    We are photographing as many rackets we can.

    Give us time to collate what we have, after all we still have to keep up with the stringing.

    I never expect they should sign NDA :)

    They are stringers, whose skills and services are being hired by Victor. The detailed string's tension and method ordered by the sponsored players are part of their job.


    Btw just noted that Victor Europe just uploaded the new 2014 catalog in its website today. :D

    Blast (pun semi-intended) from the past last night: a 3U SW35 from the Taipei team. Never thought I'd see one of those again.

    Considering the fact that it is one of the best rackets Victor ever made, it is not that improbable.

    Well, we bagged the elephants: Ahmad and Natsir.

    BS12N 3UG4, VS850 @ 31/31,
    BS12L 3UG5, VS850 @ 30/30,

    respectively.

    Plenty of variety today - Thrusters, Braveswords and Meteors. Tensions averaging around 30 lb (but I will scan our worksheet in once it is complete)

    Normally they wont turn out round on a really good machine if you do even tension....maybe just a little, but doing +2 on the crosses will normally make it long.

    Standing barefoot on hardwood floor all day like that is gonna kill your feet. Get a mat or something.

    Depends - I run around barefoot in the apartment and we got hardwood floors as well, never had any problems with my feet because of that. If you have weak arches it might be problematic though.

    Why would they +2lbs on the crosses when the players themselves have specifically asked for that tension?

    If the players do not ask for it, sure their is no reason ;)
    But at the end, is it really the same tension (asked) on the string?
