Weekend update March 3rd week: WUT, CX16

Played on Monday with MT for 6 mini sets (up to 4 with only 1 or no deuce), brought my WUT and CX 200 Tour 16x19. Does not played too well because had something on my mind. The sets were:

- 1-4 (Erc vs Brt-Ck) WUT
- 4-2 (Brt vs Jnt-Dck) WUT
- 4-2 (Ck vs Erc-Jnt) WUT
- 4-3 (Erc vs Jnt-Dck) WUT
- 4-0 (Brt vs Jnt-Erc) CX16
- 0-4 (Dck vs Brt-Jck) CX16 

It still is hard to play with WUT but just such a point and shoot with the string line up. The CX16 is so comfortable a bit uncontrollable at times. The highlight would be the 4th match where we were trailing 1-3 but managed to get a win with last game breaking opponents serve.

Weekend update March 2023 2nd week: WUT, T100, CX18, 4DT

Played on Friday just for 2 sets: 7-3, 5-6. Played all with WUT, felt good. Partner with Fh vs Hr-Dd. Just modified the lead and felt good. Missing some easy volleys to net. Serves were good, need to strike long for groundstrokes.

Played again on Monday with MT for 5 mini sets, brough my CX 200 Tour 18x20 and 4D Aerogel 300 Tour. The sets are:
- 3-4 (Brt vs Ast-Dck) CX 18
- 4-3 (tie 7-3) (Brt vs Alf-Jnh) CX 18
- 4-1 (Brt vs Ast-Dck) CX 18
- 4-2 (Brt vs Ast-Lkm) 4DT
- 4-5 (tie 4-10) (Brt vs Ast-Dck) 4DT

Partner Ast-Dck is a strong intermediate who can rally very well, they both played with PS97.

Overall, the 4DT is powerful than CX18 but less control. WUT is still the most demanding. Backhand is easier with CX18.

Weekend update 1st week Mar 2023: WUT, ATS98

 Played on Monday night 7pm-10pm for mini sets listed below:
- 2-6 (lkmn vs alfn-nfl) WUT
- 4-1 (erk vs alfn-lkmn) WUT
- 2-6 (jthr vs alfn-nfl) WUT
- 4-3 (trio vs brta-lkmn) WUT
- 2-4 (andr vs trio-brta) A98
- 4-2 (brta vs alfn-erk) A98

The WUT has additional 2 grams at 3&9 and felt heavy but A98 with gamma 16g string felt too light and soft though played well on the last set against strong opponents. Add solinco dampener in A98 for extra weight.
