[nickynu]

ANYBODY GOT A TFIGHT 320 Vo2 mAX IN GRIP 1/4 i COULD PURCHASE PLEASE

nickynu @ hotmail dot co dot uk

Let me know ... It must be this model and grip tho please

[ebrainsoft]

Aggro, where did you get this 325, I thought it was suppose to be "Next" instead of "VO2" technology/marketing.

[Power Player]

Before I settle into my 300tour, I wanted to possibly give the 325 a ride. How is the power level? I read here that it is less then the Prestige? It is so much stiffer though..is that really true?

[klementine79]

^ That is quite odd... the stiffness of the 325 is 68... the prestige 63.. and they're both in the same static and swing weight category.

I would assume that quote was given by someone who had a high string tension on his/her 325.

I tell 'ya what though.... those new paint-jobs make me want to buy a couple just for the aesthetics.

Kind of like thanksgiving night... you're not hungry at all... but that stuffing and mashed potatoes are calling your name.

[Power Player]

Yeah I just wanted to see how the power and feel was compared to my 300t. I'd string it under 50#s too..personally. I saw a pro play with Red Code in one and he had it at 55#s, so I figure that 45-48#s would be about right with full poly.

That would be me. When I said Prestige, it was the Microgel Prestige Mid. THough i'm pretty sure its fairly close to the Youtek line.

Had it strung now with a full bed of Biphase 17 at 62lbs. Too much power now. Waiting to try full poly's at low tensions now.

[Power Player]

I thought this stick compared more to a k61 though right? Isn't it pretty powerful with good control?

62lbs and too much power? Thats interesting!! Do you hit flat?

[Power Player]

And if anyone wants to trade a 325 v02 max for a Dunlop 4d 200, I still have 2 in 3/8ths grip. Just throwing that out there.

No I actually hit a lot of spin. What I notice is that I don't get enough spin with the X1 and sometimes shots would sail long. Especially when I'm chasing shots in front of me. Maybe it's just wrong form.

I'd prefer when I "go" for shots that it doesn't saill long. With the X1 I had to hold back on some shots.

K61 is not a perfect comparison. i've demo'd a BLX 95 and you can get a heavy ball from it every time. I notice that I need to supply my own power with the 325 rather than just let the racquet do it's work.

[Power Player]

Intersting. It is just pretty stiff so I thought it may have some pop. I am wondering if the new 305 is a better option.

[GoSurfBoy]

Just picked up 2 new 320 XL's. New versions are far too stiff. Going to see what these are like.

Suggestions on stringing? I need no power, just dwell time and control. Have some TF string laying around, and I usually do a hybrid.

Also have this Pro Supex Big Ace Matrix I thought I might throw in there, but open to suggestions.

Gracias...

Is this the new paint job coming out ?

Hey there, I was hoping you (or anyone!) might be able to tell me where you can get the T FIght with the new painjob pictured (above) ?

[Power Player]

I'd love to hear Aggro's thoughts on his 325.

I hit with a 320 v02 max tonight. It has been over a year, and I simply love this racquet so much. It is a lot lighter and more powerful then my Dunlops. After hurting my wrist, I have been looking for lighter sticks by Dunlop and Tfibre, and I could see myself coming back to the 320 again. I had so much more energy left when I was finished compared to the Dunlops.

I stopped with the 320 due to wanting a heavier stick, but after a year of that, plus riding bikes and killing my wrist, I have come full circle. I really appreciate the 320. It swing so easily, and is so easy to control, yet hits so hard. Also my game has developed a lot over this time, and my consistency is far better. I find it easier to control the power of this racquet now. I can simply use less energy to play then before.

I play a pretty modern style of tennis, and it can be tough with real low powered racquets. It just takes it's toll on you when you have to swing out of your shoes all the time. So this was such a welcome change for me.

There is also a 325 coming my way soon, so I am going to compare them and see how it goes. But the Tfights were my first sticks when I returned to tennis and it looks like I made a good choice..probably should have just stuck with it..lol.

