Oldskul,
Pagdating mo dito, puede kitang bigyan ng nBlade 104, K blade medyo mahirap, pero Dunlop ka baka magtampo sa iyo si Roland.
Gamit ko K Pro open, mas type ko yung K pro tour, kaya lang medyo sumasakit ang braso pag feed, pero pang hataw kalaban ang top juniors at ang ibang pro dito (maraming wanabees pro dito,BSS, bilib sa Sarili), palaban lalong nasasakang sila.
Meron pa akong halos 30 rakets (lots of nCodes) dito, kaya mong dalhin sa Pinas, kasama mo na naman si nino, baka puede mong dalhin. Huwag mo lang ibenta ha, baka tirahin ka na naman ni SLP
 

[altodds]

Oldskul,
kung type mo ang n pro open, n blade 98 ang pinakamalapit.
Dating gamit ko rin yan, napunta kay  Leo dati, ngayon, papunta na riyan sa Pinas ang 3 npro open, kung gusto mo lumang Nblade 98, yun ang gamit ko rin dati , tatlo maganda pa. About nBlade 104 medyo iba ang stability compared to 98, sabi ko nga I can give you the 104 kaya lang medyo magaan.

[jun tabura]

dami mo palang raketa dyan ah!!!hahehee..

RACKETWHIZ n RENALD,

  Want to ask something, dati gamit ko raket ay wilson surge, nice n solid, then switch to ncode open same solid, but i switched to ksurge so light cant use it. then dunlop gave me 500tour, using it for 2months to powerfull n my wrist is in pain. now my question is, wilson nblade104 solid like ncodeopen? or k-open better? hope to hear from u. thanks

Nblade 106 or Kblade 104 is almost identical and is very similar the the head radical os series. Its lighter than your Npro open and more flexible. The flex is similsr to your nsurge. The aerogel 500 tour is similar to your npro open except that its heavier and a little less head light. Maybe the additional weight is too much for you. As to power, The aerogel 500 tour has a lighter version. Aerogel 500. Same color, size, etc except lighter so less power than the tour. If its not the weight that is bothering you, maybe the string. I think Roland gave you a dunlop dynamite or explosive string which are both made of poly and very stiff. These strings are actually made by topsin of germany. So try to get Dunlop Mfil 16 from roland to check if this will help solve your arm problem. If it does not work, get the Aerogel 500.

SIR RACKETWIZ / RENALD,

Kindly enlighten me with my racquet (Aerogel 400) with Toalson Thermax 127 @ 60lbs.
Sometimes I feel that there is no power. I do not know if this because I'm late in hitting the ball or adding topspin on it. One thing I gain in the racket is that now I'm more consistent than when I'm using the Wilson Htour. Iam still in the learning process improving my skill.

Appreciate your unselfish advise on this.

[oldskul]

Altodds,

sorry, ibig ko pala sabihin ay K-BLADE 104, NOT NBLADE! OK ba the K-BLADE 104? Gusto ko yung feel ng NCODE-OPEN. Wala kasi dito ng K-OPEN gamit ata ni LOPEZ at LLORDA yun, color black n green at 100 ang head size...parang magaan yung K-BLADE104. Cge save mo lang yang racket mo dyan at mamimili ako.

[oldskul]

RENALD,

  SORRY, ibig ko sabihin ay K-BLADE 104 NOT NBLADE 104! Mukhang magaan yung K-BLADE104 compare sa NPRO OPEN, thats what im using now. KSURGE TO LIGHT! What can you recomend sa wilson racket na same with NPRO OPEN? Yup im using dynamite strings main and 17gauge synthethic cross. tried the aerogel 500, its different, i think im used with wilson... but im planning to get racket sa states nalang coz im going there for US OPEN with my player. hopefully we get our visa. if not will be going to japan... thanks for your help.

