I'm from taiping. But studying in USM Penang Island.

Spin, depends a lot on your stroke la actually, get a thinner gauge and shaped string will help u on that, but significant or not, u better ask bro prae.

Btw, bro lelucky, my friend string 'Juice' for me leh. He can't be wrong one. Hehe. Maybe urs is hexagonal one. He strings pentagonal one for me.

Anything is possible. =)
He's make adjustments to his game due to his aging body and we'll see if he can make it or not... Andre Agassi got his last few slams at the end of his career too. So why say can't?


Added on August 13, 2010, 10:43 amI play for 2 years oni.. Receive the strings due to courtesy of a friend in Dunlop. Don't get the wrong idea. I'm interested to learn stringing, but not now. Economically cannot afford, and don't have much time, maybe in 2 years time. =)

i tried blackcode lor. spin much or not I don't know, but it's nice to play with. coz it's soft. anyway, it's too costly for me to play with. =(

bro prae, normally how often should i restring poly full bed string, and how about hybrid poly main multi cross?

d last time i restring is becoz my poly starts to move. but that takes about 2,5months.


Added on August 13, 2010, 2:08 pmbro prae, ur avatar went missing! haha. yea found my holy grail =)

Bro Prae, thanks for the poly part. How about the hybrid part? How to know when it's not doing it's job anymore?

Blackcode is indeed vy expensive compared to Explosive. =)
It's about 2x the price.

Hybrid depends on what you hybrid it with, if you are saying multifilaments, as a cross then its your personal choice, but from a stringers point of view, waste money....multifilaments work best as a main, if you mean synthetic gut,a soft synthetic gut will give a more comfortable and soft feel to string bed, and may take some harshness of the poly away.

How much is Dunlop Explosive? Less than RM22.50 I am assuming you are saying Blackcode at RM40-45 is still expensive? I think its very close to tt-warehouse price, which is a modest benchmark, but of course not absolute.

Owh, means if i were to hybrid poly with multi, multi should be the main? just like nat gut vs poly? hmm... then the sign of restring also same lar, when it starts to move?

Dunlop Explosive's price around there la, plus stringing maybe from rm30-40 depending on shops.

Take that, Berdych!!
Who else thinks that Berdych is kinda cocky and not sporting?? My impressions on him are getting worse after watching his plays in Wimby and this one.

Federer's backhand volley.. hmm.. He could have won that game at 6-3 7-6... Anyway, congratulations Federer for making it. =)

I don't think it will be a long way after this, he just couldn't strike with Berdych's return, Berdych's shots are fast, flat and deep; and Fed likes to take on the rise, that's why he mishit a lot when playing with Berdych... He needs to improve his game against tall, hard-hitting players, especially consistent ones like Berdych.


Added on August 14, 2010, 10:06 amHow come Berdych is carrying Dunlop's bag but using Head(w/out stencils though) rackets?? He's waiting for the Bio-mimetic series huh? Hmm...

rm33 per grip ??? Leather also cheaper than that la adui... Or you mean reel?

Yea yea, Paul's trial period has given some edge in Fed's sword. Federer's chip-and-charge tendency has gone up by a little, varieties of shots are back into his arsenal as we saw he did some drop shots, spin smash and something different today; and Fed's luck is coming back... Hopefully we can witness the invincible Fed-ex again!!


Added on August 14, 2010, 10:27 amBut that spin smash was unexpected leh.. Haha..

The most expensive leather grip is from Wilson, around rm35-40.
The rest around rm25-35 only... Rm59 -__- WOW.

And normal replacement grip(from Wilson, Gamma etc) usually costs around rm15-25. Try using Karakal PU Super. I'm using them. Or, you can just add overgrips(rm3-4/each) on top of your original grip. Visit those sports house for grips lar, Royal Sports House is the one of the places that sell things at HIGHEST price. Haahaha...

May I know what racket are you using? =)

This one? Perhaps you wait for Kev to order from TW, then you tumpang them. But it's not so soon already coz I heard he needs nothing from TW at the moment...

Unkle... For Fed's coming in, it pays off not much, Lady Luck was on his side, and I was glad to feel "LUCK" was by his side. Kesian Berdych, but I don't like him, he's too cocky. Can't stand him. He even got the crowd against him.
Fed used to pawn tall and big hitters but after Wimby, I felt that his arch-opponent might be bombarding towers. His accuracy has gone down, stamina obviously... Anyway, he's adjusting his game to his age, slowly bits by bits perhaps, he comes in more than Wimby, drop more than slicing(he might noticed slice doesn't work that much against Berdych in Wimby), backhand a bit more consistent(still a lot of frame-shots just now).


Added on August 14, 2010, 11:20 amBtw, unkle, use live-streaming to watch lar. I never have Astro. =(

Huh? Owh... Swt... Maybe that one a bit more expensive... But I don't know. Judging from price in TW, shouldn't be. Haha.. Your racket doesnt have that? Luckily all my rackets have it. =)
