Semi finals are now on live on Astro

Rafa won his 7th consecutive Monte Carlo trophy......I agree with CK Rafa didn't look as dominant, his performance this year was abit below his standard, but hey.......he played within his limits and came through, don't forget this is the official start of the clay court season, so it isn't too bad, lets see Rafa's next outing on clay.

hahaha kevin thats why out of the blue I post some photos to kipas ppl, so they reply back.....:-p

wah kev your fraying all in sweet spot! You pandai cari 'sweetspot' leh!! G-spot may be :-p
dun beat me....just liven up the forum!

Hmmmm since you mentioned Prince, I recommend the Prince T22 its the MOST comfortable shoe I have ever worn period.....regarding durability, I cannot give you a detailed information as I only just got the shoe since Feb 2011,so far the sole hasn't worn out yet.

I think pooh88 can get you the Prince shoe around RM260-275 or less, I am not 100% sure on pricing, you can also give vobs a holler, price should be around the same, but to be 100% sure, PM both these wonderful sellers, and try and score a good deal for yourself!

I have heard the Prince Rebel is quite comfortable, but the sole does not last that long, its very light as well.

Yhaaa these shoes are very light, good for very fast movement, also heard quite comfortable but the sole durability is not very good at all, still worth to try if you have the extra funds.

Hmmmm Eason47 had a ncode 6.195 for sale, but I just checked and it looks like he has sold his already. This racket will be naturally hard to find as it 2 generations old, the BLX and K-Factor series are ahead of it.

Wait some new person I saw has a ncode for sale
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1843070&hl=

However some things to note for both seller and potential buyer.
The seller has not stated exactly what model racket he is selling, or he seems unsure, the picture he has shown looks like its off from the internet, please ask the seller for more ACTUAL detailed pictures of the racket. I am only stating this as Wilson counterfeits are everywhere and the I think it started with the Ncode, Kfactor and BLX series were not spared.

If you can physically check the racket, even better, if not ask for more pics.



WAH Kev, I wake up so early see so many nice things......
Looks like many people also buy Gamma Supreme Overgrip, but Black....I would also buy black but dunno why Gamma dun sell this in 30pc reel........
Very keng lah that Head Djoko dampener.......

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

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.....:-/

Hahaha why you think I so expert in 'strings' lol.........
See angle wanna be your first customer!!!

Hheheh I suspect he want free stringing and dun mind become guinea pig ....:-p

I am with kev, even though out of budget, just delay buying a shoe now, and just save abit more, I think long term it will save you some money. Choice is yours lah...just stating my opinion.

eh how come only see 4 people!?!! :-p
I think I see Carto in red guessing lah

Eh ....C'mon Nadal....hahaha he needs the 500 points...just in case....Novak is less than 4000 points behind....with Madrid and Rome coming up thats 2000 points he has to defend......

Kev adidas got any new lobang or not? Just asking only....

wah piang....nadal has to face del poltro in 2nd round match in Madrid Open.....this will be tough, Del Poltro just won a tournament, he has a very good chance of beating Rafa on clay.....x-p

WAH!
Very nice!!!
The bag on 3rd pic also very nice.Special order from tennis warehouse or bought locally?

Yhaaa I am back from outstation lol!
Wah Nadal Lost to Djoker.....straight set some more,I think writing is on the wall, no way Nadal will be World No:1 by the end of July......too many points to defend........I think the No:1 ranking will be go to and fro to either Nadal and Novak.....next year, Novak will have TOO many points to defend, he must win OZ, Dubai,Indian Wells, Miami, Serbia Open,Madrid Open.....ouch ....

This year looks interesting.....dunno who will win the French and Wimbledon, of course never count out Roger , he is always a threat on Wimbledon!

If seedings go as follows: No:1 seed Rafa, and No:2 Novak, they can only meet in Finals.....but dunno who will face no:3 seed Roger in semi's......x-p

Oops just read something!

Congrats to Daang for winning CTO!
