I cured my shoulder and elbow problems by using a blade 16 x 19 cv with full set of lux gut at 52 lbs. that worked for me. Now I’m pain free. Just my two cents

2 matched PA

I play with both the new paint play more muted, bigger sweet spot, has more control, my opinion. Using NXT 17 power are 57 lbs. Fit's my game.

Continue with the PS 97 it's a little heavy now but within a couple of weeks you will notice you can control it and when swing out you keep it in play, your game will improve to this racquet. Then it will be time to invest in your mechanics and bring home the state championship and on to...

Yep great racket for my game. (4.0) Starting playing with PS97 Jan 2016 came from a 2012 PD , demoed Ezone, Radical, Ultra, Blade, Volkl Burn but kept coming back to PS97. Just feels right. Set up NXT Power 17 at 57 lbs usually breaks about 4-6 weeks acceptable to me. Tried gut felt great but...

I agree USTA leagues tend to have to much drama and sand baggers. The USTA needs to do the official rating themselves, instead letting people self rate. they may find more happy players and teams maybe better balanced. I find most men groups find players at their level and start their own...

Please do yourself a favor and demo the pro staff 97 before making a final decision, because I'm now back playing with my PS 97 strung with NXT Power 16 at 57 lbs. and element 16 at 54 lbs. I realize the PS is a little heavier, but if you can handle the weight, you might surprise yourself, I...

Update, I have added weight at (12 o'clock 1oz.) & (3 o'clock 1oz. and 9 o'clock 1 oz.) I find the racket has just more pop/plow through, but slower on volleys, it's a trade off. This racket is turning out to be a great racket for customization. It's still a solid playing racket without adding...

I play in a 4.0 55+ league, I see everyone using from 95 to 120 --the head size doesn't matter, it what feels comfortable to you. :)

The only thing a dampener does is change the sound of the racket strings when you it them, nothing more.

Not for the demo, now that I play them I've tried 2oz. at the 2 and 10 o'clock and found no improvement. I find the more I play, the more I get adjusted to them. Today I mostly play doubles and I find them quicker for volleys. I went from 2012 PD to 2015 PD but my arm was staring to get swore...

I currently play the ultra 100 string with NXT power 17 at 56 lbs. I find it plays like my Bab 2012 PD string with NRG 17 at 58 lbs. The difference the ultra feels more muted which I like, and feels better on my arm. I find this racket to a solid choice for a 4.0 player who is looking for an...

wow, I hope I can play as long as you have. take care.
