Weekend update: 3rd and 4th week Nov 2025: BOv2

On 3rd week played on Sunday for 2 sets with BOv2: 4-6 rahmat vs hari-gatot, 6-2 rahmat vs hari-don.

On 4th week played on Sunday for a pro set with BOv2 after late company event: 9-8 gatot vs budi-don. The scores were (I served first): 2-0, 2-2, 4-2, 5-3, 6-4, 6-6, 8-8) broken once. 

BOv2 after playing several weeks: need to swing else go flat or powerless, easy power from swing but less control. When serving, needs to hit above the ball to keep it in.

Weekend update: 2nd week Nov 2025: T100-2

 Played on Saturday: 6-3 (0-2) devi vs hari-don, 6-5 (0-2) gatot vs hasan-nyoman. Opponent Don and Hasan are so much better now, they produce low topspin forehand. Trailing on both sets, was a tough sets. The T100 is just so good on control, change the grip to synthetic grip and comparably lighter and easier compare to before with leather grip. The power, control, and spin quite balanced. More spin compare to BOv2 because slightly lowered power. 

In addition, I got a slight hip sore from playing tennis few weeks ago without any good warmup and stretch.

Weekend update: 1st week Nov 2025: T100, BOv2

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.

Weekend update: 3rd week Oct 2025: BOv2, TR96.

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.

Weekend update 2nd week October 2025: T100-3, BOv2

 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.

Weekend update: Revo2, CX18, T100-2

 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.
