Shon looks like using sw30

[kwun]

2 words: quality sparring.

or is that no longer the current trendy excuse?

[kwun]

Shon looks like using sw30

either that or MX80. kinda hard to tell. seems more like mx80

[madbad]

The unforced errors are creeping into Shon's game. Not as steady as in G1 where he was playing out of his skin. LCW 6-1

[madbad]

either that or MX80. kinda hard to tell. seems more like mx80

Definitely an MX80.

[Tactim]

9-3 LCW 2nd game. Looks more like a match we would expect. LCW forcing more errors in Shon. But there are equal number of unforced errors as well.

[Tactim]

11-7 LCW at mid game interval. Shon gained a couple of points from his own good defense and counter attack but LCW also threw in a couple errors. I wonder if LCW can hold his lead, considering he started at 9-1.

[limb7567]

winning points seems so natural and easy when LCW found his pace..

[madbad]

Looks like Shon has more sting on his smash than LCW today.

GC goes with the "injection of pace" favourite after LCW powers one home. 14-8

[Tactim]

LCW picking up the pace. Some good play with cross court drops and accurate smashes brings it to 17-11 LCW

[madbad]

You knew Shon would come down a notch or two. It was impossible to sustain the level he was at in G1. 19-11

[madbad]

Shon wins the net exchange. 12-19

Down the line smash by LCW. 20-12

[madbad]

Lucky net cord on the drop by LCW secures him G2 21-14

[madbad]

Shon is exceptionally quick around the court. Very impressed by that.

[madbad]

Super! cross court lift and it's a clean winner for Shon. 2-2

[Tactim]

It seems Shon has brought his A-Game again. 3-2 Shon, some good rallies to start the rubber.

[Tactim]

11-6 LCW. Shon is playing well, almost like the first game but not quite. However LCW is playing better.
