If I buy locally RM16.90 I think per tube, but because I order by carton,sometimes 5 cartons in 1 go, then price is reduced to RM11, I am really looking to buy Dunlop Fort Elite in carton, but because I cannot source this locally ,have to go through KL, unfortunately shipping is quite high, so I have not bought a carton yet, but I have demo'ed the balls though, they are very good balls, value for money, and performs well.

Hahaha I am not complaining :-p
Anyway I manage to take some close up pics of Solinco Tour Bite on my K6.1 tour, looks greyish and square and THICK.....please compare it to Signum Pro Poly Plasma(Orange in color) 17G on another K6.1tour, and Signum Pro Tornado 17G on my Dunlop 400I.

I really like the Signum Pro Poly Plasma this is my go to string at the moment, if the honeymoon last forever heheheh, see after 2 weeks, see tension got drop and by how much.

Solinco Tour bite will have extensive workout this weekend IF weather is good!
Any questions please feel free to ask.

My preference is and always will be single backhand, there isn't a right or wrong, choose what you are comfortable with.

This is my take on single backhand, (for the Pro's) most of them that had single backhands had a more well rounded game. They had more variety and disguise when using a single handed backhand, people with single backhands, tend to have better 'slice' shots and approach shots when coming to the net, also they tend to have better volleys.
If you are talking about overall success of single hander's there are more World No:1 players that were single handed players and there were double backhanded.

Double backhand pro's: Very solid ball striking when on, seldom you have shanks ala Federer....,you can create sharper angles due to strength of extra arm,double backhands are especially good for return of serve, Agassi was a prime example, now Murray, Djoker are excellent return of servers.....

Cons:I rarely seen a double hander consistently attack the net, most double handers are extremely fit people who prefer to stay at baseline and win from there, double hander's need an extra step in order to set up.

For social tennis , I think nowadays the 2 hander is 75-80% popular mostly due to the fact you see results faster, student feel more satisfied, however 30-45% of them from this 75-80% will just a mediocre 2 hander, other coaches I have seen that teach a 2 hander mainly tell the student to 'loop' the ball over, ala 70's style moonball.........

To be 100% honest most of the strong players I have encountered 75% of them are single handed players, when I meet a 2 hander, I will go for really good high topspin, if the 2 hander is comfortable with this, I go to 'slice' shots, deep penetrating slice, to dinky floaters, to short angled slice shots, if I bring the 2 hander to the net will test his volley skills kau kau, esp test his backhand smash.... whistling.gif
