New Bolt Rackets?

You just have to string it up tighter to shorten the ball release time. Then you'd feel the pop. Pretty cool to use poly without fear of injury, right!?

The Catapult is a thing-a-majig. String the Catapult up past 58 lbs and it's not moving. The Zipstrip is a full blown suspension system. Almost the entire string-bed gives and flexes with ball impact uniformly. Essentially everything is improved...more dwell time/better control, almost no vibration, impact shock is practically eliminated, effortless power. Get a demo and see for yourself.

This is NOT a paid testimony.

Yeah


Dead poly = not so appealing

Pretty cool image, I guess that means you tried a BOLT. What did you think?

I think BOLT needs to list the stiffness and SW of each racquet on their website. With the specs listed the way they are on the website, it looks like you are catering to a group of people that don't know or understand what kind of racquet they want or need.
