u can check at v.selvam in duta on satday when u come....
friends of my sent their kids there. Selvam has 1 to 1 and group coaching. My friend said group type, u pay 1 fee then u can go as many days as u want per week. Fees i dont know....
Feedback from my friend is good. Selvam is the best pro player ever in Msia. My friends kids have solid ground stroke which is fundamental for tennis game.
Maybe folks here know other better, pls share....

glad to hear a player's father wanna send his kid for coaching... i think is better... after the kids have the foundation then only play with parents....
i have seen player's parent coaching kid... most of the time the outcome is not so good.... a coach is needed to develop the right stroke... only with strong foundation, thing can prosper and develop.... same in life also....

i have decided my next tennis gear (shoes, racket etc...) will go for unpopular brands like k-swiss, li-ning, tecnifiber, pacific, asics etc....
i believe they have quality products but just could not compete with Nike Adidas Wilson Babolat for superstars endorsement.

bro inv, we were discussing just now... in tennis, u win points by two ways: making winners by urself, ur opponent UEs, etc...
i know is very 'gaya' to make winners, but also important to keep the ball in play...
for me, example like federer, he is to used to win points by winners... he doesn't bother bout free point for his opponent... he needs to change this as his competitors now are more competitive... like shanghai today....

QUOTE(Daang @ Oct 18 2010, 06:30 PM) Its really fun playing at CTO3, get to see Ck, Kevin, Tiang Kim, Carto and Vob struggling battling with their opponent. My 1st time playing tournament with them and when it comes to lunch time, we will gather at the canteen chit chatting. Analyzing players during their matches and a quick tips on how to play this/that opponent ah... Its really like a happy family atmosphere sharing same hobbies. You also will get to see different players with different skills. Hard hitters, Soft hitters, Consistency play style and even unique/weird style used by champion. Moonball till base line when returning fast balls, once in awhile change the rhythm by slice/topspin/dropshot. Confusing the opponent till duno what to do and end up unforced error. Generally its mostly defensive play style and its enough to earn him a champion easily. As usual, after a tournament i discover my weakness, have to work on it. Cant wait for the next tournament!!! Guess it will be UM!!! hehe!! @vob: Do you have rizal phone number? Want to play with him! hehe!! and let me know when can play with hiroe too and of course wait till your shoulder heal... hehe  bro daang, let me know the UM info when u have it... overthere is the real jungle... predators and victims games!!! |

Guys, remember during the break we sit in the canteen to watch Shanghai Open.... I was telling CK how lonely to watch tennis at home alone...  Perhaps during one of the big match (maybe London final or sth) we organize to watch at a place.... and hopefully is a fed match cox u will c me yell like mad guy!!!!
