Played a set on Sunday with small usual crowd. Played with Opa against Devi-Ade, trailing 0-3 but then tied at 4-4. May lead 5-4 but missed point count. Played with T100-3 for easy spin but warm up and hitting out with PSVS. Opa played very well against stronger opponent. Bought a new TR960 grip 3 and will sell the grip 2.
Played on Saturday and Sunday before Ramadan next week. Saturday was a wet day, tried the PSVS with 50lbs gamma syngut. The power was good and flat compare to T100. 4-3 Ad vs Bd-Dn, 2-2 Ny vs Iw-Bd, 3-0 En vs Bd-Iw, 6-3 Iw vs En-Bd. PSVS was stable on volleys.
On Sunday with T100, tried PSVS but the power were lower than T100: 6-2 Dv vs Rh-Dn. 3-6 (0-4) Ad vs Bd-Dn. 5-5 (1-4) Dn vs Mk-Bd. The existing HG a bit uncontrolled but still playable with good power (no arm issue).
Played on Sunday for 2 sets: 6-2 dv vs rh-gt, 6-3 dv vs hr-gt.
Watched a video of gasquet forehand and got inspired to try it and worked well, felt can produce heavy ball.
Played 3 sets on Sunday all with T100h: 2-6 hr vs dv-ed on wet surface, 6-5 (5-5) dv vs ad-bd on control, 3-8 (2-2) dn vs bn-bd good matchup.
Cut out T100w and string already stiff.
Feb: Played 1st ladder league inter match with Anto, ex bostonian. Unintentionally in same ladder league. Warmed up with T100h and then changed to T100w after few game points. Score: 6-4, 6-1. Lots of unforced error in first few games.
Feb: 2nd ladder league match loss 4-6, 2-6. Opponent Rendrian have great shots on both backhand and forehand but especially backhand. Use T100w, good control but wrist and shoulder sore afterward and put OOT. There was also hindrance from someone smoking and watching in the court.
Feb: 3rd ladder league match win 8-6 (5-6) pro set with deuce. The opponent Billy can produce good overall serve, backhand, two handed backhand, slice, volley but lack consistency. I had to ramp up focus after trailing 5-6. Tried 2 games with TR960CT but loss both games. Played with newly strung T100-2 with hyperG at 42lbs.
Mar: 4th ladder league match win 6-3 (3-0), 6-4 (2-2). Opponent Dipta played well, good forehand and backhand. The home court condition helps but I still need to push to attack him. Played with T100-2, some balls sprayed but overall good power and spin.
Mar: 5th ladder league match; a loss 2-6, 2-3 (rain). Opponent Alfonsus played well in home court night match. The court slippery played well with his attacking style. I could have played better but too close of a matchup. Warm up with PSVS but played with T100-2. The string is a bit powerful less control, will try to restring the PSVS.
April: 6th ladder league match; a win 6-4, 6-4. First set pretty tight until 5-4 using TR960. Second set trailing 0-3 then change to T100-2 to close it. Seems power loss after using same ball for more than 2 sets. Opponent Rico pretty good might be the home court advantage with friendly weather but a bit wet court after night rain.

Played two sets on saturday before heading to bandung the next day for a night. The sets were: 1-6 hr vs kk-taher (a beginner) W107 then against tough opponents 4-6 (4-4) hr vs ed-bn T100h.
Using W107 is so easy but less control and very spinny, cant flattened the ball.
