Discontinued ProductThe PharosFX and PharosFX Plus Imagers have been discontinued. However, we will continue to provide support for Pharos System owners until March, 2020.For many applications, camera-based chemiluminescence and chemifluorescence have now become viable replacements for laser scanning detection and imaging methods. We recommend that customers interested in purchasing an imager consider the ChemiDoc™ MP Imaging System or the ChemiDoc Touch Imaging System as alternatives to the Pharos System.
The PharosFX and PharosFX Plus Systems can be used to image many types of samples (such as gels, blots, and microplates) and to support a wide range of imaging applications. The product family covers a broad range of features, including:
Fluorescence DetectionThe PharosFX and PharosFX Plus Systems use multiple lasers, which enhances application flexibility. Internal and external laser options allow optimal excitation of single- or multicolor fluorescent samples, permitting the detection of almost any fluorescent dye or label, including ethidium bromide, SYBR® Green I, SYBR® Gold, SYPRO Orange, SYPRO Red, Nile Red, SYPRO Ruby, Deep Purple, Alexa Fluor 488, 532, 546, and 635, FITC, FAM, Cy2, Cy3, Cy5, HEX, R6G, TAMRA, Texas Red, Pro-Q Diamond, and Pro-Q Emerald.
Software-controlled filter wheels accommodate eight filter slots, allowing detection of combinations of dyes. Installation of a custom emission filter allows detection of novel fluorophores with the PharosFX or PharosFX Plus System. For applications requiring additional laser lines, an optional external laser module (up to two lasers) can be added for more flexibility. Optional external 488 nm and 635 nm lasers are available for both systems. These upgrades allow users to change research focus or take advantage of developments in fluorescence chemistry.
All laser and filter combinations are driven by user-friendly Quantity One® 1-D Analysis Software. Simply choose the application, and the software automatically selects the optimal hardware (laser and filter) settings. You can also create custom applications and apply custom emission filters for novel fluorescent probes.

Wanted to love these
"Based on previous reviews and the pictures I was really looking forward to receiving these boots. Sadly they run at least a half a size too big and the sole is very hard, beyond that they just looked kind of cheap - there was no way they we going to work for me. What made me more mad was that I used my certificates and coupons on them which I could have used on a more expensive higher quality boot :( I wish those were reimbursed when shoes are returned."

Virgin Australia Expands Regional Network Adding Gladstone and Port Macquarie and Increased Canberra Services28/07/2011
The Virgin Australia Group of Airlines today announced the first routes for its new ATR aircraft, under its regional alliance with Skywest (subject to regulatory approval).
From October 2011 the airline will commence new services from Brisbane to Gladstone and Brisbane to Port Macquarie and add extra services between Canberra and Sydney, bringing the total number of flights between the two cities to 60 each week.
Virgin Australia's Group Executive of Alliances, Network and Yield, Merren McArthur, said the introduction of the new routes of Brisbane to Gladstone and Brisbane to Port Macquarie reflected the airline's commitment to the expansion of its regional network.
We are adding services to two unique regional markets to provide guests with more choice and more convenient schedules to connect with our domestic and international services and partner airlines.
"Gladstone is a booming city with a thriving economy that supports the resources, tourism and primary production sectors. We have introduced a schedule to suit both the corporate and leisure traveller in this very important market," Ms. McArthur said.
Ms. McArthur said the daily services from Brisbane to Port Macquarie on New South Wales' mid-north coast meant guests no longer need to transit via Sydney when visiting Queensland. The services also provide access to Virgin Australia's extensive range of international and domestic connections from Brisbane.
Virgin Australia will now operate Sydney to Port Macquarie services using the new ATR aircraft, replacing the Embraer E170 aircraft. The ATR 72-500 aircraft will operate:
- Double daily week-day return Brisbane to Gladstone;
- Daily return Brisbane to Port Macquarie;
- Double daily Sydney to Port Macquarie; and
- Up to six daily return services between Sydney to Canberra
Ms McArthur said the introduction of the ATR aircraft represented a new era in Australian regional air travel.
