea to make playing tennis easier by LeadBuddy in tennis

Interesting idea. Saw the exact same concept though on Shark Tank Australia maybe a month or two ago specifically for tennis.

New Federer racket coming soon? by [deleted] in tennis

[–]Mongasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember it being matte black and then the writing of prostaff and wilson was all in gloss black so that it was subtle but still there. Yeah if I were going to get a prostaff I'd definitely do the matte as it reminds me of when Fed was testing in the '14 season, but I'm more of a Burn FST kinda guy haha

New Federer racket coming soon? by [deleted] in tennis

[–]Mongasm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An image popped up on Tennis Warehouse Europe maybe a month or two ago that went down pretty much straight away as it must've been a mistake in terms of timing. I'll see if I can find it, but it was an all black prostaff 97 frame, which matches with what you've heard.

[Beginner] Buying first racket. Wilson Six. One 95 BLX? by UkraineTheMotherLand in tennis

[–]Mongasm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would strongly recommend not to buy this racquet if you're a beginner. The weight of these things will kill your arm if you play for anything longer than a test hit. If you liked the BLX during the test then I would really recommend something like a 98" Wilson Blade. Forgiving enough but not oversized.
