Added on October 21, 2009, 1:43 pmwell as for grommets, it's quite important esp if u plan to keep your racq for long... I'm getting a set for my PDRGT and PSGT and viper is getting for his k6.1 90 and also KPS88. It's worth it to keep a spare just in case.. who knows u might have this racq for another 5 yrs and by then it's not in production anymore and thus can't get any replacement parts.. Grommets wun help u turn pro lah .. it's just basically the same original grommet that comes with your racq.. nothing to enhance your racquet.. just a replacement parts... hope ppl dun misunderstood thought it's a TURBO CHARGER for racquet or wat..

hey guys, how do we rate the ntrp rating for our self?

yalah to sophis

Basically it's just technicality only lah .. but not really that accurate or need to be accurate.. coz whatever ratings also once ppl see you play can tell liaw..hahaha... but just for some info only lah .. here :

p/s: and i think dun need ppl giv u rating.. u can rate urself fr the description there .. hehehe..

from : http://tennisclub.gsfc.nasa.gov/tennis.ratings.html

How to Find Yourself In the NTRP Rating Categories
Of all the descriptions of plaver levels -- from "A, B and C" to "beginner, intermediate, advanced" -- the best system was developed bv the U.S. Tennis Association in 1979. The USTA defines player levels on a scale from 1.0 to 7.0 in its National Tennis Rating Program (NTRP). A condensed version appears below. Take a few moments to determine your likely playing level.

* 1.0 Just starting to play tennis
* 1.5 Has limited experience and is still working primarily on getting the ball into play.
* 2.0 Needs on-court experience. Has obvious stroke weaknesses but is familiar with basic positions for singles and doubles play.
* 2.5 Learning to judge where the ball is going although court coverage is weak. Can sustain a short rally of slow pace with other players of the same ability.
* 3.0 Fairly consistent when hitting medium-paced shots, but is not comfortable with all strokes and lacks execution when trying for directional control, depth or power. Most common doubles formation is one-up and one-back.
* 3.5 Has achieved improved stroke dependability with directional control on moderate shots, but still lacks depth and variety. Starting to exhibit more aggressive net play, has improved court coverage and is developing teamwork in doubles.
* 4.0 Has dependable strokes, including directional control and depth on both forehand and backhand sides on moderate shots, plus the ability to use lobs, overheads, approach shots and volleys with some success. Occasionally forces errors when serving and teamwork in doubles is evident. Rallies may be lost due to impatience.
* 4.5 Starting to master the use of power and spins and beginning to handle pace, has sound footwork, can control depth of shots and is beginning to vary game plan according to opponents. Can hit first serves with power and accuracy and place the second serve. Tends to overhit on difficult shots. Aggressive net play is common in doubles.
* 5.0 Has good shot anticipation and frequently has an outstanding shot or exceptional consistency around which a game may be structured. Can regularly hit winners or force errors off of short balls and can put away volleys, can successfully execute lobs, drop shots, half volleys and overhead smashes and has good depth and spin on most second serves.
* 5.5 Has developed power and/or consistency as a major weapon. Can vary strategies and styles of play in a competitive situation and hit dependable shots in a stress situation.
* 6.0 Has obtained a sectional and/or national ranking.
* 6.5 Has extensive satellite tournament experience.
* 7.0 Makes his living from tournament prize money.
