v4.... after so many years.
Its been a long time coming.

I just found out where all the PDRGTs went to.
Was at TS just now, walked pass the tennis shop in 3rd floor.... saw 8 PDRGTs hanging there.
Normal PDGT and PDGT+ also there.

TS = Times Square.

Standard "price" laa for shopping malls.
RM799.... but you know the drill.

Racquets wise they aren't selling anything.
But I don't know why, all the guai-lo like to buy shoes from that shop.

So they're surviving on shoes, not racquets.

Rainy season, what to do?
Even want to play daytime afternoon also scared.

Too bad tomorow morning I'm not free, if not I'll join you guys too.

That's right.
Actually after Wimbledon, Rio Ferdinand did an interview with him.

One of the questions was regarding how Nike would force him (Rio) to wear boots that he doesn't like.
But Fed said that Nike respects his decision and won't force him to wear colors that he doesn't want to.

So yea... there you go.

And this was only when Federer was losing about every match in the first match of a any tournament.
Wonder what sort of even hellish training and drills prior to 2002.... then 2004, is when the ownage started.

Call it coincidence if you will, but:
The 2 times I played with you, the 2 times your strings broke........

First time I played with you, you snapped your bc on your PDRGT.
I think you were playing with ckseong.

Second time was that day when were in the club.
You snapped zdepth's strings. Followed by viper snapping his.

Just got my Pro Kennex Black Ace 98 yesterday, courtesy of altezza and his friend.
Didn't get to swing too much with it though since it was raining and I don't wanna wet it.

But my god.... this stick is like possesed, I nearly lost my love for the PDRGT just playing a few minutes with the PKBA 98. It was strung with Prince Lightning at 58lbs though, and surprisingly the string is quite nice to play with. Awesome stick!

Can't help it.
I'm just amazed by the control and power of the racquet. Surely it is not as powerful as the PDRGT but it is pretty close. But the control, is unlike anything I've touched before.

Now don't know to cut the strings out and put a set of signum tornado on it or not, because the Prince Lightning feels really good on it.

Yea, old school control but has the power of today's frames.
It does atleast feel almost as powerful, as I was just doing a comparison of flat shots.

Not enough time to really try, the rain came and the court became too damn wet.
Don't wanna dirty the BlackAce.... I'll experiment more this Friday or Saturday.

Here's a couple of low-res pics if you don't mind the quality.
Cam's out of battery at the moment.

It's sorta new.
The design is quite old-school, so theres not really much of a "technology" vibe that you'll see on this racquet. No nonsense like Cortex, K <insert name>, nCode, 4D, etc. etc.

Just a straight to the point racquet with exceptional control with power there when you are ask for it.

Yan, you strung MSV on your Kobra? Or is that Cyberblue?

Is it me, or is Topspin starting to really take some other's strings and then re-market it as their own (like they did with the Unique Big Hitter)?
The Black looks awfully similar to the signum-tornado.... maybe it's just me.

MSV Hepta Twist didn't rip off Signum's Tornado.
They may be the same concept but atleast MSV's gauge are thicker among all their ranges.

The topspin?
Just go look at their website, completely the same gauge among all ranges and material build as the Signum Tornado.

Crap today left my tennis bag and racquets in the car.
Was burning hot today (considering it rained the whole day yesterday).
Opened up and went to court, my strings on the Pro Kennex Black Ace warped. The mains were twisted!

Damn.... really big mistake by me.

Yea I can.
The ball kept flying to the net even when I slice 3 feet away from it, and if I apply too much spin the strings just fray away and I lose control entirely.

Theres this sound when I hit, the strings is like "crackling".

I think the strings can cut already.
