    doubles mostly.
    returning to the game after an absence... so no real style.
    but prefers netplay, drops and drives.

    BK 735 Ti (roughly equiv to yonex 3U G4)
    ashaway rally21 @ 21lbs (soon to be bg85 @ 22lbs)
    yonex super grap over original BK TUF regrip.

    tried the karakal SL Ti-80, liked it, so i ordered a pair.
    should be arriving any day now, so we'll see how it works out.

    Play Style: I dink a lot. :p

    Racket: AT700

    String: BG80, Ashaway MP, PG65 Neon

    Tension: 28lbs. for BG80, 30lbs. for MP, 29lbs. for PG65 Neon
    (I believe different strings require slightly different tension to make equal, takes a bit of experimenting though)

    Which game? Mainly men's doubles. Also like men's singles, but don't often get to play it. Hate mixed doubles with a passion. Sometimes semi-deliberately lose a mixed game quickly so I can play the next men's doubles.

    Playing style: players are terrible at assessing their playing style. Usually they say what they like to think about themselves, not what they actually do.

    Err....I'd say I have much better attack than defence (defence is a weakness of mine, but dropshots, smashes, and movement are strong). So I suppose that makes me an "offensive player".

    My preferred playing style is to move very fast around the court and play all varieties of attacking shots (I love to finish on a kill). Doubles rotation gives me a real buzz. That does not always happen :(

    I like to use crosscourt slice dropshots in doubles, even though I know they are a stupid tactic :D

    Rackets: two Yonex Armortec 800-DE 4U G4.

    Strings: Yonex BG-80 at 25 lbs tension. I believe it's an electronic stringing machine.

    Grips: remove original grip, add two replacement grips for bulk, and finish with a Wilson Xtra-tack overgrip. Wear sweatbands and keep switching between the two rackets to let the grips dry out.

    he should just use a wooden board glued in between the frame of his racquet, it wouldn't be much harder than that.
