Awesome Shoes
"I was really excited to get these. They fit a little snug at first but because they are leather, they did stretch after some wear. The first thing I noticed, was how comfortable they are.

LFR6 - Game 5 - Three-Headed Monster
Steve Dangle
January 27 2013 01:07PM
The Rangers expose some serious problems on the Leafs by totally out-classing them. Only five games in, but what now?
Interesting point about spending $22M for quality players like Nash/Gabby/Richards vs $15M for Phaneuf/Komi/Liles.
The reason why we have to play AHLers for 30min a night is right there in the salaries. We have too many overpaid underperforming defenders in long term contracts. And I include Phaneuf, granted he is the best of the three but he is not good value for a $6.5M dman.
You pretty much said it without uttering the words, Steve. An experienced shut down dman to play with Phaneuf and at least try and keep those big lines at bay. Plus, as bad as the goaltending has been over the years with the leafs, I wouldn't say it's been quite as bad as the defense in front of them (either by a bad system, bad players, or players playing a system that doesn't fit their game).
You've got 3 decent forward lines, 2 goalies that can stop a puck and give you a chance to win. If you can get some defensive help the team won't be in bad shape at all, imo.
The current players are simply not good enough to get the job done. Yet some of them make big money to produce very little results We will not be able to win with Phaneuf and Kessel. They are not the type of players that will win you a Stanley Cup
Too many mistakes were made leading up to the assembly of this team.
The first year JFJ was GM , he got rid of Pat Quinn, brought in Paul Maurice Then he resigned both Kaberle and McCabe when a little known GM in Boston named Peter Chiarelli threw money at a free agent named Chara. What would the leaf defense look like with Chara in the line up? Come on were the Toronto Maple Leafs the richest team in Hockey, but we can for the life of me see the forest for the trees.
No one should be running this team but the very very best hockey man money can buy !
You are stealing Healy's comments from HINIC about not putting Kostka's against the Rangers first line. And so obviously this reasoining must be wrong because I have learned from other bloggers that Healy is never correct nor has anything valuable to say

Rough Edges
"There shoes are cute, especially if you have small feet. It looks good for casual wear, but because the shoe is POORLY made, I doubt it would be comfortable enough. The sides of the opening of the shoe is really rough, and it not only rubs against my skin, but it scratches! It seems like the manufacturers glued the edges of the fabric so that it wont fray, but they didn't clean it up.That's the problem with buying shoes online. You never know how the quality is, until you try it on. Returning this one."

One war is done, another is winding down and the calls to cut the deficit are deafening. The U.S. military, a beneficiary of robust budgets for more than a decade, is coming to grips with a new reality — fewer dollars.
The election accelerated an already shifting political dynamic that next year will pair a second-term Democratic president searching for spending cuts with tea partyers and conservatives intent on preserving lower tax rates above all else, even if it means once unheard-of reductions in defense.
President Barack Obama and Congress have just a few weeks to figure out how to avert the automatic cuts to defense and domestic programs totaling $110 billion next year. Those reductions are part of the so-called fiscal cliff of expiring Bush-era tax cuts and the across-the-board cuts that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has warned would be devastating to the military.
All sides are trying to come up with a deficit-cutting plan of $1.2 trillion over 10 years. Any solution that might emerge from the high-stakes negotiations before the Jan. 2 deadline likely would include some reductions in the military budget, which has nearly doubled in the last decade to half a trillion dollars. That amount doesn't include the hundreds of billions of dollars spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Projected defense spending over the next 10 years was expected to grow to $640 billion.
In the parlance of Willie Sutton, who supposedly said he robbed banks because that's where the money was, the military budget is where the dollars are for Washington negotiators.
"It is a big piggybank," said former Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson, a Republican who along with Democrat Erskine Bowles had recommended $4 trillion in budget cuts over a decade, including deep reductions in defense, as part of a special presidential commission in December 2010.
"If you can't get in there and start getting stuff out of there when you have a defense budget of 740 billion bucks — and the defense budget of every major country on earth, 17 of them, including Russia and China, is $540 billion combined, who is joshing who?" said Simpson. "That's madness, madness."
One possible starting point is the recommendation of Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, who indicated earlier this year that he would be willing to accept additional defense cuts of $10 billion a year as part of any solution to avoid the across-the-board cuts.
"I think it's got to be all one package, and defense has to participate. Everything has to be on the table," said former Sen. Sam Nunn, a predecessor of Levin at the helm of Armed Services who also insisted that the rising cost of Social Security and Medicare needs to be addressed.
Nunn pointed out that former Defense Secretary Bob Gates and retired Adm. Mike Mullen, who was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have said the greatest threat to national security is the nation's fiscal crisis.
In past negotiations, Congress and the White House had considered changes in the military's TRICARE health program, which costs more than $50 billion and has exploded into the biggest entitlement program for the Pentagon. Working-age military retirees have only seen small increases in their premium costs as their friends in Congress have fought any changes.
The Pentagon budget already is facing a 10-year reduction of $487 billion in projected spending, the result of the budget agreement reached by Obama and Congress in August 2011.

