For me, anything that breaks on a racket and you cannot use it anymore is a broken racket. Fixing the handle was not that easy. I took it to a couple of experts and they said it beyond fixing, the handle on my Cab 9, basically sheared off at an angle, in about 4-5 pieces, was not really fixable, nor do I want to fix it (myself).
You definitely should try to get a game against Trisna, his defense is A+. You may need a stronger partner than Don, get Chris or Ba Su or Alex. I'm organizing the first ever GGBC POT this Saturday. Many of the A players from Bay Area will be playing. $20.00 per player. So exciting, finally some challenge.
I don't know, yesterday Don and I beat Alex. I got lucky and defended well...enough. I've beaten Alex the last 4 times I played him now. ... ... My secret: don't hit it to Alex. When I do hit it to him...I lose. Don is good enough, no complaints. Besides against Trisna, I'm not looking to win, I'm looking to learn, have fun and get run (the last I'm sure of).
Off topic..A mini-tourney @ SGVBC?? ..hehe, wah, is this a go, Paul??..If that's the case, then there'll be quite a lot of the A&B players from SGVBC who'll participate also??...whoah, it's gonna be like a "mini-tournament" then... when will you hold it?? morning or afternoon or night-time?? i might swing by just to see some actions..BTW, "A players from Bay Area", such as who??..
Off topic...Sorry.. haha..oooops...no, nevermind...i must've just read thru it & didn't pay close attention(only saw the 'GBC') & probably got a bit excited.... ..in that case, kwun will probably visit you guys then..
So far, I got.....Chandra, Angie, Mona, Mike, Stanley, Daniel, Bao, Ben Lee, Kamal, Lili, Arnold, Jinsong, Yee, and me. I have some maybe players from UBC, Ziwei, Hao Jin. Hopefully more top players will come and participate.
Dan, can you imagine organizing a POT at SGVBC with Alex, James, Grace, Johanna, Trisna, Tony, Halim, Howard, Bob, Eric Go. $100.00 /person...... We can only dream of such a POT.
Off topic.. wah, that looks like a pretty tantalizing lineup, esp. for a reg. pot gathering-$20/person x 14, that's already $280 in cash for the winner(s), not too shabby... ah, and maybe it's time for kwun to go back and bring out his "weapon" of choice... man, they should have a N.Cal vs. S.Cal competition every yr...More like a World-Cup style, 10 vs. 10, but within the state of California & winner takes all...But then there's already the U.S. National tournament every yr..$100 a pop x 10 people, that's already $1000 for the winner(s)... ok, ok, enough, we're going way off topic now..sorry Dan..
oh man! did stan played tonight? i hope he has enough energy for tommorrow, cuz we have a tournament at Bintang! who won by the way?
