InterLock combines a seatpost and bike lock in one device
By Ben Coxworth
January 17, 2013
People really don't want to carry their bike locks around with them, do they? Over the past few years, we've seen locks that fit in a water bottle cage, get strapped to the top tube, or that are even worn as a belt. The InterLock's approach is particularly interesting, however ... it's integrated into its own seatpost.
Created by Vancouver cyclist/entrepreneur Adrian Solgaard Janzen, the InterLock consists of a key-opened 8-mm braided steel cable lock, that is stuffed inside a 27.2-mm diameter seatpost when not in use – 27.2 is the standard diameter for road bikes, but not necessarily for mountain bikes.
The two ends of the lock stick out of the post just beneath the saddle, allowing the user to grab them and pull out most of the cable when it's time to lock up. A bit is retained inside, however, keeping the cable and post attached. The cable can then be run through the frame and around an adjacent immovable object such as a bicycle rack. In that way, even if the seatpost is removed, the bike still can't be stolen. Solgaard Janzen also suggests that his lock could be used in conjunction with a harder-to-hack U-lock, for added security.
Adrian is currently raising production funds for the InterLock, on Kickstarter. A pledge of US$39 will get you one, when and if they become commercially available – at that point, the retail price is expected to be $50.
A demonstration of the lock can be seen in the pitch video below.

If it has to be used in conjunction with a U-lock, it pretty much loses all of its claimed advantage. An 8mm cable is virtually worthless. It can be cut in seconds. I wouldn't use anything less than 12mm for an auxiliary lock. And this seatpost can't be cut to length, as shorter riders often have to.

Would a thief be able to undo the nut that holds the seat post? Does anyone make a steering lock?
David Colton Clarke18th January, 2013 @ 09:49 am PST
To Gadgteer:
Right. I've been reading Gizmag long enough to know that your trademark is to trash every idea that comes along, but what's this "cutting down the seatpost" stuff? I've 40-some years of cycling, building, racing, touring on two continents and all the rest... Never heard of this. Never seen it. Bizarre. Where do you get this stuff? Do you make it up?
Otherwise, yes, I do,agree that the diameter is on the small side. I'd consider this a lock for getting an ice cream... Like he says in the video, by the way, but not for leaving your bike outside unattended. It may be a reasonable substitute for the Abus on-frame rear stay lock though which are rather heavy and pricey. A comparison may be interesting.
To DCD : sterring locks do exist. I have a Swiss-made one that works very well enough to disable the steering, but has some drawbacks including price, weight, aesthetics, and it doesn't really stop anyone walking away with your bike unless you buy the additional cable option. The cable, if you're still reading, is also not up to Gadgeteer's, or my own, standards.
duh300021st January, 2013 @ 11:52 am PST
Not really new or inventive if you consider www.i-lock.net, out since 2005 or so.
PAO22nd January, 2013 @ 05:48 am PST
Only 8mm? That's almost too easy to steal!
What do you think, how many locks (and which one) should you put on your 2500€ bike in order to leave it outside for the whole day while working?
Visiobike24th January, 2013 @ 12:54 am PST
This is awesome...Beautifully designed.
PAO how is this anything like the i-lock (now that is a ridiculous invention). I Have been riding my whole life in the city and have had 2 bikes stolen. The interlock simply stops the opportunist thief. I had a Trek mountain bike chained to a patio, I came out in the morning and the thieves unbolted the patio to get the bike. My point being, there is not a lock that can not be broken. See Youtube for examples.
I would buy this just to lock my seat (see the video on interlocks site). Normally I have to take my seat out and take it with me.
Sam Rowe19th February, 2013 @ 05:02 am PST
Just because you've never heard of cutting down a seatpost, it's never been done? I suggest you Google "cutting seatpost" or ask a bike shop mechanic. You'd be surprised at what you might learn outside of your little 40 year bubble.

