Where do you play? DO u have the Sg Long club membership? Or know anyone who does?
Looking for kakis to play, preferably at the club, nearer mah

which state is this feeq??? ...anyway, if one is overweight, of course he/she can play... and pretty soon (if you play often and hard enough), with all the cardio workout, you will be in better shape and get to play better tennis... just take it easy in the beginning... learn the basic strokes first, and much later then can go run like a dog to retrieve the shots sent all over the court by your opponent (like the rest of us )

...(sensei... macam jual obat pulak )... heh anyways, yeah if you slice it with backspin hard enough, it will bounce in the opposite direction... a cool trick to show off is to slice a dropshot with a wicked backspin, and see it bounce back again over the net into your side of the court again ... priceless... anyway, similarly, slice with sidespin also changes the direction of the bounce... a good skill to own i.e. slice with side/back spin...

lol reminds me of prince of tennis. hoho

haa.... trying to master zero shiki...

Forget which state.he is indian name vicky

i dun have kaki la. no club membership also'
u find courtla then pm me if wan play
but me newbiiess

err,anyone wanna play someone who only has a slice/sidespin BH?

its possible, but hard 2 happen. it also depends on the velocity of the ball... the faster the ball's velocity, the harder for it to bounce in a opposite direction motion. if u want it 2 really bounce opposite direction, the only way is u under spin the ball kow kow but dont apply so much push to the ball to reduce it velocity... but IMO even if u underspin the ball kow kow and apply some or lots of push, although the ball wont bounce 180 degrees opposite direction, it will still bounce very low or just somehow bounce funny which already makes it hard to take. where else if u underspin the ball kow kow but dont apply push, ur opponent may not wait for the ball 2 bounce and already return the ball, since the ball velocity is slow and easier 2 intercept the ball before it bounce. so it depends on situation and also opponent.

Hope u understand what im talking abt and even more hope that it helps....

hey feeq, read that you play around sunway. or more particular, sunway college. can i join you?

what time do you usually play? and what days?

...actually, for me, those players with wicked slice backhands are really a handful and tough to play... most players live and breathe a typical flat/topspin backhand, so you can more or less guess the bounce, depth and speed of the ball, but slicers (especially the good ones) realise that flat/topspin proponents like the ball to be at waist level thereabouts to generate good lift and spin, so to have a sliced ball coming in at unknown/strange side/back spin which more often than not have zero bounce and which literally dies once it bounces on your side of the court, well let's just say steffi graf's slice backhand wasn't always a weakness it was made out to be... in the right hands, a slicer can be a devastating opponent, especially when used against the right opponent... so redcaffeine, take heart from what i said... keep perfecting that slice backhand, it will come in handy... but of course try to master the topspin backhand also, for options sake...

i hear ya buddy,but at my age,im pretty much stuck with the slice BH,n
my only other option is a sidespin added to it when i need to

Added on March 20, 2009, 2:27 pmyup,ts due to the sidespin upon ur racket contact with the ball,
it means ur not hitting the ball down-to-up(so-called the right way),
ur hitting it sideways,which is a damn good weapon if u are
really consistent with the shot n have accuracy,otherwise its not
really recommended,trust me i make the same mistake too

Guys! stumbled upon this antique in my uncle's storeroom.
This stick is definately more than 30years old.
Its a Dunlop Maxply with its original strings and leather grip.
Posting the images for everyone's viewing.














So I'll be using this baby in my next hitting session
Kiddin man, it'll break my arms.

It felt pretty light at first but after a tennis session this morning (using modern day racquets) I got home and this stick felt extremely heavy when I tried to swing it.
I think I won't last 30 min swinging with this baby.

Wow.... antique it is. Suprised it is still in rather good condition.

hello. anybody played at Keramat AU2? near the new Jusco

played over there last few years - but susah nak book la kat situ

Hey guys... I am new to this forum. I am actually looking for Head Microgel Radical Pro. Tennis warehouse has a nice review and I thought I would like to give this racket a try. Anyone knows where in KL I can find this racket and how much would it be? Thanks a lot.

u can get it at topper sports ampang park... i think price is around $450
to $550.. cant remember well... but around that bracket. I had a Radical OS
before.. but somehow i find the best Head racquets are the ones made in
Austria... the last of them are some from the Intelligence series. At that
time Head racquets cost Rm1000 plus.... Oh yeah, u can PM ~Battousai~
too for Head racquets.. he might be able to get u a good price
