i am guessing he wants to use it to make his grip thicker but doesn't wanna damage the original base grip he has on the racq..hehe... and doesn't wanna use double overgrip on top of the existing base grip .. wink.gif .. ( i'm guessing )

If tension drops to fast, it could be stringers fault, some people claim stringing via electronic machine, ie Babolat Star 5 , the quality of the stringing is better than those that use the old crank and pull machine's, but the crank and pull machines are damn friggin durable can last 20-30 years with minimal maintenance.
*
that's wat i heard man... and also mostly even by top stringers .. they'll say it's very rarely the machine's fault be it manual or digital type.. normally is the human factor.. (either the knot tying method or the technique of clamping the strings etc)..

u got jalan secondhand cheap machine ?hhehe

Boss, I am also looking for 2nd hand machine, but last time I check S'pore, lowest is around $4200-5500 SGD for the machine I want.Too much lah, if I start mini business , ok, but I don't have time to string for other people, for myself heheheh.

Below is a stringers log from the US Open 2009 taken from Wilson website, it shows you the current ATP and WTA string of choice and tension on both mains and cross's, please note it can either read in Kilo's or Lbs.

As you can see, Luxilon is the choice of the pro's,and you can see tension is pretty low compared to the 80's and 90's when people were asking for 70-75 lbs, the exception is Sampras and Lendl, both strung around 72-75 lbs, on all Natural gut, they broke their strings within 10-15 mins.

oohh i got jalan ... can get quite cheap in Singapore with 5yrs warranty lagi. I was tempted to buy it last mth when i was there. anyways still contemplating and havne't made the jump yet..haha..

PM me if u interested.. can guide u on how to get it half the price u mentioned abv .. wink.gif

btw : looking at the chart u posted. seems all of them even on hybrid or same string, IF they hav their strings on 2 tensions.. the MAINs will be higher hor ..

wah yan, you also selling 2 prince exo graphite 100 kah..... I thought you wanted to try nawin's setup before sellling....

What "rackets" are you targeting now?
*
haha.. aiyah long story .. haha.. actually i still have 1 piece grip 2 (bought mths back but never strung it up). That i'm gonna try stringing up with Nawin's setup. the pieces i'm selling are the grip 3 ones that i bought secondhand from a fellow fren. the leather is too harsh and sharp for my delicate palm. rclxub.gif but as it's already on grip 3 if i add double overgrip, it'll be too big .. unless i take off the leather and replaced it with a softer replacement grip. .. mmm... anyhow Initially i thought of buying the 2nd hand racquets and if the grip ngam i'll use that and bring back my brand new grip 2 exo3 to the shop where i bought it and exchange it with something else .. maybe head YOUTEK 16x19 (coz still got receipt and i know the shop owner well). Also the guy who sold me the racquets gave me an irresistible deal by throwing in a Free and hard to get string from Malaysia ( Signum Tornado ). That was the deal clincher.

My next target probably wud probably be HEAD. So far i've bought and played with Wilsons, Prince, Babolats, Dunlops... so haven't touch HEAD in the past 5yrs or so ..hehe... So probably will be look into Head for their Youtek MP 16x19, Youtek Radical or the Microgel extreme Pro or even maybe Tecnifibre vo2 max. Got any other suggestions ?? running out of models to try ..lolx

p/s: i'm now suffering from a serious blister to my palm and 2 fingers. thx to a BIG-BUTT KPS 88 belonging to a dear dear fren of mine. HUGE ASS BUTT. So can't really give a good demo to the exo3 .. Will post some report abt it once i get the correct string and setup for it ..keke... but thus far... seems v nice to play but no power to it (strung 56lbs). Really NO power... even CKSeong demoed it yest, said super low power ..

hey i hav the same spot as you ... chk this out ...

Attached Image



The finger part is where i normally get my blisters and also the side of the thumb. Using an in-between grip (semi & full western). However the lower palm area is my first time and the most severe one.. from using a big butt KPS 88. the lower butt is more prominent on that particular racquet.. ..anyways at least i know how that came about. Thus i would say that the grip size and also the thickness, evenness and the way you wrap the grip affects whether you'll get blisters or not. rclxub.gif after today gotta take some time off to nurse my injuries... or put on a golf glove ? hmm.gif

Hey guys, I have seen Pure drive Roddick going for RM444 after discount 40% in Royal Sporting House. Is it worth the money ar? Or is there anywhere else in KL I can get it for cheaper price?

when you say pure drive roddick.. u mean the older one w/o the cortex and w/o the GT ? if w/o both .. then i wud say expensive ... !!

Yo Yan, Thanks for the quick reply hehe! Ya, it is without the GT but with the Cortex.
*
then let me put it this way for u ... rm530 for a PDR + GT or maybe can get less already i think since this price was when i bought it few mths back. not sure the current price as Topper doesn't have stock and gotta wait for the new batch to arrive. anyways my thinkin is this way .. if u planning to get an older technology racquet... why don't hunt for a 2nd hand @ a lower bargain price as i'm sure many out there since ppl are transitioning to the newer GT specs.... but if u r already gonna spend that amount for a new racq (older tech).. y dun bite the bullet n pay bit more n get the GT ? i mean that is ME lah ..keke

Wow yan, thats crazy lah, I think you are trying to follow Federer, you are holding too low lah, BUT if you keep this up you will get callous and it will harden, then you wont feel anything later, but the finger part, see my above post and let me know what you think...
*
haha... i think i need to rest a bit to heal my palm first .. coz that is the most painful part and can't impart much power coz the butt is resting on the lower side of my palm. However as i say .. this injury is not usual for me. 1st time kena onli and i know wat to avoid next time already ... so once heal i dun think the lower palm area will kena again ... I'll just stay away from Big Butt KPS 88...haha.....

however i will agree with u generally i hold quite low... half my little pinky will be exposed. however due to this injury i tried holding higher .. meaning all fingers on the grip ... always kena NET...haha...

Wow.... Yan, stich, thats something serious that.
I know that hurts like a b*tch.

I once use semi-western (now a modified eastern), but the part my skin tears off is at the top of my thumb....? Is that strange or what? I don't really know.

Ok Yan, I'll reach your place around 3:30pm or so.
