Where did you get a 28" long Microgel radical from?

chrisplchs · 05-06-2008, 04:27 PM

the PT 57A is the mold from either the 280 or 630 if I remember correctly

Yeah, we don't know how you'd hit with them, or anything else about you for that matter, but we can def. help you out. They're horrible, sell them to us. Kidding.

If it is an actual radical (not a PT 630)--then no. The radical is actually too wide for the CAP grommet.

Get your facts straight, the i/FXP/LM/MG Radical MPs have all been CAP'd before and there are plenty of pictures to prove it here on TTW.

I wasn't able to make a CAP grommet fit the MG Radical. But then maybe I'm just not as skilled as everyone else...Besides, I don't patrol the boards to the extent you do

Why don't you show us some of these CAP'd MG Radical pics?

If you want pictures, I would suggest asking Chris in Japan. He CAP'ed his wife's MicroGel Radical Midplus and even took pictures of it for his thread. Enjoy yourself.

Excuse my naivete, but why would you want full cap grommets on a racquet? I've seen the MG Prestige and MG Radical and I would prefer the latter. Is there a playability issue? thx for enlightening me.

gkamieneski · 09-30-2008, 07:45 AM

...still wondering. What are the advantages to full cap grommets over the style of grommets used in say the MG Radical Pro?

AlpineCadet · 09-30-2008, 12:06 PM

It's not rocket science. CAP grommets are heavier than standard Radical grommets, so they offer more stability/power and increased frame stiffness.

The CAPs increase frame stiffness? What are you smoking?

I guess you haven't hit with a PT630 with CAP grommets.

FYI, I used your "brand new" frame with and without CAP grommets (with identical strings/tension) and the wet-noodle feel was exaggerated/pronounced when I removed the CAPs.

P.S. I've also de-CAPed my i.Prestige frame recently, and it plays much more flexible/less stiff.

westphi · 10-02-2008, 03:51 PM

Maybe it swings different, but it doesn't change the stiffness of the frame.

Why are you on two different user IDs? Does TW know about this?