"The 68-seater one class turbo-prop aircraft is spacious and stylish in keeping with Virgin Australia's new business model.
The first two ATR aircraft are named after the Far North Queensland beaches - Mission Beach and Four-Mile Beach.
Under the alliance, Skywest will operate and maintain the aircraft on behalf of Virgin Australia using Virgin Australia's branding and quality inflight product and service.
The new aircraft fleet will be leased from specialist leasing company Avation PLC (LSE: AVAP), with an initial term of 10 years.

For once, Kubo was not trolling.
Unohana has earned every one of those weird looks and strange reactions she always get, apparently O_O
Proud (and confused) subscriber of Shonen Jump Alpha.
Pretty great chapter...
Spoiler!So it seems Kyouraku will be the next captain commander after all, and Unohana was the first Kenpachi? She must be quite the badass... I can't wait for Kenpachi to actually learn some techniques and perhaps shikai/bankai. Also it seems Ichigo, Renji, Byakuya and Rukia are in for some major poweruppage. And the soul king "fell" for Ichigo? Like homo style? eeek!
Best non action chapter form me....one of the best revelations also......
1. Kirinji is fast as hell and ichigo could counter him..... meaning ichigo is a lot faster than soifon - not a surprise though
2. kyoraku is appointed Captain commander - really happy for this
3. Unohana is - UNOHANA YACHIRU - the person zaraki kenpachi admired the most and named yachiru his adopted daughter after her.... THE FIRST KENPACHI!!!!!!
More to this according to central 46 zaraki kenpachi is really really really powerful..... that is why yamamoto stop teaching him kenjutsu or whatever in just one day.... he would hard to stop(kubo is really agreeing with the guy who wrote the spirits are forever with you and that kenpachi's true potential strength is a level 4 secret in bleach)..... i imagine he'd be a monster after completing this training even without bankai...now i see why bach made him a special war potential... and finally the look on UNOHANA's face at he last page sends chills down my spine....great chapter
One question though is kyoraku going to teach kenpachi as he told central 46 or unohana since he said i'll leave zaraki kenpachi to you?...
There is also reason why yamamoto didn't want unohana to go to the battlefield its either tied to her being the first kenpachi or something else personally here
Also i think aigawa love would replace kyoraku as the 8th squad captain....... he deserves to return back with his fellow visoreds to at least stabilize the power of gotei13 this time if an attack comes again hehe
Last edited by my2kb22; 12-12-2012 at 09:15 AM.
Cool chapter. Really really great IMO!
Kyoraku is head captain...wery well. He's got power and intelligence. The time to be a lazy man is over huh? Oh well.
BUT wasn't Unohana's name Retsu? Unohana Retsu? Or did she change her name....or is it her middle name? Aw, so many things...i just hope Kubo didn't forget he called her Retsu and now uses Yachiru just to fit it somewhere. I want an explanation.
So Ken gets an upgrade? Finally learn shikai? And is Retsu the one who will train him! Why does Kyoraku not get his eye fixed?
Where those 2 names or just one long ass name god I hate the complicated names in Bleach no wonder I can 't remember their damn names.
- Kubo loves using this ridiculous training sessions for Ichigo...be nice to have a more serious training.
- Soul King has an interest in Ichigo maybe to be the new soul king?
- I'm liking that Kenpachi is going to be trained in the art of killing....whatever that means.
- Seems they know how powerful Kenpachi can become and are wary of his power. He is the only Shingami able to fight at this level with no abilities.
- Unohana was the first Kenpachi surpise surprise....(not)
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
Great chapter, feels like the old bleach again. Kyoraku as CC agreed, i'm a big fan of this guy.
Zaraki's full potential must be pretty powerful if central 46 and the gotei13 even yamamoto are wary of his potential strength. Training him for just one day in kendo gave him power that could one hit the so called "strongest hierro in espada history". Insane strong. What's more currently unohana is much much stronger.
The history of kenpachi's including the recent novel and databooks
Spoiler!1st kenpachi = Unohana "Retsu" Yachiru - presumably the strongest currently in the story
2nd kenpachi = ?