from the FAS Project on Government Secrecy
Volume 2007, Issue No. 34
March 28, 2007Secrecy News Blog: http://www.fas.org/blog/secrecy/
Support Secrecy News
A Wall Street Journal column on March 26 reported that the Congressional Research Service "will no longer respond to requests from members of Congress on the size, number of background of [budget] earmarks." The new CRS policy, the Journal article alleged, "is helping its masters hide wasteful spending."
"The article is replete with mischaracterizations of CRS work and policies," wrote CRS Director Daniel P. Mulhollan in a memo to all CRS staff. "Such attacks on our independence cannot go unanswered." Mr. Mulhollan defended his agency in a letter to the editor of the Wall Street Journal, circulated with his March 26 memo. A copy was obtained by Secrecy News.http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/crs032607.pdf
The Journal article "gratuitously alludes to issues related to public access to CRS work," Mr. Mulhollan wrote in his letter. "The restriction on publication of CRS work was established long ago by Congress. CRS internal policies regarding distribution of its products ensure compliance with congressional directives. We leave to Members and committees the discretion to share CRS products how and when they wish."
"CRS has recently been subjected to much scrutiny because we have not shied away from analysis of controversial issues," Director Mulhollan told CRS staff.AIPAC COURT CONSIDERS "SILENT WITNESS" PROCEDURE
The forthcoming trial of two former officials of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee who are charged with mishandling classified information "won't be a closed trial," said Judge T.S. Ellis III at a March 15 hearing, notwithstanding some "hyperbolic" suggestions to the contrary.
But there is an open question as to whether the prosecution may employ something called the "silent witness" rule. That refers to the practice of providing evidence to the defense and to the jury, but withholding it from the public. Such a procedure would amount to "closing" the courtroom in effect, the defense argued, "because, once inside, the public and press would not, in any meaningful sense, actually hear the central evidence in the case." The government proposal is "unworkable, prejudicial and fundamentally unfair," the defense stated in a March 21 motion. It "will not only make meaningful cross-examination of critical government witnesses impossible, but will send a continuous message to the jury that the information at issue is [national defense information] deserving of protection -- the very issue that the jury must itself decide." "I have to resolve this significant issue about whether this is really constitutional," Judge Ellis said on March 15. He ordered additional briefs on the subject from both parties. The defense brief, filed March 21, is here:http://www.fas.org/sgp/jud/rosen032107.pdf
The government brief, due March 28, is not yet available. The transcript of the March 15 hearing is here:
The closely-watched trial is scheduled to begin on June 4.
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported that "the FBI was considering expanding its investigation into AIPAC and classified information leaks in early 2005 when the pro-Israel lobbying powerhouse fired two staffers already under scrutiny." See "Defense: Feds eyeballed AIPAC until it cut off Rosen, Weissman" by Ron Kampeas, March 27:http://www.jta.org/cgi-bin/iowa/news/article/20070327AIPACtrial.html
Though it may sound like one hand clapping, an unmanned aircraft must have a pilot -- just not on the plane. And someone has to worry what may happen if the pilot becomes incapacitated.
"Although the term 'unmanned aircraft' suggests the absence of human interaction, the human operator/pilot is still a critical element in the success of any unmanned aircraft operation," according to a new study from the Federal Aviation Administration. "For many UA systems, a contributing factor to a substantial proportion of accidents is human error." "Regarding the risk of pilot incapacitation, at least a few factors distinguish this risk from manned aircraft," the study noted. Since the pilot is on the ground, the effects of changes in air pressure can be ignored. Also, many advanced UA systems have procedures for communications failures or "lost data link," which is "functionally equivalent to pilot incapacitation." The most advanced systems, such as Global Hawk, "will continue normal flight whether a pilot is present or not." The study therefore recommended adoption of a minimal medical certification for pilots, including a waiver process that would also permit handicapped persons to be certified. "This process gives individuals who might not be able to fly manned aircraft an opportunity to receive medical certification for flying an unmanned aircraft." See "Unmanned Aircraft Pilot Medical Certification Requirements," Federal Aviation Administration, February 2007:http://www.fas.org/irp/program/collect/ua-pilot.pdf

