    Tennis Thread

    Glad I found this tennis thread for olds, good stuff. What racquets/strings are considered easy on the elbow? I saw a couple of things mentioned but wasn't sure. Went out for the first time in 20 years, hit off and on for about 2 weeks and then had the same elbow issue that others mentioned. My sticks are a couple old 20+ yr old radicals(I think a Radical Trisys 260? and a Flexpoint). Both have 15+ yr old strings and strung tight as hell (growing up I think I would string them near ~ 60). My game was fine, could still serve and hit forehand easily. I'm a righty but my left elbow had some pain bending back when trying to hit a 2 hand backhand so had to settle for the old man slice backhand. Didn't hurt afterwards though like my right elbow. I could barely swing with it (I got one of those tennis elbow tension bands that go on the upper forearm which seemed to help a bit). It hurt like shit trying to slice and/or hit a regular forehand after that. Took off about a month and seemed to go away but a little nervous to get back out there until I figure out or learn about current racquets/strings that could help alleviate/prevent old elbow. I've always played with oversized racquets but can play with mids as well if that's the type of racquets that get rec'd here.
  2. for you folks with the withdrawal symptoms to the point of having shakes/sweats/going to ER, was that going cold turkey from just having a few drinks every evening, every day or were you a functioning day drinker every day as well? Just curious, understand if no one wants to give specifics as everyone's tolerance/chemistry is different. I have a few buddies who like the rest of us booze in the evening almost everyday after work but also eat healthy and exercise daily. Always wondered if it would be tougher or easier to go cold turkey for a month in that situation.
  3. Schultz or Higbee? I dont trust that fucking sooner turs even though Higbee is his fave now. Thinking Dak might have alot of play action opps for Dalton
  4. I throw away my pants after wearing them. 2 pairs for 2 weeks? Pfffshhh...
  5. Shit, thinking about sitting Jacobs vs niners? I was already considering it before Carr got benched. My other options are Moss or Murray. Was leaning Moss but also dont know if they'll limit Jacobs touches.
  6. Same, supposed to fly nonstop from Austin to ABQ this next Monday. Guess just check morning of and if it says "delayed", hit eject and cancel?
  7. Thank god the bolts didn't need to pass anymore and we dont have ppr

  9. Yep, worked for me too, even if you only have the foam ones or none at all, wrap with towel/duct tape.

  12. Kid woke up sick this morning, have 4 tix in Sec 13 around row 20. Great seats, I'll get rid of them for $20/each OBO, can transfer tix this morning.
  13. I remember seeing the killers on the same stage around 2004 at like 1pm and being 105 degrees. There were like 200 people there Sent from my Pixel 4a (5G) using Tapatalk
  14. Yeah, being an asshole didn't help his cause but I thought Pelini was fired for his brother being an even bigger, coked out asshole and a bit handsy
  15. I noticed this over the weekend, people falling out left and right, telling people to watch out for the heat wave, etc.. I told people I met it felt like a lovely spring in Houston or Austin with less humidity. They thought I was joking. It wasn't that bad but it was hot.
  16. Thanks for the info, going to the Sunday game for now. Game says 3pm start so I assume thats 1pm local time, so head to the 3B side for shade?
  17. Thanks, yeah saw the "heat wave". Hopefully Austin/Houston has prepared me for it over the last month, if it's humid as fuck all bets off. Looks like seating options above 1B dugout are field level/mvp and "terrace" options. Is there better beer/food options/views/shade in "terrace" or not worth it?
  18. Will be in Anaheim this weekend to watch Stros.. Any recs for a particular section/seats for day game @ 3pm? Sent from my Pixel 4a (5G) using Tapatalk
