That's absolutely correct. Not only that, but if you go to two different
stringers with different types of machines, the inherent differences
could result in different tensions even if the machines are calibratred.

Yes, you want to stick with one stringer. Tennis is a game of
consistency. One should stick with one frame, one string and one
stringer. You may want to vary the tension among your racquets for
different conditions, but you should limit the amount of variances in 
your equipment.

Absolutely.

   I'm getting beaten up on this issue.  Well, I was trying to
avoid "best of all times" since I haven't seen them all,
so I tried to keep it current, only to discover that I was
selecting people who don't currently play.  Yes, Mayer's been
out for quite a while.  I haven't seen anything on him for almost
ten years.  

   He was considered a touch player, though.  I suppose Mac
can also be put in that category, but he had some power
when he needed it.  Supposedly they say say Ramesh Krishnan
is something of a touch player, but didn't have the power
to back him up.  Same with Nastase.

The around the world pattern is used when the cross strings must go from
top to bottom but the normal pattern would start with the crosses at the bottom.
The main strings are strung normally until you get to the last main. Before
the last main is strung (one piece pattern) you start the crosses and complete
that last main string after the last cross string. If you string with a two
piece pattern, the around the world pattern doesn't apply. Some frames cannot
stand the stress of stringing the crosses from the bottom up, and this pattern
is used ONLY to alleviate stress on certain areas of the frame. It will not
affect the playability of the racquet.

By the way Vincent, I strung the CTS Approach I sold you with Prince Topspin
on a Babolat Star II. How did that feel?

Each frame has a string pattern. Some manufacturers will allow you to use
a 50/50 pattern, but the general pattern is always the same. It shouldn't
affect the playability too much. I'm sure whoever is stringing your frames
now is using the same pattern as the last person - there is no room for
personal discretion in this area.

Note that the Thunder was number one in the league in men's doubles

They also have "highlight" videos from major tournaments as well as an

Speaking of videos, I am interested in trading for videos of some

I have the finals and some semis and quarters of all the "SLAM"

I also have many of the major tournaments such as the Lipton, Virginia

I used to play with the original Pro Staff (Kevlar) and thought it was a
great racket... it has a nice heft to it and allows you to generate a lot
of power and spin, whether you have a long, kinda loopy backswing (like
me) or a short backswing (like Courier, who also uses this model). 
Because it is so heavy (compared to most of the newer rackets), I've
found it better for baseline rallies than for net play.  It's great on
the serve, and in general a nice solid racket.

I recently switched to the Pro Staff Classic.  This is an updated version
of the original, with an "almost-widebody" uniform width of something
like 22 mm, a more aerodynamic cross section, and some fancy cosmetics. 
I think it's also a bit lighter, and certainly more maneuverable at the
net.  I've found it great for touch shots (drop volleys, drop shots,
lobs), and good from the baseline in terms of power and spin.  I am
pretty satisfied with this racket, although I sometimes get nostalgic for
the leather grip and "boardy" feeling of the original.

I told him if we went too tight, it could break but I thought 70 would be under
too tight given that Prince OK's 55-70. I got a couple of Emails saying this
shouldn't be my fault from other people. So I feel better-that and the fact

I had exactly the same symptoms, which I am assuming was caused by the
pronating motion of the serve with some wrist snap contributing to it.
Using the screw driver to remove screws etc.. which I have to do often
was most painful (had to employ both hands). I did not seek any medical
treatment. Resting the hand for about 3 months got rid of the click. The
pain is gone except when flexing the wrist to the maximum extent. I am
able to play again. But don't have a clue as to how the injury occurred.

why do you think?  I consider my self an intermediate player, and

Wooden/steel racquets are heavy and tend to vibrate a lot, I've
found.  For low-end racquets, price isn't a huge factor.

If this is the same racket as Andre Cherkesov uses, it is a Volkl (no
"y") Pro T-30 (I think I have this right...).  The outer frame is red,
and the inner frame is yellow with pink "silly string" patterned on
it.  It really is an ugly racket (I think list price is about $300 or
so).

Volkl is just starting to make inroads in the U.S., and is trying to do
so based on their reputation as a ski manufacturer, and they mainly
sell at the private (read: $$$) clubs.  My tennis pro is an authorized
dealer, but complains that the availability of the rackets is
terrible-- they are usually back-ordered.

    Well, you might try using racquet to hit your head.  It
will damage the racquet less, and perhaps the pain will
prevent you from getting too angry.   If you insist
on racquet banging, steel racquets are supposed to be 
pretty durable.  Or perhaps you could bring some hammer,
wood, and nails, and build something.  You know,
make it constructive.  Or tell your partners to refuse
to play with you if you yell.  Or better yet, everytime
you yell, you will immediately pay your playing partners
some money.  After a while, you may not want to lose
the money (I saw this on The Simpsons).   Just tons
o' ideas.

    I suppose recognizing the problem helps.  One way is
not to care if you win or lose.  Another is to do some
other action that is less destructive.  For example, you
could try straightening your strings (shouldn't go in
with the attitude that that is the problem or you
might throw it down again).  You could stomp your feet
or perhaps shadow stroke repeating the shot over.

    If you are concsious of it, you could just TRY to
force yourself to stop.   Slowly count one to ten.
Or give out a yell.  Something very short duration.

   I think Jim Loehr writes a book on the mental
aspects of the game.   Then there's that book
called the Inner Game of Tennis by Gallway?  I have
no idea what that book is like, though I think
it was popular many years ago.
