So, we got our target to be in the big 8. We play against #3 which we met before losing straight sets last Wednesday. We played in debros club court in Prisma, a good outdoor court.
We played well leading 4-2 before losing the match 4-8. Our opponents just could not rally with us and the senior player started playing drop shots and moonball. He even try underarm serve but I was able to get it and the point.
I played using ATS 98 after trying the T100-1 but the string moved too much.
Overall played well, might have an ace.
Before went to the court, went to Decathlon and the price for leather grip just went up again to IDR 210k from before at first 120k then 150k. The price hike was crazy despite the lower quality.
On Friday played with the usual bunch. I brought UP, RadOS, and T100-2. Warming up with RadOS felt soft, tried play with it against players from session before us and changed to UP for more control and heft, won 7-3. Played another 2 sets with UP, won 7-3 but we were stronger. Then played more serious on the last set but with time due settled at 4-3. Overall, despite the tight 18x19 on RadOS the string moved and soft thus the control was quite off. The UP is such a control racquet, seriously can control the depth and heft of the ball playing against weak and strong intermediate.
