dun think so, I think its balls that yan and gang use, but you know lah, they cerewet bola , so a bit no bulu already open brand new can, damn man I wish here got kaki like here, here kaki play till ball bulu sampai botak , hit plastic ball..... go figure!
*
tell me abt it.. got one fella almost ery session break open new cans. he paling cerewet. for e.g. today we opened 4cans .. 2 fr me.. 2 fr him. and we used up 6 cans in total plus yesterday buka punya. but we sometimes baseball hitters also lah .. clear the court totally ..haha... rarely our balls got chance to go botak.. smile.gif

Hello guys, just bought a bunch of balls from yan (very fast and reliable seller) , so here are some questions I want to ask.

1. How do I preserve the pressure in tennis balls without buying any others equipment?
2. What can I do with a bunch of balls except training my serve?
3. Is it appropriate to bring a lot of balls playing with my friends when there are others bunch of players playing beside me?

Thanks.

hey bro ... there's a tool that sportprises is selling.. suppose to repressurize old balls .. not sure how it works.. but if u wanna know more i can help u find out fr him.... tho normally dun bother lah .. after hilang pressure just get new cans .. smile.gif

tell me abt it.. said wanna hang up the racket already ... no point playing anymore since kena slammed left right front n back fr battousai... moving to the women's team already .. maybe can still makan battousai's gf..lolx

hey viper or anybody got xperience with adding lead weights...

i added 4g to my racq. 2g each side of my 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock... felt great.. but when i added another 4g.. making it total 8g.. felt very diff already and not nice. meaning do i need to counter measure it ? coz i read fr forums normally the counter weight thing is for those who add at the 12 o'clock ??

also say i've added 3 and 9 o'clock... can i still add for other combination .. say 12 o'clock for the better sweetspot ? or the 10-2?.. just asking lah .. not kiasu wanna add to all sides..ehe... just curious abt it ..


this crimson .. bad influence.. now i bought 2 packs of lead to test test. new thing to test pulak.

but i must say since i added 4g onli to the overall weight.. the PDRGT felt so much stable and no more twisting when i hit off centre... but when i added more another 4g.. suddenly get the "twang" twang" sound back ...not sure y

some image abt leading up the side of the racq.. i did something like this ...

hahaha.....someone customiziing his racquet....hehehe. Anyway, the thing to remember about adding lead tape is:

1. Sweetspot moves in the direction of the added weight.So if you add weight at 12 o'clock, your sweetspot will move up.
2. Adding weight to anywhere along the hoop will change static weight, swing weight and sweet spot position.
3. Added weight does stabilize the racquet on off centre hits and increase "plow" through.But depending on your strength , it will tire you out faster and slow your racquet head speed down.
4. I think most pro's like to add lead at 12 o'clock. Improves the serve strength as well. Counter balancing is not necessary, but I like to do so if weight is added to 12,2,10,3,9 o'clock position coz i like to keep my head light balance the same or close to it. Only the 6 o'clock position or racquet throat hardly changes the balance and swing weight, so I don't usually bother.
5. You may customize as much as you like by adding weight at all positions, but it's all trial and error. See where you are contacting the ball more when you hit ( look for where the ball fuzz is mainly located) , before deciding where you would like to add the weight.
'
I am not sure why adding the extra 4g on top of the previous 4g you added to the pdrgt caused the "twang" sound again. I only got to try hitting it when you added the first 4g and it felt much more stable. Could be it became a little too heavy, making you hit off centre more because your swing hasn't adjusted to the new weight ? Not sure ,bro. rclxub.gif
*
i guess it's more a trial & error kinda thing. will try putting some on the 2-10 o'clock n probably this time .. put a bit on the handle to maintain the head-light feeling.

eh eh anyone here got the barricade 5? adidas wan?
both my fren say they bought from some adidas factory outlet ar, dunno where in summit usj wor...rm 210 per pair, damn good deal man.
now im looking at the adidas mi barricade, rm 314 can fully customized choose ur own colour summore....
should i get the standard one rm210 or top up to rm314 for fully customized shoe?
*
yah the Barricade V you can get it at the Adidas Factory Outlet. So far i've heard of is the Summit USJ (main outlet) and also the PKNS Bangi outlet. Both of these outlet sells around RM210. But problem is lacking of sizes and choice .. bascially they are more into those hard to sell colors, the silver/black and black/gold Shanghai edition. Well one of our dear fren is selling them online here.

As for the Mi-Adidas, it's having a promo now fr the usual rm6xx price and selling it at RM315 @ the Adidas Outlet in Pavilion. If i'm not mistaken till Nov. The best thing of getting it there is that you have variety of customization on physical appearance in terms of colors and can put your name there too. Also the size, you can get any size you want and also customize the thickness of the sole and the comfort of the insole. Even girls can get their sizes there... size 4 etc. Also for wide feet fellas.. you can opt for the wide based Barricade V. so for a fraction of cost fr the on-the-shelf shoes, this seems like a good deal. too bad i got 2 pairs already else i wud have ordered one to fit too...We were there last week and ordered 3 pairs ..the grp of us lah.

So get it while it's hot. wink.gif

when it comes to budget concious ppl like me (read: poor), i'll go for the cheaper option but the temptation is there on customizing...

yah at RM315... that's a steal esp for ppl with odd sizes and esp women. coz i think the barricade V hard to get small sizes for women.. and best of all u can do a PINK/BLACK Barricade V !!! lol

off to penang on sunday

have to wait until next holiday to come back to kl

gonna play with uncles n train so next time can fight with crimson aka big hitter (hu~)

exo red is strung at 58. gonna need some time to get used to it, at least the racket can produce good spin w/o much effort
*
cool. the added weights helped in making the racket more stable ?i heard you bought the H-weights. Those that you insert before stringing ? So bila nak add to your collection and get the green exo3 also ..lolx

anyways i'll be in penang somewhere after the malaysian open. so hopefully get to play with lelucky and you if timing ngam..

well talking abt not worth it buys is probably getting a super old and battered condition secondhand dunlop rackets which is not popular to begin with going for rm25x price when you can just grab a newer Aerogel 300 / 500 @ rm270 or so.

The sole of the shoe is not the best lah pooh, if people can afford to buy Nike and replace them more power to them, its just a opinion that I have of Nike, if every week I strike 4d , sure I buy Nike as well, coz they are very comfortable and low to the ground, traction is so so, of course the cosmetics of the shoe are top notch.

If you dont wear out the sole like I do, heheh, feel free to give Nike a try.

yah nike & reebok is not very durable. even for me who takes care of shoes and gears... will still go in less than 6mths. haven't tried the wilsons or babolats or even the prince. but my adidas lasted me the longest and with the good promotion going on. it's really killing me for having 2 pairs now. wud hav luv to customized my own color & name on MI Adidas..