3rd kenpachi = ?
4th kenpachi = ?
5th kenpachi = ?
6th kenpachi = ?
7th Kenpachi = Kurayashiki kenpachi - a potential royal guard w/ hax bankai, killed by Azashiro
8th Kenpachi = Azashiro kenpachi - hax bankai, defeated by current kenpachi
9th Kenpachi = ? the guy who succeeded, Azashiro's VC, killed by kiganjo kenpachi
10th Kenpachi = Kiganjo Kenpachi, killed by Zaraki
11th Kenpachi = Zaraki kenpachi, has history w/ unohana, probably the strongest at full potential, made gotei13, central 46 and even aizen wary because of his powers
I wonder if Kenpachi's Sword's Shikai and Bankai along with his memories were not sealed by Yamamoto Genrusai himself (or by Squad Zero).
As I recall, Kenpachi and Yachiru awoke after a battle without recollection of who he was. I also one theorized (And other before me, I was told), that Yachiru is actually the materialized form of his Zanpakuto.
And yes, Bleach is getting very Interesting again.I do Hope that Kubo has truly found his stride and this renewed Story-Telling Mojo is not just astray Blip on the Radar screen. And if Kubo really does plan 10 more years of Bleach (Rumor?), it would be a welcome successor to Naruto as my Numero Uno Manga distraction from life's annoyances.
Yeah it's one really long name (Last name, first name, second name ). I was a bit confused by it too. Kinda like Kennedy, John, Fitzgerald or something like that.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !

The 2012 Canadian Open Volleyball Championships Approach!
(April 5th Ottawa, ON) - The 2012 Canadian Open Volleyball Championships are right around the corner. Unlike previous years, Volleyball Canada will be host to the event held under one roof and will see 10 000 athletes battle to be crowned national champions.
From May 17th 2012 to the 22nd, teams will gather at the Direct Energy Center in Toronto, Ontario to face off for Volleyball Gold.
This is the first time that Volleyball Canada will be hosting an event of this size at one venue. No other National Federation have ever held a single-sport National Championships of this size in Canada! This will be a Canadian first! There will be 54 volleyball courts set up in the Direct Energy Centre and over 800 teams participating.
"I am extremely pleased to see our Open Championships move to the next level of combining all events in one location and one venue. The support of Tourism Toronto, HTG Sports Services and the Ontario Volleyball Association will be instrumental in the delivery of the largest National Championship in Canada." said Volleyball Canada's Executive Director Mark Eckert.
In conjunction with the 2012 Open, the National Sitting teams will hold an International Paralympic Preparation Competition called the Canada Cup. All attendees will have the opportunity to witness international caliber sitting volleyball at its best!
Make sure to visit Volleyball Canada's website (www.volleyball.ca) frequently to get all 2012 updates and championship information. For more information about the championships please contact Mariève Millaire or Meaghan Green.

I agree with gela, the Earl may look like an idiot, and sometimes act like one, but he is seriously strong. The Noah's are also really cool, especially ones like Tyki and Rhode.
The storyline is also something that is something that stands out and I really like the way Allen tries to save the akuma and tries to keep their existance equal with that of humans (Because there are some moral dilemmas facing different caracters in the manga). I also think that the Hoshino was really able to play out the dilemma's with Miranda's anti-akuma weapon really well. The fact that it can stop time and heal people but its only temporary (one of the reasons why Volume 7-8 are my favourites).
And yes, the action is cool.
Basically theres a lot of different reasons why I like D.Gray Man, and those reasons can be about the small things in the manga, like some of the funny interactions between Lavi and Allen or the larger things like the intense battles where the Noahs need to get their asses kicked.

Teddy Ruxpin was the work of the devil. NEXT!ReplyCancel
Awww now I love teddy ruxpin!! He was adorable. Monkeys playing cymbals and the smurfs creeped me out. But teddy was golden.ReplyCancel
I loved my Teddy. Yes, he was creepy but nowhere near as creep as the Charlie McCarthy replica perched at the end of my bed that I woke up to one horrible Christmas morning.ReplyCancel
One kid hits the other over the head with Teddy and splits his head open. We rush to the ER for stitches. The doctor asks how this happened and my son says "Teddy Ruxpin did it."
