If I am not mistaken.. those Prince are made in Taiwan.. and now a day no longer can find any Prince like that..  today Prince look like normal racq n made In China...

wah that prince racket looks weird....isnt prince specialised in tennis racket?

about string i dont know though...for me, bg80 only can last about a month...bg66 around 2-3 weeks...
wah 25lbs? its very hard le....btw just got my armortec 900t at 4pm just now......

for me la, i think power player prefers g4 grip....bigger grip can produce more power but less control i think...

wah 25lbs already? geng huh...i havent tried 27lbs yet...cox dulu i try 25lbs, feel weak lo...

might try 27lbs again....

the higher the tension the more control you have
the lower the tension the more power you have

unless u have strong arms go for higher tension! mine is at 24-25

if you want power get a head heavy n a stiff racket

the thinner the string the better the repulsion BG 66 NBG 98 both strings are 0.66mm
but obviously the thinner the easier it breaks haha BG 80 is a good 1 too

i never really bother to take note of the lbs used... maybe it's 22 or 23 or whatever number...but the most recent one, i think it was pretty high and i have problems delivering powerful smashes....

yes im using nanogy 95 on my arc 10 im going to get 98 after my 95 breaks haha

uh regarding tension i got this from this article
"There is always the temptation to go higher in tension, but this is a case of bigger is not always better. Higher tension does not give you more power as mentioned above, beginners should always start with lower tension of around 20lbs, adjust it to 22-23lbs when you progress to intermediate and only go up to 25+lbs if you are gain more power in your technique. Using the inappropriate high tension will make the racket unresponsive, decreased power, and will easily cause injury."

String tension affects the playability of the string as much as the string itself. The general rule of thumb is that the harder you can hit, the tighter your tension can be. A higher tension rewards a hard hitting while robs power from a light hitter. On the opposite end, a lower tensioned string helps light hitter with a better timed trampoline effect.

haha because ur a hard hitter!
if u give a kid a 25 lbs i think he would cry n his whole arm would hurt lolz

im looking for kakis to play at my condo till now havent find any haha dont dare to ask randoms if i could join them lol

but my condo is still pantai hillpark haha

guys...
anyone tried modding their racket to be head heavy?

what kind of tape did you put? i think i dowan to use the cheap black tape which we can buy from supermarket...
any recommendations?

like u said, change to towel grip or may be can use a towel wristband to wipe your hand sweat away without using the thick towel grip.

try using Karakal PU Super Grip and see hehe
where are you from btw?

Added on April 30, 2008, 12:19 pmIn my humble oppinion i think 21lbs is super low, its like the strings that comes with the manufactured rackets.

If you have played badminton before try going for 23lbs =D

Yes, it is believed that bg-66 has the strongest power a string will ever have. But got sacrifice also. Low durablility. A few smashes break liaw.

Neh, when you hit the shuttle.. the dampness of the string determines the feel. Wether you feel it hitting hard or soft depends on the nature of the string.

Dont think so.. Thick strings normally coated with TI contributes to loud bangs but dont there there is any use. Thats my opinion of course.

Power means power la..
