Regna may have the denser pattern in the middle whereas the VCores are all a little more open. The number of main strings through the throat grommet piece can sometimes give you an idea about spin and launch angle. VCore are all 6 mains, whereas some 16x19s and all 18x20s are 8.
I've got my Regnas at 335g, 32cm balance, and the SW1 says a swing weight of about 329/330. I like that setup a lot.
I knew I recognized that avatar. Obscure amd young David Gahan of Depeche Mode. 1980
Except the current Dunlop CX200 Tour. It's an 18x20 with 6 mains in the throat.

I haven’t played the 360+ version, but I’ve hit the the touch tour a few times. It’s a pretty nice feeling frame and an underrated offering in my experience. My doubles partner hits with it and of course he’s needed to try to PP, UT and UP at times so I’ve tried his out. It needs a little hoop weight from stock, but it’s like the UT - great to customize.
I demoed it a while back but it had very dead RPM Blast in it, so that ruined the complete demo for me. But I think it could be a fantastic stick, maybe not so much to do with a real Prestige, but very interesting stock specs ready for customization.
You were probably distracted when you tried. It will come easy once you get started
Yes, Graphene XT and Touch versions are great. 360+ version dampened the feel too much for me to the point where it was numb and I couldn’t feel the ball.
i think that’s the part where you are leveling the machine. just unclip the spring like he describes…. youre basically using the rod mass to make adjusting the leveling feet easy. you adjust back up to level (rod won’t fall back) then adjust right to left by putting the rod in the center. recheck back to front and done. 2 min of level adjustment then you reclip the spring and you’re ready to calibrate. it’s automatic once you’ve done it once or twice.
Agree with everything here. Wanted to like the 360+ but it was not good. Very vague.
Excellent choice.
Does the new yonex bag still carry upside down as a backpack? I have the 2019ish version and that bugs me
I salute your dedication and commitment to being a hardcore PK guy.
Further shenanigans. These acquired from hitting partner. Two old Black Ace 98s in light and heavy spec, and the older Espresso I’ve had so much fun with any time I’ve tried it, even with that NXT - it’s a non-dense 18x20 Lorenzo apparently sold only to Europeans.
Maybe. But also maybe not.
So I literally just dreamed an option and you’re telling me it’s true?!? Is the inside still a bright color so it’s easy to find things? What is clima guard?
I’m unsure why there aren’t more offerings like this.
Because of the last trend from the 2015 era of super open patterns. But that ship has sailed and sunk. But this new breed of 6’6 bohemouths using closed patterns will change that. And it’s the only racquet spec that hasn’t been adopted by every manufacturer yet. That will change starting now.
Forgot about that, didn’t it go even farther back? I tried a spin effect from Wilson on time and never considered it again. I feel like that was 10 years ago..but maybe not
I didn’t find them launchy at all @49 with BK, which I credit fully to the way BK plays in the 16x20’s. I’m sure was all in my head, but I also used to think the string bed played slightly more firm when I one piece string, which I did here for the first time. We’ll see how it goes as I groove a little more the next few days.
Love the car analogy.
Would you mind posting a pic of the strung frame? I'm curious how the string pattern is dispersed and if it's more along the lines of the EZone or VCore.
Thanks for that. The spacing definitely seems more like the dispersion of the VCore line than the Ezone. And I definitely found the VCore to have a more easily accessible higher launch angle than the EZone.
