Smile POLL: what stick is Granville switching to?

Let's take a poll: What is Gran switching to:

1. Prince EXO Tour (pick your pattern)
2. Volkl C10 Pro
3. Yonex Vcore Series
4. POG OS
5. Donnay Pro One (pick your pattern)

My guess will be the Prince Exo Tour (18x20)... discuss

Started hitting again three weeks ago - twice this week - starting to feel good again. Still no heat on my serves - that will take a while.
Has given me time to re-evaluate everything, racquet weight, balance, string - everything. Have tested all the new sticks and I've now narrowed it down to just one or two - no more 6.1's for me (in the near future anyway.) I am amazed at how sensitive I am to just one or one and a half ounces - really an eye opener. As soon as the playtest team asks me, I'm back in mix. Happy to share all my testing - the racquet I am favoring is one I've never thought I'd play with.........
Again - thanks for thinking of me.

Gran, TW
glad to read you're on the mend. let this old player know what stick/strings you settle on and if you want to split a reel of Technifibre Multifeel.

He tipped us on the previous page that he was hitting something an ounce to an ounce and a half lighter. And I think that I did read that he was hitting the Prestige S. If not the Prestige S, my guess would be one of the following:

BioMax 200 (although not an ounce lighter)
Bio 300 Tour
F 3.0 Tour

Looks like we may never know.

According to the playtesters profile he is using a Head YOUTEK IG Prestige S with leather grip.
