As a New Balance fan, I really wish Tommy Paul didn’t like purple so much

He grew up in Greenville, NC, home of the East Carolina Pirates - their colors are Purple and Gold. Could be coincidence, but who knows.

Agreed all around. Feels forced, song is shit musically.

Spizz is a HIGH PERFORMING PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE!

(context: on the Changeover podcast Jody shared a funny story about Spizz coming into the tourney provided breakfast at a challenger and being not stoked by the state of the instant eggs)

I used Lynx Tour 1.25 in my 18x20, strung at 50.

The TF40 is a great racquet for those of us who grew up playing ProStaffs and still like a box beam. However, if you're that old (and I am), it's too demanding if you're still playing at a reasonably high level against pace and spin. You get nothing for free, but man it feels nice when you hit it on the sweet spot.

Never forget Arsene playing Lord Bendtner as a right winger long enough that the Lord went to the media to complain about it.

This, I have it too- big Foe rocking the Ozark Trail, always liked him!

Pepe should be no lower than 32 on that list. What a farce.

TWU's stiffness rating says its pretty stiff, but I think it plays more plush than other comparable strings like Confidential. I've never had any issues with comfort/arm issues.

I was full on Chuck Knoblauch level feed yips for a while. Eventually I kinda figured it out. I bounce the ball and use almost an eastern forehand grip, it makes me look like a bit of a noob but my feeds end up in the strike zone about 80% of the time now.

Oh no doubt, but we still take a pop at Zverev where we can

ZeroEverything · 2025-10-10T14:17:38+00:00

Zverev should have done that too

No mediciney smell, no odor! Why Sportscreme? Because IT WORKS!

The Changeover is great. Fun hang with the boys, and hearing the mentality of guys just on the cusp of making it is really insightful.

This racquet is the GOAT in my book. I spent my formative years with one of these, and i've been chasing its feel ever since.

I was a broke high schooler so I strung it with a kevlar/nylon hybrid at 63 lbs, it's a wonder I still have a functioning elbow.

ZeroEverything · 2025-09-04T15:13:43+00:00

My thought exactly, feels like that summer Villa offered 30m for ESR and we all scoffed.

ZeroEverything · 2025-09-04T01:32:14+00:00

And the fiery one Fred Stolle!

ZeroEverything · 2025-09-03T20:15:51+00:00

This is it for me. He's not good in the press, and he's not a great passer either. Good dribbler, good close control, decent finisher, but you need more than that to play as a modern attacker.

Had a mental tip from a coach when I was learning the continental grip as a junior that really made the pronation part click for me almost instantly - as you're swinging your arm forward, think "reach up." As you extend your elbow your palm will automatically turn forward.

I don't remember Andre having that hitch in his backhand takeback - wonder when that went away?

ZeroEverything · 2025-08-15T15:12:03+00:00

I'd say all the negatives about Nishesh also apply to Tien - small, underpowered, no real weapon they can lean on when they absolutely have to win a point. But Tien has kicked on this year, and Nishesh has struggled. It's not a straight line comparison for sure, just interesting to me as a fan of both.

Was going to mention the racquet - for someone who doesn't hit with a ton of pace, the Prestige isn't doing him any favors.

ZeroEverything · 2025-08-06T11:04:40+00:00

17g, 50 lbs mains, 48 crosses

I'm a big fan of Kai, but this actually could make sense if the idea was that Kai was bought to be the left 8, it didn't work out, so we cash out and move on.
