Added on October 14, 2010, 10:19 amWOIII you so early 'sell' my name!!!
:-p
I also learn from you guys leh.....
Battousai I think very busy with coaching or work or BOTH lol. He use to post on lowyat as well, but I suspect he is lurking in forums hehehehe. Naturally he has more experience in International sanctioned tournaments via ITF and he is well versed in local tournaments as well, you guys should ask him for advice on how to prepare for your CTO III tournaments. If he can give you tips, make sure you listen with open ears.

Mr Daang (player of the year) ...if vobs say this guy is player of the year.....then he must be good, if you can actually see a advance player in action, for sure you can pick up tips subconsciously, doesn't hurt to ask as well.

vobs pandai act act....he tangkap our style , adjust fit his play and later kautim us on the court!!!

Don't worry CK win/lose does not matter as long as try your best and you had a good time, that all that counts, always got other tournaments lah.....

So in the end who won the tournament? Or sambung today....can play singles and doubles in 2 days? Must have alot of courts then....

Morning fella's!
Wah looks like alot of you kena bitten by tournament bug! If like that must train harder, eat healthier, practice and do more drills, and play more matches!!!

:-p

I am old unkle, so I leave all this all to our youngsters!

I just wanted to do a small string review:
I am not too sure if any of you have experience with this string, some of you may have, if you have please post what you thought of the string, below is my personal opinion of the string, as you know, different people will have different opinions on a particular string. heheheh

I had a packet of Signum Pro Poly Plasma for a while, my previous experience with Signum products is Signum Pro Tornado and Signum Hyperion I use to buy reels of both, as I enjoyed hitting with them. The other day I broke 3 strings while playing a match with some youngster....(banyak rugi that day....lucky I win in straight set, other days sure kena ketuk one) Anyway I was looking to fool around with some other string, I was looking at Pacific X force 16 and Solinco's Tour Bite....I had no luck sourcing Pacific X force, and luckily heheheeh thanks to mr.vobs I secured a packet of Solinco's Tour Bite.

Now I had 3 rackets to string......
I strung 1 k6.1 tour with Signum Pro Poly Plasma at 50lbs, another K6.1 tour with Solinco's Tour Bite at 48lbs, the other I strung with Signum Pro Tornado 17G at 45lbs (this is my preferred tension)

Yesterday the sun was shining ....the birds were singing...and I was smiling.....
First of I have been using K6.1 tour with Signum Pro Tornado for at least 1 solid year, this is my go to stick, I always use this as a reference.

Ok first up, Signum Pro Poly Plasma...the color of the string was something like a neon orange, looked kinda cool in my blacked out K6.1. Ok time to hit the courts, when I first hit the ball I was very surprised, this string looked like it had potential.

Groundstrokes: My initial 30 mins with the string were decent at best, the spin coming off the racket was slightly below what Tornado could do, however the power behind the shot Poly Plasma came up ahead, for people with arm issue's I THINK Tornado is softer than Poly Plasma, but Poly Plamsa the hitting of the ball is crsiper, which I liked alot.

Serves: This is where I don't like this string.....I was expecting to produce some power coz on the groundstrokes this string was kickin ass....on the serves it just wasn't clicking at all..... :-/

Volleys: BWAHAHA this is where this strings SHINE, volleys were crisp, and solid, I could feel the balls on my racket, touch shots were Oooii LA LA LA!!!

Ok now to see this setup in a match, I played 2 set of doubles with this, overall I like this string ALOT, I have learnt , now that I have used this string for 3 days that it is playing better....serves are starting to pick up. I decided to get a reel of this stuff and experiment with the tension, I think something along the lines between 42-48lbs I should hit my sweet spot.


Solinco Tour Bite.
Not easy to string make sure your grommets are wide, coz this string is SQUARE....try fitting that in something shaped 'O'...LOL

Also for 16G the string looks awfully thick, I take some callipers to measure them later on.....

Strung on K6.1 tour at 48lbs.

Groundstrokes: Spin reproduction was very good, 8.5/10, this string is not as soft as Tecnifibre Blackcode, but its quite close, it's not as crisp as Signum Pro Poly Plasma,feel was decent at best.If you are using this string, hahaha use new balls and see the 'LINES' on the balls after you hit the ball...lol, I killed 2 tubes of balls within 30 hour....logo on the ball 'disappeared'.

Serves: OMG!!! This string SHINES on serves, bwhahahahah kick serves (9.5/10) for me easily reach 6 feet,without trying...this weekend if I manage to get a HD camera I will take video, flat serves were 7.5/10....Power was decent.

Volleys: I only got 5 mins of volleying with this setup as more tennis kaki arrived and they wanted to play match ASAP.

I have NOT played a match with this yet,sorry.
Will update you guys.
All in all I am a happy with my experiment.

If you have any questions or like to share you experience with any strings please feel free to share!
Thanks!

WOOOI klboy blackcode review done ages ago!!! Use the search button!!! HHEHEH

.........your nick klboy89 some more.....must be born 1989.....cilaka.....how can you be old like unkle prae....HOW?!!!

You bapa just got 3rd APDGT for you again.......sienzzzz :-p.....
KNNN klboy kuat tipu....CTO3 never help buy burger.........I die of starvation......:-(

Later this week I post full review of Solinco Tour Bite k.

Which Dunlop are you talking about, kev? Dunlop Fort (I heard these are no longer in production but I may be wrong) or Dunlop Fort Elite?US Open is ok, but doesn't last me a set,good balls for coaching though.

wooi please don't say guru.....lah unless GURU CINTA! ;-p......
Sorry man I have not used Point balls before, the hardest ball that does not ever go soft is Tretorn balls.....these balls were well and truly hard.....if you survived getting hit by Tretorn balls at the net you will survive anything.

Added on October 22, 2010, 9:43 amDepend on what level you are if truly beginner than user trainer...but say if can hit a bit may be NTRP 2.5-3.5 I use good US Open balls, students no need to adjust as 'trainer' balls are just to soft, no point hitting well with trainer balls , then when play match use normal balls, KAPUT.....later I kena ear thrashing so I tend to oblige my students leh, small cost to pay if you have many students, who are happy with the extra service..

Wah like that karom is a pro then, use this ball not easy sial, its light and fast, if playing on cement court sure kena 20-30 aces one, good for training your strokes forces you to prepare early, if serve and volley, even better......if slow sure kena black & blue one x-p, naturally the felt on the ball kena last lah, lol

aiyoh angel don't worry, I would not say to add another playing style, MAYBE the players you are playing with are comfortable with your ball speed, if you can practice hitting harder, or add more spin or junk (weird spin, like side,top/spin together) make them feel uncomfortable, and yes you can try another style to! Serve and volley, don't give up lah... you are LOWYAT TENNIS KAKI!!! MANA Boleh.......our geng sure will help one, need to know your time/schedule first lah.

Yep thats the one lol good memory :-p

OOOPS!!!!
No lah not open new can PER session......later I give the wrong impression I 'print' money!!! VERY FAR from the truth, I have 2 ball hoppers 1 is filled with 'trainer' the other with US Open balls......I change the balls MAYBE every 15-20 sessions, depends on the condition of the balls, if they need to be change, change loh...BUT NOT every session .....please.....if I have access to KL ball prices.....then can consider :-p J/k


wah vobs you become Solinco dealer!!!
Got price for reels or not :-p

Just to let potential buyers know, I have had multiple good transaction with bro vobs, from KL to East Malaysia, I can get the barang2 the NEXT day....very efficient! Highly recommended!
