Hi... I dun mind travelling to klang... even on week days... can i join ur members to play?

hi guys, i'm new in tennis world. would like to hv a taste of tennis sport.
so me n my fren r looking for a good tannis racquet.
can any1 pls guide me through this?
does it different in matter of man and woman?
how about the price?
wat is the recommented brand?

cool! When can I come? Is this Wednesday night ok? What time? Is the court indoor or outdoor? since nowadays always rain...

Erm... do u have a map on how to get there?

... hey there Ah Chuan... welcome to the uh... winderful world of tennis... it's quite simple when you look at people playing, and wonder 'i can do that'... the truth is it requires a lot of training and time till you can even attempt to have a casual style of play... not trying to scare you, but just to prepare you... it's not like badminton or ping-pong where you can just pick up a racquest/bat and start consistently returning shuttles/balls... so be prepared to spend some time learning the sport... don't get discouraged because i know a lot of beginners get frustrated when they can't master the basics quickly...
...well maybe pooh88 can guide you better on this, but basically, beginners will want to use a lighter racquet with a bigger head >100sq. inches... a man can probably handle a heavier racquet, which will help in power generation later on, but other than that, a beginner, be it male/female can use any beginner racquest i described... preferably a guy will not buy a glossy pink racquest though

... for beginners, probably get a cheaper racquet, since you don't want your RM400++ racquet to be chipped/scratched or even broken when learning how to play... but if you don't mind about the money, get the best (usually the more expensive) first time...

...brands, like price are not that important for beginners... i wouldn't say one brand is better for beginners than another... a reputable brand will have a suitable racquet for whatever level in its range, so pick one you like (or you favourite player uses) and select from its beginner range...

other than that, welcome again to the sport and happy learning!

Try playing with wall, or just simply toss the ball up to train your height and accuracy ( front or back).

Hi everyone...

I will still be looking for a buyer for my aeropro drive. I have been using it for 2 months so far.

For those who PMed me the last time, sorry that I quoted so expensive because back then it was still quite new. Until now i have been already using it for 2 months and still feel it is too heavy. So therefore, right now im willing to let it go for rm400. For those who are interested, please PM me. Thanks!

Anyone from PJ going to Bangi Hock Eng sport shop, pls let me know. I want to tumpang buy tennis ball... thanks

I'm noob and know nothing about tennis. And i pretty interested to start this sport.

Any of the forumers got got 2nd hand racquet that wanted to let go with cheap price for beginner?? And do you guys mind that i join u guys....??

Hello tennis kakis! My friend is looking for Babolat Aero Pro Drive Cortex.. anyone selling his arr?!?

Hi all, thanks for replying on my question. I don't know if my technique of slicing the ball is correct or not because my friend told me that it's completely out of shape thus the ball had side-spin, lol. I'm currently using my K-six one tour and I found that the racket is very very stiff, making my elbow pain. Is there anyway to lessen the pain on my elbow?

imo:

higher string tension produce more spin. bcuz higher string tension can more effectively 'flatten' the ball at contact, making more area of the ball being 'bite'by the strings.

bigger head size can indirectly help u 2 produce spin, bcuz:

1. bigger head size means it helps u produce more power: normally to produce spin u really need to transfer a lot of power to ur spin, making ur shot less pace due to the power has aleready being used to genereate the spin. so if u use a bigger head size, will help u help u in producing more power so ur shot will have lots of spin and at the same time lots of pace.

2. to produce spin, ur racquet movement is alot more, so b bigger head size is more forgiving and reduce the chances of hiting the ball at the frame

im not a pro or a coach or anything, all the above is base on my own experience only. so if im wrong, anybody can correct me. thanks.

thanks for ur verification.....

what racquet u use....? if u dun mind me asking....

Yes, K-six one tour is very very stiff, dont buy it ONLY IF your accuracy is low. I guess I know where my elbow pain from, I serve without hitting the sweat spot, it produced tremendous amount of vibration especially the top part of the racket, =(
