Haha... used semi-new stick.
I had Crossfire strung at 45 lbs too. And sometimes 42 lbs. I only alternate between this two. smile.gif
*
wow... that super low.. i was thinking mayb trying out crossfire at 50lbs (as normally those syn strung higher than poly). wondering normally with crossfire do they string it like same tension both or 2 diff tension setting. Anyways would wait for you to choose the racq first before i go string ..haha.. you shud have come today n check them out.. then 2molo can string already ..haha...

@praetorian..

Tried playing my prev speedport Red which is with Kiddo right now. tried both the exo3 and spRed back to back just now. still felt the spRed has more oommmph to it. able to strike the ball with more feel. So i'm guessing the blackcode is not suitable for the oversized Red. As the spRed is using a prince hybrid string at 58lbs. Whereas though the exo3 blkcode at 60lbs still feels mushy. Even Kiddo confirmed it after hitting a few rounds with it.

Next string i might try is the Premier LT 17 which is the recommended string to pair with the exo3 according to prince spec sheet

In a kevlar hybrids, some people have the cross (syn gut) 2 to 3 lbs lower because it softens up the stringbed a little bit... because as you know, kevlar is known for its stiff feel.

Oh, does the shop near The Ship open on Sundays?

yah they are open. actually tomorrow i'm going down kl to string up carto's apdc with blackcode. if you free and nothing to do .. can come earlier n join me jln jln in kl tennis shops . wink.gif

sifu chris high percentage, might be coming as well ..

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

now i'm a bit confused. i was told by the shop stringer today, that hybrid strings normally they string it Mains lower compared to Cross (e.g. 50mains,52ross ) and if stringing 2 tensions on same type of strings the Main is higher than cross (e.g. 52mains, 50cross) ..
is that true is that the norm ? wat's the upside or drawback ?

any sifus wanna answer ? praetorian ? z ?

Im also buying racket, still seeking one. Around Rm200 lol

no prob dude. if buying this type of racquet.. i would rather you spent that $$ on a good secondhand wink.gif Coz these are too beginner racquet which you'll go through them pretty fast and then you'll want to change another more advanced racq. just my 2cents

Hi guys!

I was wondering if you have space for more players to join up during your group's tennis sessions.

I have been playing tennis for 3 years and am an intermediate player,with decent ground strokes, who's also a big fan of racquets, strings and other tennis gear. I am still trying to improve my serve. Would love to join up for some tennis sessions.

I live in PJ and usually play with my bro on weekends at duta, kelana jaya or the club,BU.

Cheers!! smile.gif
*
no prob dude. so far our grp has a few levels of players from beginner like me to a more advanced player like say June and Ckseong. Then we'll have players that is already advanced but pretend to be novice ( chip chip chip ... ) - i'm sure he's gonna deny this like in 30sec.

We play near my place in PJ too. I"ll PM you the location. hope to catch you one of these days.

Depends on what hybrid stringing you do.... its all a matter of preference.

Most people hybrid coz they want to get the best of both worlds, ie durability and feel.
But what most people forget is the gauge, sometimes when we try hybridization , take for example say we put blackcode as a main , but we forget its 18G , as a cross we put in a synthetic gut 16G , well to be honest that combo suxs, its like mixing rocky road ice cream with lime sorbet...... unless you are very eccentric I doubt that combo will cater to your taste.
In general a stiff string as a main kevlar/poly allows you to hit with more spin/bite, opposed as gut /multifilament as a main this will provide more feel.

If the stringer recommended stringing same string with different tensions, I suspect they did a two piece job, ie same string cut into 2 and strung that way, its easier to string but tension drops more rapidly than a single string job.

Where as a single string job takes more longer and is more tedious to do, but tension will not drop as rapidly as a 2 piece job.

I have been told the reason why stringers string a higher main than cross, as this inhibits the main from moving.
*
so meaning to increase the sweet spot on the racquet face, the mains is higher than the cross ?

You are damn right. it's just social meet up and maybe some frenlies. More about socializing and enjoying the game we all luv. So i have utterly no respect for ppl that look down on others because of their skills or more to point, the lack of them.

it's a commendable attitude you have there bro. even my gurl luv hitting balls with you and i'm sure angeline wud agree with me here ..lolx (wonder when can we get her back for more guidance and lessons ??)

That racket belong to someone but not David and its a second hand. Looking for that someone actually. I also have that kind of feeling when playing against opponent who have this racket. Used to be very famous among late 90s player. Just curious what kind of player using that racket with 16G sting, stringing at 58-60LBs. A wonderful racket, a very solid one but required a lot of strength to operate one.
*
wonder how it feels like against the Prince Exo3 Graphite 93 who has a tension range of 55-65 too. midpoint being in the 60lbs region.

After going through like 5sets of Tecnifibre Blackcode on various racquets, i found that the blackcode is actually a very soft poly string. one of the softest that i've used. It's even much softer than the Topspin Cyberblue and already most of us feel the cyberblue is such a comfortable string to play on. So like if your normal tension on the usual poly string is 53lbs.. with blackcode even if you up it 3lbs-4lbs to 56 or 57lbs it still plays comfortably. I just strung up the 4D300 to 57/58lbs and it plays beautifully. Very much diff than the 4d300Tour which i've gotten few mths ago. I hated the 4d300Tour basically coz of the 18x20 pattern but found new joy in hitting with this 16x19 4d300. vast difference in terms of playing experience. very comfortable and has the usual "pop" that some of the Aero300 users come to love. Very easy racquet to play with from the get-go. It's so easy to swing that you tend to swing it faster and harder. Pretty much impressed by this stick and thus will have it as my 2nd stick after the PDRGT smile.gif haha... icon_rolleyes.gif

anyways just had 1 playing session 2days ago with it. felt good. will hav a whack with it again later with chip73 & junebug...

btw was at this HOCK ENG shop just now. i'll Boycott that shop already. owner is very rude and unruly. i bought a bag from them. discoloration on the wordings. he told me i might have dropped ACID on it. Fudge !!! where would i go get ACID and pour it on my own fuxking bag ? Actually wasn't a big deal lah .. just some minor color discoloration. But i just thought since i was nearby go change. Mana tau he gav me such a ridiculous answer. i think i'll be very afraid to buy racquets from him. later he might giv me some cock & bull story if my racq got any problem. So from NOW balls & grips ok buy there. Racquet / bags... a BIG NO NO.
