@vobs topic


for me, i think if i got beautiful shots is enough liaw. but of course diff ppl will hav diff expectation. thts just my very honest oppinion

to win, tht wan really need lots of talent. like federer and nadal, they not just got beautiful shots, but they have the mental strength as well to manage their pressure.

i think in atp all players are talented and have beautiful shots, but juz tht not as mentally strong as nadal or federer.

for atp players, my opinion is their priority is not just to do beautiful shots but to go for wins, bcuz they are the world greatest.

but for lousy players like me, if can just do 1 beautiful shot, although lose 6-0 also its worth playing, for tht juz one beautiful shot

Then need to park car inside not so convenient.
Sportprises can just park by roadside a while pass racquet then cabut.

I've nvr been to stringers before.
Nice shop??
What brands they carry?

ya sportsprises is the most convinient for me too, although sometimes abit hard find parking... bcuz i dun pass racket then cabut... normally i will wait there until my racket finish stringing then only cabut

stringers i never been there b4 actually... only heard from from our good fren wei zian... he like 2 string there wan. mayb he can tell us wat brands they have

brother prae need more of ur advice again notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

vobs, altezza and anywan pls feel free to comment also... will highly appreciate it notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif


Now, i have 2 rackets, one strung at 60lbs black code, the other cheap string at 45lbs

So I have tried praes suggestion, and i used the cheap string to string at 45lbs, hit with it for a few times dy….. and I find it ok… thumbup.gif in fact, I felt its better to do slices, and also much easier to block powerful and heavy shots. But however, with 45lbs I have to swing shorter, because if I swing like how I would swing as if at 60lbs the ball probably will go long.


So my question as of now is:

1. Should I use back 60lbs so that I can do longer swings?
2. Should I keep using the 45lbs so tht I can slowly get used to it and hopefully, in future I can do longer swings like how i would with 60lbs?
3. Can I switch around? ie: this week I use 45lbs, then next week use 60lbs, then following week use back 45lbs…. is it advisable to do this? Because if not, tht will mean my 60lbs strung black code will be of no use and have to wastefully, 'samtong' like mad and cut it cry.gif
4. Or…… shud I use back my 60lbs and keep on purposely hit the frame until the black code snap, then only start to try get used to 45lbs…?
5. I have 1 pack of synthetic gut string haven’t use yet….if I use it, wat tension shud I put?
6. I also have a pack of hybrid string (poly and synthetic gut), so if I wanna use it wat tension shud I put at the main and the cross respectively?
7. Is it advisable to string an edged poly string (black code, cyber blue gear) at the low tension at 45lbs?

THANKS IN ADVANCE notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

emoticons here are free so wanna fully utilize it to show the amount of my gratitude thumbup.gif

thx alot for all the great tips! i hav somethings to clarify sweat.gif .... if u have time....

QUOTE(praetorian @ Jul 6 2010, 11:27 AM)
If I am you, I would stick it out at 45 lbs for a while longer, also swing faster, it looks like you grasp some benefits of low tension poly's slice's are easier to perform, they skid/stay lower they don't sit up, easier to handle harder balls with less effort.....surely these will benefit you once you become a better player!!! Don't you think so!?
*
fully agreed! thumbup.gif



QUOTE(praetorian @ Jul 6 2010, 11:27 AM)
Its basically up to you, I personally would not recommend it, as you are still on the learning progression curve, if you switch, it staggers and delays any improvement you should see or notice, however I would keep your 60 lbs racket as a back up racket, when playing conditions change, ie balls are botak, court conditions are heavier ie looks like rain....can use when its hot as well, as balls tend to fly faster, depends on what you need, more power or more control, only you can answer this question
*
ok i will keep it as backup racket thx for the tips on when to use this backup racket... as i fore see tht i definitely will seldom get to utilize my backup racket...




QUOTE(praetorian @ Jul 6 2010, 11:27 AM)
Synthetic gut plays well if strung higher, but why are you going between cheap poly, good poly and synthetic gut......give yourself time to adjust say 2 months of playing with cheap poly at 45 lbs, ask your hitting partners if they feel any difference, make a mental note IF you feel any difference TRY all the shots you wanna try see what type of shots you can pull off, and what shots don't work.....
*
i understood this part, thx alot! but i need to clarify a bit: i already have 1 pack of synthetic string but dun intend to use it so soon... so let say i have been using this cheap poly at 45lbs for 5 months, then it putus, so i want to put this synthetic gut tht i already have, so wat tension would u reccomend? since im changing from poly to synthetic? is it still 45lbs? or slightly higher? or at 60+lbs oso can?



QUOTE(praetorian @ Jul 6 2010, 11:27 AM)
I use to string Blackcode at 45lbs I liked it however tension maintenance wasn't so good after a full sparring session tension would decrease by at least 10-15% so thats why I don't use Blackcode, I hit either very flat or with alot of spin depending on who I play. If I were sponsored or kena mega toto I would use Blackcode for 2 hours and cut it out and restring.....but sadly mimpi only.....
*
ohh i see....
hav u used before cyber blue gear? i also got 1 and a half pack of this string...


QUOTE(praetorian @ Jul 6 2010, 11:27 AM)
I am using Signum Pro Tornado as a main string, strung 42 lbs on Wilson k6.1 tour, tension maintenance is excellent...I don't really care if spin is there or not but I MUST have tension maintenance, but this is a textured string, and there is spin :-) win/win lah, if you wanna try this string, I think bro altezza has lobang for this string, can't hurt to ask him, give it a try if you can :-D
*
ok will ask altezza... thx! thumbup.gif

I would cut out the cheap poly after 2 months, you will be hurting your arm, as the poly will be dead by then, it won't be responsive anymore. But if you budget don't allow, play till the strings burst loh.

If you are going from poly to synthetic, the only thing synthetic offers is comfort ability on your arm, I doubt it will enhance your game as it does not offer the same things as poly's. You probably notice when using poly you don't have to re-adjust your strings, with synthetic gut you will, if your poly needs re-adjusting that means the poly is dead......

If you gonna use synthetic I 'd string it a good 7-10% higher than what you strung for poly.
Cyber blue gear?!
I have heard and used Topspin Cyber Flash (but this isn't blue) and topspin Cyber Blue (which is blue) but there is no gear in the name....or do you mean Pro Supex Blue Gear? (yan had the white version but still the same as blue version?)
Both are good quality strings.
*
ohh..... okok thx alot! u have answered all my questions liaw smile.gif

sorry, yes i got the name wrong... its Pro Supex Blue Gear. Hav u tried it before? and wats ur comments for this string?


Added on July 6, 2010, 12:26 pmp/s: cheap poly will die after 2 months, how bout expensive poly? will it stay alive longer... 3 months?
