ayat untuk mengubat apabila terkena benda panas tu, adalah ayat dari surah anbiya' ayat ke 69..

** kisah yg nabi ibrahim baca masa kena masuk ke dalam api..

Tuesday, April 29, 2008

Dont do tis..

Jangan sengaja lewatkan solat.
Perbuatan ini Allah tidak suka.
Kalau tertidur lain cerita.



Jangan masuk ke bilik air tanpa memakai alas
kaki (selipar).
Takut kalau-kalau terbawa keluar najis,
mengotori seluruh rumah kita.


Jangan makan dan minum dalam
bekas yang pecah atau sumbing.
Makruh kerana ia membahayakan.




Jangan biarkan pinggan mangkuk yang telah
digunakan tidak berbasuh.
Makruh dan mewarisi kepapaan.




Jangan tidur selepas solat Subuh, nanti
rezeki mahal
(kerana berpagi-pagi itu membuka pintu
berkat).




Jangan makan tanpa membaca BISMILLAH dan doa makan.
Nanti rezeki kita dikongsi syaitan.





Jangan keluar rumah
tanpa niat untuk membuat kebaikan.
Takut-takut kita mati dalam
perjalanan.





Jangan pakai sepatu atau selipar yang
berlainan pasangan.
Makruh dan mewarisi kepapaan.




Jangan biarkan mata liar di perjalanan.
Nanti hati kita gelap
diselaputi dosa.




Jangan menangguh taubat bila berbuat
dosa kerana mati boleh datang
bila-bila masa.




Jangan ego untuk meminta maaf pada
ibu bapa dan sesama manusia
kalau memang kita bersalah.




Jangan mengumpat sesama rakan
taulan. Nanti rosak persahabatan kita
hilang bahagia.




Jangan lupa bergantung kepada ALLAH
dalam setiap kerja kita.

Nanti kita sombong apabila berjaya.
Kalau gagal kecewa pula.




Jangan bakhil untuk bersedekah.
Sedekah itu memanjangkan umur
dan memurahkan rezeki kita.




Jangan banyak ketawa. Nanti mati jiwa.



Jangan biasakan berbohong, kerana ia adalah
ciri-ciri munafik dan
menghilangkan kasih orang kepada kita.




Jangan suka menganiaya manusia atau haiwan. Doa
makhluk yang teraniaya
cepat dimakbulkan ALLAH.





Jangan terlalu susah hati dengan urusan dunia.
Akhirat itu lebih utama
dan hidup di sana lebih lama dan kekal selamanya.





Jangan mempertikaikan kenapa ISLAM itu berkata JANGAN.
Sebab semuanya untuk keselamatan kita.




ALLAH lebih tahu apa yang terbaik
untuk hamba ciptaanNya.

About Jin

Subject: KULIAH JIN : UST. HJ. ISMAIL KAMUS


1) Jin berasal dari Jan (Bapak Jin) dan gelarannya

Azazil. Dicipta dari api (biru), dan telah beramal

puluh ribu tahun lamanya .



2) Apabila Allah swt. memerintahkannya supaya tunduk

menghormati Nabi Adam, mereka telah ingkar. Allah swt.

melaknat dan perintah turun ke bumi.


Jin terbahagi kepada dua iaitu Jin Islam dan Syaitan.

3) Jin Islam pula terbahagi kepada dua iaitu Jin

Islam(Soleh) dan Jin Tidak Islam (Tidak Soleh).

Syaitan yang turun kesemuanya jahat (tidak Islam).



4) Makanannya dari Api (Asap). Itu sebab orang-orang

Melayu dilarang mengunakan kemenyan kerana Jin paling

suka dengan asap yang busuk. Tetapi orang-orang melayu

ini degil, suka sangat dengan asap kemenyan. Beliau

menambah, orang-orang yang suka hisap rokok itu,

adik-beradik jin lah tuu.




5) Tempat tinggal Jin seperti di awan, sungai, hutan,

lombong, laut, tempat-tempat tinggi (KLCC), tandas dan

kubur.


6) Beliau menasihat apabila ingin buang air di

perjalanan (contohnya jalanraya), perlu baca " Sala

Mun, 'Ala Sulaiman, Fil 'alamin."



