one of my 6 C10's
Have any of you hit with the C10 Pro tour 93?
What is the balance of this stock frame?
I've bought the current c10 pro to replace my wilson 6.1 thinking it was headlight but the volkl website lists it as 1.3 in HL. On the contrary, TW lists it as 8 points HL. Is it a headlight or more even balance?
Is a HL racquet. Volkl specs are unstrung and TW listings are always strung.
The volkl specs are in inches, it is 1.3"inches hl. Tw list the specs in points (1p=1/8" if i remember right)Thanks for the reply. but wouldn't an unstrung racquet have an even more headlight balance? I think strings would add more weight to the head, thus making it more head heavy. So your reasoning does not explain volkl's website listing as 1.3 HL.

I am using my C10s with MSV Focus Hex 19 @ 23/22 kg.C10 Pro users, I'm considering a C10 Pro and would like some thoughts on a poly setup to start with. I'm currently using a 6.1 95S with Tourna Black Zone 17 at 55lb. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone put a leather grip on their C10 Pro and how did the extra weight on the handle effect the performance? I was thinking of doing this, but my C10's weigh about 12.6 oz stock with an overgrip. A leather grip may push it to 13oz, which may be a bit much. Of course, since the extra weight would all be at the handle I assume it wouldn't effect the swing weight much other than making the racquet more head light. I like the idea of a leather grip since it defines the bevels better. With an overgrip on top of the stock synthetic it tends to round off the grip and make it a little mushy.

So i have Gamma leather grips on my 2008s. With a 17g poly/16g syn gut hybrid set up, some lead at 3 and 9, and dampner, my two weigh 368-369g (close to 13 oz). Yes heavy, but being so headlight, even with lead no the hoop they swing nice and easy. i estimate swingweight to be around 330. I am an average 4.0 and the feel, power, comfort are all very good to me. Keep looking at new sticks that come out, and after demoing, still keep coming back to these babies. Have to admit the new Prince Textreme 95 and Babolat Pure Control Tour are tempting, at least on paper.

Thanks for everybody's replies on poly choices. Just going through the thread and seeing a few mentions of the grip shape being quite rectangular. Is it similar to the past Head grip shape? I have a Liquidmetal Radical and IG Extreme Pro 2 and both grips are fairly rectangular.
Not similar to the Head grip shape in my experience. While the Head profile has an oblong shape with wider bevels parallel to the string bed (perhaps bevels #3 and #7), the Volkl grip profile is much more square to me. I hit a one-handed backhand and I have a much easier time setting my hand in the right spot for this stroke with my Volkls than with the Heads I've played.
I can't say that either is better or worse, but I've used a couple of Volkl models for a few years now, including the C10. Feel is a very subjective animal, but the Volkl shape has become home-sweet-home for me. When I was using a pair of LM Prestige mids though, that oblong shape made it especially easy for me to set my forehand grip in an extreme eastern position. If I hit a two-handed backhand, I'd probably love the Head grip shape for that, too.

Good choice, Rabbit! I tried Solinco Tour Bite 19 a few months and I liked it. Nice bite and a great feel for a poly string. Very comparable with MSV Focus Hex 19. Good luck!I just strung up my Fish Scale C10 with Solinco Tour Bite 19 at 52/49. I'm hitting tonight, will report tommorow.

I use the C10 Pro Tours and I have to say I never have had shoulder/arm/elbow issues using these. I hope your good experience continues. The C10 pros are very nice sticks. The ones you just recently bought are the nicer varieties. I always liked the fish scale ones. Nice snag.After 5 months back on the C10, no more golfer's elbow. I think I've settled on a string/tension. Digging the bumblebees again.
Congratulations on your orginal C10s, Rabbit! You must be a very lucky man!thanks, guys! One of them is an original and has Classic 10 on the other side. I have fallen in love all over again...
Wait,... don't switch too soon because you always can change the grip pallets. Völkl has pallets into different grip shapes available. See this link: http://gssalliance.com/boards/topic/volkl-pallet-system/I will be leaving this club (and selling my almost new C10 pros if my son doesn't want them). I liked the weight, balance and plow through etc., but the grip shape just doesn't fit my one handed backhand grip. It doesn't line up well with the rectangular shape...causing me to shift back towards a continental grip.
I am going back to Prince (a much more comfortable grip shape I grew up with).
Google volkl replacement grip pallets and you'll get links to tennis shops from UK that sell different grip shapes.The TW Europe site has sizes listed, but they all appear to be replacements of the standard Volkl shape. I didn't see anything listing one that would allow me to alter the shape to a more square/rounded shape.
In September TW ĺl have a meeting with Völkl about the C10 update. See this thread:I heard there will soon be a new paint job for the C10 pro. Is that correct?
Is there C10 pro mid?
I was looking for c10 pro racquet pics and stumbled on C10 pro mid. I wonder they are the same or different.
There is the C10 Pro Tour that hasn't been produced for quite some time. A 93 with a slightly thinner beam and lower flex than the C10 Pro. Very hard to find.
Isn't the PB10 Mid a direct successor of that?
thanks!In September TW ĺl have a meeting with Völkl about the C10 update. See this thread:
