bro prae...got sth to ask..if a string is stiff...den after de tension drops,wil it be a tad less stiff???cuz my elbow is a bit painful after playing wif my psgt..other 2 racquets...fine..
*
If a string is stiff, and it loses some tension, depending on the tension lost, the string may lose some stiffness, but it may lose its playability as well :-(
If you are using a Babolat frame PSGT, don't be so sure to blame the string, most likely the racket or worse a combination of stiff racket and stiff string. My advice is either go for a softer poly, blackcode,msv hex,signum tornado or use a multifilament, string lower on the PSGT, if your arm still hurts, string lower.....if it still hurts, take yan's offer and swap rackets!!!!!

Pinky what you string you use to string the PSGT? If you say I may know what is causing your arm to ache.

Yhaaa Babs are notoriously famous for arm issue's thats why I don't use em, however I think the Nadal pro line are ok, I have played a couple of sets with a APD and APDC no arm problem,haven't tried APD-GT or anything else.

You cannot compare apple to oranges lah pinky, specs may look the same, but playability is different, flex may be different, even racket mass distribution is different, thats why its important NOT just to look at specs , but to demo!

Sometime tis newbie veli hard to guide them.
They wanna to explore all kind of weird matter for tennis.
But the problem i seen they always ask the wrong guy for the answer,instead make it even worst. whistling.gif

AIGGOOOOO!!!!
pooh,pooh,pooh.....everyone start as beginner/newbie lah.....infact these newbies you are much more knowledgeable than me when I was a newbie, its better be newbie and ask and get correct information than newbie gaya type.
And I don't see it as cleaning up dirty laundry lah....share information bah, you too extreme sometimes.
Some people may not have all the information at hand at the time, so the amount of information they give is not necessary incorrect but insufficient ,but at least they try and help people out, I am very sure if I made a mistake and I am sure I do (all the time) ,someone on the forums, would correct me, I wouldn't be offended, in fact i gain knowledge.I win in the end!!! icon_rolleyes.gif

Its good to explore/experiment, you learn faster that way.I also experimented sampai wallet pokai hehehehe, but at least learn something and most important I 'happy'!!! thumbup.gif

You are experienced tennis player as well, you should pass some of your knowledge here leh, but please phrase nicely lah.....don't so kesar heheheheeh whistling.gif

sophi you dun kipas that panda, panda supposed to be friendly and cute type, but this pooh is like hunter, got rifle or m16, he shoot first one then see who it is lol

You absolutely right about wanting to improve your strokes you need someone who can play, and guide them but not everyone has access to that 'someone' (unless pooh you volunteer lah) or can afford to hire a coach, there are real recreational players ,and there are recreational players that want to kick ass... lol

Pooh you don't stir up hornet's nest here. Be sporting k, not nice you 'challenge' people then tak jadi one....the last time this happen I ALMOST buy Air Asia ticket for that match!!!!!!!
If you want to really play this match, I think you must go for serious training.If hold this match, hold where convenient for spectator to see, don't hold this match at your kampung lah pooh, so LC one meh, if hold at your place your got home advantage, then you must also play re-match at a place of his choosing, so he also have home advantage, FAIR rite?

I was just about to ask him this as well, what exactly are the freebies?
@Leleucky I have never used these tennis balls before, would you mind posting a short review? How does it compare to the normal Wilson Championship ball, this ball only last me a whole set (6 games) of tennis before the ball has almost no felt , and the Wilson logo is gone......, we need something that can last at least 3 whole sets if possible.

aiyooo the things I usually order if taking from tennis warehouse is mostly grips, stringsaver, maybe leadtape ,if got new Nike Bull Cap, all Blue/Black one I take that as well.

I won't order rackets, I may order shoes, Prince shoe's on tennis-warehouse is 50USD ,so our money shouldn't be more than RM170, not including shipping lah, but see first, dunno end of this month got spare $$$$ or not :-(

Awfully quiet today, heheh, luckily the rain came pouring down after my tennis session, today I tried a Head Microgel Prestige Pro, I must say I am very impressed with this racket.

