well i'm also kinda keen on the tour.. but then i read the string patter is 18X20 compared to the 16X19 on the regular version. coz basically i play more on spins (semi western) .. no idea how to hit flat @ all...    so wonder with the dense string pattern will it affect my spin potential ?

price in USD below... want order tell me... i also wanna buy

haha never thought of that.. good idea. next time should just get the standard string they provide and later only upgrade the string. but should i just get back a cheap poly so that next time use the luxilon more expensive poly ? i'm trying to say, if ultimately i wanan get a poly string, should the cheaper string also follow poly or can use syn etc ?

ohh you looking for second hand o3 red ? the normal version or the speedport version. i got a fren using it but he long time never play liaw so might wanna let go.

i didn't get to test the exo3 red but frankly i kinda like the graphite exo3 green. not sure red tho coz headsize 105 and also much lighter right ? personally not that keen on light rackets. but now gotta think about gf.. so might give it a go n look 4 her.. since the red is a bigger headsize 105.

Dunno if this is before your time, but since you mentioned old Prince rackets, did you ever try Prince original Graphite the racket Gabriela Sabatini used, (as well as Michael Chang), if you want a racket that hits as close as that you must try Prince Spectrum Comp, old Prince rackets were originally made in the US and you could string them as high as 74lbs legally as it was clearly stated on the racket itself.

For the exo3 graphite (green), my whole take was this, I never liked the soft and feather-weight of the o3 Series which most of the time force me to overhit. just not enough weight on the head to drive the ball hard so i'll need to muscle it hard to maintain a full shot. But when i saw and picked up the graphite i was surprised by the feel of it in terms of weight and it has the old style look of the "torsion system" (centre horizontal bar)..haha.

Anyways in terms of playing it, i disagree that it doesn't have a good spin. coz i found the spin is quite good but it's not the soft loopy spin that i can get with the Aeropro Drive. this spin is more of the deep tail-end spin that just drops down at the baseline. it has the enough weight to make driving the ball directionally easy. i find it has more balance in terms of power and control compared to the APDC. apdc has lots of power but not as sharp in terms of directing the ball. also the slim frame of the exo3 feels good. head speed is also just nice, not too fast and not too sluggish for volley and the ports producing a "whiiizzz" sound, that's cool.

but i gotta agree with ssjben, it has a hefty pricetag..but if i find a good deal for the exo3 graphite ..., i wouldn't mind to have that in my bag as a spare ..

talking about the red, wow, i've read many reviews about it, seems to be a "easy fun" racket. most ppl swear by it esp those already using the old red, o3red, speedport red and  exo3 red. As praetorian said, it is very obedient in following your every desire i think this could be suitable for my gf actually. lol.
will try to get my fren's o3speedport red and try it out this evening.

WOAH, 14x18 is pretty old school, just dug out a pic from ebay and I noticed guess what Prince Spectrum Comp is also 14x18!
So you pretty old skool too

hi guys ,
            when u guys hit ur forehand shot rigth, wat's ur another free arm doin ? i know this question sounds a bit weird, but i juz heard from someone with good experience in tennis saying that it is my free arm that makes me did all my forehand mistakes (that mean sumtimes left sumtimes rigth =P, the ball height is ok , juz the left , rigth error) .. Pro pls share ur experience here about this.. ngek ngek ngek =P

haha... cool stuff man .. wah having both 4d300 .. u must really luv em ...lol
btw i just strung the Topspin cyberblue @ 55lbs mains & 53lbs cross on my babolat. Wow i must say it's very very comfortable and soft. coz i have one other babolat racket (both 100sqin) with luxilon alu spin @ 55lbs. and that felt very harsh and hard, not in terms of the tension but the feel of it. feels very rigid on impact when the balls hit the stringbed. but this cyberblue feels so much subdued but still dish out an incredible touch-feel spin. truly unexpectedly comfortable. i must say praetorian really knows his strings well..

next can't wait for the blackcode.. have already ordered 2 pieces and should be here by end of the week. now i just wanna find out how it compares with the pentagonal alu spin which by now i come to dislike the stiffness of it.

topper is selling for rm530.. it felt easier to swing than the apdc but i'm still very skeptical coz i used the cyberblue  on the pdrgt @ 55lbs..which is so much comfortable compared to my apdc which i strung with the luxilon alu spin@55lbs. so i can't give an accurate picture on the feel as of yet. though i'm not saying luxilon is not good but so far my only positive experience with luxilon is the 18gauge ace 113 which is comfortable and nice to hit but trying the alu power 16, alu rough.. don't really like the harsh feeling of impact. too stiff.