We sure got some weird looks.ReplyCancel
LOL! My first thought was it was creepy as hell too..
Hey Sas I had tons of those Jolly Monkey's and I actually loved them. They were the mascot for my company I owned at the young age of 22-29. They are no longer mfg but they hold a special place in my heart.
Wanton is cracking me up!ReplyCancel
My sister and I used to blame Teddy Ruxpin for EVERYTHING.
Fun fact: Shortly after his debut, Teddy Ruxpin was the "Official Spokesbear for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children" in 1985.

Citigroup's (C) William Katz estimates KKR & Co. (KKR) is due to reap a profit of at least $400 million from budget-retailer Dollar General's (DG) stock offering of 30 million shares.
Katz says KKR's cost basis for its slug of Dollar General shares was about $9 — compare that to the $50.99 that the stock is fetching Wednesday afternoon.
From Katz:
DG Sale Could Produce $400M Gain, We Estimate — Assuming secondary pricing of $50 p.s. after underwriting discount, the 12.5M share sale would produce $625M in proceeds against a $110M cost base, or net gain of ~$500M. Even factoring for possible leakage (which can occur for a number of reasons) and we discount the $500M gain by 20%, we still see a net profit of $400M[.]

: If it's not the water heater relief, then you will have to get to where you can see where the pipe exits the house and trace it to it's source. Since it's PVC, it has to be a drain or vent of some kind, but as HJ stated, you don't give us very much to go on, and you will most likely have to call a plumber in to repair the problem if it is more than the relief valve.

: : : : after reinstalling a sink and faucet in the kitchen when I turned the water back on hot water was pouring out a pvc pipe that comes out from under my house. I can not figure out where the pipe comes from, and it makes no sense how the sink replacement could have cuased it... I desperately need help here.... Please/

Platinum Plating:
Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys. Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.

Supporters of the current Douglas County School Board and a conservative radio talk show host accuse candidate Ronda Scholting of doctoring an audio for a campaign ad. Scholting, a former broadcast journalist, said the edited clip is in context with the original conversation and called the criticism a distraction tactic.
The clip was taken from KOA-AM talk show host Mike Rosen's Sept. 13 interview with school board candidate Meghann Silverthorn, who is Scholting's opponent in the election. Rosen, who supports the board's reform efforts, said candidates who support the continuation of those reforms face opposition, mostly from women.
"These are nice, well-meaning, naive soccer moms who can't distinguish between an individual teacher and the collective menace and intransigence of a teachers' union with its political power," Rosen said, talking for nearly two minutes about his view of what's at stake in the election.
Rosen then asked Silverthorn for her reaction to his summation.
"I think to some extent you hit it on the head," Silverthorn said. "It's sort of like Congress. You like your individual teacher but you look at the union overall and think, oh my goodness. The leadership of the union was what we had an issue with. Individual teachers are hard workers, they're honest and want to do right by our kids."
The video campaign ad that Scholting made from the show excludes most of that segment. It includes only Rosen saying, "You're up against mostly women. Nice, well-meaning, naive soccer moms," followed by Silverthorn responding, "You hit it on the head."
"I cut it as most television journalists do," Scholting said. "I kept the comments in context. (Silverthorn) did not disagree with what Mike Rosen had to say about soccer moms.
"The point of my video is they (board members) don't listen; they think people are uninformed. When you're looking at a board that has discounted what parents who disagree with them have been saying for years, this is just another chapter in that book."
During her broadcast journalism career, Scholting said she never was accused of an inaccuracy.
Silverthorn, meanwhile, said cutting the words "to some extent" from her quote created a misrepresentation.
"Basically, it seems Ronda picked and chose portions of the audio that supported a certain point she wanted to make about me," Silverthorn said. "As I said on the show, there are people that what they care about is the level of education their children are receiving. Thoughts of the union or political things, it's not on their radar."
