today just got the first taste of tennis... went hitting the wall with 2 of my friends.. one of them has been playing since secondary school.. i manage to get some of the pose right and i look at the footsteps from my friend.. got a couple of good swing and feel when the ball hitting the wall and bounce back to the place i wanted them to be.. looking forward to play again..

u can join my kaki every weekend at sunway

haha.. feeq.. i told u im not from kl eh..

...tacky grips/overgrips, nahhh... not for me... it's nothing bad, just i guess i am used to the normal stuff, so when use the tacky ones, rasa macam something wrong somewhere

...heyyyy, steffi also ka? heh heh... like i said, she's my #1 favourite -athlete- ever! rge way she dominated with her forehand... can watch her play all day... have i told you guys how i saw this -guy- play exactly, and i mean exactly (footwork, forehand, slice backhand, serve motion etc), and yes even the clothes (anyone remember the adidas with the rose motif?)... would have been very funny except he was really good...

...fabrice santoro, yeah... they (media, players) call him 'the Magician' due to his unorthodox style and yes, awesome repertoire... double handed strokes on both wings... he can kill the ball with his slices... heh he's a hoot to watch...

...but for my fave male player, the top person (or thereabouts) would be someone i can, or did model my game on, which would be somewhere along andre agassi, or preferably yevgeny kafelnikov... granted my forehand isn't flat (or powderful) like his, and i hit a one-handed backhand, but i try to copy his court movement and control... which would be a good advice i would give to someone new to the game... try to pick a/a few players you admire for their game, then try to copy their signature strokes... 'try' being the operational word here since the pros have advanced timing and quirks a good coach would not want their charges to copy...but generally, doing that will help improve your game...

(to be continued... bloody monday morning meetings )

cool! When can I come? Is this Wednesday night ok? What time? Is the court indoor or outdoor? since nowadays always rain...

Erm... do u have a map on how to get there?

Search the google map.
Look for "Stadium Sulaiman" just beside the Istana

... hey there Ah Chuan... welcome to the uh... winderful world of tennis... it's quite simple when you look at people playing, and wonder 'i can do that'... the truth is it requires a lot of training and time till you can even attempt to have a casual style of play... not trying to scare you, but just to prepare you... it's not like badminton or ping-pong where you can just pick up a racquest/bat and start consistently returning shuttles/balls... so be prepared to spend some time learning the sport... don't get discouraged because i know a lot of beginners get frustrated when they can't master the basics quickly...

...well maybe pooh88 can guide you better on this, but basically, beginners will want to use a lighter racquet with a bigger head >100sq. inches... a man can probably handle a heavier racquet, which will help in power generation later on, but other than that, a beginner, be it male/female can use any beginner racquest i described... preferably a guy will not buy a glossy pink racquest though

... for beginners, probably get a cheaper racquet, since you don't want your RM400++ racquet to be chipped/scratched or even broken when learning how to play... but if you don't mind about the money, get the best (usually the more expensive) first time...

...brands, like price are not that important for beginners... i wouldn't say one brand is better for beginners than another... a reputable brand will have a suitable racquet for whatever level in its range, so pick one you like (or you favourite player uses) and select from its beginner range...

other than that, welcome again to the sport and happy learning!

I think the infos below should make u understand rite