Has anyone been to Prague? If so, does anyone know where you can eat cheap? I'm also looking for restaurants where the waiters speak English-anyone have any idea? Anyone bump into a restaurant catering to Portuguese cuisine in Prague-does such a thing exist? Thanks for the help in advance. |

Catalysis of the reaction: a 17-beta-hydroxysteroid + NAD+ = a 17-oxosteroid + NADH + H+.
Catalysis of the reaction: (S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA + NAD+ = 3-oxoacyl-CoA + NADH + H(+).
Catalysis of the geometric or structural changes within one molecule. Isomerase is the systematic name for any enzyme of EC class 5.
Catalysis of the reaction: a long-chain (3S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA = a long-chain trans-2-enoyl-CoA + H2O. A long-chain acyl-CoA is an acyl-CoA thioester where the acyl chain contains 13 to 22 carbon atoms.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an identical protein to form a homodimer.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with one or more specific sites on a receptor molecule, a macromolecule that undergoes combination with a hormone, neurotransmitter, drug or intracellular messenger to initiate a change in cell function.
The chemical reactions and pathways involving androgens, C19 steroid hormones that can stimulate the development of male sexual characteristics.
The chemical reactions and pathways involving estrogens, C18 steroid hormones that can stimulate the development of female sexual characteristics. Also found in plants.
A fatty acid oxidation process that results in the complete oxidation of a long-chain fatty acid. Fatty acid beta-oxidation begins with the addition of coenzyme A to a fatty acid, and occurs by successive cycles of reactions during each of which the fatty acid is shortened by a two-carbon fragment removed as acetyl coenzyme A; the cycle continues until only two or three carbons remain (as acetyl-CoA or propionyl-CoA respectively).
The chemical reactions and pathways involving medium-chain fatty-acyl-CoAs, any derivative of coenzyme A in which the sulfhydryl group is in a thioester linkage with a long-chain fatty-acyl group. A medium-chain fatty acid is a fatty acid with a chain length of between C6 and C12.
The chemical reactions and pathways, including anabolism and catabolism, by which living organisms transform chemical substances. Metabolic processes typically transform small molecules, but also include macromolecular processes such as DNA repair and replication, and protein synthesis and degradation.
The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of an osteoblast, a mesodermal or neural crest cell that gives rise to bone.
A metabolic process that results in the removal or addition of one or more electrons to or from a substance, with or without the concomitant removal or addition of a proton or protons.
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a Sertoli cell over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Cell development does not include the steps involved in committing a cell to a Sertoli cell fate.
The chemical reactions and pathways involving a fatty acid which has a chain length greater than C22.
The chemical reactions and pathways involving very long-chain fatty-acyl-CoAs, any derivative of coenzyme A in which the sulfhydryl group is in a thioester linkage with a medium-chain fatty-acyl group. A very long-chain fatty acid is a fatty acid which has a chain length greater than C22.
Protein involved in the biochemical reactions with fatty acids. Fatty acids are long chain organic acids of the general formula CH3(CnHx)COOH. They are constituents of lipids and can be saturated or unsaturated. The esterified forms are important both as energy storage molecules and structural molecules.
Protein involved in the biochemical reactions of lipids. Lipids are a diverse class of compounds which are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. They include fats, oils, triacylglycerols, fatty acids, glycolipids, phospholipids and steroids.
Enzyme that catalyzes the 1,1-, 1,2- or 1,3-hydrogen shift. The 1,1- hydrogen shift is an inversion at an asymmetric carbon center (racemases, epimerases). The 1,2-hydrogen shift involved a hydrogen transfer between two adjacent carbon atoms, one undergoing oxidation, the other reduction (aldose-ketose isomerases). The 1,3-hydrogen shifts are allylic or azaallylic (when nitrogen is one of the three atoms) isomerizations.
Enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of C-C, C-O, C-S, C-N or other bonds by other means than by hydrolysis or oxidation, with two substrates in one reaction direction, and one in the other. In the latter direction, a molecule (of carbon dioxide, water, etc) is eliminated, thus creating a new double bond or a new ring.
Enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of one compound with the reduction of another.
Protein which is part of a reference proteome. Reference proteomes are a subset of proteomes that have been selected either manually or algorithmically according to a number of criteria to provide a broad coverage of the tree of life and a representative cross-section of the taxonomic diversity found within UniProtKB, as well as the proteomes of well-studied model organisms and other species of interest for biomedical research.

