Who Is The Satchman?

About Me:

I'm Tom and go by the handle, "Satchman" or "4ever10is" on many online Tennis forums including Tennis.com, Tennis-Warehouse.com & Yahoo Answers Malaysia (tennis).

I'm a keen tennis enthusiast, having played the sport for more than 12 years. I follow the latest trends, players, tournaments & equipment, as frequently as I can and I'm constantly trying to find that holy grail of the perfect racquet, string, tension and play style, in order to improve myself to model the great Pete Sampras and lately, Novak Djokovic.


How I Got Started:

I remember the time when I first started tennis - in particular, the difficulty in selecting racquets for a particular play style and play level. Demo racquets and programs were almost non-existant where I was (and still is a major problem till today) and we were limited to what was on offer, what was imported and what the coaches were selling.

In fact, I got so frustrated because many sales-people only promoted a particular product to reduce stock or to promote a particular brand they carried. Many of these so-called sales-people didn't even play the sport!

So I decided to share my experiences on the online forums - by posting reviews, tips & recommendations on the sites mentioned above.


Sports E-tailer:



Soon, some people were asking if I sold the stuff that I reviewed and that's how I got started.

Thus, I began selling online - firstly on the local Malaysian auction site, Lelong.com and finally on the grandfather of all auction sites, EBay!

And I haven't looked back since!
