I used Genesis Hexonic 18L 1.09mm in a T-Fight 320 at 49#s. It opened up the stringbed and felt really good.

Great bite, pop, and tension maintenance.

Murray Fan, I am putting Black Magic in my 320 tonight at 50#s before I go out and hit and I will post my impressions. I would buy black code all day long if it was cheaper, so I am trying different 7-8$ soft polys to see how they work. I will now add Hexanoic to the list since I have never used those and they sound very good from doing a few searches.

And I know it is weird but I love the samurai paint job. It just looks killer from a distance. No one has ever noticed them before and said anything to me about it. They just say that the racquet colors are awesome.I actually like to look at them between points just because it keeps me focused. It beats staring at my strings all the time.

The Tfight I ordered comes with a free set of Black Code so I look forward to trying that. I too will post some impressions once this stick arrives. I think this racquet suits a softer poly. I will also have to try out some Lux Ace ( Favorite string ) as well

I hit with Black Magic at 50#s. It's nice..pretty crisp, massive spin. Pretty insane spin to be honest. I am not sure if I like it more then my Big Hitter Blue though..that is some magical stuff. We shall see, I logged 2 hours in tonight and the stick was right off the stringer, so I will give it more time.

I used to use the 320 vo2, just not for me though since I play an all court flat game. Serving and forehands were awesome with this stick though. My favorite setups were big banger alu rough, spinx, and black magic.

The vo2 is for heavy spin hitters. If you like to stay on the baseline and rip topspin shots this is pretty much your racquet. The radical is more for flat hitters.
Power - vo2
control - radical
stability - radical
spin - vo2

It's really up to you, the vo2 is more for spin and power but the rad is still decently powerful and has better control. And before any one rips on me about stability, I have played both in stock form and the vo2 has no stability at all. It was a flimsy piece of crap until I added lead at 3 and 9.

T1000, the Black Magic is a nice string. What tension did you have it at? Im guessing higher than me since you hit flatter.

FWIW, I haven't had any stability issues at all with the v02, but it may be due to us having different swingpaths.

I had it at 23/21 kgs (about 50/47 lbs) since that's what I usually string. BM isn't a spin heavy string imo and I thought it promoted flat hitting. I usually served and volleyed with it since it has amazing touch. And I had a topspin forehand when I played with the vo2, but I couldn't get the backhand down. I thought it had terrible stability and was pretty much unplayable for me. Everyone's different though

yeah..wow thats funny..the 320 makes my backhand way better, or I should say easier to execute under pressure. Crazy how that is different for people. Oh well, this is why people must demo.

Well if the BM isn't a heavy spin string, I can not wait to get the Big Hitter Rough back in there for a test drive, because the BM was hissing tonight. I think it is just the racquet. I have never had more spin with any stick.

Broke the strings on my 320 so I went with my 325. I don't think Ill sell it anytime soon. Maybe I will, but it was a fine backup.

If you have good form, you can hit a brutally heavy ball with this, even though it is a little less powered then the 320. I missed the extra spin of the 320 a little because the ball kicks out of the strike zone a little easier, but it still bit the court and gave me the nice sideways and forwards movement that want from my forehands.

Volleys were just as easy to finish. Just a little extra weight, but the 325 is the way to go if you want a tight pattern stick. It is better then a k95 IMO..just easier to crush shots with.

yeah,...talkin bout how its different for different people,...now for me,...i feel like the MG Radical is somewhat unstable against hard serves and hard shots,...i switched in 1 game from it to my TFight335 and that was like a rock(stable)!!!!!.....the stability diff between the 2 was huge!!!....but the 335 is quite a bit heavier,...and i had the Radical at stock,....,...i love that Radical for that control factor though,...both those 2 sticks are 2 of my best,...

I haven't played with the RDiS 100, but the 320 is very similar to the 200 (the specs are nearly spot on). I switched to the 200 for quite a while because of this similarity. The primary difference is that the Yonex feels a more solid and is flexier, so I had a bit more touch especially at net. In the end, I preferred the Yonex, but it's a matter of degree... and may change on a day to day basis. On the plus side, no ugly samurai graphics on the Yonex, on the downside the Yonex has a color scheme only someone from 1977 would love.
Does the Yonex have as much power as the 320? What made you prefer it, the feel?