Mengikut sirahnya jin sangat takut dengan Nabi

Sulaiman. Orang-orang Melayu suka sangat membaca

ucapan, "Ampun Datuk, Anak cucu tumpang lalu" Masa

bila pulak jin dapat pangkat datuk. Dan masa bila

pula, kita jadi cucu cicit jin !!!!


7) Jin tidak mengetahui akan alam ghaib, itu sebab

jika ada dukun atau bomoh yang tahu menilik-nilik

nasib, pembohong...." Sirahnya apabila Nabi Sulaiman,

memerintahkan jin untuk membina istananya, sehingga

Nabi Sulaiman meninggal pun jin tidak perasan/tahu.

Semasa itu Nabi Sulaiman duduk di kerusinya dengan

tongkat kayu. Dan jin tekun membuat kerja di

hadapan-nya. Sehingga anai-anai memakan tongkatnya dan

tongkat tersebut reput dan jatuh serta Nabi Sulaiman

pun jatuh, maka barulah tahu oleh jin bahawa Nabi

Sulaiman telah mangkat.




8) Manusia juga dilarang membuang air di

lombong-lombong yang airnya tenang, terutama di waktu

tengah malam. Jin suka mandi di situ, waktu itu. Di

larang juga buang air di lubang-lubang (tanah).

9) Rumah-rumah yang lama tidak berpenghuni atau rumah

yang baru siap belum duduk lagi, jin suka tinggal di

situ. Sebelum duduk rumah baru, di galakkan membaca

surah Al-Baqarah, sehingga habis. Jin lari selama 3

hari. Tidak perlu tepung tawar bagai.... orang melayu

suka sangat menepung tawar !!!


10) Jika budak menangis tengah-tengah malam, azankan 7

~ 10 kali, jika tidak bacakan ayat Kursi dengan cara 9

kali henti (tekniknya) sebab beliau pernah jumpa orang

yang di rasuk.

* Kalau rajin..Tolong sebarkan maklumat ini kepada

saudara Muslim Muslimat yang lain. Ilmu yang

bermanfaat ialah salah satu amal yang berkekalan

bagi orang yang mengajarnya meskipun dia sudah mati.

Tournament.


saya ada satu email. tp ade dalam simpanan server yg lama. nak kena gi kat server tu dlm bilik server baru boleh akses.

email tu drpd keratan akhbar drpd jordan yg memuatkan artikel drpd majlis ulama' sedunia yg berpusat di mekah.

dlm artikel berkenaan dinyatakan x boleh sebahagian besar hadiah drpd duit penyertaan drpd pemain.

yg saya faham kira kalau sebahagian kecil kira bolehlah. then saya refer kpd pengarah pusat islam kat sini.. depa pun sependapat dgn artikel berkenaan. yg saya faham utk hadiah kena ada sumber lain. mungkin sponsor kot. kalau duit penyertaan pemain tu yg saya faham utk sebahagian kecil utk hadiah x pe.. or guna utk kegunaan ramai mcm bola kejohanan ke sewa dewan ke.. air minuman pemain ke x de masalah kot.

tu la nak kena yg arif ulas psl benda ne. benda2 camne x leh kita nak guna logik akal .. kena based kpd ilmu. nak kena tanya org yg berilmu.

Best of The Best

Best forehand: Wang Liqin, China
The lanky Wang has the strongest muscle groups as a table tennis player, which is the result of years of hard training. He is the physically strongest in Asia and has agility rarely seen in European players. He hits the ball early and has a killer forehand drive with precision. Unlike traditional Chinese topspin players who are dangerous only while playing close to the table, Wang is as deadly close to the table as away from.

Best backhand: Kalinikos Kreanga, Greece

Before playing table tennis, Kreanga practiced gymnastics. No wonder why he can flex his arm in his backhand loop in a way that nobody else can. He is rather below average height. With his small size he can afford to make longer strokes, because he can get ready for the next shot easier. If you are average height, and attempt his shots, there is no way you could make them consistently with his kind of power.

Best serve: Liu Guoliang, China

No one has reached Liu Guoliang's height in terms of serving with pips-in and pips-out rubbers. He is able to add strong spin to his serves, especially his forehand backspin serve. With nearly the same flick of the wrist, Liu can serve with forehand rubber and backhand rubber, serve lefty topspin and backspin, righty topspin and backspin. He can easily set up for killer smashes with a slew of wicked serves.

