Seems like that la.. but i my old babolat apd still serve me well, dunno when i shud change the racquet.

Stich bro,

Cheap la ur lesson, izit in Ipoh?

Anybody knows what is the meaning of 'swingweight' of a racquet and how does it affects our game?

Yes neoz , it's in YMCA Ipoh. Maybe if you do not mind waiting turns in training, you can seek around for YMCA around your area. =D

...got that off the 'net ...good thing i checked, since i was going to answer something about hanging a piece of weight from the tip of the racquet and the effect from swinging that around ...fortunately i remembered that was for measuring the stiffness of a racquet...

...anyway, basically it means how the racquet feels when you swing the racquet, in that it feels head-heavy or head-light... the former makes the racquet more stable on impact but at the expense of mobility while the latter makes the racquet more manoeuvrable but less stable i.e. twisty on impact... depends on the user really which one they prefer...

...i still remember when i first bought and used the wilson hammer profile way, way back then... (they'd just released the range...) *nostalgic* wow, that was kinda revolution in racket technology, i suppose... where the racquet felt well-balanced when you swing it, but the weight was actually all in the head, making it very stable on impact but quite easy to swing... too bad it was just too stiff (brittle actually) for my game... i cracked both my racquets so i sold them to my juniors

...anyway, swingweight generally determines whether a racquet suits a baseliner or serve-and-volleyer... please correct me if i am wrong, though... agassi* wannabes will choose a more head-heavy racquet while sampras* wannabes one with more mobility i.e. head-light... that's some (incorrect) generalisation, but you get the idea...

* i guess these examples give away that i am from that generation

Go and buy racket from bangi la... no nid buy second hand.... there sell very cheap... if u bring gang he sure give u alot of discount

oh i see... thanks.

so that means if i want manuverable i choose a lesser swingweight?

so does that means the stiffer the racquet, the higher the swingweight?

i dont really understand the part "The farther an amount of mass is located from the hand, the more effect it will have on stabilizing the racquet." what does this mean?

hello,
calling P.Pinang people, anybody interested to hit some balls? will be in penang for a couple of days and staying in hotel near Gurney, so wondering if anybody free to hit some balls ? anything just PM me.

No, dude, Sampras likes head-heavy. Since the ProStaff 6.0 is very headlight, he stuck tons of lead tape on the head. The Wilson Hammer was originally developed for him, but he refused to use anything other than his St. Vincents. You can see that the new kProStaff for Sampras is more head-heavy than the k6.1 Tour AND even the kBlade Tour.

Anyone here knows any shop in Kuala Lumpur that sells the Dunlop Racket which John McEnroe uses? I have read some good review of it being a reasonable yet good racket and being a fan of John myself, thought I should get my hands on it. Thx a lot

nope... never seen it here before... u can order from tennis-warehouse.com... i'm ordering my racquet next week.. we can share shipping cost if u wanna buy one too.
By the way... the dunlop maxply mcenroe has such a nice paintjob... & u must be like 50 years old? LMAO....

In regards to my post few days ago:

I already PM-ed the current thread starter in the afternoon yesterday but yet to receive any response/reply from him/her until now. I will wait little longer to see if any answer but at the mean time could you all start discussing who can & willing to takeover the thread starter role for the next thread and get the new thread running as soon as possible?

Thanks

if nobody, i just take over lor...just create the new post rite?its not good to waste the good topic.

What difference(s) does it make to have a new topic and continuing with topic with over 125 pages?

It may cause the server to crash. Is it?
