Happy Tennis: 7th Year Anniversary (7週年紀念)

過去一年裡主要集中單打訓練。

底線、腳法和網前都比過往有較大的進步,Top/Under Spin也多了不少變化。對於強勁的抽擊,開始懂得如何四兩撥千斤,以其人之道,還治其人之身。即係撞個波返去,的確好好使,而且慳水慳力,何樂而不為。

策略方面多了思考發球後下一步應該如何進行,尤其在實戰中觀察和尋找出對方的弱點。

逐漸學會了如何放鬆身體和思想,這樣才能發揮出最大的Power。

“Empty your mind! Be formless, shapeless, like water. If you put water  into a cup, it becomes the cup. Put it into a bottle, it becomes the  bottle, you put into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can  flow, or it can crash: Be water, my friend!”

- Bruce Lee

最後就是之前師兄教落,打波靠對腳,輕盈的步伐才是致勝關鍵,看看Federer優美的步姿就知道這個沒錯了。

Some interesting statistics:

Courts Booked: ~192場
Tennis Balls: 36罐
Restring: 5次

String Tension

By admin, December 21, 2015 8:56 am

“String Tension”,measured in either pounds or kilograms, specifies the pressure by which the strings are secured to the racquet frame during stringing. Tension has a strong influence on your string-bed’s and, by extension, your racket’s behaviour.  The following table will help you to understand how this behaviour is affected by tension:

LOW TENSION HIGH TENSION
CONTROL LESS MORE
POWER MORE LESS
SPIN LESS MORE
COMFORT MORE LESS
DURABILITY MORE LESS

又再出番復刻版,今次貴到冇朋友!!!

第一對Nike Zoom Vapor 9.5 Tour

By admin, November 25, 2015 1:38 pm

兩個月前我的Barricade V Classic經過10個月後終於報廢,而Adidas Barricade 2015 (B9)跟B6-B8一樣,後面還是比較單薄,很容易刮傷腳部。

另外Nike也不再推出舒服好穿的Court Ballistec 4.3,而變成了不適合香港天氣,鞋面極之不透氣的Nike Lunar Ballistec 1.5。

環顧之下,剩下唯一的選擇只有正在做大特價的Federer的Zoom Vapor 9.5 Tour。

大部份擁有Zoom Vapor的師兄之前都跟我都反映過這雙網球鞋很舒服,最大的問題就是不耐用,大概6個月就完了。

我試穿的感覺很不錯,最大分別就是重量很輕,而且左右腳跟明顯感到有兩塊回彈力頗高的像Air氣墊的物料。 (Zoom?)

最後發現標籤裡寫著版本的日期為03/15/15。

日本網球雜誌 (Smash and Tennis Classic )

昨天逛SOGO,發現原來香港都有得賣這兩本日本網球雜誌,大概港幣$77,不過就比日本貴8成。

新的Black Code終於推出了!

By admin, September 29, 2015 1:47 pm

我的另一支後備球拍Head Extreme Pro一直都是穿Black Code,同一幅線用了3年半,線床並沒有出現任何死亡的跡象,而且越打越舒服,實在想不出為什麼會這樣。

這次選的是Tecnifibre新出的Black Code 4S 18g/1.20mm,第一次穿這麼纖細的網球線(原來還有更細的19g!)。一般來講,球線越細,控制力越好,當然也更容易磨損,希望遲些時候試拍的時候這幅新的Poly可以帶給我一個全新的體驗。

另外聽了經驗豐富的師兄建議,這次拉的Tension是52lb (Main) x 50lb (Cross)。

Black is Back! With Black Code 4S, Tecnifibre gives big hitters a durable, low-powered co-poly with MASSIVE spin potential, impressive tension maintenance and great feel (especially for a firm monofilament). Boasting a square profile and sharp edges, this string puts a very tight grip on the ball. Topspin players will be able to hit high-arching, spin-loaded balls that come down sharply and explode off the court. For this string Tecnifibre uses Thermocore Technology, a multi-stage heating technique designed to soften the structure and reduce harsh impact vibrations. This helps explain why our playtesters were so impressed with the comfort level. Players looking for a durable co-poly with phenomenal control and spin-potential should definitely give this one a serious look. Try this thin 18g for more spin and feel than the other gauges.

  • Gauge: 18g/1.20mm
  • Length: 40ft/12.2 m
  • Composition: Co-polyester with Thermocore Technology.
  • Colors: Black

Update: Feb 12, 2016

Blackcode Guage 18 doesn’t feel right, as it’s too thin and too stiff, probably need to lower the string to 45-48lbs. Also just re-strung another racket with Black Code 17 (previous one got broken during a match after almost 3 years, yeah!), 50lb (Main) x 48lb (Cross), it feels much much better this time, I shall stay at this range from now on.

網球拍避震膠

By admin, July 29, 2015 2:13 pm

過去用了二十多年,最近終於發現沒了避震膠的手感是如此的不同! 尤其是底線抽擊,幾乎每一球都可以確定回球的深度,這是以前從來沒有的感覺。技術分析應該是避震膠增加了整個線床的Tension,所以擊球的時候自然回彈力沒那麼強。

唯一抱怨就是拿走了避震膠的頭幾次手腕感覺比較酸軟,不過過了適應期,感覺就如虎添翼,以後應該也不會再回頭了。

Nike Premier Roger Federer Crew (Volt and Orange) and Men’s Summer Gladiator Premier 7″ Short

昨天剛穿過一次,感覺十分透氣,Dri-FIT的確涼很多,對於在香港炎熱的夏天打球絕對有幫助。

不過這個組合比較奇怪,就是Federer的T-Shirt配Nadal的短褲,呵呵。另外見到Nadal的粉紅色T-Shirt也在50% 大減價,不過試穿後感覺衣不稱身,而且質地比較粗糙,所以沒買。

一定要狠心! 這個一定不能省錢!

string

原來網球拍String Bed(線床)死亡是一件很可怕的事,這次我終於實實在在地感受到了!

之前一直為了節省等到球線自然磨損斷開才換線,但是最近2個多月一直都覺得自己的技術在不停下降,尤其是以前的拿手正手抽擊完全失效,導致信心直線下降。

今天發現使用新穿的Gut+Poly球拍兩個鐘頭後,各方面的功力都明顯大增,尤其是正手,抽擊准繩度和旋轉強度跟之前有太明顯的分別! 所以我敢肯定之前的水準下降就是因為String Bed死亡的問題!

之前平均8個月才更換,那幅腸線應該一早就死晒! 以後學乖了,應該最多六個月就一定要更換球線,再也不要等到自然斷開才換線了,很高興今天又上了寶貴的一課!
