Is this a good deal?well, on friday, my uncle offered to sell his PD+ for $50 strung and everything. He barely uses it and i just want to hear what you guys have to say about this. is this a rip-off? or a good deal? |
||||

Let's see... how long has he had it for? On TW, a PureDrive Plus costs $189.99. If your uncle's racquet is in near-perfect condition and strung, I think $50 would be a bit low.... | ||||
| Benchwarmer1 |
he had it for a couple of months, barely used it (he prefers the 27" version) ok well, it sounded like a good deal anyway so i got it
|
||||
| x.doublea |
Oh, you got it.  It is a good deal then....
|
||||
| Benchwarmer1 |
well, i was wondering if i got ripped since its a discontinued, (or in this case) a used model | ||||

Re: Is this a good deal?
|
||||
| Benchwarmer1 |
well, he was planning to sell it to some other ppl, but to be fair, charged me
oh, yeah btw doublea, how did you get that slideshow of AA as ur avatar? |
||||
| x.doublea |
I created it (It's an animated GIF).... | ||||
| x.doublea |
If anyone wants me to make them slide-show styled avatar, just ask. Much easier to do than a wallpaper. 
|
||||
| Benchwarmer1 |
do we just PM you? | ||||
| J-man |
Oh man I'd love one. I just need to think of what player | ||||
| Benchwarmer1 |
maybe more than one? | ||||
| stevos14 |
Umm, could I have one for Sharapova? Big surprise I know! 
Ur the best thanks! |
||||
| x.doublea |
Just PM me, and I'll make it. That way I'll remember.

well, i could get a Yonex RDX 300 for Christmas, does anyone know how it plays? or what racquet i can compare it to? | ||||
| x.doublea |
Well, it falls into the category comparable to the Yonex RDS 001 (the one Hewitt uses). If I'm correct, Yonex racquets have a harder feel (in contrast to the buttery HEAD feel), so it's probably similar to the Wilson nSix-One Tour 90/95, or even the ProStaff Original 90/95. |
||||
| Benchwarmer1 |
well, here's the link to it, it's not sold anymore, but my cousin can get me one
its on racquet finder: http://www.racquetfinder.com/FMPr...swMax=318&fMin=62&fMax=72 |

Link doesn't work, but I know exactly which racquet you're talking about. Which version do you plan on getting (MID or MP)? |
||||
| Benchwarmer1 |
mp, not nearly good enough for mid, i'm not sure if it has a mid
http://www.tenniswarehouse.com.au/racquets/yonex/RDX3.htm only link i can find w/ the specs, does it work? |
||||
| x.doublea |
Yes, it does.... | ||||
| Benchwarmer1 |
i thought the RDX 500 was hewitt's 
|
||||
| x.doublea |
Oops, sorry, you're right. RDX 300 is Martina Hingis's former racquet....
|
||||
| Benchwarmer1 |
YES!!!! My uncle bought me a pack of Signum Pro Poly-Plasma  
|
||||

Tell us how you like it after you play with the string.
|
||||
| Benchwarmer1 |
unfortunately, my current strings haven't broken yet (BREAK ALREADY!!!) | ||||
| x.doublea |
Hit with more topspin and more racquet speed.
|
||||
| Benchwarmer1 |
yup, i've already started taking huge cuts with my BH, and my FH has enough spin, but what the heck, i'll try to hit it with more topspins both sides | ||||
| Benchwarmer1 |
well, changed my mind about the yonex, now i want a descent bag...
at least a six pack bag, which one should i get?
|
||||
| x.doublea |
How about this one, Benchwarmer? http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/descpageBGHEAD-TT06B6.html |
||||
| Benchwarmer1 |
wow, cool, the supercombi looks awesome too, i love the backpack straps on both | ||||
| leftys_rock |
Hm, Head, what did I know? I use a Wilson, Nike, or Adidas bag. 
|
||||
| Benchwarmer1 |
You have three bags?!?! 
the adidas one looks pretty sweet as well |
||||
| x.doublea |
I have an older version of the "Team" bag (the silver/blackish one from last year)... I personally have never worn/bought Adidas once in my life (and I'm proud of it), and I don't really like the Nike bags. So, obviously, that only leaves for one other choice.
|
||||
| Benchwarmer1 |
the nike bags kinda look like baseball bags | ||||
