個人認為這款式Flyknit系列裡最好看的，Flyknit的透氣材料應該更加適合香港炎熱的夏天。 (標籤裡的版本為04/18/17)

回顧過去的8年內，原來已經跟超過300多位的波友對壘過，很高興從中認識了一班經常聚會、志同道合的「鐵腳」。

每個星期6-8個鐘頭的網球運動除了令我身體強壯之余，也令我更加正面思考和面對問題。 當然我更享受和不同網球朋友暢談中體會什麼是真正的人生。

另外去年也再次跟一位年輕的師傅學波，他剛好住在我樓下，近水樓臺，再Fit不過!  師傅幫我糾正了一些錯誤的Form，尤其是正手得到了比較顯著的改善。

其實心訣還是那一條，就是放鬆身體，招式才能得以順暢發揮，從而爆發出最大的力量，也就是Bruce Lee所說的Be water!

還有就是當遇到強勁抽擊時，要更加好好學懂如何借力，絕對不要硬碰，要利用「四兩撥千斤」，以太極招式「以其人之道，還治其人之身」。

Some interesting statistics:

Courts Booked: ~175場
Tennis Balls: 28罐
Restring: 5次

朋友最新的推薦，Head Gravity主線的形狀是三角形的Co-Poly，據稱可以產生較多的旋轉。

之前我也曾經試過這幅線，感覺的確比之前的Solinco Tour Bite Diamond Rough 17 + Babolat RPM Blast 17g要得心應手，不過當時的球拍是 Radical Pro。

這次的磅數為: 53lb x 55lb

奇怪的是這次的直徑17g感覺很粗，更接近其它牌子的16g，可能跟那個三角形的球線形狀有關。

最後也順便更換了用了5年多已經開始爛掉的Grommet。

Update: Mar 20, 2017

Out of my expectation, it only lasted for 5 weeks or 28 hours! But overall speaking, it’s probably the best string I’ve ever come across with Head ExtremePro. I’ve restrung it for 55×53lbs this time and let’s see if this combination makes a difference.

Update: May 8, 2017

Proved the set can only last for 5-6 weeks! So I changed back to Blackcode (52lbs on both main and cross) instead, the result is surprisingly good. From my experience, Blackcode can last at least 3-4 months, let’s see.

Update: Jul 16, 2017

Sorry, that Blackcode 17 didn’t even last for 5 weeks, so switching to gauge 16 (52lbs on main and 50 lbs cross) and let’s see again.

Update: Dec 4, 2017

Good news that the previous Blackcode 16 did last for almost 4 and 1/2 months, that’s long enough, I still stick to this string from now on.

Update: Dec 10, 2017

It turns out the pro shop does not carry any Blackcode 16, and he suggested me to try Babolat Hurricane Pro 16 (50lbs on main and 50 lbs cross)

Update: May 1, 2018

The Babolat Hurricane Pro 16 almost lasted for 5 months which is good enough! I am going to use it again and this time lower the tension to 48 lbs for both main and cross.

Update: Sep 25, 2018

It proved by now that Babolat Hurricane Pro 16 almost lasted for another 5 months, so I re-strung both of my rackets with 48 lbs for both main and cross again.

Update: Mar 17, 2019

The previous Babolat Hurricane Pro 16 lasted for another 6 months, but the pro shop ran out of stock. So the staff recommended Head Hawk 16 this time, 48×48lbs, so far it’s quite good!

Update: Mar 4, 2020

The Head Hawk 16 lasted about almost one year, as half of the time, I was also using other Head Extreme Pro with Babolat Hurricane Pro 16 as the backup. So it’s not bad at all it did last for at least 6-8 months. Anyway, I switched back to Babolat Hurricane Pro 16 48×46lbs this time with Grommet changed as well at the pro shop.

Update: Oct 10, 2020

Two pro shop went out of business during COVID, what a pity! Anyway, got in touch with one of the owner and he helped me restrung my rkt with Babolat Hurricane Pro 17 48×48lbs and also changed my grommet, door to door service, highly appreciated for his excellent service!!!

Update: Mar 17, 2021

The previous Babolat Hurricane Pro 17 lasted for 3 months, and local distributor does not carry 16 gauge, so I ordered the 16 gauge 130 from TW and restrung my racket from a new pro shop this time, 48×48lbs, and let’s see if it will last for 6 months.

Update: Nov 26, 2021

The previous Babolat Hurricane Pro 16 lasted for 8 months, because of on and off courts closure due to Covid-19. Anyway, I shall stick to this string from now on with 48lbs.

Update: Sep 24, 2022

I’ve decided to re-strung my racket with Hurricane Pro 16 to 46lbs this time as my Extreme Pro feels the best just before the string breaks every time.

Update: Feb 23, 2023
Hurricane Pro 16 (46lbs) lasted for 5 months, it felts right. So I’ve decided to keep it to 46lbs from now on.

Update: Mar 26, 2023
Went to pro shop and re-strung my spare racket with Hurricane Pro 16 (46lbs).

Update: Oct 23, 2023
Last one lasted for 8 months, re-strung my spare racket with Hurricane Pro 16 (46lbs), seems I’ve finally located the best tension for my racket.

Update: Apr 21, 2024
Hurricane Pro 16 (46lbs) lasted for another 8 months, pretty solid!

在TST見到Sergio Tacchini專櫃，想不到多年後這個意大利的經典網球牌子竟然變成香港公司擁有，記得1991年那時得SOGO先有得賣。

終於等到了這款，這是我的第二對Nike Zoom Vapor 9.5 Tour (標籤裡的版本為01/06/16)，喜歡它的原因主要是因為重量輕和耐用。另外橙色的T才3折，真的不能不買!

上次Tecnifibre新出的Black Code 4S 18g/1.20mm使用感覺一直都很硬 (也就是甜點比較小)，大概維持了7個月就自動斷線了。

這次聽一位師兄介紹，挑選了這個比Black Code硬度更為低的Poly線Solinco Tour Bite Diamond Rough 17g作為Main (52lb)，而Cross則配搭之前用過比較硬的黑色Babolat RPM Blast 17g (55lb)。

開始的時候感覺整幅線床不夠Power，但用了大概一個鐘頭後，就開始慢慢適應了。發現整體感覺還是不錯的，尤其是發球，沒有再像以前震動得那麼利害 ，而且兩個鐘頭後手臂也沒有出現之前的酸軟，很可能跟Diamond Rough作為Main導致線床比較軟的原因。

最後發現不同網球線製造商的規格原來存在著輕微差異，譬如大家雖然都是Gauge 17但直徑(mm)還是有分別的。

Tecnifibre 17 = 1.25
Wilson 17 = 1.24
Solinco 17 = 1.20
Head 17 = 1.30

Solinco Tour Bite Diamond Rough 17

Solinco Tour Bite Rough is a textured co-poly with a phenomenal blend of precision and spin potential. The firm feel and extremely predictable response will enable players to take huge cuts at the ball. A great option for strong intermediates and advanced players who like ripping the cover off the ball. Try this thin gauge for even greater spin potential. Feels slightly softer than the original Tour Bite.

• Gauge: 17g (1.20mm)
• Length: 40ft/12.2m
• Construction: Co-polyester
• Color: Silver

Update: July 31, 2016

Last set didn’t even last for 3 months, but did produce good feeling, so I went back to the same set again, but this time 53lb x 55lb.

Update: Nov 14, 2016

The combination lasted more than 3 months this time, I decided to go for it again. this time string tension is 53lb x 53lb.

Update: Feb 1, 2016

The combination lasted for 2 1/2 months only!