RIT is helping shape the future of energy technologies applied to transportation. Leading this effort is the Center for Sustainable Mobility, begun in 2006 with a $4M grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to assess the environmental and economic impact of different alternative fuel and propulsion technologies on the U.S. public transportation system. Today, we also examine emerging fuel technologies and their applications—biodiesel, ethanol, fuel cells, hydrogen and combinations of these—to determine their impacts on existing systems and forecast requirements for sustainable future transportation systems and infrastructure. In addition, we develop technologies for optimal life-cycle design, management, and modernization of large equipment systems by maximizing the value of existing systems and designing advanced capabilities in new systems while managing life-cycle costs. We partner with industry, local and state governments, and the Department of Defense to conduct comprehensive research, applied development, testing, and field implementation. RIT's goal is to become a regional center for sustainable transportation and systems modernization, becoming the preferred choice for organizations seeking assistance in these areas.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Peach Days activities will take place this week in Ferron. The Ferron City council has been busy putting the finishing touches on the celebration. At their recent city council meeting they finalized plans for the pigs for the greased pig race. They will be getting the pigs from Dennis Worwood. The Baptist church members will be helping with the kids games and a sawdust money hunt will also take place. The breakfast will be held in the church park on Saturday morning and Councilperson Melinda MECCAriello reminded the council of the need for a large dumpster for garbage to accommodate the breakfast crowd. The ATV jamboree attendees will also be attending the Friday night dinner. This includes 85 additional people who are registered for the jamboree. Rod Moore will entertain at the dinner on Friday night. The council also suggested that next year they have a concert in the park series. A new sound system will be arriving soon which should help with those types of musical activities.
Randy Nielson, from the fire department reported they had received a grant from homeland security for the purchase of a chain saw. The saw will include a gauge which stops before trusses are cut in dealing with a fire. He also said the new truck will be here sometime in September. This new truck will replace the gallon mini. They will install the foam in the new truck. The fireworks will be here and ready for Friday night at Millsite Reservoir at dusk.
Mayor Gil Bowden said he has been in contact with the fire department requesting their help with the Peach Days celebration. Nielson also said they have been working on the landscaping around the new fire station. The council discussed programs available which will help furnish trees for the new fire station and the council will look into obtaining these trees.
The council discussed the fee waiver request for the use of the arena. The 4-H requested a waiver in light of the work they perform to improve the arena. This year they have installed a fence. Councilman Gordon Bennett said this is a fair exchange but the council needs documentation on file of what services the 4-H performs each year.
The council has become aware that some Ferron residents have been watering in the daytime hours. Ferron has an ordinance which states no watering on Wednesday and Sunday.
It was mentioned that people on the bench have no water pressure at times and maybe next year they will have to split up the watering days on a north/south split.
Another option discussed was the connecting of a new eight inch line to the system from the new irrigation system.
The council reminds residents to conserve water and obey the watering ordinance which states no watering on Wednesday and Sunday.
No watering during the hours of 10 a.m.- 6 p.m.
The council heard a proposal to begin the process of the annexation of some property into the city limits. The council agreed to advertise, and send letters to those involved and begin the process of annexation.
The council agreed to begin the process for an increase in the franchise tax which will result in an increased revenue of approximately $17,000 each year. A public hearing will need to be held on the increase of the franchise tax.
The Mayor discussed the places where the city has double coverage of liability insurance. The city covers an item like the water tanks which are already covered by insurance from the special service district. Overall duplications in costs was estimated between $2,200 and $2,700 per year. The council will look into avoiding these costs.
Ferron City is in need of temporary office help to fill in as needed. Michelle Christensen and Valarie Winn were hired to help fill this need. They will also help fill in at crossing guard as needed.
The council approved Mayor Bowden as the voting representative to the Utah League of Cities and Towns business session.
The council looked at city property values. Residential property in Ferron is valued more highly than commercial property. The mayor has done some research concerning lots in the city and the prices they have sold for in the last few years. It was agreed that the city use .67 cents per square foot as the reference point and to give a break for improvements which could bring it down to .59 cents per square foot.
Ferron City has been discussing the charging of impact fees in lieu of water shares for new city water connections. This has been discussed because water shares are difficult to find and purchase. The council discussed the matter but could come to no conclusion and they will check into the matter further. The city has no guarantee that the 300 shares they lease from the irrigation company will always be there, so it's hard to add additional dwellings to the line without a guarantee of a water share. Mayor Bowden mentioned that a state survey is being conducted and will soon come to Emery and Carbon counties. The survey is making sure water users are not using more than their allotments.
Bennett commented that with the pressurized irrigation system, the area is using 20 percent less water than before and watered until Nov. 1 last year. Also 5,000 more acres can be watered with the new sprinkling system than before.
Mayor Bowden said they will discuss what the options are with a water attorney. There are people waiting to build who have no water shares. Councilperson Jo Sansevero said we are advocating growth, but yet people cannot build because they don't have water shares and the situation needs to be evaluated to allow growth without jeopardizing the city and its water.
Mayor Bowden said that in conversations he was told that Millsite was never designed to spill and it was underdesigned. The state engineer reminds everyone that any water belongs to the state. The Mayor said it boils down to hitting the smaller cities to trim water usage to cater to the bigger cities taking the water. The Mayor has a meeting scheduled to become better educated on the water matters for the city.
Ferron City just finished being audited and received all good marks. No letters and no black marks were issued. The auditors will present the audit to the council at a later date. They said they were very impressed with the fiscal state of Ferron and complemented those involved.
MECCAriello said the bids for sidewalk and curb and gutter will be opened on Sept. 7 at 10 a.m.
Councilman Bennett announced that he only has one more meeting and he will be resigning from the council. He listed job, family and church obligations as increasing in demand and he will not be able to fulfill the remainder of his term. This vacated position will be filled by the council who will advertise the vacancy as soon as it becomes effective.
Sansevero said they are being encouraged to work on the Ferron master plan. In the meeting she went to Huntington, Cleveland and Elmo are being listed as industrial, and Castle Dale as government, retail and sports and Ferron as recreation with the mountains and desert. "Should our master plan reflect promoting recreation. Should we improve the park facilities, encourage family reunions, motel and restaurant accommodations?" asked Sansevero.
It was agreed that a plan is needed and that Ferron does have good potential for developments around recreation. Sanseveros has a copy of the Moab master plan and they can look at it for ideas. Bennett also mentioned that agriculture should be part of the plan as well because Ferron farmers are working on their hay and selling it to a man who compresses it for sale overseas. There are several farmers involved with selling the hay to the man in Enterprise.
The next Ferron City council meeting will be held on Sept. 22 at 7 p.m.

