Pro Staff but more forgiving...

I'm a 3.5 player playing both 3.5 and 4.0 and doing pretty well. I have been using the Pro Staff for years and love it, with one exception. If I'm tired, sluggish, hungover, etc., and therefore less than perfect, it's super unforgiving. Obviously, the right answer is to get enough sleep, etc. But, I'm looking at possibly getting a 100" racket and wondered if anyone has made the jump. Thinking of Pro Staff X, Defyer, Blade, Ezone and Vcore.

I'm a 50 y. o. base liner with a big forehand and defensive OHBH. I also have a big, flat serve. I rarely play at the net in singles. I do play a lot of doubles and, therefore do play the net and this is where the biggest issue is. More days than not, the PS97 is great for me. But, if I'm on match #2 of the day, hadn't slept well or anything else that makes me off of my game, my net game falls off drastically as I'm not hitting the sweet spot. I'm not framing shots, just slightly off center and the ball either dies like I hit it with a club, or sails. Looking for a more forgiving option that may allow for less-than-perfect shots but with similar feel.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Anyone moving from an Audi S5? I'm agonizing over this decision!

I have a 2019 Audi S5 Sportback and I LOVE it. It's bells and whistles are a little dated and the resale is great right now, but going quickly. I'm debating getting a new car and the Y performance is top of the list. I'm curious if anyone has made that move and, if so, how they feel about it. I don't like the new S5, if I did, I'd probably get it.

I usually drive 45 mins each way to tennis and other events. Super interested in the audio, FSD and the overall experience.

Help me decide!!

Audi App Notification Badge Won't Go Away

About a month ago, I got this notification in the Audi app. Nothing in the app at all relating to notifications. I'm the type to clear out all notifications on my phone, so it's really annoying. Anyone have any ideas what it is and how to clear it?

I've logged out and back in. Killed the app and re-opened. Gone through every section ad nauseam. Logged out and back in. Nothing gets rid of it.

New Startup Behavior. Startup Tabs Not Opening.

Apologies if this has been posted, I can't find it. I've been using Brave for years and love it. Recently, I can't remember when, but maybe 2 weeks ago, the startup behavior has changed. Previously, if I fully closed the browser and reopened, my Default profile's startup pages would open. To "reset" things if I wanted to close out of a ton of open tabs, I'd close any other profiles, then choose Brave -> Quit Brave (on a Mac).

Now, opening Brave shows the New Tab page, not my startup tabs. I have to close the window leaving Brave open, then click Profiles -> Default to open my startup tabs. This is the same behavior if I restart my Mac. Opening Brave on a freshly restarted Mac only brings up the New Tab page (with the Dashboard).

Any suggestions? I haven't changed any settings. Closing the window, leaving the app running and clicking Profiles -> Default isn't the worst thing in the world, it's just kind of annoying...

My settings are below:

AA County or nearby top tier Ford service center

Hey y'all. Not sure if this is the right place, but figured I'd give it a shot. I have an Audi and take it to Annapolis Audi for service. They are AWESOME. White glove everything, super attentive and very pleasant to work with. Not to mention that the service is outstanding.

My Audi is getting older and I'm considering getting a Mustang as I want a convertible and manual transmission. I just don't want to give up the amazing service experience.

That said, anyone have any experience with nearby Ford dealers that they absolutely love? I'm told that Koons is just...okay. Hoping to find a close-by Ford dealer/service center that is out of this world.

Thanks in advance!

Is Stringerpro.com Legit? Any chance of counterfeit?

I just purchased a few reels from stringerpro.com. Some of their prices are a little bit lower than Tennis Warehouse and other mainstream retail places, but some are SUPER cheap. For instance, Hyper-G Soft is ~$35 cheaper but Yonex and Babolat strings seem to be a LOT cheaper (over $150/reel).

Any chance those strings are not genuine? Anyone else ordered from stringerpro.com before?

I play with the Pro Staff 97 v14 and have them strung with Hyper-G Soft 18g at 48 lbs. I love the feel of this setup, but they notch after a match or two. My question is, how much notching is okay? Will any notching prevent proper snapback? Meaning, if I notice notching, should I restring? Or, is some notching acceptable without causing significant issues with snapback and playability?