Best receive: Liu Guoliang, China

Liu has different ways to receive serves. He can loop, smash, push, chop-block and flip serves. He can receive with either forehand or backhand, long or short, straight or diagonal. More important, he has a perfect touch. Also nominated: Jan-Ove Waldner(Sweden), Kong Linghui (China)

Best short ball: Ma Lin

While Liu Guoliang has the best receive, Ma Lin is the most consistent and dangerous in short returns. He has the best control and connection in short balls.

Best footwork: Ryu Seung Min, South Korea

South Koreans, mostly playing with pip-in rubber in the penhold grip, have the best footwork in the world. Ryu covers as much space as Kim Taek Soo but is even faster and has better judgment than his compatriot. He is more aggressive because he plays closer to the table than Kim.

Best tactics: Liu Guoliang, China; Ryu Seung Min, South Korea

Around 1995, Liu Guoliang was the most tactics-conscious in the world. In the 21st century, Ryu has caught up with the Chinese. In the 2004 Olympics, Ryu used the well-thought tactics to beat immensely experienced Swede Jan-Ove Waldner and Chinese upstart Wang Hao to win the singles gold medal. Liu is faster than Ryu but the South Korean is bolder in tactics execution.

Best choppers: Ding Song, China; Joo Se Hyuk, South Korea

South Korean Joo Se Hyuk and Chinese Ding Song are the best and most crowd-pleasing defensive players in the world. Ding brought a revolutionary style to the sport by mixing chops with loops and counter-drives. Ding has a good serve and has a sudden and strong forehand drive. Joo has modern active defensive play with a great backhand chop and an enormous forehand topspin.

Best block: Chiang Peng-Lung, Chinese Taipei

Chiang has the most consistent backhand block among the penholders. His jab-block is good enough to offset heavy-spin drives.

1-ply, and the other being a 7 ply

This info may help..... The following is partial correspondence between Borko and myself last weekend:
(My Question)
Borko,
What would you say the differences are between 2 hinoki blades using the same wood, but one being a 1-ply, and the other being a 7 ply of the same exact thickness? Which one would be faster? Please add any of your thoughts about this question. Thanks.
(Borko's Reply)
Hi Pongcrazy,

Speed of the blade is dependent on several factors:

  • Density of the wood
  • Thickness of the blade
  • Moisture content

With one ply Hinoki blades on the top of all off this we have to take the number of lines per linear inch of its with. So as you can see asking what blade is faster is not an easy thing to do and give the answer. As both blades will be fast I would like to think that one ply will have the edge in terms of hitting flat balls , blocking and game where quick hitting exchanges are needed, while 7 pls will be better for spins and drops and short game at the table .As you move away of the table 4-6 feet 1 ply blade will tend to start fading away while the 7 ply even away of the table will still be in focus and power will be there. So it really depends an what are you going to use it for and what game do you play. One ply blade in time aside from having great feel will become lighter while 7 ply will not loose in its weight so much.One ply blade is used buy the hitter's who like to flat hit but 5,7,9 plys are used buy the spiner's but this is only a general separation.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Borko

Strategy againts long pimple player.

I get what the idea of avoiding such hardbat players; however, there will always be those who play this hard-hitting style, whether they are using a Hock w/ Dr. Evil or just some pip set up on the same blade you use. Like I mentioned earlier, there are still MANY penholders who play this game . . . short pip smashing. Heck, I'm starting to think that might be my cpen style option. Not everyone is going to use MAX rubbers, stand back 5 feet, and loop drive. There is an obvious conspiracy to limit the sport to Euro style loopers. I'll just say this and leave the debate for another thread!
Although there is some merit to the advice of avoiding hardbat and other unusual styles of play at your stage of learning, eventually you will play all different styles and lose. I have taken many, many games off better players simply because they have no idea what to do with my style of play (at least for a game or two), which until recently has been Seemiller. You can avoid me, or deal with me.
Advice: avoid me and hardbat and basically any unusual strokers until you have your basics down, then play everyone and figure out how to win. It will make your game more versatile and you will learn strategies that will help you take points from conventional as well as non-conventional players.
*Sometimes it's hard for me to find good practice/drill partners. Everyone says I throw off their timing and I don't hit deep enough for them to sit back and practice their looping. I can skim the net about half the time. :-). Well, RoboPong rarely complains!
**YES, fast backhand sidespin serves seem to be a problem for the sandpaper players.