DCSD's collective bargaining agreement with the teachers union expired in 2012. Board members since have accused union leaders of disseminating inaccurate information about the district.
"I don't believe they're acting in the best interest of our teachers," Silverthorn said. "Then again, what the unions are doing is not the only thing going on right now. I think it is an issue, but it's not the central issue."
Rosen's broadcast angered parents who support change on the board.
"I am dismayed at Ms. Silverthorn's agreement with Rosen," said Kathleen Boyer of Highlands Ranch. "Those soccer moms are her constituents, and she should be listening to them. The fact that she doesn't realize how educated and well-informed we are only shows how out of touch she is with the parents of Douglas County."

|In response to Re: venting a propane hotwater heater
: Help.... I got overlly anxious... I took out the electrical hotwater heater and put in a new propane one. Small problem, the propane co. won't turn it on because it needs to be vented? The elec. one wasn't vented? Anyway, how do you do it? From what I figure, I'll have to cut a hole in my roof? What do I need to vent it, how do I cut a hole in my roof? How do I seal it back, or do I? I'm gifted with two left feet and 10 thumbs, I'm all thumbs. I do need help here cause I'm so tired of hearing my wife gripe about having to take a 'cold' bath... Sheees.. where is her sense of adventure. I know I've heard at least a thousand times.."You shouldn't have take the elec. one out till you had this figured out." I'm desperate here. I have to stay away from my claw hammer, fraid to pick it up.... (just joking) but... her mother is living with us and ........ well......... like I said, I'm desperate!!!!!
What does your wife's cold baths have to do with your ten thumbs, AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE? The propane heats water with an open flame that gets six hundred degrees and the hot exhaust gasses vent directly upward through the roof to allow the heat to exhaust into the atmosphere. Usually installed during new construction, the exhaust vent stack is routed up and out in the plumbing wall, penetrates the roof with a three wall lined metal heat resistant vent pipe, close to the sewer vent stack, and is sealed after shingle installation by using a steel roof jack and roofing tar. Now that you want to install an exhaust vent after the fact, you're asking for a lot of work. Probably better to go back to an electric water heater. If you're determined though, you'll need to plan the routing of the vent through the plumbing wall that the vent stack uses, and strip the wallpaper and drywall from each wall as you go up to the ceiling and to the attic. You'll have to drill a three inch hole through the sole plate and sub floor of the framing of each floor till you get up to the attic. There you run a straight edge up from your vent to mark a point on the inside of the roof. Stay clear of roof joists and rafters. Any time your hot vent stack is closer than four inches to unportected wood, it will need three wall stack to prevent fire. 600 degrees is hot enough to create spontaneous combustion of the wood framing members. Drill a 3/8 hole through the roof and shingles, and stick a coathanger up through it. Go up on the roof and look to see if the coathanger shows that you are clear of trees or other obstructions. Then drill the hole for the three wall roof fire protector, and insert it through the roof. Back outside on the roof lift the roof shingles from an area sixteen inches around your hole. Spread Henry's roof tar. Install an angled roof jack over your vent pipe and nail it onto the wood roof, causing the roof tar to ooze out. Spread more tar. Install shingles. Pray.
There is a way you can exhaust this vent out the side of the house if it's close enough and free of obstructions. Go to the licensed plumbers down the street and ask for some case of beer information. Don't go to the drunk down the street though!!!!! He doesn't have a book on jack, and he's still advising other neighbors on the correct plumbing methods.

This is one of several drawings that Lambert made of Gladys Collins in 1922. As with his oil portrait of Miss Collins, The white glove (cat.85), Lambert shows her as having a pleasant, confident personality with smiling eyes and mouth. Lambert treated her face simply and without an attempt to force the features into the conventional 1920s ideal of beauty. He gave the right hand some prominence, touching the face.
This drawing has been recorded as a study for The white glove , but although the sitter is the same as in The white glove , the drawing is dated a year later than the painting.

