Weekend update April 3rd: TT100, A98

Played on Sunday for a set and 4 sets on Monday. 

On Sunday won 6-4 with A98 with partner Whyd against Dn-Hrm. Dn said afterward that my shot were pretty heavy. Played around 4pm before iftar.

On Monday with MT 4 sets were 4-6, 6-3, 5-6, 8-2. 1st 2 sets with A98 while last 2 sets with T100-2. Two players have advance forehand and serve while the rest with one strong intermediate and two start intermediate. The T100 is much easier to use for more power and A98 felt softer.

Car remote battery

 This morning, i could not open the car lock, the remote seemed to loss power. I then grabbed the spare remote but the car lock still wont open. From my experience if i open the door with manual key it would trigger the car alarm. So tried with the key and it finally opened. Drove to office, then when I was about to turn the car on to fold the outside mirror, it would not start, i had to put the key close to the start switch to turn it on. I later change both the keys in a near workshop and now they both works. I noticed that it had been awhile that the blue ignition key indicator in dash had been flashing meaning that the key is not detected closely.

 

Weekend update April 3rd week: F3T and ATS98

 Played with MT on Monday, brought Dunlop Biomimetic F 3.0 Tour (F3T) and Prince Textreme Tour ATS 98 (A98). There were six of us, 4 intermediate and 2 advance beginner. Against weaker opponent, I used F3T and stronger with A98. We also played with same team, first set lost 0-4 but then 4-3 on the second set.

The F3T has new setup with lead at 10 and 2 and thinner leather grip, it felt better than before. The slices were dirty. Had also a session where my partner borrowed my A98 and his ball landed shorter then mine with F3T. I can say that it is in the same category as WUT/WUP but maybe not as boardie.

Also received new Art TR960 control tour 16x19 this week and cant wait to try it. Should be in the same category as A98 but with a lower swing weight.

Weekend update April 1st week 2023: WUT, A98

 Played on Friday at LTA joining TK community. The players were 3-3.5 NTRP level. 4 wins and 2 loss, the loss were due to partner playing level. Played most of the games with WUT or A98 depending on opponents. The court at night pretty tough due to level of lights from other courts. The balls we used were either old or practice balls, which is tough on any racquet, the control is better with WUT but power is better with A98.
