Played on saturday and sunday. On saturday fun games: 4-6 azizah vs rahmat-tabita B100. 3-5 rahmat vs rus-abi Bov2. 3-10 tie break against rus BOv2. B100 with thin kimony leather grip can felt raw at times but still manageable.
On sunday only 1 set: 6-4 rahmat vs budi-devi 5-2 B100 (1 ace).
Beast 100 got a black syngut 17g probably around 55 lbs and felt good. Might try this on other racquet.
This weekend tried also more relax grip on serve and got easier power and more flat.
April 3rd week, played on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday: 6-4 iwan vs devi-gatot T100, 6-3 mursid vs diki-ramli BOv2. BOv2 has better control than T100 syngut. On Sunday: 3-6 hari vs don-budi t100 bov2, 6-2 opa vs don-rhmt T100. T100 got nice plush power for warming up and play.
April 4th week, played on Saturday only: 2-6 hari vs rhmt-rus beast100, 2-6 hari vs abi-rus T100. Recently got Prince Beast 100 2017 but in grip 3, install kimony leather thin 0.8 mm and grip size fits better.
Played in 3 days this week.
Thursday night: 6-5 diki vs hasan-dika T100/BOv2 old balls til 5-5, 6-4 diki vs hasan dika T100/BOv2 solinco balls, 6-3 hasan vs diki-dika BOv2.
Strung T100 with syngut 16g 50lbs felt plush, good for warming up.
Saturday KBI TC: 2-4 kiki vs rahmat-abi, 2-4 adrian vs rahmat-kiki; all with BOv2 with solinco and tecnifibre balls.
Sunday: 6-4 don vs widia-hasan, 6-4 opa vs iwan-nyoman (balls a bit flat); all with BOv2. Versus iwan-nyoman could be harder but opa played well.
Played 3 times during this long weekend. On friday with brother hitting out and mostly using T100 with solinco balls.
On Saturday: 7-5 ade vs budi-don T100 (old balls and wet court, change to new balls at 4-2), 6 3 rhmt vs devi-iwan Bov2 (new balls)
On Sunday: 6-4 devi vs rhmt-iwan (T100 then Bov2 for easy spin with new balls), 2-6 (1-5) opa vs moko-don (BOv2 with new balls, drops doesnt really work for me, long last game but we got it).
Sold my Bio F3T, just cannot gel with it, too tinny 18x20.
Played with Tian's friend for mabar on Tuesday: Aga, Afan, Ana. Played mostly with T100 and then with BOv2. It was a night session in Patra and the lighting not as bright on one side. Mostly won the best of 5 mini sets. Tian tested the BOv2 but he seemed to be more comfortable with W107 with most serves in.
Played with GTC on Sunday after spending Saturday fixing cars. Played 3 sets: 6-3 moko vs yudi-iwan (started with BOv2 but strong opponent then opt for T100 due to flat balls, less control), 6-4 opa vs gatot-rahmat (they run me up and down; forgot BOv2 or T100 but maybe BOv2), 6-4 gatot vs hasan iwan (started with T100 with new balls but then changing to BOv2 for easy strike not as heavy).BOv2 just a nice easier option than T100, not as control but surely can blast with spin.
Played on saturday and sunday. On saturday played for fun in my brother's complex area. Tried RadOS but felt too flat.
On sunday played doubles with the regulars. Played 2 sets: 6-3 opa vs ramli-yusuf and 6-2 yusuf vs ramli-diki. Played with BOv2 with no lead just 5 grams weighted buttcap. BOv2 felt fast and easy like before, but wrist a bit soreness after.
Before playing, practicing and hit balls more in front.
Played on saturday and sunday after week long rest from flu and rainy days.
On saturday played two mini sets still have runny nose: 2-2 rosid vs rachmad-rus and 2-3 dedi vs rosid-rus.
On sunday played 2 full sets with slight runny nose: 6-3 beni vs diki rachmad and 3-6 devi vs diki rachmad.
Both played with BOv2 and after sunday put off the lead and see how it goes next still with 5g lead.
Its been a while but I have not played with T100 and BOv2 can be erratic sometime not as controllable as T100.
On Tuesday, a public holiday, played 3 sets: 6-2 diki vs devi dani, 6-3 ramli vs ade punjung, and 6-0 budi vs diki nyoman. Played first 2 sets with T100 and then BOv2. The T100 has so much better spin and power. BOv2 with no lead now played easier. T100 has the edge on rallies and controlling the ball.
Played on Saturday for 2 sets, rain on Sunday and event. The scores were: 1-6 hasan vs budi diki; tight set, lots of deuces but court still wet, 7-5 (5-2) edi vs faisal doni; good set but overall we were better on paper.
BOv2 played well, tried short take back, more return style forehand. The current setup 1.5 grams.

