 Played on Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday: 3-6 Ad vs Dk-Bd T100h; strong attacking opponent, 6-4 Ad vs Hs-Du T100h; more balance opponents for us.

TR96 with HGS at 40lbs felt powerful but may not fit high intensity play at MT. T100 performed well: good serve, good forehand control and defense, a few long mishits.



Sunday, May 12, 2024

The use of poly on T100 is good spin, less power, good control.

Weekend update 1st week March 2024: LMOS, T100-2

 Played on Saturday and Sunday although been a pretty rainy few days.

On Saturday played a single game 1-1 with Iw; T100-2 played better for single compare to LMOS. Then played doubles got bageled lost with Bd vs Ww-Iw with LMOS.

On Sunday played 2 tight games with LMOS: 5-6 Iw vs Bd-Ww then 4-6 Du vs Bd-Iw. 

The LMOS is good for overhead and volley but pretty low net clearance. Maybe time to restring the T100-2.

Weekend update 4th week Feb 2023: TR96, CX16, LMOS

 Played on Friday and Sunday.

Friday with TR96-2 and CX16: 6-7 CX16 (Dd vs Fh-Ch), 7-2 TR96 (Dd vs Fh-Ch), and 7-3 TR96-2 (Fh vs Dd-Ad). Played on outdoor court at night. TR96 gives out more power whereas some double faults from using CX16.

Sunday with LMOS and TR96-2: 6-2 LMOS (En vs Rm-Dv), 6-5 LMOS (Ny vs Dn-Mk) and then singles 4-1 TR96-2 vs Kn.

LMOS is so nice at net, power and forgiveness to attack with low net clearance on forehand and backhand to attack.
