0.4cm... perbezaan hnya sedikit...BUT ia menghasilkan result yg BERBEZA!!!! im so stress with this 0.4cm.....isk2....i had learn so many thing this 2 days.... its NOT ez to be perfectionist!!! and yet to be the beginner for this kindda of thing, i have to learn a lot.. have to consider a lot... hv to think a lot... hv to b patient a lot....hv to sarcrifice a lot....and its so hard to b perfectionist at the beginning and with low technology that available and of course low cost as possible....
what im gonna do now??? let the 0.4cm be the pillar to destroy the design or do it again with different printer (lab's printer, im afraid to destroy the head bcoz im using 230gm ppr) ???? or simply send it for printing which are costly ....fiy i already finish 1 bundle paper bcoz of the spelling, to fix blurry edges and now latest prob is 0.4cm pillar ...arghh!!! i dun mind i hv to spend a lot of money.....as long im satisfied with my work....bcoz im doing it like my baby.....................................................................................
Clay vs Grass
2:54 PM | Author: nadIRa
Dulu i thought main tennis kat mn2 pon samer jer..but then i realize its NOT same laaa....pttlaa slalunye org yg terer main kat grass or hardcourt, xmenyerlah kat clay and vice versa.. tp RAFA dh makin terer main kat grass.. vamoss RAFA!! Kat clay, player ley slide sana sini so pergerakan dia akn laju tp kat grass xley nk slide sgt but permainan dia laju coz kadar ball bouncing lg tinggi banding clay.
Heres the diff between grass court and clay court.
1. Bounce. It has already been mentioned that the different surfaces change the way the ball bounces. When you play on clay, the ball buries itself in the clay every time that it hits the ground. In terms of pure physics, this causes the ball to lose momentum in the horizontal direction which leads to what tennis players refer to as the slowing effect of clay. On the other hand, when balls bounce on the grass they actually slide and this means that much less of the ball's momentum is lost in the horizontal direction than when it hits the ground on clay or even on hard courts.



2. Speed. On clay, the surface slows the ball down significantly each time that it hits the court. This means that if a player relies on his/her power to beat opponents, their shots that are usually more effective on other surfaces will be less effective on clay (this is why Pete Sampras could never win consistently on clay, and why Andy Roddick, the product of the power game, will never amount to anything on clay). On grass, the ball slides each time it bounces and, as was mentioned previously, it looses less momentum than it would on other surfaces. This makes grass an extremely fast surface and is why big servers and serve and volleyers do so well on grass.



3. Spin. The different surfaces also change the way tennis balls react with different spins. On clay, topspin really "grabs" and so that's why modern clay court specialists all use extreme grips to give the ball more spin. As a side note, topspin gives players more margin for error because it allows the player to hit the ball higher over the net (less chance to hit the ball into the net) but at the same time it causes the ball to fall quicker (more chance the ball will fall before the baseline). Furthermore, since the ball loses momentum when it bounces (see previous two points), the rallies on clay are much longer and that is why players want to maximize the amount of time that they can stay in a point before committing an error by adding topspin. On grass however, spin has less effect than on other surfaces (because it slides instead of having a pure bounce), and that is why clay court specialists have such a hard time winning on grass: their game is ill-suited for its speed.



4. Players. Finally, because the style of play changes so much between the surfaces, different players are able to succeed on different surfaces. On clay, the long points require players who are able to hit with consistency and last during the long and grueling matches. Whereas on grass, the points often last no longer than the serve or the return (although, that is changing as there are fewer and fewer serve and volleyers on the pro tour).
