I need advice getting my Babolat Pure Control to feel like my Fischer Pro Extreme ... (sorry in advance if some of you saw my earlier post in stringing but I know that most of the traffic is here and I'm kinda under some time constraints) ...
My old setup on the Pro Extreme: weight was 13 ounces with lead tape added, pushing 80% of the added weight to the 9:00/3:00 positions on the head, the rest under the grip - strung with Power Play 18 @ 60 in the mains, Live Wire 16 @ 64 in the crosses ...
Right now, I hafta use a Babolat racquet ... I understand that the Pure Control is not the same stick as the Fischer - I've tried a bunch of stuff/mod's that aren't working. I've been on Racquet Research and reviewed the numbers to try to match balance/swingweight but no luck. At this point, I need some direction because the racquet head is coming out of my usual stroke extension WAY TOO EARLY!!!
Please advise me of your history in modding the racquet and any other stringing setups that worked/didn't work for you ...
For my preferences, I've always liked a deadened string bed feel with lotsa bite but where the racquet weight provides the power ( ...think ProStaff 6.0 with lead tape and Forten Thin Blend at 62+ ... I've never been able to go arm friendly and keep my feel).
I've toyed around with trying Poly- but I know I'll want to take the tension up to 65+ ...
ANY ADVICE IS APPRECIATED!!! (and, by the way, thanks to the posters who responded to my other posts!!!)
