new stringing exp!

eh nice! just received a msg from my tennis captain we gonna meet up for a few rnds of tennis again!:) cant wait to see them again sia!

finally the string of the tennis racket breaks while i play tennis with gabriel in the morning... all along i want to change but dunno when. at least the broken strings gives me enough reason to change it asap bah.lol. eh! this the first time i re-string my racket man! know nuts abt it! bo bian hav to consult the uncle.

he guided and taught me alot abt stringing stuffs. there are two kinds of strings. one polyester and another synthetic material. polyester better cos the string wun run and the material is durable and sustainable.

besides the material, we need to look at the surface of the strings we buy. there are different texture, ranging from the smooth ones to the rough ones. of cos the rough ones suits my playing style la. it provides more brushing to the ball- better grip and spin to the ball as per say.

i bought the one with rough surface, told tt the cross-section is 6 sided. sounds good and it cost only 28 dollars! much lesser than i tot!

but besides knowing all these, there is one add. thing we shuld know while stringing. the tension. smth i din know of when my former coach helped me to string. after much consideration i decided to go for tension- 55(a mid range number)... mid range. why? i learnt tt the lower tension it is, the ball will go deeper while a very tight one will be less powerful.

wao really a good knowledge i gained from this stringing exp. haha just wanna write here so tt i can refer to it anytime if i forget HAHAH!
