DR98+ doesn't have much in the hoop area in terms of mass so that may be the difference you're feeling. The Angell won't be much different to the gravity pro I would think, although the GP is rounder in head shape. I'd just try the 97.

It is still (kinda) holiday season in the UK, that is probably why the late response.
hey do you have experience with Pure Strike or Pro Staff? How do these racquets feel compare to those ones? I assume it doesn't have much power at all?Angell V3 97 18x20 320 grams 310mm/10 pts HL
I can do what I want with these rackets. Hit as hard as I want while maintaining control. IMO just slightly different than the V2. I feel a little more stability, just a little less vibration but retaining feel and touch.

Didn't know Angell racquets have replaceable pallets?
I own a TC97 18x20 310g 9pts head light, but can only speak for the difference between this and a pure strike as I used to use a 3rd gen pure strike. For me the TC97 wins in almost every single category besides power. Better control, feel, comfort, stability, touch, serving, etc. The Pure Strike 3rd gen is like a boom stick, the power I can generate with that racquet is crazy but really hard to handle. As someone who generates lots of power naturally and has a sensitive elbow, the TC97 is just better for me across the board. You may be different though.
I play the 18x20 and don't think it is underpowered at all. I've hit my biggest serves with it.
It's very easy - if you can use a stapler you can do it in a few mins.
Thanks! Set aside power, it should be a relatively smooth transition to the TC97 from a Pure Strike?
I would say that if you go with the Angell 16x19 and (for now) keep your same string and tension then the transition would indeed be pretty easy.
How is a 95 bigger than a 97?
for a 95, the TC95 seems larger than other 95 si racquets. It might be that Angell measures differently (inside hoop vs outside hoop)
Yup my TC95 seemed to be longer in throat area than my TC97 and RF/PS97's with same width.
the TC95 and TC97 grommets are interchangeable too (for the same string pattern of course)

would you say that the Diadem Impulse is a "powerful" multifilament or low/medium powered?
IIRC it helped tame the power of the TC100 so I would say it is a low/medium string. I've tried Impulse also in a vCore 97 HG full bed and that was a low powered racquet. In there it felt like it provided good feedback. I let it sit for a while because of playing with other racquets. When I came back to it after a long time it felt launchy. So just take that w a grain of salt as it prob lost enough tension to be a different animal from when fresh. Gravity MP used it with Ghostwire crosses. This reminded me of gut/poly and was really happy with it.
reminded you in terms of FEEL but not POWER though right?
IIRC it had decent power in that combo but I also didn't get the racquet set up with lead as I would have liked. There wasn't as much bite as a shaped poly so the ball landed further IMO in the court. No lack of spin. What I took away from it was the feel was a good alternative to gut/poly if on a budget or playing in wet conditions. I hope I'm helping and not confusing you. YMMV
very helpful with maybe a tad bit of confusion. Not so concerned about spin or price just the power. It doesnt help that this was so long ago but i am grateful for any answers, regardless. Is there another multi maybe you coupd compare it to just in terms of power? Again i am very grateful for this information.
yeah...i was/am worried i'm confusing you.
So in otherwords, powerful

I think you should stop listening to me. I’m confusing even myself. LolSo in otherwords, powerful
As the MG Radical MP grommet also fits the PT630/2.0, so it is actually a 95, instead of the advertised 98. So it should be very close to the TC95.
Ah ok. He apparently used the tool on the first string job and it damaged the thick gut, resulting the string snapping at that point. He took a pic and showed me how little space there was to work with (almost none!) once he strung up the 15L gut., even with 1.2mm string. I guess it's a 'quirk' of the TC100 string pattern.Yes this is a problem with the blocked holes until you find your way, there are many different ways. My solution was to get this tool, works really well and also no problem using an awl with gut.

There are many different ways, I tried a lot of them but the Pathfinder Awl is by far the best IMO
Another option is to leave a piece of string in place, and remove it for the second last cross when the time comes.
Thanks for that, but I'll leave that to him since I'm paying him for his expertise. I was just checking if anyone else had that problem. Seems like a slight flaw in string grommet design if someone wants to use thicker strings (15L or thicker). I've looked at it, there was NOT enough space for a 3rd string without it sticking out, and the cross does stick out now.
