oops bad typo sorry klboy I meant 'buy'.
Yhhaa i know yan takes extremely good care of his rackets, if you think you can convince him to sell one of his extra APDGT , by all means go ahead, one never knows, he jolly well could be in the market to sell.

hopefully yan has his eye on new weapon of mass destruction..... :-p

klboy you HAVE to specific on what exactly you want.......
if say for example you go and buy car, and say I want yellow car, there is Honda yellow car, Toyota yellow car, Lexus yellow car, and etc....

If you want yellow POLY string just get Dunlop from pooh, if you want synthetic ask him if he got sell some cheap synthetic string lor!

LMAO klboy kalah kau kau ...satisfied....x-p

It doesn'tt matter who they send, their best formation,their 2nd best, oru job is to give OUR best, win or lose, we know we played our best to our capability, should be very satisfied.
I like your spirit klboy, keep up the good work!!!

For sure if they play for 2-3 years, sure can improve, just need some guidance,but must rajin

Well Said pooh
Bwwhahaha klboy support pooh first leh, make sure you spend this big panda big makan!!!
Very good idea, thats why I do to my members here in Sabah
Unfortunately vobs, I am not located in KL :-(


WOOII dun exaggerate things pooh, I am NOT that good myself, I can play the game, understand the game lah

Yhaaa man, thanks for the offer, tennis for me, is to spread the enjoyment of the game,making friends,creating good memories
I open, but financial you kautim, since now you're affiliated with so many big sponsor!!!
klboy if join any tennis coaching session, OPEN your ears, and keep opinions to yourself when coach/instructor is speaking, only ask questions when 'topic' is open to the floor. Heheheh, you sure 'tembak' tembak one lol
If klboy first student give him 'special' rate loh!!!

OMG!!!
I didn't know pooh was into cross dressing!!!!
WOOOOI Pooh your facebook you promote Dunlop product but wear skirt leh!!!!! (MINI ok) make sure to shave em legs!!!

No problem, I can definitely help him 100%, but he must listen to what I tell him, loh, if he distracted by all the leng lui you bring to the court, then I will bring Sabah bamboo and rotan his ass!!!

To be honest I am all for trying/experimenting with trying to emulate/copy 'Pro's on the ATP/WTA' or your local idol player. I am not a huge fan of Nadal's strokes as I have a more classic way of playing,(no close to Fed style, more on Edberg hehehe) however his 'results' on the forehand have grown on me, though I cannot hit a forehand with a full western grip, I can use my continental/very slight semi western forehand and hit a real whooper of a 'whipped' forehand high net clearance and high/forward kick. Unfortunately I can't sustain this type of hitting for a whole set, as it is very taxing on the forearm. I dunno if anyone here has heard of Mats Wilander, his forehand at the time was considered very loopy and had tons of spin, BUT his forehand was the typical moon-baller type. Nadal's or my version of it is not moonballer type, I can hit as hard as I want and the ball if 'cut' right flys................and lands smack on the baseline, only those with good anticipation can return these type of balls esp those that know how to take balls on the rise. Its true single backhand players have a nightmare with these balls, their only offense is a slice/chip. Unfortunately I am right handed so I can't get the angle that moves right hander's out to the doubles or past the doubles alley.

Basically what you can learn from all the pro's are the SIMPLE things. Early preparation, good shoulder turn, if possible step towards the ball, nice contact point in front of you, transfer of weight, low to high action (topspin) and you will notice, these are the things that make you a better player!!!

Have fun peeps!

Babolat is a "french' brand, but unfortunately manufactured in China, like most rackets these days, if you switch to Yonex, (made in Japan) and for sure better quality.

When you go for coaching don't expect a miracle, on your first lesson.
Some people would assume their game would improve ten-fold just because they are PAYING for that one lesson, it does NOT work that way. You, the student has to apply what was taught and during your own free time, practice what you were taught, if you only practice during coaching, your progress will be slower....

Better than nothing rite?! heheheh
Pooh got cert bah, PRC & BKT cert, right or not taiko!

Just curious how much are coaching rates in KL? Does it differ from state to state, ie Penang RM60, KL itself RM70 , this is an example.

Or does it vary on the creditability of the coach say I am a certified USTA coach and has a Level 2 ITF coaching certificate, am I allowed to charge more than a coach who has a USTA cert? what are your opinions? How about a coach that has no valid certificate but has good coaching abilities, I know some coaches that have certificate but don't have people skills.....your opinions are appreciated, thanks!

Gonna be receiving a Microgel Prestige Pro, will try and see how that plays first, heard that the head grip shape is a bit different, for me this may be a deal breaker but shall see how it goes.

Hopefully can play with it. what were your conclusions abt your liquidmetal prestige, pinky?

Looks like Maria Sharapova may leave Prince for Heaad........dunno how the hell she is gonna do that, as she has a 25USD million contract with Prince....but with her injuries, shoulder/arm,etc it looks like she has to switch to another stick....

gamma gut how much pinky buy more got cheaper or not?
:-p

Well its good to get public opinion and see the criticism and praise. Thanks to all that posted.To everyone else, feel free to chime it, I'd to hear your opinions as well.

Just wanna say the Barricade VI looks sweeet , the pic does not belong to me, all credit goes to surfsb on talk-tennis warehouse, judging from his review, excerpts are below:
Things I noticed:
- It does feel lighter, has more flex in the upper and breathes better.
- The outsole feels the same in terms of height but the upper material rides a little lower around your ankle.
- Toe box feels a little narrower than the 5s
- The outsole above the heel is noticeably more "spongey", a little softer on the heel.

I think its significantly better than previous Barricade models. I'm super stoked about them. It feels like adidas listened to certain things people wanted tweaked.


Wonder if anyone knows how much they will retail for in Malaysia or Singapore?