K Blade 104 medyo magaan, gamit yata ng Williams sis.
K Pro Open ang gamit ko,  Yung sabi ko bagay sa iyo yung K Pro Tour, gamit ni Lopez, green and black nga, pero may labas dito Black and Red kulay ng gamit ko ngayon.
Subukan mo rin yung K Tour, gamit ni Nishikori, ang tagal na sa akin hindi ko ginagamit, sinubukan ko kanina ang sarap ipalo, konting balancer lang ayos na.
Pag dating mo na lang dito, subukan mo lahat.
K Pro tour, K pro open, K pro team, pareho lahat ang porma, weight at konting design lang ang pag kaiba, K pro tour ang bagay sa iyo, leather ang grip, parang kay Fed at K Blade tour 93 ni Djoker

[altodds]

sa akin na lang kuya altodss.ahahahahahaha... joke lang..
dami mo palang raketa dyan ah!!!hahehee..

naglaro kami ni bastos kanina,, talo cya..hehehe...

Tinalo mo si Bastus, kukulamin ka niya, bukas puro butlig na ang buong katawan mo
Relax ka lang pag nakalugar puede kitang bigyan ng raket.
Butterfly or Nittakku puede ba sa iyo yon? 

[gerikoh]

wow, nalampasan ko tong thread na to ah. sayang, giyera na sana. ahahaha joke lang. peace tau dito ah? hehehe

i'll kill myself if the nblade was a fake. hehehehe

nabili mo ata yan kay oldskul yang nblade mo, di bah! I doubt it!

nope, sa wilson ko nabili yan

[renald]

Hi oldskul,
I think the best option is to take altods offer of trying the rackets. There is no substitute to actual testing. Kpro open based on specs is closest to your Npro open. same head, weight although slightly less head light than the ncode version which means a little heavier to swing. K pro tour is smaller at 96" and a lot heavier but lighter head similar to K61 rackets. Its a control racket compared to the open.

[renald]

Hi Lito,
Your dunlop racket is more control racket than your wilson. Its heavier but lighter head and has more flex. Maybe you still have to get used to the heavier weight. The lower power level probobably led you to think that you gained more spin because of the shorter depth in your shots. Maybe you can try lowering your tension a little to get some of the speed back. Its really a trade off, more power less control and vice versa. Its a matter of finding the best compromise. I also believe that you find your dunlop more stable than your wilson but harder to swing.

[jun tabura]

hahaha..

yep,tinalo ko kahapon,..
pero may laro cya ngayong umaga.may tournament kasi kami sa club..hehehe...
nangumusta pala cya sa iyo kuya altods

Hi Lito,
Kamusta na racket mo?

[mikki_blinkme]

i have a pair of my dream racket. my racket is wilson prostaff 6.0 95. yung string dunlop synthetic gut 17g. tension di ko alam pero kung tatanchahin ko cguro 57-58lbs. may nakita akong site na si sampras daw 75-85lbs daw ang tension.

[jov]

sir renald, sir racketwiz, is this true? ganun ba katigas yung tension ni sampras? fracture aabutin o sa ganung tension

[renald]

Yes that is true. But the added heft of sampras racket should compesate for the ultra high tension plus he uses natural gut which is very soft and elastic.

[jov]

ah, pero sir renald pano pag synthetic or poly gamit nya tapos 80 yung tension, puputok ba yung racket nya?

[renald]

ah, pero sir renald pano pag synthetic or poly gamit nya tapos 80 yung tension, puputok ba yung racket nya?

hindi, puputok ang braso mo. joke lang.

[jov]

Hi Fabs,
Are you aware that your N5 is fake? Where did you buy?

sir renald, i recently bought an aero pro drive racket at chris sports, how can i be sure that its not fake? and ano po dapat mga tignan? pls do reply. thank you so much

[penny_hardaway]

kung sa chris sports cguro hindi naman yan fake!!!

[renald]

Its difficult to illustrate. But Chris sports is an authorized dealer of babolat. It would be safe to say its genuine.

