The scenario is whenever I'm feeling "burnt out" and every "modern" stick (well modern for me...Radical TT MP, HPS 6.1 95, a leaded up Microgel Extreme Pro) starts to feel like a powerless board....I whip out a Head Graphite Pro and feel like I can actually hit a damn tennis ball once again? Is it placebo effect? How the hell can a 89.5 sq inch heavy frame suddenly feel like the most maneuverable and effective weapon I have? Then I go back to my "modern" sticks, and they feel good again, and so I'm "cured". It's like I have to "kick it old school" to get my mojo back! Most of the time if I'm playing a heavy hitter it would be suicide to use this stick, so I realize it's limitations, but then again their are times it's all I can effectively wield! Weird...may be all mental...but this old guy always has a home in my bag! Anyone else have an "ol faithful"?
