Many many thanks everyone for joining today’s 1 year anniversary gathering!
Hope everyone enjoy the day and wish you all like the dessert.
哎呀﹗我可能昨晚太開心了﹐整晚挂住今日個聚會﹐搞到只睡著了3-4個鐘﹐所以今天狀態真的不大好﹐大部份時間應該是在夢遊﹐用白SIR的話系我今日大部份時間在打邊爐 (ie, 個人有D Sap下Sap下 )。
noddytennis & sl-matthew, nice to meet you, 對不起﹐我初頭到果陣﹐個人還比較迷茫﹐沒能及時認到新朋友。
還有就是收錢的時候對大家說每人大約$40﹐但有幾位話太便宜﹗﹖ ﹐好似沒計算Cake錢﹐情急之下﹐竟然記錯數﹐收左$45一位﹐其實應該是每人大約$41才對﹐小弟先差住你地先$4﹐下次見到面一定扣番 (please kindly remind me)﹐或者請PM你地D恆生/HSBC銀行賬號給我都得。
ie, $50 x 6 (court fee) + $50 (balls) + $96 (cake) = $446 / 11 people = $40.5 ~ $41
最後請PM你地個電郵比我﹐好等我SEND番D靚相比大家。
Last but not least, 多謝阿Neil最後都特登趕來同w00t一齊幫我手Book場。
See you all after Easter Holiday and Happy Tennis!!!
Today marks my 1st Year Anniversary to this big happy family of Discuss Tennis.
過去的1年裡﹐我與香港討論區超過80位不同的朋友切磋過﹑學習過﹑討論過﹑最重要的是實實在在地確實開心過﹗
你們有的技術十分的高超﹑有的理論極之實用﹑有的用十二分熱心和耐性指導我﹑有的講波評述精彩萬分﹑有的拍檔夾得天衣無縫﹑有的則天生搞GAG高手﹐總之就是數之不盡的精彩﹗
對我來說過去的1年真的過得很充實﹐正因為有著你們這班熱愛網球的好朋友﹗
希望今後可以繼續Happy Tennis and Forever!
PS. Some interesting statistics:
Courts Booked: ~200場
Tennis Balls: 52罐
Restring: 3次
From my experience, I’ve never tried coated poly before (I mean the past 20 something years), but heard many good/bad stuff about it, especially the brand Luxilon as it’s most famous for coated poly. Bad stuff mainly it hurts elbow/wrist > tennis elbow.
So I’ve decided to give it about one month ago, I strung with Luxilon Big Banger ACE TOUCH hybrid, Ace 18 (Main), Supersense 16L (Cross) on my old daddy rkt Prince Original Graphite Oversize and guess what it DID upgrade my old-school weapon significantly, at least I can tell it’s quite big in terms of the power and The Spin it generated than Prince Syn. Gut 15l I’ve always used in the past.
Yes, you DEFINITELY do need to 夾板, as Luxilon’s poly tends to be very hard, and my POG is very flex (in terms of stiffness), so the overall combination is quite good even I strung it to 60lbs.
In contrast, another brand Tecnifibre Black Code 18 poly is very soft compares to Luxilons’ Ace 18, so when I put just Black Ace 18 on my 2nd POG with 62lb, I found the string bed is still too soft to hit.
今日和師兄同來是一位久仰大名的DISCUSS多屆單打冠軍朋友﹐還有老外DAVE即興JOIN埋一齊玩。
師兄和老外朋友連場激戰後﹐被老外扯到索晒氣﹐冠軍朋友則很舒服﹐他講笑話好像因為老外朋友開了不少ACE球﹐根本不需要怎麼走。我則還是陪跑員﹐連續輸了幾場給老外朋友。(好像從來都沒贏過一場﹐慚愧。)
這邊廂﹐我和冠軍朋友玩得很開心﹐打到全場飛(是我被他打倒全場飛)。想不到有很多我認為不可能救到的球﹐他竟然全能救到﹐而且還轉敗為勝﹐果然厲害﹗最令我大為吃驚的是原來他的球速並不快﹐但他還是可以用其獨特的超水準全面技術贏到很多人﹐這方面是我一定要向這位師兄學習的。今天真的令我再次大開眼界﹐再次證實打波根本不需要大力﹐小弟實在佩服得五腹投地。
最後師兄對我的發球提出了很肺腑的建議﹐原來我自己根本不知道自己發球亂扭身扭細﹐搞到失去平衡。再次謝謝your honest advices always, I really appreciate it, these 肺腑的建議 really did help me to improve my game over the past 1 year!
During today’s 即興 3-6pm tennis session with DTLK and Yu, I found that I can actually produce very powerful 1st serve without any error continously and even a few ace down the T, I had a very tight game with Yu 3:3 at the end, won many points with my serve. However, it’s really strange that from 3-5:15pm I almost couldn’t serve at all, then I am a totally different person after 5:15pm.
I finally figured out/gained something today, it is MY MIND not my skill that’s always dragging me backwards.
只要集中和放鬆身體就可以打得好, simple as that, I felt good today.
We’ve got a new friend Dave today, a very friendly Canadian fellow, who’s 6 4′ with huge build upper body and strength, too bad I could not match with his power, I think his serve is in 110mph+ range, today it’s definitely valuable for me to gain experience from a totally different playing style player. Hope Dave will join us regularly during M-F weekday’s single game as well.
話是話﹐今日個外國新朋友真係好鬼大隻(手臂重大隻過拿度)﹐加買佢D髮型﹐開始的時候﹐我還以為真係拿度大駕光臨添。
Last but not least, thank you White Sir again for teaching me how to let go with my mind and able to secure my 2nd serve.
Overall speaking, we all enjoyed today’s play, especially with exchanging opponents.
The gathering here is getting more international, so hopefully we will see Sharapova drop by next time.
After playing with Luxilon Big Banger ACE TOUCH hybrid and GAMMA Professional Spin the other day, I almost still couldn’t believe what I am getting magically: SPIN and more SPIN and EVEN MORE SPIN!!! Besides, they are quite powerful, comfortable and controllable as well, as I thought poly is going to be very hard initilly. The effect is much much bigger than adding lead like in the old days. It’s virtually like upgrading my old-school POG Oversize (all are Grip 3) to a previously never reached level.
So my first impression of the modern Hybrid and Poly strings is that they do help in some way definitely.
In additional, after discussed and recommended by another tennis pal, I’ve decided to change all the rest 3 strings on my POG Oversize (all are Grip 2) to something modern yesterday, so it really didn’t take me long to step into the famous Babolat Natural Gut cross Gamma TNT2 (ie, 2 days) and the popular Tecnifibre Black Code. Of course, I would preserve the old pal: Prince Topspin with Duraflex 15 Neo Green.
Let me give them a try in today afternoon’s classic rackets gathering to see what these batches will bring me.
Hybrid: Babolat VS Team Natural ThermoGut 17 + Gamma TNT2 16
Tecnifibre Black Code 18
Prince Topspin with Duraflex 15
