Weekend update: 4th week April 2025: TR96, T100

 Played singles ILTL match with Yodha finished 7-6(5), 6-0. The opponent had good serve, forehand, and slice backhand. My strategy was to return crossball back and attack on short ball. The opponent also had good lobbed. Start with TR96-3 but need more power change to T100-2. The second set, opponent most on error and said my ball were heavier then in 1st set.

On Sunday played doubles: 6-3 Rh vs Op-Dn TR96-2, 6-3 Dv vs Ny-Hs T100-3, 3-3 Ny vs Dn-Hs T100-2. The HG soft on TR96-2 felt nice and soft.

Weekend update: 3rd week April 2025: PSVS, TR96, T100

 Played on Friday and Sunday long holiday weekend. 

On Friday played with PSVS and T100-3 with adhi team: 3-6 yudis vs fikri-budi PSVS then change to T100-3. Fikri used extreme mp and produced heavy balls. 2-6 opa vs fikri-don T100-3. I may have played another one but forgot for now.

Saturday ran 3km about 8 pace in GBK.

Sunday played with tourna leater grip TR96 and leaded up 1gram T100-3: 6-3 budi vs iwan-don TR96, 6-3 gatot vs iwan-budi TR96, 4-3 don vs iwan-gatot T100, 6-3 iwan vs gatot-don T100 and TR96. 

Played with TR96 is easier more precise then T100 but less power. Leaded 1gram at 12 a bit too much then lowered it to 0.5 grams.

Weekend update 2nd week April 2025: TR96, T100-3

 Played on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday: 3-6 Hr vs Op-Dyl TR96, 6-4 Bud vs Ed-Dv TR96-3; the last one is a tight match. On Sunday: 0-6 Rh vs Op-Iw TR96, 6-2 Iw vs Bd-Dn TR96/T100-3. 

On Saturday when the ball still new using TR96 felt good but on Sunday figured still using the same balls, need T100-3 for better power and forgiveness. Verdict is just so easy playing with T100.

The TR96-3 is now strung with HG 17g at 40lbs.

Weekend update April 1st week 2025: PSVS, T100-3

 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.

Weekend update: 2nd week Feb 2025: T100h

Watched a video of gasquet forehand and got inspired to try it and worked well, felt can produce heavy ball.
