Weekend update: 4th week October 2023: TR960, T100, others

 Played 3 times. 

Friday played 3 sets all with TR96-L2 7-3, 7-4, 5-7 (Fh vs Dd-Ad). The TR96-L2 played well, easier compare to L3 due to lower static weight (I changed the L3 to follow this setup).

Sunday morning, played one set only 6-3 with T100 (Hr vs Dd-Rmt). On paper we were stronger but opponent can be better.

Sunday night practice with families, brought sorts of racquet but for low ball practice uses T100L which has easy swing speed.

Sold my ATS 98, it has a high swing weight and am fit better with TR96.

Weekend update October 3rd week: T100 and TR96

 Played two times this weekend, friday and sunday. Friday all with TR960 7-2, 7-3 (Fh vs Hn-Dd), and 4-7 (Dd vs Fh-Hn). On Sunday 6-2 T100 (Gt vs Dd-Op) and 4-6 TR96 (Iw vs Dd-Ny). Iw borrowed mine T100 and am stuck with TR96 which is harder to play on rough outdoor especially against moonballer due to low power.

TR96 with new lead set up produces low but heavy spin balls (maybe). 

As info, a friend borrowed the T100 and afterward the strings are still straight meaning that probably he did not produced a lot of spin, compare to me which always straighten them after several hits.

Weekend update: October 2nd week 2023

Played once this week on Sunday. Played 2 sets: 6-2 (Opa vs MS-Budi) with T100 and 2-6 (Don vs Iwn-Wwn) with TR96 and T100. The second set opponent were stronger than us though we had a change.

The current TR96 set up are lead 2g at 12, 2g at 3&9, leather grip. The frame felt powerful, less spin, but less control. The set up now added 1g to 3&9 for total of 3g. Swing felt better but need to try it.

Bought a head liquidmetal OS, shall see how it compare with IG youtek version. There is something special with this OS with such thin beam.

 

zildjian k custom 16 ride

 So, I used to have this one, I thought it was a crash but then read https://black.net.nz/avedis/NAK.html and realised I had 16" k custom.

No wonder, I had trouble crashing with it which I thought was too heavy for a crash but too unstable for a ride.

I also had the same K custom in 20 inch which strong hammering  technique.