Comments: I have wide feet and have been waiting for a shoe with big toe box, but one that still rides low to the
ground. The fit and stability are great and I feel like I can get around the court really well with these shoes. Can't comment on the
wear, but after 3 weeks, they are holding up pretty well. Nice shoe, Babolat!
From: Kevin, 5/15
Comments: The shoes were comfortable when I first wore them. It took about 20 minutes of play before they
conformed to my foot. I ordered a pair and the straps to the tongue of the shoe tore off. I returned them to TW and they sent me
a new pair the following week. I wore the replacement pair for about 10 minutes around the house and one of the straps tore off
again. I had cut the other straps off and played in them. They were fine and the straps to the tongue were not needed. So far the
shoes have been fine.
From: John, 4/15
Comments: Shoes are comfortable right out of the box. For me, after a couple of sets they tend to get a little warm.
They could use more ventilation.
From: Scott, 3/15
Comments: Great fit right out of the box, no need for break in. However, I do have one complaint -- the shoes are
very hot after two sets or so. Not quite enough ventilation.
From: Avery, 3/15
Comments: Awesome shoe! Very comfortable and stable. Excellent cushioning.
From: Anjan, 2/15
Comments: Without a doubt, the most comfortable court shoe I have ever worn. I could literally feel the additional
spring with my movements around the court. Bye bye K Swiss, New Balance, Prince, and the rest. There's a new love in my life.
After playing with one pair, I ordered another 3!
From: Gerry, 1/15
Comments: Love everything about these shoes! They are comfortable and offer great cushion and bounce. The
only thing I am not sure is if they can really live up to the six months guarantee. So far, I kind of doubt it. I only play doubles
about three to four times per week. Two months into it, the wear is obvious.
From: Jack, 12/14
Comments: Coming from the Asics Gel Solutions, I found these to have a super cushy, comfortable feel as soon as I
put them on. At first I was concerned the additional weight might slow me down, but on court I did not notice it at all. The best
thing about this shoe is the nice wide toe box, which is great for my bunions. Overall, I'm very happy with these, and plan to stick
with this shoe for the long-term. A couple things that I think could be improved upon: 1) I experienced occasional minor toe
jamming with these, I had to keep tightening the laces at the top to stop my foot from sliding forward. 2) The shoe upper was so
soft it lacked stability at times. 3) I found my Asics to have better cushioning in the ball of foot area. I didn't find these to be 1/2
size large. I'm normally 11 and ordered a 10 1/2 which was too small.
From: J, 11/14
Comments: Just got them and played once, but looking forward to long lasting soles. Good room in toe box. Priced
well! Thanks!
From: Ron, 11/14
Comments: The worst shoes I've ever played tennis in. They gave me planter fasciitis that I'm still struggling with
10 months later. I complained via email to Babolat and never received a response. I would never buy Babolat or recommend their
shoes or racquets to anyone. I think their products are gimmicky, cheap quality, and grossly overhyped.
From: Brett, 10/14
Comments: Great shoe for a wider foot. I broke my big toe playing football and had a hard time finding a
comfortable shoe. Had these for 4 weeks now and play for 2 hours 3 times a week. Great comfort and stability, the first time I had
no pain even after several games.
From: Steve, 9/14
Comments: Amazingly comfortable with no break-in needed. I'll be buying another pair for when these eventually
wear out.
From: Andy, 9/14
Comments: Ordered these and a pair of Babolat SFX (Blue), last Thursday and received them today, 8/12/14. I have
wide feet, bunions, and a high instep. I live in North Florida and play 2-3 times a week on a hard court. While the New Balances
and the Babolats are both good looking shoes, the Babolat SFX won out over the NBs for me. The arch support and the overall
cushioning in the Babolat's were better than the NBs. Also, the toe box was wider in the SFX. Overall, the SFX is a better fit for me
even though the NBs are a 2E. I could not feel the weight difference as the NBs are a tad lighter. I'm keeping the SFX shoes and
returning the NBs.
From: Tony, 8/14
Comments: I never got to play in these, but just tried them on. They're comfortable right out of the box like other
Babolat shoes I've worn. The toe box was huge on me and I have medium width feet. I also couldn't deal with the EVA type plastic
cage up front. Bring back leather shoes!
From: Don, 7/14
Comments: Better than average toe durability. Nice, wide toebox. Extremely comfort-oriented, but still adequately
supportive. I use a custom insole for added arch support. The downside is poor ventilation. The TW testers aren't playing in deep
south heat and humidity. I am in SC and I'm here to tell you that this shoe not only doesn't ventilate air properly, it will also hold
on to sweat until it starts coming out of the top of the shoe. This shoe also rides pretty high, which some people won't like, but
that's because of all the extra cushioning. Good shoe.
From: Eric, 7/14
Comments: Good arch support. Nice width if you don't like a narrow fit. The tongue stays in place. All-around
excellent performer.
From: Mark, 7/14
Comments: I have wide feet, and these shoes fit them like gloves. I played with them for about 3 hours so far.
Very stable with great traction. Changing direction is noticeably easier compared to my previous shoes. No wear and tear yet. A+
so far.
From: Matt, 7/14
Comments: Great shoes, I already bought 5 pairs. Seems they are making this kind any longer. I play tennis 7 days
a week, and they last me about 3 to 4 months, but I do play up to 4 hours sometimes a day. Love them.
From: Carlos, 7/14
Comments: I just received these shoes and instantly feel the comfort as soon as I put them on. A half size smaller is
the perfect fit -- fits like a glove with a little room. Now I need to see how the durability is on the soles.
From: Don, /14
Comments: I had been wearing NB shoes that have been discontinued and tried wide Nikes, including custom ones
to accommodate my very wide feet. Finally I tried the SFX and played two hours today in new pair. The shoes started out OK and
got more comfortable as match progressed. The best shoe ever. Just ordered two more pairs for my summer rotation. Thank you.
From: Zev, 5/14
Comments: Fantastic fit, right out of the box! Got a half size smaller as recommended. They fit perfectly.
From: Bruce, 5/14
Comments: Very wide shoe. I have a medium width foot and bought this wide shoe to accommodate two insoles,
which it does well. (Factory insole on top of Sorbothane Classic Gel insole for superior impact absorption.) I have to tie the
toebox laces very tight to prevent swimming, but it works better than most for two insoles. The factory insole is literally the most
cushioned factory insole I have ever seen, comparable to a $15 after-market insole. That's why I kept it. The laces are difficult to
get tight enough but not over-tight, but once I find the right level, the shoes are excellent. The plush feel of this shoe protects
my feet and body.
From: Michael, 5/14
Comments: Best shoes I've had so far. Great stability; the tongue stays locked in place, and my feet dont feel
cramped. All around good for tennis!
From: Mark, 5/14
Comments: Roomy, comfortable and excellent durability. I have a 2E wide foot and had been wearing New Balance
shoes exclusively. New Balance makes a good shoe but the durability is not adequate for hard court play. It is nice to have an
alternative shoe. Hope Babolat does not change the design.
From: Robert, 4/14
Comments: Great shoe! I moved from New Balance due to a wide foot and these fit great!
From: Dale, 4/14
Comments: Extremely comfortable shoes. I wore the Asics Resolutions for years, a great performance shoe, but I
starting experiencing minor knee pain from playing on hard courts 8 to 10 hours per week. Switched to the Babolat SFX, ordered a
half size larger to accommodate thicker Thoro tennis socks and haven't had knee pain since.
From: Russ, 3/14
Comments: I wore New Balance (10 EE) tennis shoes prior to trying the SFX. I initially ordered a 9 1/2 SFX since I
read they fit 1/2 size larger. Got them from TW. Too small. Returned for size 10 which fits great. These shoes are very
comfortable, durable and stylish. These are a great performance shoe. I just ordered my second pair to rotate with during the
summer. Highly recommended!
From: James, 2/14
Comments: After using these shoes for a few tennis sessions, I realized that my knee problems were almost gone
thanks to the great insole and shock damper in the heel.
From: Torb, 2/14
Comments: Great shoes, very comfortable with my wide feet. I had them for almost a year and they are stlll good.
Not so crazy about the color though.
From: Tarek, 1/14
Comments: I'm a 4.0 and weigh 190 pounds and these shoes are terrific. I bought them after reading about them