I had this restrung with Kirschabaum Super Smash Spiky at 56lbs.
Cosmetics this is a beauttttiful racket, one thing I really liked is the nice lacquer/acrylic transparent paint on top of the paint job, NO MORE SCUFFING!!! & NO more Paint chips/flaking.Unlike my poor Wilson K6.1 tour ball scuffing and paint chips made me decide to paint it all black.

The feel of the racket is 'solid' however I found that the racket does not have 'plow' effect like on the k6.1, another thing that impressed me, is I don't need a dampener , its just flush,and smooth.

Groundstrokes forehand.
Hmmm this is where I found I could not strike the ball as cleanly as I would of liked, if I played semi-aggressive tennis with this, I could not miss, at least I could go 65% ain power and still make 85% of the shots.

Groundstrokes backhand (Topspin)
AHHHH this is where this puppy shined!!! HAHAHA I felt like Gasquet & Warinka all rolled into ONE! Hitting with wild abandon Lendl style, I reallllly liked this racket on the backhand!!!Regarding the slice, it could be my technique but I could not slice the ball as well or as good as the k6.1, approach shots off the backhand side were decent at best , not my finest for sure.

Serves...
Another plus, I could serve really bombs with this, MPH on this was on par with what I could serve with the k6.1, however my kick serves were not as jumpy/wide as with the k6.1 tour ,could be strings, I dunno still fooling around with this stick.

Volleys....
This is the weakest part of my game, with this racket, don't ask me why, I didn't get that much depth as I would of liked with this, same with half volleys, could be tension as k6.1 is strung at 45lbs, this puppy at 56lbs...will playtest this again with Signum Tornado at 48lbs hopefully in 2 weeks.

Overall I liked this racket especially the cosmetics, would I be enticed to switch to Head, I dunno, at the moment ,sadly no x-p.

Thanks for the read! <3

Well the time I was using Yonex RX-37, I was playing very well with it, the ONLY reason why I left Yonex was the exorbitant frigging high price,I was a student then,my parents gave me a small allowance, which I took and saved for friggin months,close to a whole year before I got my first Yonex RX-37, if I am not mistaken it was black/gold/had some blue on it and was made up of boron ( not 100% boron but I think a certain percentage)
The only bad thing I can say about Yonex rackets are there are a bit 'brittle'. They were easy to swing, solid, SOLID, crisp...ahhhh.

Being brittle hmmmm how do I phrase this, this racket was like glass or marble, if you chipped it on low backhands or half volleys, there was a high chance a good size chunk would chip off, imagine that.....you know how you can chip glass, a nice piece comes off, same with this racket :-/

If chipped too much, the characteristics of the racket 'changed' in subtle ways, but I could tell, then thats when I retired one Yonex at a time....sad to say ,VERY SAD to say, someone threw my rackets away...........

If I ever come across that racket for damn friggin sure, I will buy it and play with it just to see if I can get the same feeling as before, I will retire it, placing it on the wall.
As for my infatuation with Wilson Pro Staff this was the racket I used when a friend of mine lent me this particular racket for volleys, it just was very good,crisp for volleys, though at the time, I think I could play quite decent with it, no way on par with the Yonex, (btw if I am not mistaken the Yonex racket was like SGD380-420 in the early 80's). I slowly adapted to it, and the price of the racket was much cheaper (SGD200-250), at the most. Hahah I still remember the shop owner trying to kipas me, to buy the Prince Boron (this mofo was at least SGD900-1200) at the time......I didn't even bother to look at the racket....sial, I would have to have sold my kidney or left testicle to get that stick....

I will say, rackets characteristics will change WHEN you play better or improve your technique,thats a promise ;-p example say your're a 2.0 now, when you reach a decent 3.5 to a strong 4.0 use the crappy racket you hated when you were a 2.0, you be surprised how much you like it biggrin.gif

Cheers!