[jov]

cge na po sir renald, paki elaborate po mga dapat tingnan, i really want to be sure... thanks

[renald]

Its difficult if you are not familiar with the model. Example yung color hindi tama. Glossy or flat. Yung print malaki at hindi sharp. R instead of TM. Best way is not to buy from sellers who just visit your tennis court. Madalas sasabihin galing us or abroad yung racket. Now assuming genuine nga, saan ka magpapawarranty incase na may factory defect? That is why its is always safer to buy from authorized dealer. Sa TOby's, Chris, etc ask kung branch kasi some franchisees sell counterfeit. Like the one we used to have in our place and sa cebu, nag close na yung mga franchise.

[mikki_blinkme]

mga sir meron kayang binebenta sa chris or tobys or any sports shop na head bumper ng prostaff 6.0 95? kung meron magkano? mag-fit kaya yung pang k61 95 or n61 95?

[reboj]

mga sir meron kayang binebenta sa chris or tobys or any sports shop na head bumper ng prostaff 6.0 95? kung meron magkano? mag-fit kaya yung pang k61 95 or n61 95?

boss kahit anong bumper guard walang tinda sa mga sports shop natin dito,ako nga hanap ng butt cap ng Head eh wala din sila try pa daw kung pwede order sa supplier nila..Ebay boss try mo pero ung sa US na ebay ha hinde ph.

[renald]

mga sir meron kayang binebenta sa chris or tobys or any sports shop na head bumper ng prostaff 6.0 95? kung meron magkano? mag-fit kaya yung pang k61 95 or n61 95?

May I ask why you want to change the head bumper. If it because of wear and tear, I dont recommend changing it since the racket might be about to break na. But if its in good condition but a grommet is broken which causes your string to break prematurely, try using nylon tubing. I have butt caps for 3/8 and 1/2(new). Or you may also get the butt caps of your old broken rackets.

head radical tour OS with gamma live wire 17. the racket is basically a prince graphite. great racket but too much power. i already have it strung @ 30 kilos (66 lbs.) 10 of those.
the prince spectrum comp 110. great consistent performing racket. basically a toned down version of the prince graphite. lots of control. had these forever. don't use them much anymore. strung with gamma synthetics.
the head microgel extreme pro. with the gamma live wire 17. a great racket but very stiff for me. i strung this @ 55 lbs. i couldn't figure this racket out. this was given to me by head for free as a PTR member benefit. i traded this for 3 of my current sticks now.
the gamma G325. i got these rackets at a very special deal from gamma....(only available to PTR members) 95 sq in frame 325g. a great combination of control but also powerful when you need it...kind of hard to describe. i'll be using gamma ZO 17's. 12 more coming to me from gamma.
the G325 will be my main rackets. yung iba will go to my boys. they play so di na kailangan pang bumili.

the rackets that are sold at the sports authority are usually discontinued models, there are only certain things that will buy at the sports authority.

I have news on my racket and some clarification. My cousin bought my n5 from Sports Authority in Illinois, we called them up and asked about why my n5 has no slit or triad tech. They said that "thats a nice question" haha, in other words they do not know, so they referred us to a wilson representative (aba pinasa kami parang nasa pinas din, hehe). So, when we talked to the wilson rep he said that my racket is not fake (sigh of relief, hahaha ) but it lacks triad tech, yun ang downside parang misrepresentation yun kasi nga yung n5 supposedly has triad tech (pde itong i sue sa court violation of consumer rights, para may lifetime supply ng racket, hehe). He said that the reason was that Wilson manufactured those rackets specifically for Sports Authority to sell it at a lower price the draw back daw is the n5 that i bought has less shock absorption compared to those that have triad tech. Meron pa, sabi nya the n5 that has no triad tech is more powerful than the ones that have triad tech, that i no longer understood. The guy lost me the moment he said your racket is not fake, the bottomline is my racket is authentic, HAHAHA! 

Lesson learned "sa susunod huwag basta bibili ng murang racket", hehe.
