I do love me a good 16/20 pattern. Those new VCores do look interesting but that 89 might be too demanding. We'll see. Needs to be perfect stock because the Prestige MP was an educational experience: 11.9 stock but needed some lead in the hoop, but at that point when I added lead the the scales were tipped too far for me.
By the way, these new Mantis frames. Have to admit I'm vaguely intrigued by the Tour 315. 95in, thin beam, tight pattern, nice paintjob, and at 11.6 stock a few grams at 12 would bring it up to near 12 oz with a great swingweight in the 320s. Some of their other frames look like decent lead platforms, too, but if it's TOO much of a platform and I have to transform the racket then I end up going crazy.
Meanwhile, I feel like the only racaholic who hasn't been able to make the VCore frames work for me. It's beginning to feel like a lonely place. VCores are all the rage suddenly, a year (?) after they came out.
PP didnt buy into them either.