It only takes one look at the new Prince O3 racquets for them to make a lasting impression. To say the O3 racquets have a unique look is an understatement. Giant holes, which Prince calls O-Ports, positioned around the racquet head give the racquets a space age look. However, while the look of the racquets may be space age, the concept is relatively simple - larger holes, or O-Ports, allow the strings greater movement. The result is that the strings are able to move more on shots hit near the frame, effectively expanding the sweetspot to areas of the racquet which would normally offer a very firm and low powered response. As with the More racquet line, the O3 racquets only feature grommets at the throat. The grommetless O-Ports make for a very sleek looking design. Prince claims the O-Ports provide an additional aerodynamic benefit of improved racquet head speed and mobility.
The Prince O3 racquet line currently comprises two racquets, the game improvement O3 Silver, and the O3 Red tested here. A third O3 racquet, the O3 Tour (currently used by ATP pro Guillermo Coria) is due out in April of 2005, adding a player's model to the O3 line-up.
To see how the new Prince technologies worked out on the courts, we took the O3 Red for a three-week playtest.
From the baseline our team found a pleasing blend of comfort, power and control with the O3 Red. Quickly finding the groove was Don. "The O3 Red is one of those racquets that you can just pick up and play with. There was no time required to get used to the racquet's weight, balance, etc. First impressions - it was very maneuverable without feeling flimsy. There was still a very solid and dampened feel when hitting groundstrokes. In fact, that was my lasting impression of the O3 Red, too. It was quite comfortable without robbing the racquet of feel. Power was adequate during routine rallies, but I could also go for winners with few control problems. In fact, my best shots came when I really hit through the ball. Spin was easy to generate and helped with control. When I went for short angle or drop shots, I was pleasantly surprised with how the racquet responded." Also enjoying the feel of the O3 red was Granville. "The O3 Red has very nice feel off the ground. A nice 'thwap' sound is what I was greeted with, NOT the 'ping' I have become accustomed to with widebody racquets. Furthermore, I was not overwhelmed with power - I could take full strokes, giving the ball exactly what I wanted to, YET, when necessary I had power on reserve to juice the ball down the line or knock it off the opposite corner from the baseline. I found a good blend of touch and power dictated by the player, not the racquet (or its' designer/engineer). I did not notice the extra 1/4 inch of length until I read it in the specs after playing with it, which was a first."
Wendi had taken a short break from tennis before this playtest and her first time back on court was with the O3 Red. "The O3 Red was very comfortable in my hand, with good weight and feel on contact. I liked the power level, and didn't have any trouble hitting the ball deep into the court. It had a generous sweetspot, and regardless of my time away from playing, I was able to really keep the rallies going. My numerous mis-hits and off-center shots fared OK, thanks to the O3 Red's forgiveness. Although my accuracy wasn't quite there, I was able to hit crosscourt and down the line pretty consistently. I was surprised with my results when I went for a running forehand and my husband was stuck in his tracks. The O3 Red has great directional ability to move the ball around the court. I did try some slice shots but I wasn't having much success. Come to think of it, I'm not too good at slices anyway. After so much time off, I didn't have the finesse to pull them off." Also finding a good level of control was Chris. "I found some nice pop off the ground with the O3 Red. The level of power allowed me to take a good swing at the ball without worrying about over-hitting, yet I didn't have to use much effort to hit deep and with pace. Spin came easily and I preferred hitting topspin rather than slice. When brushing up the back of the ball I found some good bite from the stringbed, making the O3 Red an easy racquet to rally consistently with. I felt like I could hit three-quarter pace balls about 3 feet over the net all day long with this stick. I was also happy with my slice backhand and found good accuracy with the O3 Red. However, the amount of topspin I was finding had me neglecting my slice somewhat."
