I went to the pro-shop today and found out Luxilon no longer produces Big Banger ACE TOUCH hybrid, so I asked the owner to recommend something similar in terms of feel and composition, and he suggested Luxilon TIMO 18 (Main) + M2 17 (Cross) for my POG, which TIMO 18 replaced Ace 18 and M2 17 replaced Supersense 16L.
This time I asked the pro-stop to string it to 57lbs as the previous 60lbs was a bit too hard at the beginning and I felt more comfortable and much better control when string bed started to lose its tension, it felt incredibility good 1 month before it breaks, so I conclude somewhere around 55-57lbs should do the magic.
Anyway, let me try it on Monday and report back again.

Update Jan-31
After hitting for 2 hours, I found indeed the new combination is very close to the previous discontinued Big Banger ACE TOUCH hybrid, I like it very much!
Update Apr-13
To my surprise, it only last for 2 1/2 months, DAMN! I am not sure if it’s the lower tension (57lb vs 60lb) I asked for this time or Big Banger ACE TOUCH hybrid is a lot more durable. Of course, there is the 3rd possbility that I’ve added more spin into my ground stroke and serve. 
The following list is the ones that’s most interested to me.

In thoday’s game, I was able to get more spin and raise the safety margin on my serve now after changing to back-hand grip, of course, I am still working on the stability, and I am pretty sure I will manage it shortly
Actually there is another tips on serving which was advised by my CHing, you got to completely relax your body before the serving motion, as it will create more energy and make your serve more efficient, and this also applies to 詠春 equally which I just learn recently.
So I tried the back-hand grip serving technic and force myself to completely relax my body, that indeed produced some very nice serves today. The most fun part is first time in history I can actually feel my body is driving the ball upward and toward the service line (become one: body+ball), this is really fun, I definitely need to practice more on this stuff.
看來我之前的確沒仔細看清楚﹐另外量產版本也是用綠色廠盒來包裝的。
I just came across this PDF today and found it’s pretty much everything about the latest features of EQL SAN like VAAI, MPIO, Thin-Clone, etc. I’ve already implemented most of them in our production enviornment and seeing performance gained by multiple times especially during SVmotion and depoly a new VM from template, of course the reduction in snapshot time really helped Veeam to run at it’s peak performance during backup window.
Hope everyone will finds this PDF useful!

自從去年四月初首次看到Mulsanne的極不認同﹐到今天越發喜歡的那份強烈對比﹐只說明了一個原因﹕賓利的設計的確與時並進了﹐令我的審美觀也產生了根本的變化﹐也就是更加接受了對現代汽車肌肉型設計的認同﹗
自己一直比較喜歡Bentley那種獨特的英倫味道﹕豪華的來又不失運動的神韻﹐比Rolls Royce的那種令人窒息的霸氣感覺更加有人情味。這就好比擁有Rolls Royce的人幾乎一定有司機﹐但擁有Bentley的人就沒這種潛在的規則﹐君不見現在連Rolls Royce都給Bentley逼得急忙推出了所謂悠閑版的Phantom (叫Ghost)﹐就知道Bentley是多麼的受世界各地買家的歡迎﹐Bentley的那種獨特的豪華悠閑氣息的確令人陶醉。
英國Bentley精品網站的回復說他們不會有這款車模﹐所以只能3天前從美國的Bentley代理商那里訂購，想不到今天就送到了，速度真快，剛好赶上農歷新年作為自己送給自己的最佳紅包。
打開包裝後﹐就發現這款賓利車模的綠色盒子比以往版本來的長﹐而且盒子只寫著Minichamps for Bentley﹐連型號都省略了﹐還真對得起這價錢。
Mulsanne在光洁亮麗的銀灰色高雅顏色下，格外顯得那肌肉的動感，龐大的鬼面罩旁加上兩只曾極度惹人爭議的渾圓大眼睛，更加顯得這新一代的賓利旗艦与過去的不同，翻查資料才發現原來五六十年代的Bentley S1和S2其實都是這種大眼睛的設計﹐加上賓利最出名的內飾刻劃細膩﹐配合的天衣無縫﹐整體散發出一如既往的优美和典雅。
最後D.E.版与即將推出的黑色普通版本外形最大的不同之處，就是D.E.版的車頭擁有那精致的B標志！
如果用三個字來總結﹐那莫非只有“真完美”可勝任﹗

以下是賓利新設立的中文網站對于Mulsanne的貼切描述﹕
賓利創始人，華特.奧文. 賓利先生想要制造出一輛汽車界的頂峰之作：大、快速、宁靜、舒适。 這一理念深深地影響著賓利。隨著時間推移，豐厚的精神財富發揮出惊人的效力，賓利特質一一展現出來：屢次打破記錄、技藝發展、大膽開拓、精湛的手工藝和靚麗的設計。 如今，90載歲月過去，一款全新旗艦型豪華賓利Mulsanne轎車實現了華特.奧文. 賓利的愿景。當賓利Mulsanne行駛在路上，其強大動力和精致典雅足以令其他轎車黯然失色
設計出一輛動力強卻又敏捷靈動的豪華轎車并非易事。但這一設想卻真實的藉由賓利 Mulsanne實現了。 有如一名強壯且又靈活优雅的運動員一般，賓利 Mulsanne將力量、优雅和運動風格獨特融合為一體。
整體的車身造型展現出豐富的設計對比。它顯得如此剛毅，仿佛是用一塊巨石，一蹴而就雕刻而成，同時又散發著优美和典雅。 純粹不失圓潤，經典而又現代。 它的設計能夠讓不同的特殊材質得以物盡其用。 例如，對不同厚度的鋼板，手工焊接創造出獨特、無縫且緊密擬合的感覺。 試想下，比如在焊接后門背部一個冗長的金屬部件時，這個過程需要花費整整45分鐘的時間。
通過采取這些額外的工序，賓利的技術人員能夠創造出一件圓潤的藝術品，并以此進一步突出那些經典的、英國賓利的元素： 大弧度的線條飽含著運動的激情，強勁的車腰揭示著尚待噴涌的動感。 這樣做難嗎？ 是的，很難。 無法實現嗎？ 不，可以實現。
近距离觀察賓利 Mulsanne，您可能會有似曾相識的感覺，但這份熟悉感之外又有几分特別。 大而圓的LED頭燈，位置更加靠近格柵，在開車時帶來燈光交錯的效果——這与我們1930年的8升引擎轎車的配置彼此呼應。“為實現這一目標，我們花花費大量時間去研究過去的標志性的賓利轎車。例如：賓利8升轎車，20世紀50年代的飛馳、Brooklands、雅駿和雅致。這些都是我們考慮到的結合點”，首席外型設計師Raul Pires表示說， “我們希望得到的是更加運動和更有特色的賓利汽車外觀。”
真的很耐用﹐省回不少錢﹐因為一年才需要穿一次(因為自己完全不介意跌磅的問題)﹐下次會穿低磅些這樣POG會更加好打。