on this site. I always wore New Balance for my wide feet but found them to be pretty ordinary. Then I bought other brands to wear
with thin socks but they were never as comfortable. These ones are perfect even though I'm a little uncomfortable with the color!
They play well on all surfaces.
From: Mike, 12/13
Comments: Love these shoes. Wore them for 8 months. They are now getting thin in the front sole from a lot of
play, but the tops still look new. What I like the most is that when you tie these, they stay tight. I thought at first that they looked
plasticky and too blue, but I have got more positive comments on these shoes than any others I have ever worn. I was wearing
New Balance before for their wide shoes. These, although not labeled for wide, are a perfect fit and are better than New Balance
for comfort and fit.
From: Ross, 11/13
Comments: I really enjoyed this shoe very much and provided a lot of comfort and maneuverability. Don't forget to
get half a size smaller. Really liked these but kinda want to see how the Nike Vapor 9 Tours are and see where it takes me.
From: Justice, 7/13
Comments: A very comfortable shoe! They do run "roomy" so you might even try a half size under your normal size.
I wear custom orthotics and found it best to place them on top of the shoe insert that is supplied.
From: Bob, 6/13
Comments: So far so good. I've been wearing K-Swiss and New Balance for a long time, but made the switch to the
Babolat SFX shoes about two months ago on the recommendation of a friend. They fit my feet nice, not squished like a lot of
European footwear. I found they run true to size or a little smaller than advertised. The big attention-getters are the 6 month
guarantee, the ample support of the midsole, and the self-centering tongue -- .yes it actually stays on the bridge of my foot!
Imagine that? There are flat elastic bands that run from the tongue down each side of the shoe and they work too! The shoe is a
little pricy, but worth it to me. I'm 190 lbs and a good mover, these shoes are taking the punishment so far.
From: Anthony, 6/13
Comments: I love these shoes! I had been wearing Adidas shoes for the last 5 years, but these are so much more
comfortable and the sole doesn't wear anywhere near as much. My only fault would be a small lack of grip when running along the
baseline, but it is rare and won't affect you that much.
From: Andy, 6/13
Comments: This is a good shoe for people with wide feet and for anyone who burns through outsoles fast. I have
tried Nike Courballistec 4.3 (way too narrow, but good durability), Asics Gel Resolution 4 (too narrow, but excellent stability), and
the New Balance 996 (worst durability). This shoe is comfy, supportive and wide enough for my EE feet. Plus, it is holding up well
under my 220lb weight. I bought 2 pairs!
From: Eric, 5/13
Comments: I bought these shoes last season after a tennis magazine review. I'm a 9.5 EE supinator and have been
using NB's because they carry EE, but I have not been satisfied with he durability. Despite everyone commenting that the SFX run
big I had to move up to a size 10 to get they proper fit. When you 1st put them on they tend to feel tighter, but after 20 min of
play so it seems that the material stretches some. The cushioning is great and the durability of the sole is much better than the
NB's, yet the sole is still flexible enough. I only wish they were a touch lighter. I'd recommend them mostly because when I'm
wearing them I don't think about my feet at all, I just think about my game. I also tried the Head Speed Pro shoe because they
were rumored to run wide but also had to go up to size ten in them. They were not as good and were too stiff and maybe not
enough arch support.
From: Tom, 4/13
Comments: Love this shoe. FInally found a shoe that fits me well and feels great. Please do not change a thing on
this shoe. Fits my wide feet extremely well. I'm ordering a backup pair.
From: John, 3/13
Comments: I gravitate toward a wider fit shoe, so I bought this one based on the TW review. The width was correct
as noted, but I didn't pay attention to the word "roomy" enough. "Roomy" was not wide enough for me. This shoe has a lot of
room above the toe box. I did not like that at all. I am not sure if this was the reason I felt as though my heal was lower than the
ball of my feet. I returned them only because of this reason.
From: Keith, 3/13
Comments: A great overall shoe and very comfortable. I am a junior player and they fit my game and have a great
style. They are more durable that the Babolat Propulse 3s. Fantastic shoe!
From: Kacey, 2/13
Comments: I purchased these after reading the reviews and recommendations for wide-footers. I have flat feet and
an ankle condition, so buying sneakers and shoes is always a challenge. I also have experienced problems with NB tennis shoes,
particularly the 1005s, in that my left toes were getting bruised from the toe box after playing. So far I've had no such issues with
these Babolats. They are extremely comfortable and roomy. The bottom sole has pretty hard rubber-like material, so I'm sure
they are durable, and the cushy insole inside masks any harshness. If I had one criticism so far, it would be the mild ankle
support. Otherwise, these are great shoes and I think I'll start using them as my main kicks.
From: A.Y., 12/12
Comments: After a bad experience with the Nike 2K11, which felt like rocks on the bottom of my feet, I was steered
to this shoe by a friend. My summer season was saved! They are very comfortable out of the box, and a good fit for my wide feet
(EE). Good performance shoe. I've had them since July and the 6 month durability might get tested if the weather in the Mid
Atlantic is as warm as last year.
From: L.C., 10/12
Comments: I love this shoe! Get a half size smaller than the Propulse 3, and wear thick socks. These shoes have
great comfort, cushioning, and stability.
From: Squirrel, 10/12
Comments: These things run huge in size! In the Propulse 3 I take an 11.5, in these I ordered an 11 and even with
the thickest Thorlo's these SFX are too big!
From: Anon, 10/12
Comments: Although these shoes look bizarre and I am not sure why Babolat thinks we want
to look to like Frankenberry while we play tennis, they are comfortable and durable. They
have a very beefed up insert with memory foam. They have really great lateral support. The
toe box on these and the Propulse 3 seems baggy to me, but all in all if you don't mind
looking like you are a giant tennis playing blueberry you will like these shoes.
From: Ted, 8/12
Comments: Great for wide feet (I am EE). Most Babolats I wear a size 11 or more. These are a true 10 1/2 wide.
Super comfortable yet light, and decent longevity.
From: Jeff, 7/12
Comments: Very solid shoe doesn't flex like the Prince T22, I need a wide shoe and this is pretty wide.
Feels a bit hard, but performance is awesome.
From: Jack, 6/12
Comments: These shoes look great and they are comfy. They feel more durable than the Babolat
Propulse's, but as always Babolat has sizing issues. I bought these before the sizing recommendation was posted and
had to gve them to my doubles partner.
From: JC, 6/12
Comments: Not good for orthotics because when I remove the insert, which is extra thick, my orthotics
are thinner so ends up there is too much height in the toe box. Seems like a high quality shoe, so If you do not use
orthotics then you should try this shoe.
From: Clay, 6/12
Comments: This shoe is a better more stable and durable shoe than the Propulse line, runs half size too
big for me, color is even cooler than it looks in pictures. Sole seems more durable but not as durable as Prince, Asics or
Barricades. Babolat always seems to wear faster than many I have tried. Still a very comfortable and fashionable shoe.
From: Jesus, 6/12
Comments: I have been a loyal Nike customer for many years when it comes to my tennis shoes, but I
recently tried on and bought this Babolat shoe and was very impressed. The new Rafa shoe seemed tight and stiff
where this Babolat shoe demonstrated great feel and comfort right out of the box. Most Babolat shoes in the past were
also very ugly and this blue shoe is the first that looks cool as well as feeling great, and in contrast the new Nike shoes
appear to have no clue what they are doing from a color and/or looks standpoint. My only concern is how these
Babolat's will hold up over time, but for now I would encourage you to try on these shoes before buying the more high
priced Nike's.
From: Jack, 6/12
Comments: TW Review! So awesome! The fit is perfect! So smooth when on the court! Not insanely
durable but it has a 6-month guarantee! Let's go!!!
From: Anon, 6/12
Comments: This is a great shoe! It is very comfortable and looks cool too.
From: Tyler, 6/12
Comments: Very comfy shoe, runs a half size too big. A little unstable
in the ankle but otherwise very light shoes.
From: Javier, 4/12
Comments: Very comfortable. If you are between sizes go with the smaller size. Wide toe box, too wide
for me, but
may be just right for others.

