Trekking 26 Sept 2021

 After an in-law went trekking few weeks ago, my brother coordinated a trekking trip to the same spot. We went to Sentul, four pairs of brothers and spouses with total of 8 kids. Started with trekking along the paddy rice fields and then to Leuwi (pool under waterfall). The car trip to the spot was tough, lots of steep uphill and downhill like a roller coaster, the car was using mostly 1-2 gears. My car was a Daihatsu with 1.5L engine and RWD. My 2nd daughter was got stomach ache after swimming probably from empty stomach. Below pic of on the paddy rice. 

Tight 18x20 pattern

One of the reason I like when using tight 18x20 pattern such as in Bio F3.0T racquet below is that you can rally and although the string moved and did not snap back, the strings does not move far enough affecting the shots. Very different compare to when using open string pattern such as PS97 or Aerogel 300. Below is the picture of Bio F3.0T, I did not have to straight them out.

Dunlop racquet weight

 I mostly used Dunlops now along with PS97. Recently weight them, they are below with the customization:

Cymbal	Weight (grams)	Customization
CX 200 Tour 16x19	336	Leather grip, 3g lead, overgrip, dampener
CX 200 Tour 18x20	334	Leather grip, 3g lead, overgrip, dampener
Bio F3.0 Tour	326	3g lead, overgrip, rubber band dampener
Aerogel 300	316	4g lead, overgrip, rubber band dampener
MFil 300	319	Leather grip, overgrip
Hot Melt 200G	340+	Leather grip, overgrip

Weekend update

Emma Raducano won US Open over Leylah Fernandez, great finals from quit some time. US Open can provide more surprises than other slams (picture below).

Max over Lewis (crashed), they are both very hotheaded.

Woke up this morning with news of Medveded winning his first slam.

Played two times: on friday, singles (4-7) with stretched out string AG300 and on sunday, doubles (5-6, 4-6) with CX 200 Tour 18x20, I played well.
