Dear Paul and Mark
I wonder about the weight of the rackets used by Natsir / Ahmad
Do their BS12L - BS12NC felt quite heavy or light ?
I hope you got some time to swing the racket during the stringing job
In addition, could you also share with us the string and tension chosen by Gideon MF for his MX-90 ?
Cheers Mate![]()
obviously no issues with head shape then?
Mark/Paul, the account of your "adventure" is excellent. So cool you guys have been set up in an apartment across from the NIA. Looking forward to more.
Aside from VS850 (which is the only one you have mentioned), what other strings have been popular with the pros?
Are the players specific about string type as well?
How about the pattern or method of stringing used, such as 1P, 2PTD, 2PBU, 50/50, Haribito, manufacturer/model specific patterns, etc?
Interesting. How about the rest? The Taipei Team? And the Shin's TK9000?
Well, I can say for certain that one of my rackets has been on court... because Ahmad broke it yesterday at the end of his third set. Turned up back at the apartment straight away.
Turns out he uses a G6. Very interesting.
Ahmad and Natsir's were off-the-shelf rackets - same as everybody else. The only KRP we've seen so far (we think) are Ko Sung Hyun's, because those definitely swung taller.
We haven't seen anything from Fernaldi yet - doubt we will, actually.
Nice one Mark as it saved me doing it.
It's been an incredible experience this week. All the players that dropped in or collected their rackets were fantastic.
I'll write something and post it on my blog later in the week with a few photos to add too. I'm already looking forward to doing it again next year.

The only fly in the ointment is that I now want G6 handles... and NOBODY has got them!
NYARRRRR!!!

G6 as in Yonex style G6? As in, really thin?
Yep - Victor have changed to the YY system now, anyway. Found a TK8000 - Lee Sheng Mu, I think - at 3UG6, and Shin BC had G6 TK9000s.
