Love to know if you got around to trying the Phantom 93? Have a comparison to your EXO3?
Thanks!
I did go ahead and buy the 93p. Here is my review I did in the big 93p thread:
So my 93p came in on Thursday afternoon and I strung it with 17g toubite mains and origin cross at 52. Played two singles matches Friday and two doubles matches today. I was previously playing both an exo3 graphite 93 with string grommets and a youtek radical mp. I’m gonna compare the 93p to the exo3 because I have been playing with it for so long and only recently have been hitting the radical.
Ground Strokes- like others have noted I did not struggle to find spin with the 93p only adjustment was launch angle. I seriously was spinning crazy balls at all angles which surpassed my hitting with the exo3. The exo3 for me was excellent at spin but sometimes the angle I wanted to hit didn’t have the control I wanted. Also to note was I had a lot of power with this racquet compared to the exo3. For me the put away power was there and I unleashed it upon my opponents with school girl glee.
Serves- I served bombs with this racquet but I never struggle with serving. The 93p did give me excellent control of slice serves and it was so easy to generate. With the exo3 I always had to exaggerate my swing motion to get slice.With the 93p it felt effortless.
Return of serve- same for me with both racquets. Never felt that I didn’t have enough to keep it deep or get pushed around.
Volleys- it’s weird. I felt more connected with the 93p when volleying but didn’t feel that the 93p topped the outcome compared to the exo 3. Just that with the 93p the way it felt I wanted to volley more than usual.
So far I really love the 93p. It’s sweetspot is generous and I actually do very well with it hitting on the run. I’m attributing that to the headlightness.