Enjoying the versatility of the O3 red were (new TW playtester) Jeremy and Josh. Jeremy said, "the Prince O3 Red was very solid from the baseline. The larger sweetspot was very apparent and pleasing to my arm. Even off-center strokes came off the racquet with good pace, while muting the usual elbow jarring shock associated with racquets in the ten ounce range. While my flat and topspin shots had added pace and spin, I did notice that this was at the expense of some accuracy, which is also to be expected with this category of racquet. I did have to pay much more attention when slicing the ball, as the beam width played a role in how quick I could slice through the ball." Josh offered, "this was one of the more refreshing playtests I have had in a while. The O3 responded to just about everything I tried on the court. Whether I was sitting on the baseline or rushing the net, the racquet felt pretty good. I was able to hit deep cross-court groundies and could go for the high risk backhand down the line consistently without hitting wide. More importantly, I didn't over-hit the ball with the O3. When I first picked it up, I thought it would play more like a game improvement racquet than a tweener. I was comfortable letting the racquet do the work, but wasn't afraid to go for a winner in the tighter points."
Our team found plenty of maneuverability, power and comfort at the net. Granville said, "once again I was greeted with the familiar and welcome feel of a performance stick. Solid and maneuverable, with good feel. I was playing very well with this racquet from the first point. Even the drop shots were falling in the zone." Finding good results with his high volley was Chris. "This was a nice racquet to volley with. If the oncoming shot was above the height of the net, the O3 Red was the perfect racquet for punching the volley away. I also found enough power to punch low volleys deep, and the racquet's mobility helped me get down for the tougher volleys. The only time I got in trouble was if I tried to get a little too fancy on a touch volley. I would have liked a little more feel for the dropper and angle, but as long as I kept things simple, the racquet was flawless." Jeremy's experience was similar. "The Prince O3 Red felt very comfortable at the net. Its light weight made it quick on reaction volleys. The large sweetspot was also apparent at net. Most volleys felt crisp and clean and the racquet had adequate power. Touch volleys, however, didn't have as much feel.
Finding a good blend of maneuverability and stability were Don and Wendi. Don said, "needless to say, the O3 Red's maneuverability was a real benefit on volleys. Despite its mobility, though, it held up well against hard-hit balls from my opponent. A bit more weight would make it ideal for me, but I was impressed with the racquet's overall stability at net. Excellent touch too, even with the dampened feel." Wendi also enjoyed her time at net with the O3 Red. "This racquet was great at net! It played very solid and maneuverable. I was able to get some good touch and I was able to get to most balls. I didn't get to the net as much as I would have liked, but when I did my results were positive."
Josh found the O3 Red a solid racquet to volley with. "I was surprised by how easy volleys felt with the O3 Red. I was able to hit more angled winners than usual, and I picked up just about everything hit to my feet. The racquet was easy to maneuver and responded well when I needed to hit an overhead backhand or stretch wide for a passing shot. The large sweetspot was also a factor in my ability to put away winners. Typically, I will frame a few easy volleys into the net if I relax too much, but not with the O3 Red. The racquet also offered good control and some spin potential when I needed to mix things up."
While the O3 red impressed our team from the baseline and the net, it really blew them away on serve. Having a blast was Chris. "I loved serving with this one. I found some extra zip, as noted by my regular hitting partner, and easy access to spin. After a few points I realized that my serve was strong enough for a little serve and volley action, which is a rare occurrence for me in singles. Finding good consistency on flat and spin serves allowed me to mix things up and keep my opponent guessing. I also had the confidence to go for more pace than usual on both the first and second serves, without increasing my unforced error rate. When serving with the O3 Red it felt like I was getting a little more snap. It was almost like I was finding a better angle into the service box." Jeremy agreed, "the serve was the shot that I enjoyed the most with this racquet. I was able to get a lot of pace on my serves. Of course, with the added power I lost a touch of control on flat serves. Because of the racquet's open string pattern, I was able to put a lot of spin on my serves to help with control. When hitting with some spin I was able to put the serve in the corners or into my opponent's body with more accuracy."
