the Maxply McEnroe is selling in those big sport stores in shopping malls...i've seen them selling in Stadium, KLCC. last time there was like 60% sale for that racquet....after discount rm300+ only...wanted to buy but felt that it's more suitable for pros lol...

but i can say it's quite popular...1st time i saw got 3-4 racquets...the next time i went left 1 only!

hey guys...i plan to buy overgrip for my racquets...any particular model or brand which you can recommend? i plan to buy the wilson overgrip selling 3 in 1 pack....don't know what model yet...plan to go to shop and look...

just asking...overgrip must be applied on another layer of grip right? coz i'm using KPro Tour now and the ori grip is the leather grip...very sticky and uncomfortable...so i just need to add overgrip on top of it right?

Battousai....are u still selling the Nike tennis bag? how many racquets can it hold? how much are u selling...can pm me best price? what is the material made of? izzit similar quality to those wilson tennis bags? coz i saw those wilson bags are made of special fabric which feels more thick?

lelucky: how much is the yonex grip u're using? does it come in a pack of 3 or in a reel?

playing slice on both sides? is it something like what Fabrice Santoro does? i find his playing style very special...can really irritate some pro players!

how to know if my backhand got topspin or not? i feel my backhand is solid but then want to try out something new on that wing....

Battousai, i'm using crossfire + babolat syn gut...dun like it coz the stringbed too hard for my liking...

any suggestion for a softer stringbed?

yes...the babolat syn gut is white in colour...because the stringing is hybrid, that's why i'm confused which string made the stringbed feels hard, is it crossfire or the syn gut?

ok...thanks for the suggestions...

so u guys all using hybrid stringing? or just one type of string?

i have a doubt....so all the strings u people mentioned that are in the 'soft' category, does it mean that no matter how high or low the tension u string it, it'll still retain the 'soft' feeling?

from my understanding, high tension = more control, low tension = more power.... is that correct?

please enlighten me...thanks!

ok...so that means for example i use natural gut, no matter i string it at 50lbs or 60lbs, it'll still retain the 'soft' feeling lar?

sifus out there....what is the normal tension u guys string? my friend told me crossfire is not suitable to be strung at 56lbs? is it true?

hackremo: i learn by myself too...occasionally guided by my teacher...sure it takes a longer time to master the skill, but if put in effort to learn and rectify the mistakes, sure can improve one!

so...talking about strings....do you guys buy the strings from the sport shop and ask them to restring? and, all the strings you people mention, do u buy in one pack or it's from those big reels the sport shop owns? coz i've a feeling that those more expensive and quality strings, they are sold in one pack rather than one big reel?

no no, pooh88...i don't mean big reel = no quality...what i'm asking is, do u buy a pack from the shop and ask them string straight away? or u just use the reels of strings available at the shop and string it?

pooh88...that means u buy ur own reels of strings in bulk and bring to the shop to string it??

Added on April 21, 2009, 10:46 amone more question, does that mean whatever strings that's available in the market, they are sold in both individual packs and in reels form?

what model of Head is novak djokovic using? his racket seems very plain, just a white colour paintjob...is that a custom made model?

went to Jln Duta for the first time today....i'm impressed with the number of courts they have lol...(it's our own national tennis centre anyway)

played indoor as the outdoor was fully booked....but indoor quite warm...kept sweating like hell...but i love the bounce of the indoor court...kinda slow

anyone is a regular at jln duta there?

btw...do they have special rates for student??

I rented indoor at jalan duta ... rm24 per hour.... outdoor is rm12 ... that's evening .... i'm not sure about morning-afternoon session though.

are those grass courts or hard courts? looks like grass to me....

Added on May 13, 2009, 8:58 pmone question to all the people here, do u guys know where can find clay courts in Malaysia? my dad told me he used to play on a clay court back in those days in Seremban, but now no more....due to difficulty in maintaining and other problems....i'd really like to try playing on a clay court...

cakarsakti: mind to specific what kind of arm injuries?

to other people, do u guys suffer from injuries frequent? and how long do u stay away from the game to let the body recover?

i'm having blisters at my thumb and also the base on my little finger....

do u think it's due to the grip? coz i only put one layer of overgrip over the racket...no replacement grip underneath....i'm thinking of adding another layer (2 layers of overgrip) and see if that solves my blisters problem...

Your grip sounds a little too small. Adding a layer or 2 of overgrips should probably help.

yeah...i should try add another layer of overgrip...coz right now when i hold the racket i can feel the 'angle' of the handle...meaning it's a bit too thin...i think to get a good grip you mustn't feel the angle of the handle.

how much is the dunlop max comfort?