****Borko Interview: Q & A****

****Borko Interview: Q & A****
Posted: Yesterday at 3:24pm

Guys, I submitted all of your questions to Borko and he has kindly answered them. Here is the transcript:


**********

How exactly would he make a customized blade for a guy living on the East Coast? Do I send him a video of me playing?

*** After order is placed series of question are communicated between me and the player about its game style of play and playing characteristics and then the blade is crafted ***

What type of player would he recommend a carbon, Arylate/kevlar, Aramid blade to? and why?


*** I do not use carbon fibers in the construction of my blades . All of the blades that I make are of 100% wood fibers. Having sad this I realize that carbon, arylate , Kevlar and other materials are used in the construction of modern blades so I can not comment on them due to my limited understanding of these materials. I understand wood blades only. ***

Can you please improve your handle design to make it look more attractive and cool?

*** Thank you for bringing this to my attention. New Borko & Son blades are made with the new designs using exotic and rare hard woods . *

What is the general price range? I realise that it will probably vary since each blade is unique, but what would an average price tag be?

*** General price range for the blade is 150.00$ postage included for deliveries within continental U.S. of A , International orders shipments are in addition to this as we use United States Postal Service . Rates of the USPS for the international deliveries are quite reasonable.*

How long does it take to build the blade itself? do u have any set routines? is it a son and dad thing, with regards to both of you guys doing the one blade?

*** All the work is done by myself and traditions learned in instrument making are very much part of the blade making process. It takes me approximately 6-8 hrs to craft a blade understanding that due to the hide glues used in production each veneer of wood takes 12 hrs to fully cure. With 5, 7 and sometimes 9 ply blades it takes a bit longer. I make all laminations myself from beginning till end. Son is going to finish his education so it is for all practical purposes is just me making the blades ***

Did you have any idols as a young boy do u still do?

*** My idols when I was growing and playing in what used to be known as Yugoslavia just to name a few: Surbek ,Stipancic,Jonier,Klampar,Alser,Johanson,Li Fu Yung, Chuang Ce Tung and of course Stellan Bentsson who I see every day, for we are both in San Diego TT one of the biggest club in the USA with more than 850 registered members last year.*

Why five plies instead of 1?

*** One ply is blade is used by the players who like the Power and the feeling for there blade. Often made of Kiso Hinoki wood which is Japanese cypress that grows in high mountains of Japan. Blade made of Kiso Hinoki has specific playing characteristics that are highly prized by the pen holder players especially one that like to flat hit the ball. Upon request I make the 1 ply and 5 ply Hinoki blade for the players that prefer that type of wood. I myself use a blade that is 5 ply made of Hinoki Wood. Lately type of American wood called Port Orford Cedar is used as a substitute for Kiso Hinoki. “POC” is characterized by the different coloration of dark strikes and it is a bit softer with the wider grain growth. Kiso Hinoki due to its growth in the higher elevation is milky white with slight pink coloration tight grain both are aromatic but Kiso Hinoki is characterized by the bountiful lemony smell and it is often preferred to “POC”.***

Does a balsa center provide anything more to a blade than stiffness and lightness? Why in most blades the center ply is much thicker than the outer plies

*** Yes you are correct.“Core” of the blade is wide center layer usually made of Balsa, Poplar, Bass and sometimes Kiso Hinoki , gives blade its stiffness and lightness than a thin layer of the first veneers next to it are called “primary” and finally “secondary” on the top ply (are the ones you see). Direction of the grain of the wood gives the characteristics and stability to blade***

What is your favorite wood?/ What type of woods do you use to made the blade?

***It is hard to say what is my favorite wood. Each wood has its own characteristics and if I have to chose it will be Purple Hart, Movenge, Koto,Kiso Hinoki well I really like them all and there characteristics. Sometimes I use the Wood you do not hear about like Olive Wood for instance.***

Professional players stand to benefit most from a customized design and construction. Does custom design play a large role for top players?

***Professional player knows what he needs and they insist on the things they like. Just like with us ordinary club players everyone is different. Main difference is that they do not change the equipment often like we do. Most stick and stay with the equipment that works. They spend more time to improve the elements of their game after all it is their profession. But often they need to replace and repair the equipment. So from time to time I engage in the restoration and the repair of the blades. Last year I had to repair the old blade for Stefan Feth. He use the old Joola “Legend” blade that is not made any more. ***

How long is the delivery time? If I for example were to order one tomorrow, when could I expect to be playing with it? (live in Europe) .

