those wanna prepare for CTO come play me la in sunway hehehe, i will lambung the ball as high as possible to test your patience:) once u train got patience then im sure u will do well in CTO:) you can start booking me now hehehehe

Prae,

I was hoping u can order 1 container fr me for your next racquets order & Black Widow in 1 lorry
I will arrange the logistics company to send the goods to ur home address

vobs, personally i would prefer players like daang or hossen to win the title... they r more 'normal' tennis players....

no offence to the champs which they deserved d title truely ... but the tennis style they adapt is kinda 'unorthodox'... i bet u wont teach u student to play like that either...

my dua puloh sen opinion...

tiangkim,

its true but in our level .. we have to play lambung style to go far.. hehe.. even the past champion also similar tactics.. after watching these guys play.. they catch every ball and send the ball deep.. if the ball lands short then they attack ..

june cto maybe?

most welcome... oh yea so how was the balls??? was it ok?

btw my fren say he found another supplier who can deliver the balls faster, and also will give 1 to 1 exchange if the cans of balls got problem... the catch is extra 50sen per can...

let me know if the balls is good and i will ask him if he can get the previous supplier.....

what's style the latest cto champs play? moon baller ? pusher ?

is it they always lambung the ball kow kow?

i think we need to learn how to kill moon balls...

thts why we need vobs to teach us how to punish moon ballers

Judging from this comment, the CTO winner did take my tips to heart.. a win is a win is a win.

I remember overhearing some strategy which involves daang.. "engkau lambung je bola balik kat dia.. tengok berapa banyak bola power dia boleh return..."

pls dont dont miss understand.... those champs r extremely good player indeed, they r not merely moonballer. Let me point out their strong points:

- very good control. They can lob very high and land almost at baseline, which the ball eventually bounce almost at the fence.... Try to do that 10 times, see how many ball u can do at baseline (not service line neither out)? and they can control left or right and even on the run... if the ball bounce at service than is easy to smash/kill... but if at baseline and backhand some more and u can't attack well from tht position... and they can do it consistently....

- very good footwork.... they get to the perfect position to hit a stroke... this is discipline and it could only achieve by Traning, Training and Training.....

- change pace and their opponent ryhtym... u will play his game, not ur game.....

- they attack at the right timing, u attack them 5 times they wont die, they attacks u once kau tim.....

- they literally can hit any spin... top, side, under u name it. ... and hit it well!!!.... this will make their opponent struggle to adapt the match ryhtym... opponent can't expect what kinda ball coming next....

- they have patient, read the game well.....

- enough????

To play them, like Lion Daang said we need everything, fh, bh, slice, strong serve, volley, patient.... take the ball on the rise.... but all this is fairly high risk strategy... u need peRFect timing to execute the shots....

I used to say we need an 5.0 attacker to beat a 4.0 defender....

kinda long... hope not bore...

if they lob a moon ball to the baseline IMHO i think can still kill, with an overhead smash.... but i know its not easy........ IMO a player with a very good and powerful serve can kill a moon ball tht lands baseline... like lion daang

Thanks to Vobs and Jules for taking care while i was severely cramp. I never know cramp could be that uncomfortable pains. Worse kind of pain feeling. Seems like in hell or worse. Dont know how to described it. Move bit cramp, move that angle also cramp, Dont move also cramp. From toes to my hand finger all cramp.

I think if without Vobs and Jules help, i probably at this moment still lying down at Duta Court 1 like a "dead fish". haha! i guess i pushed my body limit too far.

i agree with u... u need to be very very good to beat these type of high consistency players.... so we cant do anything but to keep on continue to improve ourselves..... practice more, share tips more, play more, and etc.........

ur welcome, too bad u couldnt make it....do try to make it in the next CTO, its an experience u will never forget:)

Wow... very detailing info of moonballer playing style. Gain alot of experience & exposure from this CTO iv. haha!

hahha, i will teach my students how to win based on their levels and skills:)

unorthodox method is like "white rice" that is tasteless, but if u fried it with ingredient and spices it taste good:) even you uses unorthodox technique at times ma:)

like inv says, a win is a win:)

Added on February 28, 2011, 6:33 pmthose who watch daangs semi match will know the tactic or can ask angel, already told him how to....but in order to do that u need to practise your skills and be focus of mastering it. cos moonballers will never let go any balls:) ask sani to be your opponent....he is a good moonballer for singles

Woooi Sophi....long time no see!!!, How are you? Hope everything is fine and well! If you are free and have time, please contribute to the forums, dun shy shy like endangered species!!!
AHHHH Proton tauke....if I kena Supreme Toto jackpot I will surely find you!!!! Alas I am 'small fry' and I have many debts.......and also too many hobbies!!
If you have Dunlop demo rackets, you should ask fellow tennis kaki and let them try, mana tahu they like it, and can buy from you, of course you must give excellent sales service! But I know your service is legendary one.......<3
Hmmm this comment is a bit unfair to people who work very hard especially in their fitness.....its not their fault the style they use is not 'normal'. I am not bashing you or the aforementioned player. That's why you have to give people real respect when they play 'ugly' and win, on the ATP level , Fabrice Santoro is Marat Safin's worse enemy....Safin has publicly stated he would rather die than play Santoro........goggle this if you want.


You're spot on, work on your fitness, work on your backhand, and overhead, just practice like what would happen in a match, be ready for anything and everything....work together as a team and perform drills with and together.
Please make sure bro, that you are properly hydrated at all times,especially when you are still recovering, please avoid any strenuous activity for at least a couple of days.Take Care <3

This daang also need to kena marah from me....think he still 18 years old and playing state tournament meh.......lunch dowan eat, wear dark shirt during afternoon play and never take care proper diet intake.....of course koyak, but with that he also masuk final, imagine he do it properly physically and metally, then other CTO i will ban him leow hehehhe

i guess this is what they call a junker in the tt forums.. haha!

WAH Daang you are my new hero! Hehheh I can wear black in the heat no problem.....in fact I thrive on heat...the hotter the better....but you ask me NOT to eat lunch...........YOU CRAZY KAH!?!!!If you try and separate me and a plate of nasi campur.....this means war....I take no prisoners k!! :-p
