Those that went to ATP Malaysian Open, like last year we can just buy the tickets at the ticket counter booth at the stadium right?
No need to book and all... since I saw yesterday on TV the seats are practically empty.

Planning to go on Thursday.

Different strokes for different strokes lah, if you have time to setup, good for you.
Speaking for myself since my forehand grip is eastern, and backhand is bodering between full eastern and eastern, I can hit almost anything with continental , but I sure switch to other grips depending on the incoming ball.

I don't think 45lbs on a 90 square inch racket is that big a deal lah, lol I use to like stringing semi high around 58-60 but that time I only kena exposed to synthetic gut, and cross fire in the 90's after I stop playing for 15 years, I came back, checked out the tennis scene, I was so blur man, people taling about poly's......I had no clue, so try loh order from tennis-warehouse string at same tension, initially my arm didn't complain but after playing for 3 months, I noticed I had a sharp pain near the inside of my elbow....every day after tennis....I had almost of no injury during my early days, I blame everything to my lack of fitness, mana tahu.....I decide to experiment on myself, I stop playing for a week, I was pain free on the 5th day.....decide to string to cheap synthetic gut and play, no pain......KNNNNN.I then remembered I had strung my racket with kevlar strings at 48lbs, so I made a mental note to do that with poly. 2 days later my synthetic gut snapped in 3 places....string back to poly at lower tension at 48lbs I noticed more playability and lol if you believe it more spin, or the ability to produce easier topspin, I was a believer from then.

However this is my experience and I am sharing with the forum, your experience may be different. Just go out and experiment abit, have fun.

bro prae is right, heres my story to support his.

I stopped about 8 years and back again 2 years ago, i was like what is hybrid setup with poly? so i tried it strung at 60lbs (regret of my tennis life as it gave me tennis elbow right away) i also blame on my fitness that i have elbow pain, and for 1 year i play with elbow problem not knowing it is actually the string and tension that contributed to it.

after a long survey on the internet and some advice from bro prae, and after many different tensions and strings setup, I still couldnt find the right tension for polys (cos i dont believe in stringing it below 55lbs).

after 2 months of rest recently due to sickness, i came back playing again and the elbow pain came back right away, i was like sigh, just play with it la as i tot its already permanent.

just 2 weeks ago, since i had 2 racquets, i use one and try it strung 40/42lbs and voila, the pain is much much lesser now. its either two things:

1) ive been building my arm/elbow muscles daily hoping it will help in my elbow problem
2) because i use a hybrid setup at low 40lbs poly

after 2 weeks of trying, im now a believer as well, strung poly at lower tension, it will still feel like a tension above 50lbs without giving pain to those have elbow issues.

Thats my view la, it may feel different for others with other types of racquet:)

More accurate for Cortex Rackets is the youtube video. BTW, mine has all the characteristics of the 'authentic' one and none of the characteristics of the fake one.

Btw, I don't have any warranty card, neither have I heard of Babolat giving warranty cards. Is it something they do lately, or is it in the same camp as the people who insist on hologram stickers? FYI, even in the video the guy admitted that authentic Babolat dont come with hologram stickers, just the sticker with their brand name and serial number. So are all the Babolats in reputable stores like World of Sports etc.

Regards
Ryan