Like Jeremy, Don found the most success hitting spin serves with the O3 Red. "I didn't overpower my opponent with serves using the O3 Red, but I rarely missed. I could generate good power, but not the same as with a heavier, more head-light racquet. However, whatever was sacrificed on power (which wasn't much) was made up for in spin. I hit some of my best spin and kick first serves, and my second serve just didn't miss. Best of all, I felt very confident serving with the O3 Red. I could swing as hard on second serves as on first serves, just applying more spin to the ball. I think I double-faulted once during my last 1-1/2 hour session." Even after a long lay-off, Wendi found a good rhythm serving with the O3 Red. "I was pleasantly surprised with the O3 Red on my serves. If there is one area of my game to go, it is usually my serving game. After missing six months, I wasn't sure how it was going to go. My serves were, for the most part, in play with good pace and consistency. The O3 Red felt so good in the air, I was able to generate good swing speed. I did utilize some topspin, and the O3 Red seemed to really grab the ball and give it some movement."
Finding some added heat on his serve was Granville. "Here is where I felt some benefit above and beyond the racquet I compete with. I was placing the ball very well, but did sense I had a bit more power. It felt like the racquet moved through the air a bit faster, and with less resistance." Also having success on serve was Josh. "The O3 was an easy racquet to serve with. I mixed up my serves more since I wasn't hitting big first serves, but the control and placement was solid. I could hit slice serves to the deuce court just as effectively as a kicker out wide to the ad side. While the O3 didn't offer as much spin potential as I had hoped, I was able to generate enough movement to keep my opponent honest."
Again, comfort and maneuverability were standout features of the O3 Red when it came to returns. Our team continued to enjoy the large sweetspot and controlled power of the racquet. First up were Chris and Wendi. Chris enjoyed the maneuverable feel of the racquet on the return. "The racquet's mobility was a plus on the return. I found this one easy to maneuver, and for the most part I was able to return aggressively. I had good success blocking the ball back, too. When hitting the ball flat, I found the O3 Red to be a real point and shoot racquet. I found my targets well and had better than usual results punching returns low during doubles play." Wendi also found the racquet maneuverable and was able to keep returns out in front, making good contact. "On my returns, the O3 served me well. I was getting great contact and I was able to dish out some deep returns. I was especially pleased with my backhand returns down the line. It is very much a comfort racquet, with a great dampened feel. I wasn't really attacking my opponent's serve, but I was definitely holding my ground."
Both Don and Jeremy had the best results when being aggressive and taking a cut at the return. Don said, "the O3 Red was fairly versatile on serve returns for me. However, I had better results when taking some backswing. Fortunately, the racquet is maneuverable enough to allow for this against most serves. My attempts to block back returns often resulted in balls that were short. Here again, if I focused on hitting through the ball I could generate decent pace. Against second serves or slower first serves, I could take a healthy swing and hit an offensive return." Jeremy offered, "it was harder to block a fast serve back with this one, most likely due to the overall weight of the racquet. When I was able to get fully prepared for the return, it was very easy put the ball back in play with loads of power. And, I didn't have to worry about being off center on my return because of the large sweetspot."
Josh also preferred to stay aggressive on the return. "Serve returns felt good with this racquet. I was able to pick up more first serves than usual because of the lighter weight of the racquet. My returns weren't as deep as they could have been, but as with my serves and groundstrokes, each return was controlled. I was also able to return serves hit wide with the flick of my wrist. However, I struggled a bit on the backhand side. I had more success shortening my swing and picking up the ball early rather than slicing my returns. My returns had a tendency to float when I sliced them, which made me susceptible to serve-and-volleyers. Granville found good results on both offensive and defensive returns. "Here is where I felt what I'm calling 'power on demand.' If hitting out I could smack the ball with a full swing and put it where I wanted. If at all defensive, I could block the ball back with confidence that there was enough stick to: 1) get it over the net, and 2) place it where I could stay alive and have a play on my next shot."
Heading into the playtest our team had the general opinion that the O3 Red was a racquet for intermediate players. However, it proved to be a worthy stick for even our advanced playtesters - impressing them from all areas of the court. Add that to the fact that our lowest rated playtester also really enjoyed hitting with this one, and the O3 Red's versatility really comes to the surface. While there is no racquet that's perfect for everyone, there are certain racquets that offer performance across levels. The O3 Red is such a racquet. No matter what your level, if you're looking for mobility, comfort and some controllable power, you should hit the courts for a playtest with the O3 Red.
