Welcome to LYN Tennis Thread v11

This thread is intended first and foremost for people to share and discuss about our favourite game - "TENNIS" and secondly to make new friends and to have fun on the court. Feel free to ask some of our resident sifus here on tennis equipments (racquets, strings, customizations), tennis techniques, great deals and places to play. Would love to have more active members posting their experiences and sharing their thoughts. Mostly let's keep this thread clean and try to STICK to tennis related talks though sometimes we can always have some fun jousting and poking at each other smile.gif

<quote>Hey redheart, how to you book the courts in kompleks sukan negara? Indoor or outdoor? How much n hour??</quote>

usually we don't book the court as i see that it is not a famous game like badminton which have to book earlier or else it will fully booked... this kompleks sukan have two outdoor court... (i'm also trying to look an indoor court nearby but not yet find... duta court is quite far from my place...) ... most of the time the court is empty so we don't really book the court... we just simply come and straight away go to counter and pay...the counter open until 9.30 pm or 10 pm i think... it costs RM15 per hour at night... at evening is more cheaper but i'm not sure the costs as we usually play at night...

yesterday also i played tennis with my friends... we play double... but i was really disappointed coz along the game, only once i get success in my serve... the rest all failured... what a beginner!!! lol...

Wow, cool! Can i join you guys one of these days?

As for serves during game, just put the ball into play in whatever way possible to get the game going, even if it ends up being blasted in the return of serve. Let the opponent get the chance to have unforced errors too!

Develop your serves in practice. It helps to get a coach to identify and rectify your error as well.. but before you go train on your 210kmh+ first serve, train for a reliable second serve first so you always have a good serve to fall back on.

Actually, i would strongly recommend to any beginners to get second hand racket. It has its perks.

Hmm, it seems that most ppl string their poly in the region of 45 to 53lbs, except for a few. I'm using a hybrid of ultimatum spin n syn gut at 58lbs on my exo3 tour. Plays a lot better than maxim touch at 53lbs.

I cant go BKK.... timing, cost: flight, hotels, food...... I shud b moving to S.Petaling by then so it will pretty close to me..

yeah RM120 is crazy price....come support Msia Tennis before it goes to drain...if u look at the seat occupancy last couple yrs was pathetic......ATP would think twice again to renew the contract with us.......
*
It's damn cheap indeed. But too bad that most of us can't attend the weekday matches without taking leave from work.

Aiya, made flight reservation to bkk last year BUT its just a few days after the finals. Grrr.... next time must look at the atp schedule first..

Criteria for newbie racket, less than 300g, preferably not head heavy, at least 98 sqin headsize.

I have only tried hybrid with poly as mains and syn gut as cross. The soft syn gut helps dampened the stiff poly somewhat.
