Ps85 in stock? Any1 interested? If volume substantial I would do a bulk, string n grips r free tax

I think d least marketable no. 1 shud b Lendl...he's like a machine, just play to win, fierce look, a comrade during cold war....

guys,

i've recently changed my backhand from single handed backhand to double handed backhand.

can you guys recommend me a good racket cause i think my current one (Kfactor 6-one-tour) wasn't really made for double handed backhand due to its smaller head size.

ps: double handed backhand is awesome and so much easier to hit compared to single handed backhand.

My friend watched exhibition match between federer and sampras....I watched at TV...his server was still POTONG STIMMM....

Generally, i think Benz and Rolex are enough for federer....I wonder why nobody sponsor Sampras...Oh yeah, i remember last time there was 1 famous advertisement ENERGIZER and Michael Chang...I find that a bit funny lar...only pakai his name which cant see his face.

hi guys
reading all your comment make me want to play tennis :0
very hard to play since finish degree n plus got small baby (nadal wannabe)

so now my friends ask me to play again.. but i got major prob..
i need sifu's advise on purchasing a good tennis racquet...

~ i am left-handed player and two handed backhand...
and with current condition, i can play maybe once in a month..
so i dun want to buy expensive racquet.. heheh

so which racquet i should buy?
thanks

I agree with inv to get a cheap racquet. However, it's not necessarily a second hand one because you can get even brand new ones for about RM200++. I however recommend you to get a GOOD one. Not some TESCO or some cheap frame that you can get out of some retail market. That'll just discourage you from continuing the game cause it really sucks in ball pocketing and frame vibration. Just notice the neck of those TESCO racquets. They aren't one piece, the neck is always a separate piece at the throat of the racquet. AVOID THOSE!

I recommend actually a cheap Dunlop Aerogel which goes probably RM550 for 2. Do you have ANY tennis ability/history? Are you athletic? what sports do you play before this? All these answers help in buying a racquet.

RULES of THUMB however:

1. Get one as HEAVY as you can carry and swing for days. NOT heavy for you to swing for an hour and later on tire out after that. Don't be pulled in by the temptation of lightness. A lot of new players like to hold and go "Oh man, that's light... I like that!". Go for as heavy as you can manage.

2. I'd actually recommend a midplus. probably in the range of 100 square inches. Nothing too big though like those ol' Wilson W series. I think oversize or midsized racquets do need some kinda playing to get the feel of using these 2 extremes. However, if you get a chance to hit with these sticks, try it. Who knows? You might like the PS85. kakaka

3. GRIP!!!! Please read up on grips/grip size/replacing a grip etc... too many a times I see newbies swing a racquet with the plastic still wrapping the grip or wrapping an overgrip WITH the plastic still wrapping the replacement grip. For more precise info:

4. STRINGS STRINGS STRINGS! Please avoid poly/kevlar or any string that either says MAX DURABILITY/STIFF/POLY/SUPERSPIN or stuff like that. Go for the softer strings to begin with. Some multis actually do last quite long and it's softer during contact. You will enjoy the pocketing of the ball better and it helps when you're trying to recognise the feel of the ball. String low too. If you get any multi, I think maybe 50lbs would be a good way to begin. anything lower might affect control or anything higher might just put your elbow at risk (cause I assume a lot of misshits during the learning process).

ERm... that's all I can think of for now..

CHeers

inv, don't you feel that when you still have the plastic cover on the grip, when u put an overgrip around it somehow the sweat doesn't get absorbed well causing the grip to feel slippery?