A low deck 350 wont take a 4 inch crank(that I am aware of) The 3.875 crank just barely fits(unless there is a new crank Im not aware of.So,401 from some GM 350 blocks is the max. The 4 inch crank goes into a 400 block to make a 434(thats what I have)
Ive been trying to price out a boosted engine myself. So far I dont see building an LS 5.3(cheapest core) that makes decent power for less than 12k
some members here can piece meal used turbos for a lot less.I dont see how
hope someone will step up with a full parts list???
The block was a good running motor and when I took it apart the main caps got misplaced somewhere. When I get the block back Im gonna take it somewhere else and have it done. Seems like this guy dont feel like messin with it. Not good for buisness
As for 4" stroke in a 350 block- it can be done but requires extensive clearancing and possible welding after you grind into water jackets.
Chevy 383 Roller Build (cont.....)
I wanted to go back through this thread and make some observations and comments about questions that have been raised......
1. Less side-loading of the piston skirt against the cylinder wall would seem to me to lessen friction and allow more horsepressure at the flywheel.
2. A longer rod will require a shorter piston compression height, allowing more room for the counterweights of a stroker crank to clear the underside of the piston at bottom dead center. The more counterweight you can use, the less Mallory Metal you will have to use to balance the reciprocating assembly. (Mallory is expensive to buy and expensive to drill the counterweights and insert the heavy metal).
The main disadvantage to longer rods, in my opinion, has been the fact that the wrist pin gets pushed up into the oil ring space and you must use another rail to prevent snagging of the oil ring ends in the wrist pin hole. It just smacks of a band-aid fix to me and adds the complexity of more parts to go wrong in the long run.
Lately though, some piston manufacturers have stepped up to the plate with a concentrated ring stack that allows the wrist pin to be clear of the oil ring groove. I'm stoked over that and no longer have any issues with using a 6 inch rod in a SBC build. If I were to build a 383 tomorrow, I'd probably use forged Probes or other quality pistons that feature a concentrated ring pack along with a Scat cast steel crank and 6 inch Scat I-beam rod. David Vizard has taken 550+ hp out of the Scat cranks and rods for years now with not a single failure according to what he writes. Good enough for me.
400 small block Chevys came from the factory with a very short rod, 5.565 inch. I'm sure the GM engineers took side-loading into consideration when they designed the motor, but its intended use in station wagon and large family sedans (low rpm operation) made it worthwhile to use the shorter rods to clear the cam and oil pan rail.
As I stated above, the main advantage of a longer rod for me, at this point, is to make it easier and cheaper to internally balance the motor and to reduce side-scuffing of the piston skirt against the cylinder wall.
Now, you may come back to me and say that the assembly you're purchasing is already balanced. BULLHOCKEY. Get all your parts together and take them to the machine shop to be balanced. TRUST NOBODY.

