pinky, thats why must get L3 in the first place lah... also even though overgrip can make up the difference it adds weight which u might or might not want. up to 10g per grip.

haha...aiyo cookie bro a...we finish playing liao lorr...haha..hmm,i feel like my exo3 black grip is quite small although my hand is not so big..maybe i'm jus used to larger size like L3..but if i put 2 layers overgrip,den cant feel de edges le..sigh..

hey guys, since the sunway courts are in pretty bad shape now (and with the closure looming on the horizon), would anybody be interested in sunday morning sessions at kelana jaya? we'll do it on a pool basis whereby we contribute a fixed amount say rm30 every month plus balls?

the only pain is getting to book the courts at mbpj, anyone works near there or is fairly mobile?

actually i think kelana jaya is a better idea as its the closest to sunway.

shall i start another thread for this? it'd be less messy that way

yan, about 10-15% higher depending on type of string. but generally for syn guts try it first at the mid of the recommended tension range of your racket, which shd be 50-60lbs, hence give it a shot first at 55lbs.



QUOTE(Yan @ Mar 8 2010, 11:20 AM)
Hey guys...

i just wonder if i wanna string up my BLX 6.1 95 with full synthetic, what tension shud i go ... i've totally no exp on synthetic strings... always a poly user. so i've no idea the range for synthetic to match the playability of the poly .. Thought give it a try since i broke 2 strings this morning... my BLX 6.1 95 and also the PUre Storm GT .. and worst i brought 2 racqs to court only .. dua dua pun putus ...  Gonna string up poly for the PSGT and synthetic for the 6.1 95.

I want the synthetic to hav tension matching around a 48lbs-50lbs poly on the BLX 6.1 95 ...
wow SGD99 is cheap ... i bought mine $79 USD last time ...

yup, best point to start lah, from then u can decide if u want higher or lower. but the blx95, if its anything like the k95, will probably be quite comfy on syn gut. your concern, again if its anything like the k95, shd be dialing down the power, as the k95 almost consistently caused me home runs and i had to shorten my swing considerably.

QUOTE(Yan @ Mar 8 2010, 01:53 PM)
haha... we think alike... i was thinking of setting it at 55lbs as well. and hopefully will play more comfortable... it's a tough racq to use the blx 6.1 95 ..

hey, do you guys know of anyone who has an N6.1 95 for sale? These things are rare as hell nowadays. Let me know if you hear of someone having a stash of these.

QUOTE(ckseong80 @ Mar 16 2010, 02:03 PM)
Hahhahaha......... yeah Yan, that's normally expected from a light racquet.
Surely all racquets have its pro & cons.
Hehehehe...... to test out how good this racquet is when hitting wif flat or power player, brother June will be a good test.

He hits flat & powderful!!

cool! u gonna spray it yourself or take it to the paintshop? the only problem i can see using paint from a can is that it may crack from the flexing. let us know how it goes. rclxms.gif

i think its a typo lah... cannot be 19, it'd feel like a wet noodle. even wood rackets would be stiffer than that

QUOTE(PINK_MING @ Mar 16 2010, 08:34 PM)
har???i din noe nockas is ular's bro man...lol..kinda surprised to noe tat...


Added on March 16, 2010, 9:41 pmwow...guys..look at tis... http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Wilson_BLX...K5BLX.html#spec

de t/w jus released 5 new blx models..particularly i'm surprised to see tat one..cuz its stiffness rating is only 19...wow...never realized tat dere's such a low stiffness huh?i tot 50+ is oredi very low..haha..now tis stiffness of 19 has reli opened my eyes..

oh ya,bro yan..imo,maybe u shud wait til u c all these 5 new models in real life baru decide which BLX to buy for emily n to complement ur bag..cuz perhaps it looks a lot better in real life in comparison to pics..like it did for de blx 6.1...n de specs r quite good for a female player...just my personal opinion n a friendly advice oly though... smile.gif cheers..but no doubt,ur blx 6.1 is reli a sexy blonde lorr...in malay,got tis peribahasa...indah khabar dari rupa..but de blx is like terbalik..indah rupa dari khabar...haha..


Added on March 16, 2010, 9:44 pmdoes anyone noe de reason of oversized racquets generally being more expensive huh?

yan, u might want to try something along the lines of the kzen team, or something similar in spec anyway. decent headsize, light weight, even balance. but generally i think for ladies mid level player a good fit would be one in the 95-100sqin head, about 310gm strung, and even to 4pts headlight. the super light, super stiff, head heavy rackets are tennis elbow machines.


QUOTE(Yan @ Mar 17 2010, 05:44 AM)
@pinky ... sorry my mistake it's n6.1 95 .. though she likes the n6.1 95 .. i think it's not a good start for a gurl esp the weight .. she has no control of the racq as it's too heavy and the risk of injury is too high as well.. so i wudn't advise her to start using it ... it's nice coz she doesn't need to use much of her strength to hit the ball.. but it's bad also coz she has no control once she starts to swing it as the racq is way too heavy for her to handle... she can't stop / slow down the swing ... anyhow i'll search for another racq for her... that one is just my pet project.. smile.gif

Added on March 17, 2010, 9:42 ampinky, definitely typo. the k3 stiffness is more likely to be 73 than 37. looking at the kfour which is supposedly lower power, even that has a stiffness rating of 71.

sometimes these websites u have to read with caution. i remember once the proton website listed a car that has 1100hp... tongue.gif

QUOTE(PINK_MING @ Mar 17 2010, 01:10 AM)
lol...wet noodle..haha..yalorr...19 shud be too low larr..a typo like u said..but wat abt tis?its stiffness is 37 o..stil a typo?

http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Wilson_K_F...-K3FX.html#spec

haha...bro yan n bro ck..nolarr..i din say i wanna buy de coral wave hor?lol..u don have insurance.. tongue.gif but i think u can sell it easily lor...have faith in u.. tongue.gif

bro yan,u've n6.1 90 mer?i tot u oly have de 95 version?ho!u din tel us har?bro,after u change de strings,emily stil don like de blx mer?maybe de strings crappy eh?y she like de n6.1 95 but don like de blx 95 de?got so much difference mer?shud have put both at same strings,same tension...den de playtest wil be more accurate..hehe..but de 6.1 95s r quite heavy oso o..but perhaps,apparently de headlight nature make it feels as if it's quite light..

difficult lah... i know where to get automotive foam though, but those are terribly stiff and like concrete once it sets, hehe...

better option would be to use silicon.

QUOTE(inv @ Mar 18 2010, 10:36 PM)
heya peeps.. i was wondering, where can we find the foam that they use on handles of the racquet? any idea where to get and how much would it cost?

yup, but just a word of caution, the heatshrink sleeves can add a significant amount of weight and change your rackets balance by a great deal. i've recorded weights of up to 15gm for the sleeves. an overgrip is about 6gms.

QUOTE(k3vin82 @ Mar 19 2010, 09:38 AM)
You can put a heat sleeve to bump it up a size or just add extra overgrip like i do...
