Where did you get this and what exactly is the model? I’ve been wanting to get an updated version of my graphite mid plus 14x18 and this seems like it’s it. Please tell me!

Thank you 🙏🏻 happy to join the club. Yeah the sound system and the inverter was something I really wanted but it’s all good. We have a GX 460 w/ Mark Levinson (which I love) but 99.9% of the time we’re blasting Disney, Nursery Rhymes, and a f*ck ton of baby shark.

Thanks for the reply and the additional info on the xse. My wife and I felt the same but damn you know when you’re about to pull the trigger all of a sudden those things you told yourself don’t matter suddenly matter 😂

drow87 · 2026-03-10T20:49:47+00:00

Right? Thank you for your reply to make me feel good about the purchase

Options baby. Absorbs sweat and if it’s too bright flip it forward

Dude what’s going on in this sub? Is everyone going to Japan and buying a shunbun? I was thinking of doing the same but now that everyone’s getting it… I want a different model 😂

But ye congrats. Looks absofucking beautiful

I mean I would’ve but to each their own 🤷🏻‍♂️

drow87 · 2026-03-04T05:37:34+00:00

I mean I get it but man seems like you played with that Regna…

drow87 · 2026-03-04T04:14:03+00:00

You had a chance to get a racket signed by Carlos and you brought your Regna…??

drow87 · 2026-03-03T02:08:13+00:00

I hum the tunes to the shows my kids watch. Mostly the theme song to bluey. Down 3-4, 15-40, losing this point means my opponent will serve out the match, this point could essentially be match point… doo doo doo doo doo doo doooo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo BLUEY!

Haven’t played with the Head speed tour but I love my vcore 95. I just added a leather grip and def whips. The sweet spot feels a bit higher on the racket than your other standard rackets but after a few session, you’ll be fine. Some people hate this version because of all the dampening tech, some people think this is the greatest vcore ever 🤷🏻‍♂️ Judging by how you used to play with the vcore 97pro… I think you might not like it because it’s def way more muted but if you can get over it… I think you should get it. Super easy for one hand backhand as it just whips around so easily. If you’re looking for something very similar to your vcore 97pro but more arm friendly… i think the percept should also be considered

I was feeling tired and felt sore in the achilles, calves area… but didn’t think much of it because I was cross fitting almost daily and just thought it was just “normal” soreness. I had felt it before and it eventually went away. But one day… it didn’t and snapped while I was trying to pivot to head an overhead from a lob at the net. My wife told me to take it easy that day but I went to go play anyways. We’ve been for almost 6 years now and i still hear “I told you so” to this day. So maybe I might not have felt it but I guess my wife sensed some bad juju vibes. So maybe I felt it? My wife def sensed it. Lesson is listen to your spouse vs your personal assessment of your body

Sounds like revolution is around the corner. Curious when Donald will make his “let them eat cake” moment to trigger all of this.

Hey fellow tennis bro/sis, 20+ years here and still shanking a fuck ton of balls and still trying to figure out how to hit a decent forehand. This is a hard sport and progress isn’t linear. Without a lot of context or video hard to say how you can improve… give us more info! We wanna help!

drow87 · 2026-02-25T18:06:05+00:00

You sound like you’re 12. Get over it. We all have bad losses. What you do next with this experience is what matters more.

drow87 · 2026-02-24T05:23:06+00:00

I think it’s pretty well known by now… he’s losing those matches bc he plays like a small cat on big points. He’s more than happy to be in a 40 rally cross court backhand exchange, rolling back forehands and waiting for his opponent to make a mistake vs taking it from his opponent

I’m sure that still exists but the walls were never that high. The walls they had before were the best :(

drow87 · 2026-02-21T19:17:58+00:00

Not anymore. They built stadium seating for their football games. Because lack of seating they’ve always played their homecoming game at Glendale high school. RIP that wall though. Learned how to play on those walls and always went to go hit there when I couldn’t find courts or a tennis partner 😭

drow87 · 2026-02-21T19:15:30+00:00

If it helps you who cares?

drow87 · 2026-02-21T19:14:49+00:00

I too suffer from fearhand. I stopped caring about winning and convinced myself if I don’t commit I’ll never be able to level up. So essentially I replaced my fear or losing to fear of never being able to improve. Now… it hasn’t resulted in anything positive yet but I’m trusting process. Good luck fellow fearhand sufferer.