***Present delivery time is 2-3 weeks. There are several orders in place and I’m the only one making blades. Most of the customers know that and are understanding and are willing to weight.***

About Nittaku Violin and Acoustic:

Do you make something similar?*** Yes I do ***
Could you give an estimate of the cost of making the Nittaku blades?

*** Every blade that I make is custom made .Most of them are 150.00$ some little more. If you like the “Nittaku” blade you should buy the “Nittaku” blade .In the case of mass produced blades you are matched to a pre-made blade characteristics .In the case of small private maker blades characteristics are matched to you and you game. So if you want the blade made to fit your game you will look for a private maker to craft a blade for you.***

What are most important factors affecting the power, the speed and the control of a blade?

***Power and speed are directly dependent on number of plies and the type of wood used. “Control” of the blade is different thing for you and me and lets say Samsonov. But in my opinion “control” is the most important characteristic of the blade. You can generate the power when you need it but “control” you ether have in the blade or not. Control is also something we also develop in the game by training hard and practicing long hrs .I like to say that ”Power is Nothing Without Control”.***


4. How to produce synergy between rubber and the blade?

***Often mistake are made in selection of the rubber for the particular blade to suit the payer and his needs. There are three variables :

v player,

v blade

v rubber.

Rubber we chose for the particular blade needs to compliment the playing characteristics of the blade and together with the blade fit the players need. Often new and inexperienced player will chose a fast blade and fast rubber combo let say Bryce/Kreanga Carbon. After we often wonder what is in control of what, Player of his blade ,or its blade in control of him?***

Is it easy to make identical blades (in terms of playing characters)? How large the variation usually?

***To make identical blade is possible and hard and it is best done at the time blades is ordered. Often request is made buy the customers for two blades at the time matched to its playing characteristics and the weight.

Everyone is familiar with the case of finding the blade that they like, lets say Korbel” 80 grams. They go to store arm with the weight scale go over 30 “Korbel” blades and finally find the one of same weight. When they put the rubber on to there surprise it plays nothing like the blade they already have. How is this possible? Same blade ,brand name ,exact weight but totally different playing characteristics.

The answer is in the mass production of the blades .Large companies (not the name the names) use different wood suppliers, different OEM companies to make the blades it self .So even that there are standards and quality control in place they mostly look the same.

Private makers of blades like instrument makers use the wood supply that is in their shop for years. I have wood that have sat in my shop for 30 years now. Wood like that is naturally seasoned and aged and it is very stable. Large companies and blade manufacturers do not have time to do that. They have to make the blades for the large market

Have you always wondered why everyone likes the “old blade”?***

Compared to making instruments is blade making low tech? or a piece of art? or high tech?

**Compared to instrument making , making of the table tennis blade is very similar. Let say that we have the two identical blades in every aspect. One goes to professional player who practices 4 hrs per day and plays matches 4 time a week and the other blade goes to my closet and sits there . Ten years down the line both blades meet each other again , both get the same rubber and they are played side by side by the same player. What do you think will be the better blade? One that was played for 10 years and was “driven” four hrs. per day or the one that “fell a sleep” in my closet. One that looked like the “ugly duckling” with bumps , bruises and scars from the battles and numerous matches and hits on the table or the one “pristine” looking that “fell a sleep” in my closet. One that was used by a player for four hrs a day will clearly outperform in every aspect the one blade that was not used.

But you do not want to listen to me . After all I do believe that “Table Tennis blades go to sleep”.

***Use of glues in the making of the table tennis blades ***

Use of natural ( hide glues) compares to modern glues(resin glues) is one of essential steps in making of the fine instruments .This time honored proven tradition I feel is very important in making of the table tennis blades. As instrument every table tennis blade vibrate to some degree . Sometimes we welcome this vibration and sometimes not.

Vibration of the blade after the ball is struck with it is what we call the “feel”. It is hard to explain what the “feel” is but if you ever try to make an effective drop shot and take all the energy out of the incoming ball with the blade you have depended on “feel “ of the blade to do this. Some blades are better to execute this than others. Have you played very short pushes and couple of points the “short game” welcome to the “feel of the blade” .To some players this means a lot and to some nothing at all but all blades will vibrate. Modern glues will dry by the chemical reaction and in the process of drying will leave the layer of the glue on the top of the surface. Glue as such will dampen the vibration of the blade . So as we look at the 5 ply or 7 or 9 ply blade we are rely playing a mixture of “glue” and the “wood”. Some glues are better than others .But naturally made glues will seep in to the substructure of the wood thus leaving this very thin layer in between the pieces of the wood improving the “feel” and I believe the performance of the blade. Hide glues are harder to work with,there is a shelf life to worry about, temperature of application is about 140°F this is very important and its called “open time”. Unused glue had to be kept in freezer to prevent the growth of microorganism in it.

