🎾 OFFICIAL AGASSI RETRO THREAD 🎾

[davinci]

if I got them for $40 I would definitely break these out on the court 

 

[bad lieutenant]

I refuse to pay an Add to cart service for some Lavas... nope... **** them, I'll get a pair by my own

 

[Sinner]

Sounds like me. I had hopes of playing college but justin gimelstob put an end to that. I thought I was good until he destroyed me in a tourney. Match took 30 minutes and he didn't even take his sweater vest off. Tossed my rackets in the trash and never played competitively again.

 Man, that's rough.  Gimelstob, of all people. 

What do you hit with now?

 

[richiemcfly]

When are the tarts releasing in the us, or did I already miss that boat?

How many of y'all actually played tennis? Just curious.

Played from junior high til juinior college. Got a chance to play at the Ojai Tourney also where the Pac-10 host their championships.

Been trying to get back into it but I'll be winded after one rally

I'm a head guy. Love them, but probably because Agassi used them. Never liked the oversized rackets. Felt like I couldn't control the ball.

Ojai tourney!! Man, those were the days. Played there 3 years in a row. Didn't care about tennis back then. It was all about being away from home and being with friends. Some of my more memorable moments with females began at these out of town tourneys!!!

was more of a Sampras fan back in the day, but Swagassi was a close second.

Ah, my Agassi-days started with the Donnay Pro-One!  Switched to the Prince Graphite after a while and have been using it ever since.  Despite his looooong association with Head, so many people still remember his Donnay days.  Dunno why I never got into Head sticks though.  I hate their grips.  

A Prestige man?  

 

[casper90403]

Never liked Sampras until it was too late. Took him for granted. Thought he was boring. Sort of like federer for me now. I started to appreciate him more as he got older. Would have loved to see Pete play roger. Saw Pete play edberg back in 1990 (?) here in LA. What an experience.

Jealous of you dudes in NY. US Open is on the bucket list.

Yessir! All about prestige.

Hope nobody is upset with the thread derailment by me. I'm sitting here in jury duty today. Bored as hell and this thread always has me thinking about my childhood. Going to get my 7 and 2 year old into tennis. I waited too long.

 

[davinci]

i loved Sampras. played with the pro staff 85, that thing hit so smooth

 

[Sinner]

There's a pro-tennis thread in Sports and a Nike Tennis thread in Nike, so we can continue there. 

 

[theshoewizard]

Man Australia gets all these great Agassi cws for the ATC and the U.S. is just getting straight shafted right now. Even worldwide spots are getting some of these QS cws and over here in the US we're worried about just scooping one pair of Lavas.

My older cousin was the one that introduced me to these when they first came out... dude use to play tennis and hed em, and ever since then i wanted them... as far as playing tennis.. i gave it a try, but that isssh is hard  as F to play 

 i played it just messing around tho... i was more of a football, basketball, and baseball person

Smh @ these add to cart services jumping on these

You must have played in Jersey then.

 

[skb1041]

Makes no sense!

My proxy is taking forever to ship my pair of Lavas. Was MIA from the thread for a few days and its moving crazy quick. What the hell happened? Did *HE* wear a pair of ATC2 in public or something?

As, FWIW I heard the Lavas will be a GR in the Fall and see a wider release.

Hope the midsole is dyed on these because when I cleaned my 08s after a few wears the paint came right off
