SERVIS tekong kidal mempunyai kelebihan dan keunikan yang mampu memecahkan rentak permainan lawan sehingga memimpin regunya mendapatkan kemenangan lebih mudah dan lebih cepat. Sekalipun terpaksa menambah beban tugas apit kiri atau pengumpan yang sepatutnya merencana corak dan strategi permainan kerana perlu melontar bola, sumbangan tekong kidal sering kali membawa hasil yang berbaloi dan menguntungkan. Kehandalan 'tekong jawi' (gelaran oleh sesetengah penggiat sepak takraw) turut akan membantu 'menjimatkan' kudrat dan keringat perejam di posisi apit kanan yang tidak perlu lagi terbang di depan jaring untuk melibas atau mengadang serangan lawan.

Malek, “biarlah kami hadapi satu persatu lawan dan fokus kami sekarang ialah Kuala Lumpur Thunder, Ahad ini. “Perkukuhkan tempat kedua ini terlebih dahulu dan bila jumpa Turtles balik (2 Disember), kami akan cuba (merampas teraju liga),” katanya selepas regu Mohamad Fazil Asri, Kamal...
