Two great pictures of three fine racquets. Love the black/white/grey color scheme.

I love your customization. I extended the handle of one of my Dunlops a few years ago, going from 27" to 27.5". I drilled some small holes around the handle for the epoxy to grip on to, poured epoxy into the handle, after having blocked the inside of the handle to prevent epoxy from flowing into the length of the handle. I had made a mold shaped to match the grip/handle of the racquet out of the paper from a milk carton. I actually poured in enough epoxy to extend the handle by one inch, but then cut off half an inch. It's amazing how it turned out and how differently the racquet feels/playsSome old Radicals customized with some lead and silicon to 320 grams,10pts HL.
PJ and semi PJ!
Works fine, plush and stable.

So I’m still playing with this racket, but I use Wilson’s champions choice strings instead of tour bite.
Here it is the yonex ezone 98 2018 limited edition with tour bite

Never had so many Wilson rackets. Missing is BLX 6.1 95 (339g, 18x20). Not sure about the stiffness and the arm-friendliness of the new ProStaff 97 – still 66RA, but I think this time I will demo it longer.

Those are the racquets I used in my last match. The Prestige is leaded up a bit, but the PCT is stock, afaik. Both felt great.
Really liked Babolat Pure Control both GT and Tour. Still have 3 of lighter ones. I regret selling Tour – 16x20, nice touch and nice power. Never managed to playtest Pure Control 95.

What overgrip is that?

That is just the overgrip that comes with the racket. I normally use tourna grip mega tac.

Wow. Those are my dream specs (except for the grip size) in a racquet, especially in that PJ. H22? Where'd you scoop these up?

a guy in FB sold them to me and I had them verified. Seller couldn’t have been a nicer guy and they showed up in nicer condition then described. Huge win haha

I’m going to hit them Wednesday. If they don’t work from me I’ll shoot you a message. I am really liking the extreme tour too

Sweet stick. I have two new aerogel 200's I bought on the bay sight last year I hit with on occasion and they are very nice frames. Different than the MW series, but still fun to use.

That'd be awesome! Has Fritz ever gone with Wilson? I've seen some of his junior footage at Eddie Herr and related tournaments and only ever saw him using Head.
Ultra good times!

they tried to lure him to Wilson with these but didn’t offer enough money from my understanding

Just like every other manufacturer creating test rackets to switch the players to own brand. Sometimes it works (Rublev, Collins), sometimes it does not (Fritz, and many others...)

then you always got dirt bags like me lurking to scoop up the scraps

Yep. By the way, Collins has been using that Babolat pretty openly for a while now (not even blacked out like at Hawaii in Jan). No Babolat stencil. If she is still under Head contract, I hope she pays hefty fines. Not a fan of her anyway. At least Rublev blacked out his Gravity (and that too for over a year) under his Wilson contract.

Hmm. These aren't far from YouTek Radicals prostock that Thomas Berdych. Have them new for sale – prefer 260.2 and 260.5 for feel and 16x19.
Does he really play so light frame? Unbelievable.

Anyway – content of my today's tennis bag.
Dunlop PT924 – feel-wise the best one for sure, however 231.1, 260.2 and Pro Tour 2.0 are also so good frames. IG Radical Pro and 260.2 I really love for feel, comfort and dense 16x19.
If PT2.0 would be lighter I could easily switch to it. Still think Wilson has the best paint jobs in recent years. Pure, minimal and stylish.

To me this protype paint looks more gorgeous than what is to be the actual paint I saw in leaked catalog. Now I need one! How did it play?it was in my hands for about 30 minutes. must do an extended demo!

I only used it in a couple ball feed drills and live ball drills on a demo night. pretty crowded so didn't get into a groove. I believe it is 10.6 but it felt like it hit through the ball pretty well. If I were to pick one up...I'll do my usual leather grip and then lead as needed to get weight in the hoop. I did appreciate the 8 mains in the throat.
Haven't seen any leaked pics of the radical. Part of me hopes I don't like the colors...lol

Really like 25th anniversary edition – a tiny bit stiffer response – but more powerfull.

I haven't tried yet but as far as I know the stiffer response comes from the black grommets (rather then the clear ones of the red frame). But beautiful frame indeed.

Two of three of my latest (and most expensive!) purchases. Blade Pro 18x20, TC95 v3 (290g, 4pt headlight), and an NOS Prostaff 95S (not pictured).
