phiten is from jap, so it maybe cheaper since it doesnt need to have extra cost of shipping and other stuff.

KLboy: yeap good price, but beware of imitation, find out more from seller before buy. good luck:)

Carto, looks like theres not enough player on DKTT side, will be playing for them in doubles maybe if some of them did not reply, but no worries, nothing serious as it is a friendlies:)

theyre now deciding on whether one court is enough since there are 4 doubles and 1 singles, they may look at different venue with 2 to 3 courts for more game play thus more fun on the friendlies.

Will update on maps and venue once decision is made by Sunday evening ok:) Thanks

Hey guys i wanna ask for some help.
My serve is really crap. I have checked out youtube videos and all and i probly see a bit of an improvement until i break out a new can of balls, my serve goes over the service line/ straight into the net.

I wanna ask how long does it take roughly to get a proper playable serve that is able to reach someone behind the baseline? Sorry if its a stupid question coz thats the only thing thats stopping me from playing with others

also, how can i practice (What drills should i use to work up to a full serve)??
*
or u can get a coach, easier that way and it is a sure winner on improvement:)

wah congrats vobs on your 2 new weapons of mass destruction, may i ask what rackets you bought? If possible post a mini/detailed review, as I like to hear/read racket reviews, heheheh thanks bro! <3
*
Cant really give you a review as 10 minutes into play, i snap the string sigh......

Initial feeling was the swing weight is quite heavy even though the overall weight is light, unlike APDGT although heavy it feels light when u swing it. (maybe my previous racquet is a very light racquet, now using 98 felt so heavy in swingweight)

i strung it at 55/53 and it felt stiff to me, maybe because previously im using a very very flexible racquet.

bugger pinky, told me that kblade 98 is nice to play with, initial test was a disappointment, wasted my money buying it:(......maybe tension too high, will give it another try

i will use a lower tension to give it another chance (hopefully it will not feel like hitting with a papan), if not i will just change it back to my current kblade team:) will give u more updates after using it for real:)

I am using Wilson K6.1 tour at the moment heavily leaded up with lead tape at 3 and 9 and a with some lead at 12,also have silicone in the handle, I play with a poly at 45lbs, I have no problems with 'control'. This set up works for me, it may work for you, but there is no guarantee x-p

If you have sound technique on your strokes, use a 'classic' grip hahaha i use almost a eastern forehand and a eastern backhand,yhaa I am pretty old school, but I think if you have a semi western forehand , you should be ok.

It will take some adjusting of course, may be 1-3 hitting sessions, hopefully you will be able to dial in, its very nice for ground stokes and serves, slices are very decent, return of serves esp with short backswing or blocking , my personal favorite, however volleys are very mediocre .....

I'd recommend stringing full poly at 40-45lbs, you may find out poly at lower tension the playability last way longer than the same poly at 55 lbs.

When you do 'experiment' I'd love to hear your views, or anyone else's that will try this experiment, however I ONLY recommend this set up with people with advance level strokes, a solid 4 and above.(no bias towards lower level players, feel free to experiment)

Have FUN!!!
*
Will give poly another try at a much lower tension as ur advice and views are quite sensible and from the way you put your statement, i would like to have a hit with you if we meet:) im sure we have much to share or maybe u have much for me to learn:)

im using kblade team, a very flexible racquet and generous sweet spot due to its weird 104 head size, swingweight is light. reason for a change is because i felt the trampoline effect from my combination of light, flexible, low multifilament tension. the trampoline affected alot of my flat shots, though it seems many said that trampoline effect will yield power, but to me gave me an uncontrollable shots that goes long rather than power. Why i have to endure such trampoline effect because the whole combination is friendly to my chronic elbow injury.

I am a swing happy player with classic grips but i do have semi western at times of desperation to put the ball back during matches hehe, and with my style of play im searching for a stiffer and smaller racquet face for control, but not too stiff that will hurt my arm, and i know poly is the way for control but trying it at 50 plus tension gave my elbow a pain led me to think otherwise.

I am diving my head into a stiffer 98 kblade, now trying at 52 (previous 55/53 is stiff for me) overall for my multi strings, will go lower as i play along to get the tension i want. this racquet is abit evenly weighted, i may custom it to be abit more headlight as i can have faster racquet speed without injuring my hand:)

lets see how the poly will work for me at lower tension, will update you bro prae:)

dun worry lah bro .. me still learning esp the tech stuffs fr u guys ...  yah i suspect that too .. mayb vobs can giv a better impression after hitting with me.. always trying to muscle in the balls .. so sometimes timing also rosak ...  but like ck said... using low tension .. i find the effort to spin the ball and get greater depth in the court is harder... the higher tension racqs.. easier .. sometimes just touching will send it out already ...haha  will hav to experiment more later to find out ...
*
yeah yan like to hit the ball as hard as possible and i like to defend and keep the ball in play as much as i can.....so lets play hehheheh

hmm both my wilson kblade team paintjob have a slight difference, looks like wilson do not have QC on standardisation of the paintjob, there are a few differences....does that mean that wilson racquets from different parts of the world will have slight difference in paintjob? sigh.......
