True. I could go that route.Natural choice is vcore pro 310
Bab Pure Storm
I just picked up 3 of these NOS and love them. Also got 3 Head YouTek IG Prestiges and am having a retro renaissance with these "old" "new" frames. They give up nothing to the new sticks IMO.Great stick - Tour as well

Yep. Nice frame, especially the extended one. However, not a traditional design in the leastIf I were a young man, I would have stocked up on Duel G 330's. I hit with it, but it was a little too heavy for me. However, I really like the Pro Kennex KiQ+5 Pro (310). I added 5 grams to the hoop, 2.5 grams at 3 & 9, and an overgrip. I use a #64 Rubberband instead of a dampener. It's a little lighter and more forgiving than a Duel G 330 and the PK is easy on the arm.
ProKennex makes a couple of very nice 16x20s.I am looking to go back to a 16 x 20 pattern. I used to play the Yonex Duel G (330) but now looking for something lighter (to help with rhs on serve) and with a more classic head shape too. I am open to suggestions.
I would agree with all of this but I’ll say in my experience it’s not a very forgiving racquet.Pure Strike VS I’d say. Light, traditional head shape, but lively enough at the lighter weight. You can add a bit of weight without making it hefty. Hits big sliders and kickers.
Many other frames mentioned here don’t really have traditional shapes.
how do they compare ?Diadem Elevate or VCORE 95 I just grabbed the Elevate and will be grabbing the VCORE 95 Mon/Tues
I haven’t got the chance to hit with the Elevate. I’m going to play for an hour and a half later and will post later tonight. Unfortunately my local shop hasn’t got my VCORE 95 in yet, but will also post my thoughts. The Diadem from shadow swinging feels awesome.how do they compare ?
Really enjoyed the setup I have on there it's very soft which I love. I am using the racquet stock with a hybrid setup 50/52 of Diadem Solstice Power x Technifibre X1-BiPhase. Racquet is very maneuverable, has great power for 16 x 20 and served pretty well with it. I haven't played with it enough to give a great review, but from initial play I like it a lot.I haven’t got the chance to hit with the Elevate.

VCore 95 ... or babolat pure strike vs
Fischer vacuum Pro 90!
How are you finding the Diadem Elevate? Is it the Tour version?Diadem Elevate or VCORE 95 I just grabbed the Elevate and will be grabbing the VCORE 95 Mon/Tues. Feel free to shoot a PM about the Elevate, will get an initial review on it tomorrow after I string it.
Agreed. Think I have like 6 pure storm gt and a couple of pure storm team gt still.+1 for Pure Storms and prior gen Pure Controls - latter if you like a more crisper hit. You can find Pure Storms new old stock or gently used very easily. Might have a harder time with PC Swirlys. No issue in finding grommets for either (same mold so all Pure Control grommets fit). Absolutely love them. The GT version Storms are especially amazing and can run circles around current Babs. My $0.02
If you were playing the pure storm tour, the vcp97 330 might be better than the 310 version.I was a pure storm tour user since I started and recently switched to vcore pro 310 since my storms had a crack in the frames.
It’s not the same but it’s good enough with some lead at 12 and weight in the handle