Focus on Alabama Roping
Team roping also known as heading and heeling is a rodeo event that features a steer typically a Corriente and two mounted cowboys or cowgirls. The first roper is referred to as the "header" and is the person who ropes the front of the steer, usually around the horns the second is the "heeler" who ropes the steer by its hind feet.

Caving At Calico Jack's Village |
Caving at Calico Jack's Village in BelizeBox-Tunich Chamber Seplunking in Box-Tunich Pathway to Box-Tunic Bega One Sacred Mayan Calendar Pathway to Bega One Guesta exploring Box-Tunich Begin your journey back through time as you enter the amazing realm of Belize's cave system. Belize's cave system is the largest in Central America and caving in Belize offers you an opportunity to explore the world and ways of the Maya and geographical processes that shaped the region. Caves are inextricably linked to the history of Belize and the Maya. Caves were fundamental to the religion of the Maya. Vapor clouds forming at the mouths of the caves suggested to the Maya that these were the places where wind and clouds were born. Here dwelled the gods of nature and caves were the portal between the tangible world and the invisible world of the gods—a place called Xixbalba. It was here at the mouths of the caves as well as deep within the recesses that the Maya performed their sacred rituals. In many of the caves you will find large chambers and underground rivers. Caving at Calico Jack's VillageThere are five caves on the grounds, and two have been enhanced in line with safety protocols and government preservation and conservation rules. Explore Calico Jack's ceremonial caves—Bega One (Valley 1) and Box-Tunich (Stone box). After exhilarating hikes to each of these caves, view crystal formations over 5,000,000 years old casting shadows into the black abyss as you experience the most sacred area of the ancient Maya. These caves are a living museum where the past can be experienced in its natural historical location. Highlights of Bega One Cave are a replica of a Mayan Calendar seen in the cave and an alter used for sacred rituals. The beauty of Box-Tunich lies in its extensive polychrome pottery remnants, the ancient formations (speleoteam) with the secondary calcium carbonate and a sacred ceremonial chamber. Many caves prove a challenge to the experienced spelunker, but the caves on Calico Jack's grounds have been enhanced for safety. Beginners as well as seasoned spelunkers can access and enjoy them.

As I have posted previously:
The number of federal workers earning six-figure salaries has exploded during the recession. Federal employees making salaries of $100,000 or more jumped from 14% to 19% of civil servants during the recession's first 18 months — and that's before overtime pay and bonuses are counted.
Federal workers are enjoying an extraordinary boom time — in pay and hiring — during a recession that has cost over 7.3 million jobs in the private sector. When the recession started, the Transportation Department had only one person earning a salary of $170,000 or more. Eighteen months later, 1,690 employees had salaries above $170,000. … The growth in six-figure salaries has pushed the average federal worker's pay to $71,206, compared with $40,331 in the private sector.
Public sector unions will never be brought under control with the Democrats in power. The American people understand this and are reacting appropriately.

BTW, what the fuck is it with Square and abnoxiously complex last bosses? )Mario Golf Advance Tour ( pretty fun, but no big thing )Prince of Persia SoT ( FINALLY i was able to continue playing this and just finished today. Awesome fun and simply beautifull game, shame it's so terribly short. )I'm now gonna play Prince of Persia Warrior Within and finish up my long delayed dark-side run of SW-KOTOR. I've got Half Life 2 installed too, but i'm gonna have to wait on a new mouse to continue.Remaining on the "to-play" list are LOTR-Battle for Middle Earth, Chronicles of Riddick and Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines, also waiting anxiously for SW-KOTOR 2 in the coming weeks.Gives us a kiss precious.