Longer than 6 inch? Yeah, there are SBC rods available up to 6.5 inches, but I suspect the custom pistons to use them would be very expensive. Personally, I don't know because I have never had the need for 6.5 rods because I have never built a 1,000 hp SBC.
I-beam rods will work fine in most any motor that any of us put together for street use or occasional drag strip blasts and generally are less expensive than H-beam rods, which will hold together better in high-hp applications.
Pressed pins are the norm for street/strip motors. Floating pins might be a better choice where the motor will be disassembled frequently, like in a circle track motor or Competition class drag racing motor. And, the lock rings used for floating pins adds complexity to the mix, something else to go wrong (like popping out of the pin bore or breaking and wrecking the piston and cylinder, for instance).
Shot peening will add roughly 100% strength to the resistance to cracking. Cracks generally form on the outer surface of a part rather than further inside the casting or forging. Peening closes the "skin" of the material and discourages the formation of cracks. Polishing is another way to help prevent the formation of cracks in the outer skin of parts. First you smooth and polish the part, then you shot peen the part.
I very highly recommend the following 2 products.....

Tech Inspector, you are the man, I wish I had you in my auto tech class back in high school. You should be a teacher. Anyway that software seems ok but I dont see how it could give real results. Has anyone tried it before?? My machinist told me that Id be better off getting a different block. He said 130 bucks to line bore it. I cant find a block for under 400 dollars. He also said that making it a 4 volt would make it weaker and that all the racing guys are using 2 bolt. Im serious when I said Im wanting to go somewhere else. They do good work there but seems like sometimes he dont want to do the work. I mean If I want to pay for something then do it. Unless its impossible. Oh well I gotta take my roller block in the basement up to him and get the other block back with no caps. He told me they throw the blocks away with no caps but u couldnt pay me to throw it away. Ill keep it and find someone to line bore it.
Thanks guys

