I’m playing a doubles match Tuesday night and scheduled a singles match for wednesday so hope weather cooperates a bit. I am planning on playing both with BK in my TC95
It is still an open pattern but certainly more control as it’s not as powerful of a frame. Decent power but not Thor’s hammer
I really liked square-x @50lbs. Of course, i added a leather grip, 7g @7” from butt cap and 3g @12. That was the setup i liked the most on K7
You switched from the 16x19 to the 18x20 in the 95, correct? How do they each compare to the PSTGT & each other? I remember you saying you really enjoyed the 8 mains in the throat for the extra control but not much else.
lol..some people get so demanding
I actually have TC95 in both patterns and of course i have PSTGTs. PSTGT is pretty much perfect for an aggressive baseliner but i think the TC95 shines at an all around game. I think the 16x19 or 16x20 with 8 mains in the throat is the perfect compromise in patterns. The TC95 18x20 forces you to really exaggerate your strokes on low balls and be extra diligent with your knees and overall rewarded with a high plateau of precision. TC95 16x19 has no problem at all with low shots, allows you to cheat a bit from the extra power and I can hit at 85% heavy shots that bother people and force errors.

Keep in mind that K7 while not as powerful as TC100, it does have an open pattern! However it is very neutral on launch angle and has more control.Thanks a lot!
But you know...not always need a Thor Hammer
Some control and accuracy are always welcome too for our game!
And I always feel “too much” power with TC100...even with 23/24 kgs of tension.
I now seek for something more controllable and perhaps not so open pattern(like Wilson Ultra Tour)

those seems like your original ordered specs @recsoares not the "current" specs, I sent you a pm on how to, you can reply my message after weighing your racket and measuring you balance.Hi!
310grs,315mm,9hl,63RA!
I use Babolat Vibrakill dampener(the frame vibrates A LOT!)
Thanks a lot,mate

My grommets even broke with round strings. Might just have been a bad batch though. Shaped strings ate trough my grommets straight away (ultra cable)
Every time the grommets have been cut when I had my Angells strung with shaped strings. I also wonder the Angell grommets are so fragile. What are the advantages of softer grommets?
I have used shaped poly many times without a problem and in fact using shaped poly right now
What gauge of the Focus Hex do you use? I tried the 1.10mm version several times in vain.No issues with most of shaped polys - HyperG, Focus HEX, etc., however, Ultra Cable cut my grommets instantly.
my suggestion is to keep the tensions on both relatively close, 44 with Poly Tour spin will be better considering Angell rackets have higher launch angle specially comparing to Yonex DR98
They arrive tomorrow!
Going to get them strung up with my last set of Volkl Cyclone 16 yellow @ 48 & the other with my last set of Yonex Poly Tour Spin G @ 44 (maybe even 42, as I didn’t enjoy the string @ 46 in my DR 98)
sounds good @Sintherius message me if you need help.
Strange that tension range printed on the racquet is way higher...50-65Ibs
Bad idea imho. The TC95 requires a bit of time to get used to. Quite a lot of us here have given up on the frame a couple times during the process. But once you get used to the TC95 there is simply no way back. There is no stick out there like the TC95.
I am afraid it might influence how you think about the frame. If say you dont gel with it and lose your match and dont feel well and confident you might be prejudiced about a wonderfull stick.It isn’t a bad idea if I’m not worried about being able to win
Honestly though, in high school I bought a BLX Six.One 90 and played it in a tournament (vs a good friend of mine round 1 ironically) and was able to easily adapt, switching from the Microgel Radical MP at the time.
While I realize they’re all very different racquets, I’m confident enough in my technique & movement on the court to where I don’t think it’s a bad idea, but I guess we’ll see

I agree with Jouke.I am afraid it might influence how you think about the frame. If say you dont gel with it and lose your match and dont feel well and confident you might be prejudiced about a wonderfull stick.
See the TC95 as new romance, don't rush it. Treat her well. Take her out on a couple of dates. Stay open minded. Enjoy. If it works for both you will get treated very well in the end