Falcons at Panthers Point Spread Odds, Betting Trends & Matchup |
Written by Anthony Rome |
Wednesday, 24 September 2008 15:20 |
NFC South Showdown Last week, the Carolina Panthers were hoping the long-awaited reunion of Jake Delhomme and Steve Smith would give their offense a boost. Instead, it never materialized and they suffered their first loss of the season. Delhomme and Smith hope to find their rhythm when the Panthers return home Sunday to meet the surprising Atlanta Falcons. Oddsmakers from SBG Global have made Panthers -7 point spread favorites (View NFL Football odds) for Sunday's game (Game Matchup). Current public betting information shows that 61% of bets for this game have been placed on Panthers -7 (View NFL Football bet percentages). After accumulating 604 yards in winning its first two games of the year, Carolina (2-1) had just 204 in last Sunday's 20-10 loss to Minnesota. Although the Panthers played against a solid Vikings' defense at the hostile Metrodome, most expected better in the first game Delhomme and Smith played together in 364 days. Delhomme injured his right elbow in Carolina's 27-20 win over the Falcons on Sept. 23, 2007, and missed the final 13 games of the season after undergoing ligament-replacement surgery. Smith returned last Sunday after being suspended for the first two games for punching teammate Ken Lucas, but Delhomme and the three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver never really got on the same page. The duo connected on a 16-yard pass on Carolina's first play from scrimmage, but did little after that. Delhomme, who has just one touchdown on the season, finished 17-for-29 for 191 yards, while Smith had four receptions for 70 yards. The running game also never got going against Minnesota. DeAngelo Williams had 10 carries for 27 yards after rushing for 117 on 29 attempts in his first two games, while Jonathan Stewart finished with 15 yards on seven carries after gaining 130 on 24 attempts in his first two. "There's not a phase of our team where I think we've arrived," coach John Fox said. "I think we've improved in some areas. We've still got areas to grow. I don't think there are too many coaches in the league that are ready to say they've arrived, and I'm definitely not one of them." Penalties have also been a major area of concern for Fox, as Carolina committed 12 last Sunday. The Panthers' 28 penalties are tied for the league lead, and in the past two weeks they've been flagged for a false start 11 times. "The false start penalties are bothersome. That's something that you should be able to fix," Delhomme said. "We had a ton here at home, which is very disappointing." While the Panthers seem to be in a bit of a rut, their upcoming schedule should help them get on track. Carolina plays five of its next seven at home, a stretch that includes matchups against Kansas City, Detroit and Oakland. The Falcons (2-1) have already taken advantage of playing two of those teams. Atlanta is halfway to its win total from a year ago, but both of those victories have come at home against the hapless Chiefs and Lions. After losing at Tampa Bay 24-9 on Sept. 14, the Falcons jumped out to a 24-0 second-quarter lead en route to a 38-14 victory over Kansas City last Sunday. Michael Turner rushed for 104 yards and had the first three-touchdown game of his career against the Chiefs. After spending four years in San Diego backing up LaDainian Tomlinson, Turner is thriving as a lead back. He set a Falcons record with 220 yards rushing in their season-opening 34-21 win over Detroit, and has 366 yards and five touchdowns on the season. "It wears on a defense to have running backs bounce off tackles play after play," rookie quarterback Matt Ryan said. "Michael is great with that aspect because he has the will to not go down. He has the ability to get to the secondary off broken tackles and rack up yards. It takes a toll on the defense." In addition to trying to shut down Turner, Carolina, which is allowing an average of 113.0 rushing yards per game, will also be keyed on frustrating Ryan and getting him out of sync. After the Falcons established their running game against Kansas City, Ryan was able to get comfortable, and finished 12-for-18 for 192 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. When Turner was limited to 42 yards on 14 attempts against the Buccaneers, though, Ryan also struggled. Playing on the road may also hinder Ryan. He is 21-for-31 for 353 yards and two touchdowns in his two home wins, but was just 13-for-33 for 158 yards and two interceptions in the road loss. The road team, however, has won the last five games in this series.

