damn... i think i'm sending too many customers his way already. must really ask him for some chiok-soh already. haha...  or a member get member program...haha

well it is normal for certain shop selling branded string with low price. They buy in bulk and in reels. I once bought 12 pack of lux big banger for RM20 each from one of Kelantan Shop. Great to have a shop like sportsprises that can do prestretching, at least u can try the difference...at my hometown none, haihh

i wud think so too. anyways this newly pre-stretched strings are pretty poor to play. seemed like dead to me. no life. even whacking with chris and viper just now. was just dead ( however mayb today also is not a good day to benchmark.. playing badly ). Anyhow i'll give it another try as prev i prestretched too high at 55lbs. So this time i'll go for 50-52lbs and see how.

damn gotta start a collection for beautiful looking racquets ..lol.. and complete series

starting my GT series now. getting the PS GT next week ..lolx

hey bro i think you are mistaken .. that is not cyberblue .. it's another brand of strings.. i just came back fr Sportprises and he showed me the string u said to be cyberblue....    yup the color and shape of string looks like the cyberblue but that is another brand totally.. it's called Big Hitter (blue). That string is the one June was interested last time. So can confirm with you that is not cyberblue.

Btw i strung up the exo3 Graphite 100 with Prince's premier top of the line string .. PRINCE RECOIL. Though heard lots of bad reviews about it but was just tempted to give it a shot as it's priced the most expensive.. Rm129.00.  .. So let's just see whether the technology works or not (suppose to slide the string back to position each hits thus giving you the maximum potential of control and spin). I strung it as an all-time low for me. never went below 50lbs. Just now i strung this at 48lbs only. Hope i just din burn my Rm129 away...lol

well it does a bit but i din had much time to whack with it... feels like june's k6.1 90 actually has that particular pop feeling
... mayb let him whack with it tomorrow to see how he likes it. but i feel is quite powerful... but quite flat also the ball... was using that against lelucky just now and switched to carto's APDC and straight away he can c the balls spin more. (fr his observation) but quite obvious... so not sure is the string spin potential of the racq potential at all.. coz i think i hit it the same for both sticks...    damn i need to get anotehr PDRGT to be use whether is the string spin potential that is making this huge difference or just the racq... but so far after hitting with 2 racqs on blackcode hav heard ppl say the kick is more than most my other 4d300 or exo3 racq..    persoanlly fr my view i can'[t tell ... only the receiver..

u wanna relinquish your pdrgt ben ?hehehe

Mate, you don't pre-stretch poly's...., if you can buy another set of BC, string at same tension as previous set up, 57 mains and 55 crosses, though you are not hybridizing I would not recommend a difference of tension between mains & cross's  but thats just me.No offense, bro

hey u free tomorrow ? bring ur racquet over n let me hit a bit n c ... wanna try out back to back .. my weighted PDRGT and yours. since u just got it strung.. mayb can hav a good and fairer comparison ...

Forecast of the day : Get out your umbrellas, STORMY weather ahead !! 

AWEEESSOME racquet.... still going    It totally blew the rest of my collections away. But the biggest prob is i'm not sure is the string setup or the racq. But what i can say is the FEEL or hitting and punching that ball is so intense and nice ... The racquet is strung at 58lbs on Alu BB Rough and Babolat Xcel..  It's really a control oriented racquet but not sacrificing much in the power department. I thought the  Dunlop 4D300 was an easy and "pop-ish" racq with extremely fast head speed but i think this storm almost replaced it completely with much gained control on the backhand. The POP on the STORM is so nice with ample sweetspot and each contact is crisp and perfect. It's a good balance between power & control compared to the more power-oriented racq (PDRGT). Hitting with it for 3hrs just now wasn't as tiring as the PDRGT and it is quite easy on the arms.

Volleying, i think Ben, u might seriously consider this for your "volley stick". My volley is not good i must admit, but with my limited volleying skill, i found easy and fast to maneuver thanks to the headlight configuration. Even each put away shot are solid.

Gurls and guys alike found it surprisingly easy to hit.. was a hit on the court just now.

Now i really gotta test it with another string to find out my experience with it just now was purely string setup or the racq .. lol. But so far i wud rate this the highest and probably the most enjoyable racq i had the pleasure of hitting with in a long long time. MORE so than my first experience with PDRGT. mm.... feel i gotta cheat more on PDRGT with this new baby.. lol. However i'll also try the luxilon BB rough & xcel on PDRGT to get a fair perspective.

wow so many ... yah today i woke up 7am also to make it for the 8am game. slow startup. and yes today is HOT like hell...by 9am was hot already one side.. but we managed to play till 1130am.... so i dunno how SSJBEN can start to play at 1pm. He told me he plays near your place in kg pandan sports complex ? isn't there where you play also aunty Z ?

no... i dont play at kg pandan... there very open & no trees at all, if play at 1pm, i think u can turn into a negro within half an hour 

sure no prob.. i'll reserve it for u that last set
see you on thursday .. haha... but definitely not 1pm yar... we not that pro yet .. can't play at 1pm , will die of heatstroke

how's the weather there these 2 evenings ? raining ? damn worried for tomolo's session .. hope not raining .. haven't play for since monday ...  withdrawal symptom already

hahaha... now u also lead-ing up already ..lolx... kena poison by this ular guy ... started the trend..

mmm.....  u absolutely 100% sure they hav 2 versions of the PDRGT ? coz sometimes this t/w v naughty also ... they dun follow the specifications of the manufacturer when they present their specs. but i always thought of it as for e.g. babolat calculate the weight based on unstrung (which is printed on the racq itself).. T/W pandai pandai go post the specs as STRUNG weight. Then the racq balance also ... say for e.g. The PSGT fr babolat is stated at 6pt HL.. but in T/W is 1pt HL... (but possibly also the 1pt HL is after strung)...  so go figure ....    fr my own interpretation so far i havne't heard of a US & Asian Spec for Babolat...  then again i cud b wrong ...
