mana cik Ah Wee ?

chipchip is abt to reach my place already... viper you out of office yet ?lol..

This is from what I gather, please take with a grain of salt, if you can afford to do some experimenting, I would recommend it, esp with cheap strings say around RM 40 or less.

Some people would comment that 45-48 tension is too low, they can generate power, they need control, if you are a FLAT hitter I can certainly understand your point of view, but if you are a topspin hitter, not necessary a Nadal clone, BUT your shots do dip, you will most certainly appreciate low tension rackets, I have only tried this on a 16x19 open string pattern racket. If you have 18x20, you are more than welcome to try, I won't say its harder to impart topspin on a 18x20 racket, but if you have good technique its doable.

Yan it answer your question, it all depends on WHAT type of string you are using.

Take for example, Luxilon, this is a 1st generation poly that has wowed the ATP, it is without a shadow of a doubt the most popular poly on tour, ATP and WTA, nothing else comes close! PERIOD!
Luxilon is the only brand where professionals have to PAY for their string, unlike other brands the brands pay the players to use their product.

The current information I have on poly is this:

If you are using your scenario:

1) String Luxilon at 45lbs and play, it will play beautifully and you will have the poly effect for a much longer time, hence the strings don't die as fast expression.

2.String Luxion at 55lbs, there is a higher possibility you will be able to take HUGE FRIGGIN CUTS at the ball and it will remain in, you will bewilder your opponents, however this setup WILL NOT LAST long, I have been told depending on your NTRP, some people have reported it lasted for 15 mins, during those 15 mins they played the best tennis of their life, after that 15 mins they noticed huge deterioration of the string performance, balls that were landing 2 inches before the baseline are landing a foot out. Other have noted the strings performance deteriorated after 1 hitting session ie 45 - 55 mins. Again experiment and see what works for you.

You can certainly string at 55lbs, but make a note, how you felt you were hitting the ball,ask your hitting partner, was your ball coming at them faster, did the ball feel heavy,etc. Make a mental note, how long did this last, if you get feedback, wai boss, how come your ball not so strong leh..... attribute that to the string, then.

On a personal note, I have noticed if your string lower, esp with POLY, your spin is unbelievable, BUT I suspect you MUST have a sound technique. If you cannot maintain a 20-30 ball rally, do not waste your money on this experiment, I also believe stringing lower tension on a racket only works with a STIFF racket, if you are using a flexible racket, again I would not recommend this.

Didn't Nawin change to Prince :-O Also didn't know he was a fan of Toalson either! >:-) j/k Damn he change his gear pretty radical.....lost another Wilson kaki to evil Prince
He also does great reports on stuff

back in kl~~!

yan tomorrowill search for you~~

he hit 5mins with me already open the 2 cans

haha.. the 2 new cans was fr me...haha.... anyways he paling cerewet abt balls .. so we always end up with lots of newly good cond balls... so sayang to throw away ..so sell then recycle back the $$ into buying new balls again ...

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 ...

too bad their budget so low.. else can get crimson viper's K5 (practically new). that wud be a nice racq for ladies.
