Long time no see Sophi <3 hope things are well!
Me and pooh tak ngam one, if got chance to 'cucuk' him, must do it! Bwhahahah

Regarding Black Widow I bought a reel, so far its very good, depending on what you are looking for, here is a general idea:

I HATE to say that if you don't have proper strokes yet, though it may help, you won't exactly see a huge difference in your game, if you are 3.5-5.0.....you will see a pretty good improvement in top/under/side/spin .

Spin:8/10
Comfort:9.5/10
Tension Maintenance:8/10
Durability:7/10

I normally string my rackets at 45-48lbs, but with Black Widow I upped it a slight notch at a whopping 50lbs....the above is my own opinion and observation if you string your rackets slightly higher, feel free to add 1-2lbs, based on your preference.

yesterday pooh kipas-ed me with this string... hmm.. can i know wat's the gauge that you are using??

haha prefer thick one coz me poor man ma... tie one time if the string can tahan use as long as i can wahahah..

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.

mini tennis...

that would depend on how old you are, what are your goals in tennis, and your sporting backgrounds as well...

I wouldn't say it's for ALL beginners

i dun really quite agree with what you said... it's a very good way to start n even in fine tuning ur all court game... mini tennis is a good way to begin..
