Played on Saturday and Sunday all with BOv2.
Saturday: 4-6 hari vs opa-edi (mostly hitting to edi), 6-2 nyoman vs gatot-diki, 2-6 hasan vs gatot-diki.
Sunday: 6-3 endro vs faisal-devi (strong opponent).
BOv2 verdict: no arm pain, weight is definitely good. On sunday, change T100-2 grip to synthetic grip.

Played on saturday and sunday.
On Saturday (BOv2): 6-5 endro vs faisal hari; 3-3 diki vs faisal budi.
On Sunday (T100-2): 3-3 endro vs ramli faisal, 3-4 opa vs don moko, 2-6 yusuf vs moko gatot.
Verdict comparison: T100 good on almost all aspects expect on slow pace balls. T100 is very good against strong opponent, good return. BOv2 is just easy. On Sunday, after 2 long mini sets, a bit tired and BOv2 should be very nice. T100 produce heavier balls.
Played on saturday dan sunday and you got it right: only BOv2. Actually not quite true, I do bring my TR96 but only for warm up. BOv2 does not sounds right for just hitting out, it may need higher ball speed.
On saturday: 6-1 endro vs iwan-hasan, 6-5 don vs hasan-diki; trailing 3-5 but managed to play safe.
On sunday: 6-5 diki vs gatot-faisal, 2-6 gatot vs faisal-rahmad, 6-2 faisal vs moko-don.
Verdict: BOv2 is an attacking racquet, just so easy maneuverable balanced frame. Actually reminds me of PS97 but slightly lighter package.
Played on Sunday for 3 sets and more. Tested Solinco Blackout v2 with hyperg 17g at 40 lbs. The sets were 2-6 hari vs rahmat mursid t1003, 1-2 moko vs edi gatot t1003, 4-6 rahmat vs devi gatot t1003/bov2, 6-3 moko vs mursyid don bov2.
The Bov2 played light compare to T100 but still have that stability for serves, forehand, backhand, even volley. The foam filling works well, the balance is very very nice. Overshoot some forehand. I can say that in stock this felt really felt good.
Played on thursday night and sunday morning.
Thursday night brought Revo and CX18: 4-2 fathan vs anom lucky, 2-4 anom vs kiki fathan, 2-4 same players, 4-2 lucky vs gusti fathan, 2-3 lucky vs gusti anom. Played with CX18 but too low powered for night games.
Sunday morning comparing Revo and T100: tough set 5-5 rahmat vs devi widia T100 (1 ace), 6-2 devi vs don diki T100, 2-4 rahmat vs budi gatot Revo. Definitely easier to play with T100 with too much spin some times but still awesome, Revo is more direct reminds me of pro staff.
Also on serve, trying to use shoulder back opening up the chest and produce more power.
Bought hyped solinco blackout v2 and strung with hyper g 17g at 40 lbs now.

Played on a office band event this year. Rehearse with the following line up: Zildjian New Beat 14" hats, Zildjian Armand Medium Crash 16. The right cymbals staring with Istanbul Mel Lewis 18" crash ride but too washy for rock setting, then Zildjian K Custom Session 18" ride but too pingy for the rock, then settled on the last rehearsal with Sabian 20" Medium ride that is overall standard but just perfect. Just cant beat a good 20" ride.
