Well, the coach will work on match strategy to a degree - in this case he used pimples for our most recent session and we worked on game plans.

Yes, we both share a coach. I go weekly and Andy less often - he’s been playing for 40 years non-stop. I re-started 12 months ago after a 3G year break so his experience is huge. I was pleased I managed to start opening up on my BH and finding some timing in games 3/4/5.

I can see that now very clearly, so need to work on re-learning the swing pattern I guess.

No knee issues but a right calf that has 50% atrophied as a result of a disc issue, so less ability to push off on right leg.

Hi Brs Thanks very much for taking the time to watch and comment - I really appreciate it. I agree 100% with your thoughts - I also thought I played too safe/defensively in games 1&2 and was not getting to the ball in time to topspin his serve returns instead of pushing them off the table. My...

Hey LDM7 - it's been a while since I honoured my commitment to post matches alongside yours. I had a break over Christmas as a result of some tennis elbow resulting from too much practice vs robot and serving! a fair amount of work for this match, including an hour against my coach using pimples...

Yes, I am sure you are correct. Do share any tips for staying relaxed!

Nice! II wish I could take my training shots across to matches that well - my level of anxiety and desire to win seem to tighten me up and inhibit both my movement and my clarity of thinking.

He’s a forum member and seller - mines a 2019 provincial

I do prefer D05 - a little softer. I bought mine from Chen.

No, D05 on FH!

5x is 5.95 and 5 is 5.89 FZD has rubbers on so not sure I’m afraid

I’m really pleased with 05fx so far and D05 with one layer of boost also feels great

Congratulations, that’s very exciting. I look forward to hearing bout the journey once you get it..

I’ve played a few hours with 05FX BH and K3 FH and at present I like the 05FX as it felt fast enough but was also very good on lifting backspin/loop. The K3 felt a little too hard on this blade so I’m going to try my sheets of D05/T05 for something a little softer. Will also try T80 on BH.

Mine is 6.02mm and standard head size

I would say that you are correct - except my HL5 is 25.4 so larger than FB. As you can see from the pictures it is the profile that is also different and this makes a bigger difference to the feel than size alone.

Thanks very much for the insight - I will follow the path of 05FX / 80 and then onto harder. I have some D05 and a sheet of 09c but could well trY K3 on both sides if harder works. ill let you know!

You could literally be talking about me here - I am often late on the serve return and then backing off while trying to hit a BH open up. Like you if I miss the first receive open up and get drawn into a mid table push rally, I lose most of them. If I manage to open up on third ball I win most.

Brilliant - thanks for sharing..
