Comment on What is the difference between pro tennis rackets and recreational rackets? by Angus

I will compare the pair.
Recreational rackets are generally lighter, have a bigger head size
Pro rackets are heavier, the head size is small(or smaller), have tighter string patterns (for example, closed), they are generally heavier
Pro rackets give you more control, but less spin and power because most pros can generate a lot or most of their own spin and power.
Like Roger Federer, his racket has a closed string pattern, is about 322 grams and has a small head size.
I hope this helps buddy =]

Comment on How do you reset a Home Theater surround system back to the original factory setting? by sevenout7

someone probably went into the menu and changed the setting or messed up the sound fields, all receivers will reset, but i have yet to see one with a reset button, look in the owners manual or call the manufacturer, most of them have a way to do it but you have to know, for example denon you have to hold the a and b speaker switch down, while turning on the main power button, they make you perform weird combonations os you or noone else can accidently reset the reciever

pro racquets are not 3 pieces, they are solid one piece graphite, this gives you more power and control and less arm pain

Comment on Can I use an home theatre system amplifier/receiver with a turntable to transfer my LPs to my PC? by Luc J

You need the receiver, because that one has a pre-amplifier required for a turntable. The turntable itself does not give a usable signal for the PC input levels. But you can effectively connect the Tape Out (never the loudspeaker connections!!) or something similar from the receiver, preferably to a line-in on the PC. Soundcards tend to have line-in connector, a laptop does not always. In that case you’ll need to find another type of input and hope that the impedances match.

I’ve used audiograbber to convert my vinyl records, but I just noticed that the site http://www.audiograbber.com-us.net/ is off-line now. Check if you can find the SW elsewhere on the Internet or look for a similar one thata automatically splits the tracks into different files.

Well when you say "recreational racquets" I assume you mean prestrung racquets with metal frames, right? The reason for the difference in cost is simply that. Professional frames (and even frames for serious amatures) are made of graphite, which makes the frame stronger and gives it a better feel, but also a premuim price.

As far as the difference between professional frames and serious amature frames, the main difference is weight. Pro level frames are generally much heavier, averaging in at about 12.5-13.5 oz, while amature frames usually weigh between 9.5-12 oz. The added weight lets the pro players hit faster shots — more weight means more momentum — and also adds stability to the racquets, making it easier to handle their opponent’s shots.

I can only partially agree with the previous answer that pro frames are generally smaller. Most pros hit with head sizes ranging from 100-95 sq in. While this is significantly smaller than a frame that would be used by a beginner (115-110 sq in), the majority of players who take the sport seriously use the same frames as the pros (except in stock form — most professionals have their frames customized to alter the weight, balance, and grip if their racquets). For instance, I use a 93 sq in frame and I rarely see players with head sizes above 100 sq in.

So, to answer your question, tour model frames differ from recreational frames in categories of material and weight, while the atheletes themselves will have these frames customized, which is an entirely separate difference.

On a side note, I must disagree with a previous post that claimed that pros often play with Kevlar. That is false. Polyester and Natural Gut are far more popular than Kevlar, to the point where kevlar is hardly used by professionals today.

Comment on What is the best overgrip my tennis racket? by ashley r

Just because you own a Wilson racket does not mean a Wilson overgrip needs to be used

I think it’s just a matter of preference really. I’ve use Prince MicroTac something or others and just about every Head overgrip.

I’m a big fan of a grip that just absorbs, is not too tacky, and is thin. That is why if I use anything I tend to use the Head Agassi Pro Grip.

Check all your cables. Chances are something worked loose. Check the knobs. One day someone turned the tone control or the balance knob on my receiver all the way over.

You can use your amplifier! It only requires a special chord that hooks up into your Computer. I don’t know what it’s called but I found one once in a 99 cents store! It had a red and white hook up with a computer connection for your sound card on the other end. What’s real important is the software you are going to use. There are many to pick from. I would recommend you find Musicmatch. I believe it’s free…the basic version if not just download it from Piratebay.org. If you’re unfamiliar with Piratebay, do some research and you will love it, especially if you love music the way I do. Actually you can probably skip the LP transfer and just find all of your music on Piratebay! It’s considered "illegal" but I never considered sharing casette tapes with my buddies illegal. Anyhow Musicmatch allowed me to transfer some of my dad’s LP’s from back in the day from Mexico. I used Musicmatch. You can even go into settings and have it stop and re-record between pauses to seperate tracks! You can even rename the tracks from the software. It was awesome! There was a learning curve but it wasn’t hard. I had converted some LP’s into mp3s and my uncles were loving them because you couldn’t find those artists nowhere! Seriously though…save yourself the headache and learn Piratebay! If you’re interested in saving the integrity of the LP sound (like some die hard music collectors are) you can download Flac files instead of mp3’s. The compression is a lot less and so the sound is the closest to an actual LP. Flac files are bigger and therefore take up more space but every collector is different. I’ve been collecting digital music for over 10 years now and I love Piratebay! I like it because you can find complete albums to download and often times ALL the albums from a particular artist! Awesome or what? Google and research anything you learned from my email that is new to you. Trust me if you just want music to collect and listen to and share…save yourself the headache and get into PirateBay. You will also need Vuze. They work together and are both FREEEEEEEEEEEEE! My favorite word! Vote me Best Answer please! -Robert
Also…if you start downloading mp3’s like I advised and are interested in having a jukebox type of setup from home you can use Musicmatch too but I would strongly, and highly urge you to get into iTunes! It took me a while but now I loooooooove iTunes and it is the best musicplayer/organizer/jukebox bar NONE hands down! I have all the album covers for all my albums and I can play anything in seconds from my PC! It’s also freeeeeeeeeeeeee! I love the internet!! Take care and good luck!

hello. I ‘had’ a wilson tennis racket in my beginning. ‘overgrip’ is term i do know know of. i ‘learned’ my game by practice practice practicing, and watching and feeling the result I had gained. to place myself, I grew up in the Riggs-King battle of the sexes era, and thought Bjorn Borg a great player and person. Overgrip?
