So who really cares if the coil memory of this product makes the installation process take a couple minutes longer??? It is soooo worth it!!!! The performance of the new WeissCANNON Turbotwist is shockingly good. It not only exceeded, it SHATTERED all reasonable expectations. This string clearly possesses all of the potential to be brobdingnagian, […]
It’s almost here. MxD season is about to begin in Atlanta’s premiere doubles league, ALTA. Many of my like-gender friends do not look forward to MxD, but I do. I may go so far as to say I enjoy it even more than men’s doubles. Why? Well, the food at the matches takes a huge […]
The WeissCANNON 6StarString has yet to officially hit the US shores and already it is one of the most popular email subjects appearing in the ol’ inbox. Here are some tidbits for the curious. 1.

A few weeks ago we purchased a FLiP video camera so that we could take video of interesting products and situations we run across in our daily work. Yesterday we had a few moments so we shot a cheesy video of a problem we found with a Prince Speedport Red. We had not run across […]