That is listings for junk yards in your area,just plug in your zip code.96 to 2000 truck 350's is the engine of choice.There are tons of them out there for a good bare block.The old tech was OEM 4 bolt blocks had a cracking problem on the outside bolts,but that has been resolved yrs ago.
All the yrs we have run 9.90 in 2350lb car each being hit hard with a tranny brake,there hasn't been a overwhelming number of engines we used aftermarket main caps.Do you need splayed caps??. I don't think so.

Your best bet is to find a good running 350 that has been well maintained and has very minimal bore wear. Then all you need is a honing, maybe freshen the decks and you're good to go. While you're looking for engines keep an eye open for Vortec engines, LT1's, and maybe a 5.3L LS engine. They'll all pop up for less than $500 occasionally and make a GREAT start for a hot street build.
Well I have a 94 350 roller I am going to take up the machine shop so he can get started on that. Cylinder walls look awsome. The hole block does. But thanks for the link, thats wasome , I never knew there was a site like that. What vehicles had a 400 sbc so I can try and find one and a chevy big block
Last edited by ChevroletSS; 12-27-2012 at 11:42 AM.
70s impalas came with 454s as an option. Also most trucks. 400 engine is no big deal. I would not spend time hunting one. A New block is not as crazy priced as you may think. Same goes for the big block. Once it needs line bored on the crank and cam well you covered at least half the cost of a good after market block from world of products or dart.
I dont know where you get your blocks but any aftermarket block to me is outrageous. Summit sells a gen1 4 bolt for I think 6 or 700 and thats kinda high for me. I would buy one from summit if I had the money cause they make them extra thick but dam only way I would buy an after market block is if I was rich or building an all out race motor. I always wanted a 396 big block and never could find one or any big block for that matter.
You can usally put an fmu on the turbo that is mechanical for under 100 bucks. Needs a return style fuel system. For big power you will need to reprogram the computer to take boost. The gm sensor package already reads boost so its really just some slick programming. Or at least the new map sensor. So that just leaves manifolds which are usally factory with the ends/cats cut off and piping welded up or a turbo flange welded right onto the end of the manifolds. Charge pipe should be aluminum and exhuast all mild steel you may need to beat it around and do some difficult welding so mild steel pipe is best. You can buy the flanges off ebay or jegs for under 20 bucks. Silicon couplers and clamps can also be purchased with a nice lot of charge pipe off ebay. Intercoolers are cheap dont buy an expensive one. Turbo powerstroke intercooler is a personal favorite and lots of ppl use them so they are easy to find.

aluminum pipe SHOULD be used, but many people use regular old exhaust pipe. Why? Because its cheap, easy, and can be bent by any local muffler shop. It can also be easily welded to for things like BOV's or extra injectors.
And for peak power larger turbo's definitely help, but for off idle power that little t3/t4 will pull like a diesel. Something to consider on the street.
ON A STREET CAR smaller turbos definitely have some advantages.
Ok guys Im buying my rotating assembly today but first Im having trouble on what cc piston to get. I want my compression to be between 10 and 11 to 1 so I can stay with pump gas or maybe a half mix with racing fuel. But anyway Ive been looking at some kits and some show you what your compression would be with whatever cc piston they are offering. Does anyone know what the CR would be with +12 cc dished piston, or a +5 cc dished piston. Reminder this is for a 383.

