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?

Howdy, anyone here who plays tennis on weekdays in Sunway/Monash Uni area? Looking for someone to have a hit with.

How heavy do our racquets weigh? Anyone at 13 oz? Heavy heavy one...

12.7 oz strung here.

pooh88, I read that you play in KTKP. Well I play in RKC.

Maybe we have met, just don't know one another.

That's Kevlar + Syn Gut.

What alternatives are there to Ashaway Crossfire II 16 in terms of durability?

Don't mind sacrificing spin, power, control, feel, comfort, or whatever it is. Janji durable.

Thanks cakarsakti.

I have my eyes are on poly now. Don't mind it being stiffer because I usually string my racquet at 42-45 lbs.

How much is Dunlop Explosive? And where do you get them? What other poly do you recommend that we can get here locally and cheap at the same time?

Nothing wrong with Crossfire. Good set of strings, but I'm stringing them every 2 weeks. I need it to last at least a month because I can't afford to spend. So average once a month for poly, like you mentioned, sounds good to me.

90 square inch. Long swing it is.

I think I've used a cheap poly a few years back and IIRC, it lasted me quite a while. I'll try it out again, since I have a few in hand.

Maybe different playing styles are suited to different types of strings.

Or maybe not.

I'm with pooh. We should have a friendly game.

Probably because of the balance of the racquet? Or stiffness?

Or your strings?

Well, the rule for a proper grip size is that you should be able to fit a finger in between your grip when you hold your racquet. If you can't, then it's too small.

Yup.

I think the stiffer it is, the worse it is for you arm.

Try poly at lower tension.

Or you can maybe use softer strings, like multifilaments.

A lot of alternatives.

RM 55 at my place.

With stringing. But still expensive.
And I rarely use it.

Wahseh... RM 55 is too much. Two shops I know in my kawasan have them at that price. But yeah, location does play a role.

@murnizaradzi
you memang 'demanding'.
you can play tennis with my sister but she is younger than you. and KL terlalu jauh!
