Hey guys , cya guys tmr at pj club k. 6 pm k so got time to warm up.
Just finish playing with the Clearwater team. We got thrashed 8-1 overall. I played with a ex national and another very good young club player. We got thrashed 8-1. Haha. It was fun playing with such very good players. Most of the players are senior players. It was a very fun experience overall.  Added on June 11, 2011, 9:01 pmI was soo happy I manage to get 1 game out the game on my serve. They were so humble and very friendly players.

hey gmorgue ,
my friends just went n play there today so i will check with them on the condition of the courts.. .. they kept asking me to enquire via phone to book the courts..Added on June 15, 2011, 5:27 pmhi amuletSpade, May I know where are you located? if in KL, u can go to topper sports, sportprises or tennistown.. all these shops owners can help you to find a good racket. We here in this forum can also recommend to you some good deals on rackets if we know your requirements . Normally find a light racket < 280g and a bigger headsize > 100 sq inch to start off as it would be easier for you to develop your strokes. QUOTE(AmuletSpade @ Jun 15 2011, 05:16 PM) Helo! I've been playing tennis on and off but thinking of starting again since my friend is interested and we're both newbies XD;; So far I've only been rallying with the wall (sad life I know...) This post has been edited by k3vin82: Jun 15 2011, 05:27 PMI'm interested in getting a new racket since all the while I've been using one with the grip a bit too large. And since I know nuts about rackets, any sport store with the owner being able to provide recommendations? |

I am currently using a prostaff 6.0 95 chiao ta 16x18 version, my backup is a tecnifibre tfight 320 vo2max and head microgel prestige MP. All stock frames and not leaded up.. My string setup is always full poly, Redcode is my fav string followed by other polys like volkl cyclone, pacific polyforce, prosupex's , topspin's.
Started out using crossfire 2 but now have gone for more cheaper and durable strings. My first racket i bought was like around 5 years ago which was a 2nd hand iRadical OS .. Then about 3 years back i bought my first brand new racket the wilson Kblade MP . After i found out about the tennis forum in sg about 2 yrs + back , i sold my Kblade and tried; -Tecnifibre Tfight 320 - Tecnifibre Tfight 320 vo2max (still keeping) - Youtek speed pro - Youtek speed MP 16x18 - Babolat pure storm - Babolat pure storm GT - Head microgel radical MP - Head youtek prestige MP - Prince tour diablo MP - Prince tt warrior MP - volkl quantum 10 tour (still keeping) - dunlop aerogel 200 (still keeping) - Head microgel prestige MP (still keeping) - Head youtek speed MP 18x20 (just bought cos it was on sale for 75 usd) Some classic racket i am collecting (started this yr) - Head trisys 260 bumblebee radical (made in austria) - Prostaff 6.0 85 st vincent - Head competition 2 - Head competition 3 - Wilson jack kramer autograph - prostaff classic 6.1 95 - prostaff 6.0 95 QUOTE(Dark_Angel85 @ Jun 15 2011, 08:03 PM) If you're in KL, just drop by at topper sports or Ultimate Sports, they have good deals there... even in Pertama Komplex they have 1-2 shops on the first floor that gives good deals in both strings and racquets... but I regularly visit Topper Sports and Ultimate Sports instead... I even have their cards... I'll scan them and see if it'll help anyone This post has been edited by k3vin82: Jun 15 2011, 11:20 PM[attachmentid=2275598][attachmentid=2275601] These 2 pictures are for ULTIMATE SPORTS [attachmentid=2275599][attachmentid=2275600] These are for TOPPER SPORTS... Well, just hoping it'll help maybe those who need to know more details.. Added on June 15, 2011, 8:11 pm@kev I am using currently 3 Wilson K6.1 95.s with added +-20grammes, which totals it to about 330 grammes, the weight was added to the bottom of the handle... I have been using Ashaway Crossfire Strings pulled to 54lbs-58lbs all my life and I don't think I've transitioned very well with any other strings.... I've tried: Babolat Pro Hurricane Tour @ 56lbs Technifibre Red code @56lbs Technifibre Black Code @56lbs Luxilon BB Alu Power Rough @55lbs Luxilon BB Original @55lbs Dunlop Synthetic Gut @60lbs but I've never gotten used to these polyester strings... I've been tempted to try the Wilson Pro Champion's Choice and Natural Gut.... but $$$$$$ kept me back...  All 3 racquets currently strung with Ashaway Crossfire 17 at 54-58lbs. I used to use Wilson Hyper Hammer 6.5 (the one Serena Williams used to have) and was a steady Prince Triple Threat Scream (the yellow one) for many-many years before making a switch to the Wilson K6.1 95s.... If you wanna date back during the days when I just started.... hehehehe (ahhhh... the good ol' days when I was 9 years old) it was a Rossignol (can't remember the model honestly) and Head Aluminium Racquet... hehehe... don't ask me about the string setup for those though... you? |