Played on saturday and sunday. Saturday in KBI: 2-4 hari vs dedi rahmat before rain came.
On sunday 2 sets against stronger opponent: 1-6 rahmat vs moko don, 1-6 opa vs moko iwan.
Gloomy on both days. BOv2 is pretty powerful on new balls.
Played total 5 sets on Saturday and Sunday.
On Saturday: 5-5 devi vs budi iwan, 5-6 devi vs ramli diki (4-1); played easy after leading 4-1 then at 5-5 opponent played better, 6-4 diki vs budi iwan. BOv2 got 2 grams lead at 3 and 9 but missing 0.25 grams at play.
On Sunday: 7-5 devi vs ade hari, 5-6 opa vs diki faisal.
BOv2 played a bit heavy swing weight so already cut a gram now.
We left jakarta on 25 dec early morning 6am. We had lunch in Tegal, missed a turn so took another 15 minutes to the restaurant, wendi. Then we left to purwokerto around 1.30 pm and arrived in baturraden around 5 pm. We had dinner in baturraden and had susu jahe at bu darmi.
Next day, friday, we walked to pancuran 3 in the morning. Pray in baturraden. Families arrived in villa and we had dinner there.

Played on saturday on 2nd week Dec: 5-5 (1-3, 5-4) diki vs endro ramli, 3-6 diki vs opa edi, 6-7 (2) nyoman vs budi don; all with Bov2. The Bov2 swing fast but a bit uncontrolled (pic 2).
Played on saturday on 3rd week Dec: 6-1 opa vs budi rahmt, 3-3 don vs devi hari, 0-6 hari vs don mursid. Tested the 100P with syn grip but felt very heavy and ultimately affecting the set. It felt flexible though spin is there.

Played on Sunday for 1 set only: 6-4 budi vs hari hasan with T100-2. Brought along side the BOv2 as well but opt for the T100-2. The control was good but some lack a bit power, some balls hit the net. Opponents played well, hari is so good at drop shot and lob. Partner need put away volley.
On 3rd week played on Sunday for 2 sets with BOv2: 4-6 rahmat vs hari-gatot, 6-2 rahmat vs hari-don.
On 4th week played on Sunday for a pro set with BOv2 after late company event: 9-8 gatot vs budi-don. The scores were (I served first): 2-0, 2-2, 4-2, 5-3, 6-4, 6-6, 8-8) broken once.
BOv2 after playing several weeks: need to swing else go flat or powerless, easy power from swing but less control. When serving, needs to hit above the ball to keep it in.
Played on Saturday: 6-3 (0-2) devi vs hari-don, 6-5 (0-2) gatot vs hasan-nyoman. Opponent Don and Hasan are so much better now, they produce low topspin forehand. Trailing on both sets, was a tough sets. The T100 is just so good on control, change the grip to synthetic grip and comparably lighter and easier compare to before with leather grip. The power, control, and spin quite balanced. More spin compare to BOv2 because slightly lowered power.
In addition, I got a slight hip sore from playing tennis few weeks ago without any good warmup and stretch.
Played on Saturday and Sunday all with BOv2.
Saturday: 4-6 hari vs opa-edi (mostly hitting to edi), 6-2 nyoman vs gatot-diki, 2-6 hasan vs gatot-diki.
Sunday: 6-3 endro vs faisal-devi (strong opponent).
BOv2 verdict: no arm pain, weight is definitely good. On sunday, change T100-2 grip to synthetic grip.

Played on saturday and sunday.
On Saturday (BOv2): 6-5 endro vs faisal hari; 3-3 diki vs faisal budi.
On Sunday (T100-2): 3-3 endro vs ramli faisal, 3-4 opa vs don moko, 2-6 yusuf vs moko gatot.
Verdict comparison: T100 good on almost all aspects expect on slow pace balls. T100 is very good against strong opponent, good return. BOv2 is just easy. On Sunday, after 2 long mini sets, a bit tired and BOv2 should be very nice. T100 produce heavier balls.
