    The string colour is all wrong........yukkkk! Leave it on the carpet and vacuum it up!

    But White, Yellow or Black are all good.

    Playability says yes? Get one in white or yellow, then!!!

    "Over-tension" with VS850 is a... fluid concept these days; I think my old 30/32 is out the window till Victor (or their OEM) fixes it. Gosen is good to 30/31 +10%...:D

    I recognise that string :)

    Mine arrived this afternoon. I'm at work though so haven't had a chance to take a look yet.

    Have I been in a time warp? Thought you said "string Monday, play Tueday"
    And I am sure it's only Thursday!
    Looks good..."

    Helpful :) (but still too hard to tell in that half shade :eek:) . Now it reminds me of BMW Phoenixgelb

    Duckfeet's shot is pretty good, reminds of how it looked the first time around (greenish, but my Barca fluro yellow is looking pretty greenish right now as well on an overcast day), too bad no Yonex yellow string included in pic (;) ; or green G08)).
    edit: hey, where that last pic pop up from out of nowhere :D? I meant the pic with the red string in it ...

    I don't know when I will even use them as will probably not play for a while so they just have to look the part for the time being :p

    Can you replicate this pic with the strung with yellow string?

    Speaking of stringing issues, are this new rackets the same old rubbish grommets? If so can anyone recommend any replacements (I have a couple of other rackets that are on more restrings than the grommets look like they can take).

    I wish, welcome to Winnipeg where your surrounded by Tim Horton's, Subway's, and plastic birds.

    Tried before and it boiled down to people are too cheap, birds not prepared properly, and costly to get good quality. If your not used to feather you also tend to wreck them faster due to timing. Dan
    can attest to that when I visited and was going through them at an alarming rate :).

    Love the sound and being able to use attacking clears much more often as they drop versus continue on route towards the wall.

    Oh and I hate restringing. :D

    Not by choice, though...

    I'm also super jealous Duck's delivery has arrived. The status didn't change at all yesterday on mine and today it's stuck on Hub container via sorter. Looks like Monday it is...

    I was thinking that I must be too young to get the music reference, but turns out that I'm actually too old... Wow.

    There hasn't been a good single in our charts since Ride on Time by Black Box, IMHO:).