So all in all hide glues I feel are better for the blades but they are the pain ………. to use and work with . If you are used to it bund of two layers of wood will be just as strong as with the modern glues but the “feel” of the blade will be improved . This process is time consuming and it takes time to set and cure. As materials used in construction of the blade its age ,moisture everything makes the difference to some degree.

I trust that this explanation will shed some light on the use of the hide glues. As originally started with the “private labels” and small makers hide glues are now accepted with the large companies as a superior way to make a blade when the “feel” of the blade is of concern.

Forehand Loop Master DVD Review by Agni

As promised here is the review for the Forehand Loop DVD . The DVD is one hour in length and is fully
dedicated to Forehand TopSpin/Loop . The DVD is segmented into 5 levels & one level on Game Analysis ,
Strategy . The 5 levels are basic loops , looping rally against block ,serve & attack , counter loops
& finally side spin (hook) loops , fade loop . The demostration are done by coach against different type of
spin and also in each section real game examples are shown .

At start you are introduced to three types of Loop
a) Slow Loop
b) Fast Loop (loop kill)
c) Loop Drive

Slow Loop:-
After intial segment on three loops you are then shown the Slow Loop technique . The coach explains the
body positioning , movement of the body , racket angel in the start of the segment . The coach has a good
relaxed action and is quite motivating to see . I just thought to go and do it on the table there and then,
as I found it so easy to do . The demostration of slow loops kicks off in Still position against backspin.
Also it is explained when it should be performed (opening against push for e.g or slowing down the tempo) .

After the slow loop against Backspin in still position , playing against multiball is shown . In this
case you can see the footwork of the coach . Please note that no details on footwork is explained (outside
the scope) . The DVD is fully focussed on making the loop (reaching there can only be seen on the video) .

Once Slow Loop against backspin is explained , you are moved to section slow loop against topspin .
The racket angle , the difference is explained in this section . (The racket is more moving in forward
direction then upward ) . I think I need to practice slow loop against topspin as it really helps
you to attack in control manner the long topspin serves or to get back in the rally .
The still position and multiball is explained one by one . All loops are also shown in real games and
how they are used in real match situation .


Regarding the Action of the coach - The coach's backswin is very big , it goes far back to the left
(more than 90 degree) , it is explained that this is his personal style . I think people who are learning
looping should not emulate the complete backswing of the coach , but take it till the 90 degree mark.
The problem which I can see is the recovery time with a very high backswing .But the speed & spin will be immense .

Fast Loop -
This section covers how to perform fast loop , when to use it (3rd ball , 5th ball etc) . It goes in the
same mode as for the slow loop . You are first shown how to carry it out gainst back spin and then against
topspin in still & then in moving position .


Loop Drive -
This section covers how to perform fast loop , when to use it (counter rally ) . It goes in the
same mode as for the slow loop . You are first shown how to carry it out gainst back spin and then against
topspin in still & then in moving position .

Level 2 - Once you are proficient in the above you are told to move to next section i.e. playing against
a block for a continous rally . You are also advised to use the loops in combination like
opening aginst a push with a slow loop and then fast looping the block return or Loopdriving the
serve return and fastlooping the block return .

Level 3 - This section is dedicated to serve & loopkill , 3rd ball , 4th ball , 5th ball , 6th ball .
You are shown how to setup a point by combining the loops as explained earlier .

Level 4 - This section is on counter looping and gives details on how , when to use it .


All levels are explained by coach by visual demostration and also by real game examples .


Level 5 - This section is detailed on side spin loops and fade loops . (Fade Loop is a loop which is not in
repository & I found it difficult to get it from the dvd ) It says hit the ball early , on the back, side ,
and racket going from right to the left accross the body .

I like the sidespin loops of the coach . The Trajectory is good and is really good for people who dont have
it in their arsenal .


Finally you are shown real games examples with analysis , strategy and the video signoffs with that .

