Play on saturday and sunday. Saturday in KBI, watch Tabitha-Gaby beat Jonathan-Malwin pretty close 6-4 and 4-3. I played with Abi against Rus-Don 5-4 using T100-3.
On Sunday played 2 sets with Diki vs Hari-Endro 6-5 and with Don vs Devi-Endro 6-3 (Devi is recovering) both with BOv2. BOv2 just nice overall with spin but not as much control.
Played on sunday with office mate, mostly use 100T-3. One of the office mate used to play in uni and uses semi-western topspin forehand.
Play on saturday 2nd week and sunday on 3rd week.
On saturday with newly strung with same partner and opponents: 6-3 gabi vs rus-tabitha T290, 6-2 4-2 T100. The T290 is definitely soft compare to T100.
On sunday also with T100-3 for 2 sets: 3-6 don vs hari-edi, 3-6 endro vs diki-aulia; played against stronger opponent or pretty event but just not the correct strategy. Had several double faults.
On 4th week Sep played on Friday and Saturday. On Friday played singles vs rosid 2-4 beast100, 5-10 tie break T290. On Saturday with T100-3 on doubles: 2-4 jo vs rus-ai, 4-2 rus vs rosid-jo, 5-6 jo vs rus-pol.
I discovered new forehand technique and flatter serve suited B100 and T290.
On 1st week Oct played on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday: 6-3 aulia vs devi-endro T290, 6-4 (5-2) opa vs aulia-budi T290 then BOv2. Opa played well against budi sliced forehand.
On Sunday: 6-3 ramli vs devi-endro T290 (BOv2 last game).
On Sunday, add lead to T290 2 grams at 12 then moved to 1 gram at 12 and 1 gram at 3 and 9. The balls are heavier but hard to control and more parabolic, it has better serve and volley but harder forehand. Now moved to 2 grams to 3 and 9.
Measured T310 swing weight at store and it is at 314.
Play tennis on saturday and sunday. On saturday: singles with rus 1-3, rosid 3-6, and then doubles 6-0 rosid vs indra-kelvin. On sunday: 4-6 aulia vs mursyid-hari, 5-5 yusuf vs aulia-don. All with T290 except for the two early games that ended 5-5. The T290 is good at ground stroke, just the right ground clearance, but can be hard at serving, feels like a 95.

Played for 2 sets on Saturday: 6-4 (1-3, 1-4, 4-4) nyoman vs ade-don 0-2 using T290 but switched to BOv2. Such a tough match but had to attack. Then, 4-2 BOv2 same partner and opponent but stopped due to partner sprained ankle. May want to add more weight to handle.
The T290 is now weight 221 with extra 5.5 grams weight in the handle and dampener. With overgrip should be about 327 grams.
