Head Tennis Racquets are Game Changers


          Head Tennis racquets have been around since 1950. I have always been skeptical of Head Racquets. Every Head racquet I have tried felt too heavy.
          
          This last summer, I was looking for a new tennis racquet. I demoed a few new racquets at Match Point Tennis in Kingsport, Tenn.. The owner handed me a Babolat Aero Storm Cortex, a Prince EXO3 Graphite 100 Midplus, a Wilson BLX Tidal Force and a Head Youtek Speed Elite. The Babolat seemed to be a little on the heavy side. The Prince had a little too much power. The Wilson was just too big and bulky. The Head racquet was just right. Within the first ten hits, I knew this racquet was the one I wanted.
          
         The Head Youtek series was released in 2009. The Youtek
racquets are designed to fit the swing speed and style of the player using them. I was skeptical at first. The speed elite is the racquet for me. If you love tennis get a Head Youtek design and play your best tennis.

Best Concert Ever!!!



Maroon 5 is probably one of my favorite bands. There music has such a good sound to me. When I was at East Tennessee State University last year I went to go see Maroon 5 in concert.To say the least, the concert was amazing. After it was over and the band had left the stage, I quickly ran over to where they had exited. I was too late to catch a glimpse of Maroon 5’s lead singer Adam Levine. I did get to see the lead guitarist James Valentine.
As I turned and walked back to my seat, all I could think of was “I wonder I they will have an encore?” So as people walked to the exits, I went back to my seat and waited for just a few minutes. Holding out hope that Maroon 5 would come back for an encore. All of a sudden I hear someone on stage playing the keyboard. I quickly ran back to the edge of the stage. Back to that, there was Adam Levine I was utterly speechless. All I could manage to say was “Adam Levine I freaking love you!” He looked at me with a really weird look and said "I love you too man" Maroon 5 played 3 more songs and ended the night. At that moment I knew Maroon 5 would always be my favorite band.
