My new racket - Wilson nTour 95


Is this racket cool or what?!

After stopping for 10 years, I decided to return to the courts!

Weeks and weeks were spent on deciding on my new racket to return to the courts. Inititally it was the Prince O3 Red, a very futuristic stick with big grommetless holes for the string. Tried it on court and felt good about the racket.

Then I watched the French Open and Wimbledon, noticed this player by the name of Justine Henin Hardenne. She played with heavy topspin on both wings, and was using single-handed backhand rather than double-handed. Looking at her applying the sheer amount of spin on the balls really took my breath away! Of course she won!

Then came Wimbledon, and saw Lindsay Davenport using the same racket as Henin Hardenne. Lindsay was totally a different player, the strokes, though lack explosiveness, were spot on and consistent. She played a much simpler game with only topspin, no slice no touch. Seeing her playing against Venus was hard for me as she was giving critical match points away! Anyway, she got runner-up for Wimbledon.

So I guess it was good statistics for the racket as the pros are enjoying it big time. Went to the shop and got it without even trying it! By just looking at the racket itself makes me horny, the slim beam, sleak cutting and the sexy orange yell sex appeal all over! I got all hot and added a white overgrip, SEX-Y!

I'm Loving It!
