Get the new asics resolution 3 man. Very nice looking . Or the 2 which is sold in topper I think. Alot of pros using em. Those without sponsor.

Hmm, I checked with the tennis-warehouse site, the customers are giving mixed reviews bout the shoe. I'm kinda umm apprehensive bout the shoe

lol. does the T22 give you a nice and secure fit?
I'll ask around for recommendations before I'll ask the dealers.
Since you guys are telling me the Rebel doesnt last long, I'll drop it out of my list. Thanks  biggrin.gif

Any suggestion for shoes guys?
*
Well it does give me a secure fit coz I have wide feet,cushioning is unsurpassed, some may find it too soft, for their liking, and some may this is exactly what they are looking for.My suggestion is go to a store, try the Prince T22, with your tennis socks, and walk around for 5 mins, if you like buy em, if you don't, look for another shoe.

I'd recommend Barricade 6, however you may need to go half a size higher if you have slightly wide feet, the cushioning is not on par with the Prince T22 but it is ample, gives off an aura of stability, however I have read that some people rolled their ankle with this shoe, I suspect they need to wear mids, or a ankle brace, I think durability for this shoe is a given, Barricades selling point is its excellent durability.

You could try Nike Court Ballestics 3.3
I personally am not a fan of Nike as the soles wear out extremely fast when I wear em, however I am dying to try these shoes hahahaah. Heard they have decent durability and the fitting is very good as Nike has used a new lacing system where when you lace up, the inside's conform to your foot dynamics, is this marketing jargon ...dunno...have read reviews on talk tennis warehouse that this is true it works....


If you can find one store that has these 3 shoes, go to the store and test em...:-p

Hi guys ^^ new here having college holiday, looking for all time tennis until i study back, beginner here

stay at ampang, near zoo negara,

and there might be tennis club mentioned at previous post but its so many, can someone post again the available tennis club around kl or ampang?

free of charge will be very nice and i think its impossible, the cheaper the charge the better, im not earning now and is in an average family, my sister degree is taking most of my parents earning, i think the rate below RM150 per month is okay

poor boy here want play tennis but none of my friend is enthused in tennis T.T

So far resolution 2 I have 2 friends who have used them and have great feedback on them. Comfort is one of the plus point and it's damn light. I think u can get it from topper for around 240. If I am not mistaken. Last year during the Singapore challenger I can say around 60-70% of the players use em. This shows it's really a great tennis shoe .

Asics have very good comfortability and its lighter than most shoes,thats a given....but I am pretty sure durability is very lacking....depends on what you are looking for comfortability vs durability....

Too bad no 6 month warranty in Asia....

Just imagine buying Adidas 6 for xxx or Nike Court Ballestics 3.3 for hmmm I think market price is RM460 or Asics Gel 2/3 for RM240/RM380 and HALVE that amount because you get the 6 month warranty replacement.....

It no small wonder people in the US buy Nike, coz basically they are paying USD65 per shoe.....if we people in Asia got this lobang, all of us would be sporting cool shoes.....

I dunno why Asian market dun have 6 month warranty its not like we are playing on a worse surface than those in the US......

If you play with more experience players you have a better chance of improving faster.
Just tough it out, bro.

Hi Inv! Top of the morning to ya, mate!
Let me kipas you KAU KAU

No point NOT buying a crank and worrying about Return of interest if you dun pick up the fine art of stringing now!!!
Besides a decent crank machine has very good resale value, you will make a loss, eg you buy a crank machine for RM3000, you charge RM10 per racket , you string say 100 rackets in 24 months, so you made RM1000 on labour alone, if you sell strings ie Pro Supex on the side, you may earn some decent $$$ on the side, you decide you have mastered the art of stringing , you sell your crank say for ........RM 2000-2200....you actually dun lose much, but you have learn how to string really well!!!!

SSSHHHH use Sunway group as guinea pigs ....first 20 rackets string for free as you are still learning, if you do a good job, start chargin lah......
Mobile stringer anyone?
Can hurt to ask Battousai if he has any interest in promoting your services, or anyone else for that matter....

Hmmm good idea to emulate, problem is tennis education here is lacking, extremely poor, people in general only give props to 'coaches' etc. No one mentions the MRT....ahahahh not Singapore Mass Rapid Transit....but Master Racket Technician....however if you become one. You'll need some major funds...

Regarding electronic machines, those are gonna cost ya.....:-/