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: more insights on structural and functional cardiac alterations, and the effects of treatment with continuous positive airway pressure. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 16580533 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
OBJECTIVES: We studied structural and functional cardiac alterations in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), their relationship to the severity of OSA, and the effects of treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea may influence the cardiac function by several mechanisms in the awake patient. METHODS: Left and right ventricular morphology and function were studied using echocardiography before and after treatment with CPAP in symptomatic patients (Epworth sleepiness score, 10 +/- 4.8) with severe OSA (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI], 42 +/- 24). The patients (n = 43, 32 men) had no known cardiac disease and were obese (body mass index, 31.6 +/- 5.4 kg/m2). The same echocardiographic parameters were studied in age-matched overweight patients (n = 40; body mass index, 26.4 +/- 2.3 kg/m2). RESULTS: The patients were hypertensive (systolic blood pressure, 153 +/- 25 mm Hg), with a higher resting heart rate (77 +/- 10 beats/min, p = 0.008) compared with age-matched control patients (n = 40). There was right ventricular dilatation, hypertrophic interventricular septum, reduced left ventricular stroke volume, tissue Doppler-determined systolic and diastolic velocities of the left and right ventricle, and normal pulmonary artery pressure. The structural and functional parameters were significantly associated with AHI (p < 0.004). Multiple stepwise regression showed the interventricular septum thickness, right ventricular free wall, and mitral annulus tissue Doppler systolic velocities to be predictive of a higher AHI (p < 0.001). Six months after treatment with CPAP, significant improvements were observed in the symptoms and hemodynamics, as well as left and right ventricular morphology and function. CONCLUSIONS: The structural and functional consequences of OSA on the heart are influenced by the severity of AHI. These effects are reversible if the apneic episodes are abolished. |

Posted by @dacron.What if...what if. Sorry @dacron but Stoner dropped it because of the pressure to get back into the WC race.Chances are comments does not change history @dacron.And the commentr about rule changes?

Busa Boy - Unregistered November 24, 2012 2:09 PM Did Pedrosa beat Stoner fair and square this year?Yes,i would say he did.Not his fault Stoner missed races with injury.But i do find it rather odd that when it was suggested that Lorenzo beat Rossi fair and square in 2010,a lot of Rossis fans were quick to dismiss the claim,stating that the only reason Lorenzo won is because Rossi missed races with injury.There seems to be a little hypocrisy here.Either injury is taken into account or it isnt.Not hating,just pointing it out. 3 agree 0 disagree

A. Specialty cork sealer or even something like a commercial water sealer for wood will protect and seal the cork, but I don't find it to really bring out the figure of the burl very well. I think if you'll get a bottle of Birchwood-Casey Tru-Oil and wipe on a single coat, perhaps two at most, you'll find the figure of the burl will really jump out at you. As far as changing the feel of the cork, you will lose some of the velvet smoothness that you can normally achieve by sanding through finer grades of paper, but it's not at all rough or objectionable. One or two coats won't build any depth so for the most part the cork isn't changed much beyond the deeper color and range of the burl figure. There may be other similar products out there that work as well, but so far the Tru-Oil has really done a great job for me on the burl stuff. ~ TK

The gold medal in men's 1,500 meter speed skating event is once again denied to Shani Davis who takes the silver at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. Mark Tuitert of the Netherlands won it this time, posting a time the world-record holder couldn't match.
Davis immediately turned his attention to the 2014 Games in Russia. Says Davis: "I have to accept it, but I still want to be able to win that race,"
Davis said Saturday as his Olympics ended when he settled for silver.
"That has been my favorite race since I was a junior, since as far along as I can remember me skating. I always wanted to win that medal.
On Wednesday night, Shani Davis won his second consecutive gold medal in the men's 1,000-meter Olympic speed skating event.

PHILADELPHIA — President Obama's reelection shores up the major provisions of the sweeping health care reform package known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. But challenges remain to implementing some facets of the plan, such as expansion of Medicaid to more low-income Americans and the provision of subsidized "health care exchanges" that will enable uninsured Americans to purchase their own coverage. U.S. Representative Allyson Y. Schwartz, a leading health care reform expert and Pennsylvania's only female congressional representative, will speak about these and other issues on Friday at the University of Pennsylvania's Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics. Penn health policy experts will also be available for discussion and comment to the media.

