Yeah, I've played w/ the M Pro No 1, the Black Granite Pro No 1, and all 3 versions of the X Force Pro, and I agree that the FT is the best of them. I know many felt the whole 'frequency tuning' was a gimmick, but there really is something to it as far as the dampening effect. And while I agree on the sweet spot comment, I've also noticed that off-center hits don't feel so 'off-center', as compared to others, again, likely due to the FT. The spin seems the same as all the others (same frame, same pattern), but there's definitely an increase in power, most likely due to the extended length. The big thing is the stability. I'm 'swinging away' against some heavy hitters, and the frame is just plowing through their shots, allowing me to stay up near the baseline. And at 5' 9", the extra length most definitely helps on the serve.
My only complaint would be at the net. Its solid, but sluggish. I can handle my volleys in singles, but in doubles, when I have to react quickly, I'm almost always late. So, loathe as I am to admit it, I've come around to playing 2 different frames for singles & doubles: Pro NO 1 FT for singles, and the Pro Classic Retro for doubles. The Retro is just so quick at the net. I lose the power of the FT, but in doubles, that doesn't seem to be as big an issue.
On a side note, the ones I have a 325g, not 305g. But I swapped out the pallets for the new Pacific PGS pallets, which lightened them up a bit, and I'm now at 320g (my ideal weight).
