Selling rackets, demo-strings and a new stringer..

This have been an interesting week if you look at it in a equipment-way...

First I tried the Head Prestige Classic 600 but did not like it so much as I hoped so I put them up for sale on Tennis Warehouse bulletin board and sold them to a gentleman in Canada. Hope he will enjoy those classic-frames.

Then I went on to sell my stringing-machine as I felt it started to be a little bit shaky. It was a 6 point machine with a floor stand , but I already had a home-made, very nice floor stand made of wood. I felt it was a shame having this nice floor stand just to stand there unused so I sold my older machine and bought a table-top machine instead and will use the home-made floorstand. There is a big advantage with the wood-stand and it´s the fact I can screw on 4 lockable wheels on it so I don´t need to lift it each time I have to move it. It still weight over 35 kg´s so wheels are a big help saving my back.

Talking about stringing,,, I have recieved 2 string-sets for tryout, for free. First I got a RAJ Poly Penta from Germany. A 6-cornered CO-Polystring in 1,23 mm thickness. Played pretty good actually. Very soft, responsive feeling. Will try it more as it grows on me each time I try it. Then today I got a set of a very nice and expensive string from Head, the Sonic Pro in 1,25 mm thickness. Will try it as soon I get a new Wilson racket...

Speaking of Wilson.. It seems to be very hard to find a used Wilson KFactor KSix One 95 in 18 * 20 string pattern and 4 1/2 original grip size,, If you have one, new or used, for sale.. Just post a comment here with your mail-adress and we can make a deal

I have done some seriously hard work in the gym this week and tomorrow i´m going to practice with my German friend Benni on RAcketcentrum. Then on Sunday we play a roda-game in Nässjö. Nässjö are nr 2 in our league and if we win this match we are champions already even if it´s 2 more rounds to play after this match. So cross your fingers, or as we say here in Sweden (translated) Hold your thumbs hard!!

Have a nice Weekend
