I didn't recall you mentioning any stability issues. That's why it caught me off guard when I read it.
Funny, I've got a similar box on the way with Strike 100, Ezone 100, and VCore Pro 100 likely jostling it out in the box prior to arrival. Have played with YYs off and on (enjoyed the DR 98 and then the Xi98 for quite a while a few years back; I believe the Xi was a PP fav) and liking what I've been hearing hear about the new Ezone, as well as the VCP 100 on other forums. A friend has that one and really likes it; I was impressed with the comfort and controllable power I had when I took a few hits with it during one of our matches, so added it to the demo box. Look forward to hearing your experiences and comparisons as well.
Haha isn't it!! Awesome @gutfeeling
Has the not-so-hidden "magic" of 8 throat mains in a 16x19 bed that is appealing, at least to me. Will be a fun demo.
the red goes on top, the yellow in the middle and the green at the bottom - traffic light fashion.Lol - was going to restring and tinker with the tweener this evening (all these 100sqinch talks lately...), but the youngest decided to have a massive/long tantrum just before the bed time... so that didn’t happen.
anyway, these on the table and thought that is a pretty iconic stylefor these racquets...
I will try again tomorrow......
Lol. Yeah good point. Didn’t think of that. The yellow one was on the top cos that was the tweener I was going to work on this evening...the red goes on top, the yellow in the middle and the green at the bottom - traffic light fashion.
Head Gravity gets its first update next year. Only a PJ change for all line variations, everything else (mold/layup) remains same (MP/MP Lite/S/Tour/Pro).
GPro feel is very good indeed.
The gripsize makes that big a difference for you? I can usually play with L2, L3 or L4.
Cool! Totally new paint scheme or will it be the same style of a different color on each side? Thx
So how does the Pure Strike compare with the Pure Aero for you now?
Haha, you mean the Lime side plays just a tad crisper with a bit more pop?
If you don't like the current one, the new one won't rock your boat either. Coral and teal on each side is swapped with blue and lime. I don't foresee anyone loving one PJ and hating the other. See pics I shared above.
Yes. The fuller grip gives me much more confidence. Precision.
Turning a new leaf?
And just when you had finally decided on 19 PA over the 2013 APD, here comes Pure Strike with all its allure. Sucks being a holic doesn't it?
I live on the Front Range here in CO and you get used to the higher altitude pretty quickly (I moved from CA about 8 years ago) to the point that you don't even think about it fairly soon, especially if you're in decent shape. The high altitude balls definitely help to compensate for everything so I don't hear folks having to add a lot more topspin to accommodate. I hit fairly flat, though will intentionally use more topspin than normal on occasion, and never felt I needed to change my style once moving here. The relative lack of humidity is sublime and the number of sunny, playable days, even in winter, is crazy. Also a very active tennis scene here. Read in one of the CO USTA magazine issues a year or so ago that CO had the fastest growth in the US in terms of leagues; go figure. I respect and admire those who can play in regions with high humidity (I grew up in FL on central Atlantic coast and then VA) or with a high propensity for wet conditions (tip o the hat to those of you in the PNW), and there are lots of great areas in the US (let alone across the pond) in which to live and play, but one could do worse than my fair state. Loads of unabashed bias, of course.
I ran into a similar thing on my last outing! Found a semi-local store to let me demo some frames, and grabbed an Ezone 100 (strung with sgut), blade V7 18x20 (1619 demo oos), pure aero 2019, and pure strike 3rd gen 18x20 (1619 demo oos) - so basically a variant of every frame left I have any interest in.And just when you had finally decided on 19 PA over the 2013 APD, here comes Pure Strike with all its allure.

Very interesting about your last outing with the racquets. Nice. I thought you'd be clicking more with PA 2019 for some reason but yeah all of these were good probables
.
48 is usually my go-to so that’s what I’d suggest.
I feel like Yonex is what Babolat was doing a decade ago.. most juniors and up and comers are wielding Yonex frames nowadays.. I know someone who was telling me his kid wants the "red yonex" which Shapo uses.. also helps that Yonex makes awesome quality racquets too just check out their QC.. simply insane!
Have you played with the previous TT100 by any chance?? Wondering if the Textreme feel is the same or if they updated..
Ok thnx.. was wondering which one to pull trigger on myself after raving reviews of Iga.. 290 I can add weight later but if they both have different layups it might change a few things..
