On my way Senior Member 551 posts Joined: Apr 2005	Welcome to LYN Tennis Thread v4 This thread is intended first and foremost for people to share and discuss about our favourite game - "TENNIS" and secondly to make new friends and to have fun on the court. Feel free to ask some of our resident sifus here on tennis equipments (racquets, strings, customizations), tennis techniques, great deals and places to play. Would love to have more active members posting their experiences and sharing their thoughts. Mostly let's keep this thread clean and try to STICK to tennis related talks though sometimes we can always have some fun jousting and poking at each other Latest announcement : JOIN the latest and premier tennis forum in malaysia setup by our own bro Zdepth @ http://www.tennis.my Adidas in Pavilion is having a promotion for Mi Adidas (it's a Adidas Barricade V but you can custom yourself) Normal SRP is around rm650 but now till Dec 09 for HSBC credit card. they are giving 50% discount which comes to about rm315 per pair.

Most have misconception that it's very expensive. Well here's a simple guideline or info so that you don't get confused when thinking of playing at The Club. Basically You can have a FULL-FLEDGED Membership with THE CLUB by paying roughly Rm1000 per annum. Benefits are you can book in advance and of coz entitles you to use it for free. so Far i haven't heard of any LYF members who are The Club members yet. Second method which most of the members use is just signing up for the 1CARD for RM10. Yes it's just rm10, so for poorer members, you can afford it too ...you don't have to be rich It's something like the bonuslink card or Jusco card. You just have to sign up as member and pay the rm10 fees. The drawback is that you can only reserve the courts on the playing day itself. But as long as it's cheap, it's the most popular way. The 1CARD is like a reload or prepaid card. Whenever you wanna use the courts or make bookings, you must top-up the required amount to use it. The Rate for tennis bookings at the CLUB is : Rm26 per hour So basically we don't all have to become 1CARD member. For our group, we share the 1Club cards (2 of our member went n signed up for the 1card). So whenever we wanna use it, we just top up to the required amount and use it then of coz informing the card owner. Hope that helps all our members here... Majulah sukan untuk negara .. hehe p/s: Please let me know if there are other info pertaining to tennis that you would like to be highlighted in the FP for the benefit of others..

But i strung it up 2nd time... had to cut it also after 2weeks. Din really like the feel .. Very stiff and doesn't bite the ball as much as i wanted. for the SPPP just felt like a regular soft strings... frankly so far i've tried 3 really really soft polys... MSV, Cyberblue & SPPP... don't really feel much diff except very comfortable on the arms... however i won't write them off as yet.. might have to test further if i hav a chance in d future.. but for now i'm more into textured strings to get full spin potential ..

On my way Senior Member 551 posts Joined: Apr 2005	QUOTE(tenable @ Oct 27 2009, 12:05 AM) Thanks... just curious...is there any difference between 16x19 and 18 x 20 string pattern? in terms of power,spin etc.? well generally a 16x19 is called an open string pattern which gives you a bit more spin potential with your low to high swing... a 18x20 is also known as a dense string pattern which gives you more control and precision. However how it suites you is entirely dependent on your swing style and your preference... it's not uncommon for ppl fr 16x19 or 18x20 to switch back n forth coz it all depends on what you wanna achieve as you notice some tour players using 16x19s and 18x20s alike..
