    I think I will go support you guys. Maybe test some rackets out if my wrist and arm have healed by then.

    This is just my opinion. Maybe we should a separate section for StringFest events just like places to play. :)

    I might be playing in that if I feel up to it, but that would certainly work. Count me in.

    Alan and I met today and the first AK/BC Stringfest will be held on Feb 6.

    details are still being worked out. feel free to make suggestions on what you like to see, and let us know if you are interested in attending. we will make a more formal announcement when things gets more solidified.

    Just talked to Alpha!!! A new stringing tool will be coming out, said to help out new stringers, they are waiting for a patent. It is secret, Alpha can't talk about it yet. I heard Yonex is going to be agressive next year. 19 new frames coming out, new and new colors of frames.