[Power Player]

I got a 325 today. So I will be able to compare it to the 320 and pick my favorite. It may be tough to top the 320 to be honest, but we shall see.

Looking forward to your comparisons. Might you compare these ones with the TF335 as well?

I have all 3 and can compare.

First, the TF335 is an entirely different stick than the VO2s. The 335 is a classic player frame with great feel and control and low power. Closest to the Volkl 10's / POG / Head Prestige / Dunlop 200 lines in terms of what to expect. It's a great racquet, but not "modern." If you serve and volley or play lots of doubles it might be ideal. I like it for singles too, but generating my own power is not my problem, but I could see getting tired after a few hours of this one. Note: I have the 16x20 version.

The 320 is a great racquet and was my primary stick for a year. I would sum it up as "a tweener version of a player's racquet." It plays less stiff than its rating indicates, with plenty of power and access to spin. Very solid feel and great for all aspects of the game. Good serves, fairly easy access to power without elbow-destroying stiffness. Except for the graphics, there's nothing I don't like about the stick. If you like the Yonex or the Wilson 6.1 95s, this racquet is in your wheelhouse.

The 325 is very similar to the 320 with the benefit of better control. The differences are slight, however, so were discussing the margins. Both provide plenty of power and spin - for me it's more of a preference over which suits your game better. If you need a touch more control or hit flatter, go for the 325, if you go for more spin or need a touch lighter racquet, go for the 320. If I were to go back to the Tecnifibres, given my current game, I would have a hard time deciding between the two.

[Razda]

Interesting.

I have played with the 320 VO2s for about 1 year and a half and it was my primary stick. Then came along the BLX 95 and I fell in love with it b/c of its stability and heavier ball. Though I feel the 95 is great for me, like Power Player, I am having thoughts of coming back to Tecnifibre. Either getting back to the 320s or trying out the new 325s. The dense string pattern of 18x19 though raises a thought. Would that mean its not a spinny stick like the 320?

[monomakh]

Yes, but it is minimal. The 18x19 is only slightly less spinny than the 16x19. Stringbed is slightly more open than a 95in 18x20 and a bit tighter in the center than the 16x19.

I would say that the 18x19 plays more the TF335/Bab Pure Storm 16x20s in terms of spin than a 18x20 (i.e. 6.1 18x20, Dunlop 200 or 300, etc), but again, the difference is slight.

[Power Player]

Monomakh, you have really dropped some great knowledge throughout this long thread. Glad you chimed in because I pretty much agree with everything you are saying. The K95 is simply a heavy stick compared to the 320 v02, and my wrist prefers the lighter ones.

The 320 in stock form is perfect for me. Weight and balance is great. I prefer the grip shape to the Dunlop. I find my grips a lot easier and it seems smaller in my hand.

I also did not notice a much higher trajectory with this open pattern, which I was fearing. Instead the spin usually kept my ball between the lines. I could also hit the sharp angles that I hit with my dunlop. At the end of the day, I had way more energy after hitting with the 320 then I have after my 300 Tours.

Unfortunately, I am not hitting with the 325 yet. I thought I was earlier. It is not a big deal, because I would prefer the lighter weight stick.

I am going to try a hybrid of poly mains, sgut crosses at at 52/55. Does this last in the 320 for a little bit? I'd love to get 8-10 hours out of it if possible. I broke the multis in under 2, but they were not brand new. I hit between western and SW with heavy spin.

Gee, the 335 is a different beast. Less power and more headlight. Also the swingweight is lower. I believe the 320 to be easier to play with. It is meant for a modern game and the 335 is more classic. I play a more physical modern game and the classic sticks just sap my energy after a while. The beauty of the 320 is that it is light, but you can play at a very level with it in stock form. It is very stable and hits a heavy ball. So you will have that extra split second of setup that you will lose with the K95 or the 335. The 335 requires you to be ready a lot earlier, which is quite tough in a modern game where the ball is zipping around a lot faster then it was 10 years ago.
