Has anyone had the chance to try both of these rackets? Please compare and contrast if so...

To me, Pro One is real winner between two.
Bump. Any other comments? Mostly curious regarding power and stability between the two.
I have been trying both of these and it's incredible how similar they are. Both of mine are around 330 grams static weight and the same for swingweight. If you close your eyes and hit each one, it's hard to tell the difference except for the grip shape...the Dunlop is more like a Wilson and the Donnay is rounder with little flare on the end, like a Yonex.
But I think the only real major difference is the power, which the Pro One has more of. I think picking between these 2 is determined by your playing style...singles baseline basher > Pro One. Doubles, all court player> 200G.
both great sticks though for sure and they are almost interchangeable.
Sorry to hijack this thread. JackB-seems like you played the Head IG Radical Pro as well? How do you compare the 3, Pro1, Max 200G. Thanks
Both are worth a demo. I personally liked the Pro One better. I found the Dunlop to be one of the more comfortable frames I've hit, but very low powered.
I found the Rad Pro quite different from the P1 and 200g. The Rad Pro feels very head heavy and harder to swing for me. But the thing I struggled with most was the flex. The racquet flexes A LOT on impact and made it harder for me to pinpoint my aim. At the time I compared the Rad Pro to the P1 and preferred the P1. I also don't care for the Head grip shape. The P1 has all the power of the Rad Pro, but without the exessive flex and rectangular gripshape.
I agree the Pro 1 has more power, but I wouldn't call the 200G "low powered". The mass of the frame when moving behind the ball can provide a lot of power to the ball. What string setup did u try?
Whatever multi TW had in there. The power was definitely below average, even for frames of the same general class. I'm not the only one who thinks so - do a search and check the TW review.
I'll agree that it's power level isn't too bad in the context of classic frames - but relative to what's generally available (and being used on the courts) today, it's easily classified as a touch or finesse frame. It'd be perfect if you've got a sore arm and want something with a big sweetspot, that's forgiving off-center, but also has low pop.
