New Racquets, Shoes & Bags arrive Friday - LOVE the weather!!!

We are seeing WAY too many racquets that have done their job for you - but are trashed - why? When your racquet has no bumper guard and the frame is worn down to well, nothing...it's time. There are many nice frames that do NOT break the bank. If you really ARE a Hardcore Tennis Player, then your equipment is 'darn' important...(this is public so i didn't use the words i wanted to)

New Frames, Shoes and Bags are here Friday...

Men - YONEX Power Cushion 308

(What people say about them)

Comments: I certainly did not buy this shoe because of the color or "look" but I consistently receive compliments for both. What is important to me is the fit and cushioning. This sneaker is the best I have used (and trust me, I have tried just about every brand of sneaker). I am a singles player and these sneakers provide the support and comfort I need for the type of movement required in singles. Great sneak!

Donnay - Hardcore Tennis's lastest Racquet Addition

	MIRACLES HAPPEN WITH TECHNOLOGY NEW YORK, February 2, 2012 - A switch to a Donnay is the gear part of the story behind Bethanie Mattek-Sands’ dramatic comeback at the Australian Open, just six months after verging on retirement from a bad shoulder injury caused by playing with hollow racquets. Bethanie Mattek-Sands says it was a combination of the “right rehab and the perfect racquet, my new Donnay Formula,” that helped propel the recently shoulder-beleaguered American to her first career Grand Slam title recently, the mixed doubles championship at the 2012 Australian Open with partner Horia Tecau of Romania. Her Australian Open triumph came just six months after an MRI revealed a severe 15-millimeter tear in her rotator cuff that forced her to withdraw from all but one event in the second half of the 2011 season. Ironically, the injury occurred when she was having her best season in her 11-year WTA Tour career. She barely even practiced in September and October of last year. "The keys to my comeback performance in Australia were aggressive rehab and hard work, including doing my research last fall for a racquet that would help my ailing shoulder." Beginning last November, Mattek-Sands tried out some 50 racquets offered to her by four different manufacturers in hopes of easing the pain in her shoulder that at one point "was so bad I couldn’t wash my face with my right hand." "I had heard the Donnay racquets were easier on the shoulder and quickly became a believer the first time I hit with the Formula," she said. "With the other frames, I’d hit a couple of strokes and I…I just couldn’t do it…it was like the shock went straight up the shaft and into my shoulder." "So I kept going back to the Donnay, and slowly and gradually, I increased my speed and power. At the end of last year I was able to hit 115-mile-an-hour serves and felt nothing in my shoulder, so along with a lot of rehab, that was a big win. The Aussie Open title confirmed I made the right decision." "Miracles happen with technology and the Donnay racquet line was developed two years ago to cure the tennis elbow plague that has claimed half a billion injuries to tennis players over the past three decades," said Jerry Choe, Donnay President. "Their multi-solid-core frames and patent-pending XēneCore™ technology answers the safety deficiencies of hollow rackets that have dominated the tennis industry for three decades." "Conventional hollow racquets are air-injected tubes that cause shock and vibration on ball contact to go right up into the arm," Choe added. "Hollow racquets have always been dangerous and unsafe. It’s time the public learned about the damage that racquet shock can do." About half of all recreational tennis players will be stricken with tennis elbow at some point in their playing life, according to the International Tennis Federation. "We’re overjoyed for Bethanie’s success and she can be a great a Donnay brand ambassador," added Bobby Choe, CEO of the New York-based international brand. Mattek-Sands is known for her dramatic flair in her choice of on-court apparel that’s earned her the nickname of "the Lady Gaga of Tennis," and her gutsy coming-through-in-the-clutch play. She made history in the semifinal round of the 2010 Fed Cup against Russia where she became the first woman to win consecutive live matches in a Fed Cup tie and move team USA to the final.

Marietta Customers Speakin Out...

Eric,

I had to fill in for a match last night. Went ahead and had a bat restrung with Dunlop Hexy Fiber 16g at 58lbs(cheapest they had). It felt pretty good at that tension. I miss the spin from tour bite though. Arm is doing better, but I have reduced my schedule greatly for the next month or so. I was thinking that natty gut should feel a good bit softer than the Dunlop string and guess that natty gut at 58lbs would feel good and not be to mushy for my taste. Hopefully the gut has more spin potential than the Dunlop. I only hit at about 50%. Volleys and overheads felt good, but ground strokes had a lot less spin than usual.

What are your thoughts on gut? I have never used it before. Think 58lbs sounds about right? If you think it's good, i'll get both strung with gut. If you have different recommendation on tension, let me know.

Sorry for being a pain in the ass about this and bugging you. I don't want to make a large mistake with the string and have to redo it. I think gut will be good for the arm for a month or two before going back to tour bite. I also don't want to have to change the way I play if I don't have to, to compensate for the string or lose the performance I am used to.

After having someone else string a stick, you are truly DA MAN!!!!!!!

Thanks for everything,

Joey
