I guess the real solution for us is to miss hit less hahaha I am not sure why yours does not feel the same the only explanation is that u have 280 and not 630 lots of people think it'd the same racquet but 280 is stiffer and slightly harsher on anything but sweet spot.

FYI I have 8 of pt630 and they all feel the same

i somewhat agree with this in that i think the type of string and the tension you have the dunlops strung at makes a HUGE difference with how it plays, also the grip bothers me as well because it is as short as my aero pro drive grip, but the dunlop racquet kind of pinches/rubs my knuckle on my backhand in such a way that becomes very painful after 30 min or so of playing.....i probably sound like a pansy saying that, but its hard to explain....i guess its because its nto as powerful a racquet and i had to swing much harder and a little more reckless with it....i dunno

I enjoy customizing my frames so that 295 gram one really caught my attention. Do you know if you can you put silicone in those sensor handles?

That could very well be the issue as well! I never knew that there was a noticeable difference between the two. Thank you for the info!

Are you sure this is in reference to the Austrian made PT280s? Frankly, I wasn't able to tell a discernible difference between the MIA PT280s and the non-Trek font PT630s when capped.

Not sure, can check to see if I have one handy. If not, and I'm sure you know this, can just lead-up under the grip (which actually affords you a bit more precision). Great feel though...

best for you volkl PB 10 325 ... about same grip shape, nice flex... sema string pattern.... 75 bucks!!!

[danotje]

Gotta chime in with something off the beaten path--PK 5/7G. $119 brand new, and I recently picked up a brand new "used" 7 for $40. Great racquets with both spin and control due to the 16x20 string pattern.

Yes, the pb10 325 is a great racquet - but are you getting them new at that price (no need to reveal source if so, out of respect for TW)??? My only issue with Volkl is my apparent inability to generate as heavy a ball as with the PT (at least in terms of the c10/pb10s that I've tried).

So unfortunately I wasn't able to find anything with a sensor grip - I'm sure others can chime in if I'm incorrect - but from what i recall, I don't believe it's silicon friendly in the handle.

I think TW is the one offering this racket at that price.

Thanks, for some reasoning I thought it was the mid for $75!

That is a serious deal though, only 1 left it stock too....

I used lead tape on my YT Rad Pros but silicone is so much sexier!

If it were the mid I would buy 6-8 of them on reputation alone. I haven't tried it yet but I keep hearing from players it's the Holy Grail or racquets.

Organix 10 Mid just came up for pre-order.

And just to keep it on topic: Prince Tour Diablo Mid is a heck of a stick for $99.

They are different. A capped 630 has the weight and balance of a uncapped 280.

Trek and non-Trek 630 feels the same in my opinion (i have both of them).

How do you all compare this with the Dunlop 4D 200?

[TennisCJC]

You cannot put anything inside the handle of a Volkl O10 or PB model. They have stuff in there to reduce vibration in the handle. I weight the handle by removing all grips and apply lead tape to the pallet. The O10 295 is a great customization platform - mine is 12.1 oz, 6 HL and 335 SW. I imagine the PB10 295 would be good as a platform racket too but have not tried it. O10 is 16x19 and PB10 is 18x20.
