Yeah, just plan a meet up COD near a tennis racquet shop that you regularly go and bring the racquet for comparison and verification just to have peace of mind lor...easy ma, seller will be ok im sure:) unless theres a doubt in his product he is selling la.

Since there are so many china made fakes, i think seller should have some knowledge in distinguishing a real to a fake so that he/she can give a good piece of mind to the buyer. As for me, ive learned some for the racquets ive owned current and before, usually i buy wilson and head thanks to bro prae:). As for Babolat, im not a pro also as ive never own one before smile.gif thinking of buying one but no funds hahhaha

LTAM do send young kid to tournament to be the ballboy ++. The kids are all fired up and want to be a pro until reality come and knocks their head.

I rather have them fired up and gung ho, yes reality will hit them but at least they try and aim for the dream, its good to know they tried their best. I always have hope.

Also I'd really encourage all kids/children to at least TRY and play the sport. But of course say one player wins almost all the local tournaments, but doesn't get selected for state/national team, this one you cannot blame the kid/parent if they are good in tennis but not good in politic, its happened before and I am sure it will happen again.

6-2 6-2 defeat is a good showing in my opinon, the French Tennis Federation has real money to put on player development, if our local guy can get 4 games, it already shows that this guy has some talent, I dunno how old Ariez is though, if he is young, below 20, he can still grow, but if as usual rely on 35-45 year old ........

all i can say is: as a tennis fan, u must go to watch in d stadium... is freaking different from TV.

few intresting stuff today
- was sitting at d premium seat. free from friend... golubev, istomin, andersoon, berdych just 20 feet in front me...
- can feel the speed and pop from pro!!!
- saw soderling sparring with mamod khan... soderling confirm using prestige. during match, he swith to radical (pj or actual radical, tak tahu laa...)
- got golubov and berdchy autograph on my tickets... (will post if any1 intrested to see)...

to bro kev, weekends kena jaga anak...

Thats why I mentioned HUGE difference if watching on TV you don't know how hard they hit, compared to watching them hit "live". I remember watching and meeting Pete Sampras, Stefan Edberg and Micheal Chang, Monica Seles (when she was in her prime) when they came to Singapore. It was a incredible experience one that I will never forget.

No worries kev :-D
A bit jealous you guys get to test the speed of your serve :-/ I rather under rate than over rate my serve speed, I think my 1st serve is easily over 90-99 MPH , don't dare say above 100MPH as I really have no clue, but judging from forums, my serve can hit back fence on 1 bounce, it can either skid low, or bounce 3-4 feet into the back fence. Most say should be over 90MPH....but unconfirmed lah.


Not bad Kev 153KPH =95MPH don't forget most pro's are above 6 feet as well :-p

Aiyooo common sense, Nadal has no reason to go deep into tournaments and try and win, he is already World No:1 for the year, I suspect the ONLY tournament he wants to perform and win is the Year End Championships, the rest IF he does try and win he has less time to recover for his knees and LOL I don't think that what he wants if he wants to win OZ and complete the Rafa slam, holding ALL grand slams at the 1 time though not in a calender year, but if he wins OZ, French is a given and Wimbledon 80-20 in his favor......

I THINK I may like it when I am older now still 40 still can hit quite ok lah, but when I hit 50 I think I better use more arm friendly racket like the BLX I already have a BLX 6.1 tour that is hanging on my wall, for now I am extremely happy with the K6.1 tour at 45lbs.

BLX for me is too muted, I like the raw, crisp feeling of the K6.1 tour better.

For that low a tension I can play without dampener, as a dampener only eliminates the high frequency 'pinging' and thats it, it doesn't really reduce vibration to the arm thats my opinion anyway, other people may have a different opinion on it, though.

Hahahaaa not really I sambung balik around late 2007 or early 2008, I stop for 15 - 18 years I am not 100% sure which year I stop, most likely 1990-1992.....but I know after I got hired , no time to play, kena racun clubbin and the things that follow clubbin......then biasa lah.....I am very enthuasistic about tennis, but may not be a good role model x-p, things I can help you with, I will try, but things I have no experience in, I have to listen to sifu here or gather information via google :-p

Bro if you bought a good racket, use it, hopefully you can extract all the good benefits while playing with it, it should increase the rate of your progress, if you have any questions, feel free to post here, I am sure someone here will be glad to help, take care.

Heard that Wilson coming out new models next year including babolat too...
this coming november n december will be warehouse sale too.

New models for existing series right, ie still BLX line, only racket I know that is supposed to come out for BLX series is the 'K-Blade' team/tour/lite, saw that the racket paint job is not that nice, but am not 100% sure if that is the finalised paint job.

hahaha you welcome bro, as long as you bought from reputable shop or authorised dealer, have fun, with your new weapon of mass destruction!!!

Just take note , there are too many 'fakes' or counterfeit grade 'AAA' replica's out there.
No point spending your hard earn money on fake item, that later give you injury and cost you more $$$ by vistinng doctor's etc...
