If that happened to me I'd die happy ...

Thanks for the link.

People have already received racquets in the mail ;_;

The info they need is just to see your skill level and shipping address

I see that. I changed my posting. Thanks. I'm just leery of giving that info to some unknown company is all. Lots of fraud going on online any more.

The specs on the two versions are on their fb page you have to check the older posts though. I don't remember the whole spec but 98 has 11.1 oz 98t has 12oz with 16x18 pattern.
I also got an email today and I should be able to get it early next week

Same here I wish someone who did get one would do a review so I can live vicariously through them

[TennisTodd]

I got the 98T. Will post pictures and reviews over the week end..

Is it me...or did the Black Racquet thread vanish? :0

[moonballer1]

I started up a Black Racquet thread which seems to have mysteriously *poofed*...

[ucr_tennis90]

maybe it was deleted because of the mention of a competitor in the OP? oh well, i'll just make a new thread after i get mine and hit with it.

Hmm I never heard tw as one of their distributors for racquet shipment. It seems that these protos are shipped from TE MW sports and Hbird

I've heard people's prototypes are breaking apart...and the manufacturing quality isn't that great....

i've read one report on their facebook that the racket cracked near the handle and that another one came looking a little unfinished (grommet holes unclean, imperfections, etc.) but other than that nothing, so hopefully it's just a few isolated incidents. though these rackets are prototypes to they probably aren't up to the best quality yet.