Clocking smear analysis and reduction for multi phase TDI CCD in remote sensing system |
Optics Express, Vol. 19, Issue 6, pp. 4868-4880 (2011)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1284 KB)
Clocking smear caused by charge transfer of time delay and integration charge coupled device (TDI CCD) is the natural component in remote imaging sensing system, and it could not be eliminated by traditional motion compensation schemes. After researching on the operation of a typical three phase TDI CCD, we give a thorough understanding on causes of clocking smear. Then an elaborate mathematical model describing the charge transfer procedure is developed, and the modulation transfer function (MTF) losses due to charge transfer is also presented, which shows that nearly one pixel smear will be introduced by traditional phase timing. Therefore we propose a novel charge transfer method, using which only

Anyone else like their racquet setups boardy?
Finally came to a realization after some solid racquet and string experimentation - I love a boardy racquet setup. It is almost used sometimes as a bad word, but to me it is sublime. When you hit through the ball, the feel on the sweetspot is absolute bliss, and the control gives me a ton of confidence in a pressure situation.
What I notice is with softer setups, I have to brush more and use more spin to control the ball. With a tighter, boardy setup I can hit through the ball more and not overspin the ball. I also am able to hybrid my poly mains with a syn gut and therefore have a tighter tension which helps me do this even more. The final equation is the 18x20 pattern. The tight pattern definitely feels better to me. I firmly believe open patterns are more launchy and lose ball feel. More strings = more feel for me. What about spin you say? This is a setup for players that can hit with spin already and want to be able to come through the ball more. An 18x20 pattern makes you work a little harder for spin, but the result is a very penetrating ball that does not sit up, and instead kicks forward - speeding the ball up off the bounce. A lot of players dont see this ball as much so that is a nice bonus. a little less weight on the racquet can help generate this. Anyway, the point of this thread is to find the best boardy control setup out there. Here is mine so far: 4G 17 and OGSM 16 at 52/54. I really would like to find a cheaper replacement for the 4g, but so far nothing has come close. I have tried Cyberflash/OGSM (too soft..not enough feel - but a solid budget option) Cyclone/NVY (too springy - Nvy is an amazing cross but not for a boardy setup). Cost advantage of 4g is it holds tension for a long time. You can play this setup for close to 2 weeks. The control level is off the charts as well. My next setup to challenge : Tour bite 17 and Wilson Stamina - 52/54. |
I didn't play with Kevlar/Gut @ 60/64 for 10+ years for the amazing feel & touch...
Granted I've moved on to Gut/Poly combinations over the past few years, but that is mainly because Gamma stopped making the Kevlar I used, and nothing else felt right. |
What do you mean by "boardy"? Do you mean "board-like"? As in a stiff stringbed?
I triend pro blend recently but it was not optimal. Just kind of harsh really.
anubis..yes boardy usually means stiffer on these boards. |
Hmmm. You want a stiff stringbed? IMO you'll never get that with a hybrid setup. You've got to go full poly. All syn guts will soften the stringbed. I'm in a similar boat as you: I like 18x20 string patterns, and a stiff string bed. If i string syn gut, I go 62 lbs or higher. For full poly, I string 54 lbs or higher. but i've never had any good results with hybrids -- that is, hybrids for the sake of low cost. If you hybrid two high performance strings, that's once thing. But hybriding OGSM in with some nice poly is only giving you 60% performance, since OGSM is cheap (in every sense of the word) string. If you have a few racquets, I suggest taking your 4g and going full bed with it @ 52 lbs. I think you'll find much more accuracy and control that way. I know, its more expensive. that blows, but that's the price you pay for laser-accuracy. If it gets you wins, it was worth it, right? |
I guess I should clarify that I find the 4g/ogsm to be ideal for what I am describing. I have the laser accuracy with it, and am simply looking for a less expensive setup if there is one. Full poly in the 18x20 was tried by me, and I lost feel.