Results : Personally I find the DVD loop satisfactory and very good for beginner or intermediate players.
Players who are good loopers can learn or get something from the action or from Types of loops demostrated .


But the big part which it misses (and which I always tell young players to learn) is on the table loops .
I find this types of loop as a differnt type of loops and I think that it must be added as another level .
What I understand is that it is assumed that once you loop like way it is demostarted , you will be able
to carry out on the table topspin also .

Some more empahasis on footwork would have been helpful . All in all , it is good training dvd and useful
for your training .

I will return for a review on Forehabnd Smash ince I go thru it . Please inform me If this review
is useful for you.

Cheers,

my car kat seremban.


last weekend was a memorable journey. for the first time i travel/driving alone thru the router above. at 8am on thurday going to ofis then present audit finding at bendahari then aroung 9am start driving to kl. it was raining all day long. road was very dangerous since air bertakung and jalan also not rata. jalan lama kt gua musang. reaach kl around 5pm. then go to pusat bandaraya.. try to find my way to ocm, not sure than call raslan. after that i drive to lowyat plaza to reinstall some software that was missing from my pda. by 7pm i drove back to uia gombak to go to hj lokman house. spend time there untill 11pm. then meet aswan and we hv supper at ampang kot. dia belanja for my birthday 9th 29/2/2008.

than i plan to continue my journey to jb. but feel tired. so berenti kat rnr seremban. after minum kopi ternampak HIGHWAY hotel. cheap rm49. so i decide to overnight there. hv a gud sleep dlm aircond. in d morning around 7am++ have breakfast at rnr again alone, eat kuih and kopi o and continue.... then kat johor ke melaka berenti lagi makan nasi lemak...

by 11am i reach jb. actually i am visiting my father in law kat hospital sultanah aminah. alhamdullilah sampai juga. so tired. sleep for a while.. solat jumaat.. sleep and in d evening visit ayah. esok pun sama visiting ayah lunch time and evening. mlm pi main pp sat dgn geng permai.

sunday. i am going back to kaybee alone. decide nak ikut mersing, wake up very early... after subuh.. terus plan to go.. around 6++ that time i departure from jb, salam dgn mak da puda... and drive... actually ne first time i am driving alone ikut mersing... biasanya kami drive ikut segamat-gambang. but my instinct kata nak ikut mersinglah.

i am also surprise. by 8++ dah reach mersing, so cari tpt for bfast.. i decide to go to the jeti.. coz facing the sea.. ada few gerai situ... and i eat nasi ambang, teh tarik and buy also 100 plus and 2 kek pisang.

from mersing drive past thru endau romping and pekan. so at pekan. pi minum sat. than masa nak start kete balik bunyi bateri semcm. i guess bateri mmg weak dah. so thinking of jauh lg nak travel... so i decide to cari worksyop and tukar bateri. jumpa kedai india kat pekan... tukar bateri and beli liquid for windows coz me 200++.. guna credit card. lupa.. kt pekan tu nmpk org dk mancing.. nampak tak dlm pic tu?

then drive again... plan nak stop somewhere at cherating for lunch... and sampai kt cherating nmpk ada satu kedai byk kete. decide to stop. ada jual nasi n lauk n nasi ayam. just order nasi ayam. then sambung my journey. plan a was to singgah kt masjid terapung kt ktganu. but when reach dungun i was already tired. so decide to stop and pray.

after pray dah 2++pm but my car clock x betul show me 3++pm.. make me confuse for a while.. so i compare with my pda and jam.. emmm next plan to stop kt ktganu to eat keropok lekor.. but unlucky not my rezeki.. terlepas kedai tu.. so keep on driving..

sampai kat jabi , jalan yg ada divider to.. i take the oppurtunity to speed.. then lepas highway to police than... try menyorok belakang lori but dia dah aim my car. so kena saman la cik. the officer quite friendly. he tell me to pay at besut to get 50% discount.

continue driving.. emm by 6 i should arrive in kaybee ne. plan to play pp but my body feel so tired. so when reach pasir putih i decide to find car wash n berenti minum sat. jumpa after town of pasir putih... while my car was being wash i makan maggi berkuah ada lauk ayam la daging telur sayur... and milo panas... pay rm8 for car wash and drive home. reach home around 7 kot. the end. mlm ne penat lepak tido je.. esok pun bangun still penat lagi. next time i can do it again :) insyallah but drive sederhana and steady yea
