    Style : speed of Recovery + shot placement(still perfecting) + final well placed smash
    Racquets: Any ARMORTEC will do
    String: Any offensive string with Control will do: eg.BG66, BG85, BG80, have yet to try nbg98

    i think there is alot of double's because usually crowded places they force you to play doubles so more people on court.

    You really think so, Bro? I see my attack as kinda WEAK. :eek::eek::eek:
    Maybe it's the Armortecs, but I'll take that as a compliment. Thanks!. :) Working hard on improving my game...;)
    Didn't train today, spent the time with my kids (listening to 'first-day-of-school' stories), which was nice :D
    Will definitely play it by Sat and let you know :D:D:D