I disagree that OGSM hampers the performance of the bed by 60%. It adds feel back and I can also keep the bed a little tighter and my arm is never bothered. 60% is a little extreme. Do agree that full 4g at 52 could be a nice setup, but when I can tension syn gut close to 55 with a poly - it actually plays better for me believe it or not. Just how I hit. I really love syn gut crosses in a tight pattern, and I think it is the best of both worlds. But I generate a lot of spin without needing full poly. Id string OGSM full at 62 also though. In fact if I get a 3rd racquet, that is happening. |
Yes and no, I guess. Back in the nineties I much preferred a kevlar hybrid over full multi or syngut primarily for the stiffer, more predictable and controlled stringbed as well as durability. That was despite the fact that I played mostly s&v on the grass courts Down-Under... When 1st gen poly became more readily available in the late nineties I switched to that, but at high tensions, 60# or more. Could get a nasty kick on the grass with that. In other words, I loved boardy! Coming back to tennis on the European clay, I had to remodel my game and learnt a full SW-WW forehand, and in recent years I found I much prefer poly at low tensions (high 30s). So l now prefer a less boardy set up that still gives me plenty control with added comfort and spin.
I like soft setups. OGSM in a full bed was simply awful for my game.
Technically, Gamma still makes Extreme Spin 19, but it is packaged as a hybrid in TNT Fusion 19, and I wasn't willing to pay $12/pk to use only 1/2 the string. |
Yep. I have always hated multis at any tension. Should have been my first clue, but it takes a while to find a string setup.
The first eye opener was when I bought a Dunlop 200 with Lux Flouro and Wilson Stamina in the mid 50s. Really blew me away how well it felt and played. My friend played pro blend as a junior and now prefers full poly over the ogsm hybrid by just a little. He goes back and forth since he has 1 stick strung with each. |
I agree. It takes some time to learn your preferences in tennis unless you are playing in blissful unawareness (pre TT).
Yes, liking the way these "boardy" control oriented strings play in this powerful frame. I'm finding better control/placement and playing more aggressively not just on topspin groundstrokes but also on slices and volleys with better touch on dropshots. Not loving the comfort on some of these strings but some are alright. Also grew up playing syn gut and like the way it feels - can't get used to the feel of most multis but hoping it will work out in a poly hybrid. Currently playing a syn gut hybrid as well.
Ray what strings do you use and what tension?
Main reason for this thread is to find the best boardy control setups out there. So far the 4g/OGSM reigns supreme for me. |
Right now Pro Line X 1.25 mains / Forten Sweet 17 crosses @ 50/53lbs. PLX plays firm, low powered, and hits at a lower trajectory all as if it were strung at a higher tension. Borderline harsh IMO.
SPP Hextreme Pure 1.25 / FS17 @ 51/53lbs. Quite firm but with better comfort than PLX. Massive spin, good power on hard hit shots. Have only tried the Pure version, which got different ratings and descriptions than the standard Orange version on a certain string forum that I'm sure you know about. I'm currently trying out different control oriented polys and haven't settled on any particular string yet. |
Been changing up my forehand for the past 8-9 months and the slice in the last 3-4 months. Now I'm starting to like 18x20 patterns as well - found more spin and was hitting more aggressively. Seems to be in the same direction as favoring a firmer/more control oriented/"boardier" string set up.
Ok this is really nice info. The PLX I have never used in my life and it sounds a lot like 4G.
If I can't smell the resin, the tension's not high enough.
PV, anything out there that can compete with 4G for me?
Honestly, given that I don't like 4G and you love its tension stability, I may not be the one to ask. However, I would be remiss if I did not recommend anything from Signum Pro or Weisscannon. WC Silverstring, for instance, becomes TERRIBLY boardy when strung above 55lbs in my experience. It's not a soft string by any means, but it feels like wood to me at 60. The control, however, is off the charts. And I would put Silverstring against anything but SPPP as far as tension stability goes. I don't think anything from Lux is even in the same league. Even at your tension, it's not going to be a pillow. It will feel firm, but not boardy. The string just has too much feel for that.
