hey areza,
welcome to lyn forum. Thanks for organizing a great tournament.. Looking forward for future tournaments.. Will try to get my kaki's in sg to join in also next time.. The guy who has a condo is it kelvin wongs doubles partner? I'm trying to hook up with kelvin to play singles and get more practice for upcoming tournaments. Thanks for the headsup. |

QUOTE(areza75 @ Oct 19 2010, 07:54 PM) then maybe u can try playing with vinay. he's a singles player and it seems like its easy for him to get courts, coz he did mention that he doesnt have a problem. lemme msg him on fb and ask him if he's keen. Thanks man..Added on October 19, 2010, 10:02 pm QUOTE(karim_pin @ Oct 19 2010, 09:14 PM) University Malaya Invitational Tennis Tournament. wow , courts there pretty bad condition edi.. i tot UM has some nicer courts than this..Pictures from last year tournament http://www.facebook.com/photo_search.php?o...580027&view=all .

hi al3x y,
I've ordered from TW many times. Didnt have any problems at all.. i always choose UPS as its quite reliable and the tracking is very detailed. I've ordered all my items to Singapore. just be aware of taxes for some items brought into m'sia. Heard there are some high taxes for apparels . U can stuff lots of things together with 1 shipment of racket and the shipping cost will still be the same.. stuff worth buying are like grips, strings.. u can ask your kaki's to share on the cost.. happy ordering..  .. |

Feel Dunlop fort is hard when fresh off the can then after maybe 5 min of hitting it feels like us open edi. I feel us open is nice off the can. I also like head ATP balls but kinda pricey. Alot of felt. Banyak bulu. Just bought a few to test.

The silver part is not strong n the handle is coming apart edi.
Added on October 23, 2010, 10:00 amVobs, my aim is to make it to the knockout at least. Then set other targets. On the way back after hitting. Nice weather but play suck today. This post has been edited by k3vin82: Oct 23 2010, 10:00 AM |

Yup, the squash courts still behind there n the swimming pool still there. I also not sure got major renovation or not cos I onli been here 2-3 yes onli.
Yala another factor to be successful in tournament is the sun factor. Normally we don't play in the hot sun. Haha. Onli play 8-10 or night time most of the time. When play in cto, die edi. Haha. Anyone can recommend good sunglasses for tennis. Seems like during cto sunglasses is neccessary. Thinking of getting one |

Yio chu kang is still the popular place for tennis because it's just beside the mrt. It's currently 2nd behind kallang tennis centre I think.

QUOTE(epie @ Oct 23 2010, 11:11 AM) guys, I've tried both speed n blx . I think if u wanna get the speed , get the 18x20 version or I feel radical line is much nicer n similar to the blx 61 95s . Speed I feel is abit stiffer feel to it. The 16x19 speed I had lastime I didn't like when hitting off centre because the string pattern is dense in the middlei have been poisoned by head youtek speed used by djokovic my blx only 2 months old and still serves me well should i get the youtek or should i not any big difference between blx n youtek?