An Alasdair Strokosch try in the final minute of a tight battle at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria saw Scotland edge Italy 30-29 on Saturday.
An Alasdair Strokosch try in the final minute of a tight battle at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria saw Scotland edge Italy 30-29 on Saturday.
The result leaves Italy win-less on their three-game tour of South Africa having already lost to Samoa and the Springboks.
The teams swapped ends locked at 20-all after an action-packed first half that saw the sides score two tries apiece.
The second period was a very different affair as Italy buckled down, looking to strangle the result over their Six Nations rivals with fly-half Alberto Di Bernardo's boot doing the damage.
Strokosch had other ideas, crossing after the final hooter to leave Greig Laidlaw with an easy match-winning conversion.
It took less that a minute for the scoreboard to start ticking as Italy wing Leonardo Sarto ghosted over for an easy try out wide, just 50 seconds after the kick-off.
Scotland struck straight back however with Matt Scott continuing his strong tour with a try, selling the Italian defence a dummy to cruise over after six minutes.
Sean Lamont also got in on the act on the quarter-hour mark after Greig Laidlaw latched onto a fumble from Giovanbattista Venditti.
Di Bernardo and Laidlaw added the extras to all three tries before the Scottish scrum-half landed a penalty to leave Scotland 17-10 up at the end of the first quarter.
The Italian scrum made mincemeat of the Scottish pack with a series big pushes, leaving Leighton Hodges with no choice but to award a penalty try. Di Bernardo's conversion leveled the scores at 17-17 after half-an-hour.
The closing stages of the first half sparked a kicking duo between Di Bernardo and Laidlaw and the game disintegrated into an arm wrestle after the interval.
The Azzurri looked to have the result sewn up until, after laying siege to the Italian line, Scotland finally landed the killer blow as Strokosch went around Parisse, who broke the defensive line to leave of hole for the Scottish flank to slip through.
Man of the Match A mention for Strokosch, who was Scotland's top tackler, and di Bernardo, who had his best game of the June series but we'll go for Matt Scott for his excellent effort on attack, that was rewarded with a try.
Moment of the match: Obviously, Strokosch's try ruined Italy's afternoon.

Nowt been good today..
Merry Christmas to all...
Happy so far
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
a little 4 year old girl was hit by a car and killed today at our small apartment complex. I didn't know the girl or her family at all. I had picked up my son from school, and we had done a little grocery shopping. I was driving home, and an ems truck needed to turn on the road ahead of me, so of course I let it. it's lights had just started flashing, but not siren. anyway, it went ahead and I didn't pay more attention to it. when we turned onto the main street in our complex, there was the same ems truck and a fire truck. I had thought maybe one of the older residents had had a stroke or something. then I learned a mother had backed over her own daughter. This ems truck had not even been headed there, but construction workers who had been working in our apt complex had witnessed the whole accident and one of them had just happened to flag down this ems truck, so when we got there, the accident had literally JUST happened. there is only one way onto our very short street, which was blocked by the emergency vehicles and by the yellow tape (which is still there, hours later) so I could not park on our street (which I am NOT complaining about) so, my son and I carried our few groceries to our apartment, having to pass by the scene of the accident on the way and there was blood on the pavement. the girl was taken to a local hospital in critical condition a couple hours ago, but now they say the girl has died. one woman, who lives in the apt where I parked my car, told me this mother has a drinking problem, so I hope she had not been drinking when she drove over her little girl or she will most likely be charged with manslaughter. (which she should be, if she was drinking). I just feel bad for this whole family.
yes it sure did put a lump in my throat when i read it steph535...
Sad story Steph. It happened to my dad's co-worker back in the 1960's - he backed over his own child. Horrible.

Dear Friends,
>'eben' feels like it does something else, it seems to focus more than to defocus.
Perfectly right ! I put it in a wrong semantic category ! "Eben" makes Information more prominent, if I can describe it properly.
The Grammar you named is very insightful - it's interesting how non-native speaker see and interpret our customs.
An German equivalent to "I'm just kidding" would be: "Ich mache nur/halt/mal Spaß". In my Impression "just" is the functional equvivalent to these German particles making a referent or Action less prominent.
David, you make a good point, by bringing MONON into our discussion. I've thought on this word as well. But I can't interpret it properly. Does the writer want to express, that he is stating just/only this and no more or does he intend to de-focus the Information? This seems not to be the same intention, let's say: "I want to say just this". "This" can then be prominent and the only point adressed. I
Any further help of you is highly appreciated !

Kenny Howell
Managing Editor
The Board of Commissioners held a special meeting Thursday to discuss the possibilities of opening the second fire station, and inviting in private EMS service.
Fire Department of Mt. Juliet Chief Erron Kinney and Assistant Chief Jamie Luffman told of the need to expand under their own control. Kinney said the national standard for service was to have 10 people on scene in 10 minutes. Kinney said there was 22 structural fires this year.
"We were not able to meet the national standard one time," said Kinney.
Kinney said that he felt the department had been successful, and the working relationship with Wilson Emergency Management has been great. They asked for six more firefighters and a private EMS partnership with Medic One.
"It will give the citizens what they asked us for," said Luffman.
The price for the six extra people would be $302,000, but the Medic One agreement would cost the city nothing. CEO Jim Reeves said that a lot of the cities and counties they have agreements with pay Medic One, but he felt comfortable not charging Mt. Juilet. He said a large percentage of citizens in Mt. Juliet have Medicare or private insurance, so his risk of not being paid for their service is low.
Reeves gave a lengthy presentation to the commissioners about Medic One, which services areas in Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana and Illinois. Medic One would put two life support ambulances in Mt. Juliet, and the staff, which would be cross trained in fire fighting, would be chosen by Chief Kinney even though they will be employed by Medic One.
The item was just a discussion item, so no action was taken. The commissioners requested financial information from Medic One to look over before the next board meeting, which would be the second reading on the yearly budget.
