N-Code

Hahahaha.... not even a month past, I've already got a better racket. Even after restringing the previous one, the feel is not there. So, what did I do? Got and get myself a new N-code 145. Good thing the shop in Ampang Park give good deals. Got it for RM200. Would love to get the Prince or the Head.. but they were over my budget. I also got the Nike court shoes there. Cheapest of all Nike for RM120. Not bad at all.

Wahh.... after 2-3 games I could well feel the difference. My drive and and bosting are more accurate and I can drive off to the back wall more often now. Even a couple of times the ball was going out of court over the back wall. Since the power part of the hit is taken care off, now I have to train more on the control part.

That is it for now. Been searching around the web for Squash sites and training videos now. Ciao

Squash..

Argh... After about 8 years, yesterday I played squash again. Damn it was tiring. I forgot how hard on the body squash is. Especially this body.. Today I played again but lightly only.
Actually it was just a plan that was a spur of the moment between my office mate and I. He never played squash before. We were thinking of getting active again, since he now can spend extra time after office hours for exercise.

So, I went for racket shopping. Wow, the prices of the rackets and the materials has significantly rise and improved. Of all the rackets I saw, only 1 model are still made of alloy, all others are graphite or some carbon composite. And the prices.. only the alloy model falls below RM100, well actually I got it 2 for RM110 ( a promotion by a Pertama's shop), so RM55 each. Nevertheless, I think the racket suffice for now. I am not even sure how long will I be playing squash now. Hopefully it is continuous. Then maybe I will think of getting a better racket.

One thing for sure, I do hope that my gout won't come around often, so that I can enjoy squash more. Ciao.
