Ripsticks are based on O-Ports...

So now there isn't a single Phantom frame below 100 Sq. in? Hmm. I was expecting a 97 sq. in frame. So looks like there 100P for me....

Any idea when the cammos are out?

and 3-4 grams in under the buttcap.

Add 2 grams @ 12 to the 100G. You'll notice a world of difference.

You'll need to tweak the frame. Add a Leather grip (about 10 grams Plus) and Split 2-3 grams between 2 and 10. Use a shaped Poly probably Hyper G 17G. That racquet will have the stability of the Gravity Pro and much better feel.

Looking Great... (Original Post edited, I saw your review on an earlier page...)

Current racquet Phantom 97P and was looking for a racquet with more power. I've been playing with the Tour 98 for the last 10 days. As soon as the racquet arrived, I changed out the grip to a leather grip (+ 10 grams) and strung it with Confidential 17G (#48 Pounds). The overgrip put on was...

WOW that's pretty damn good quality control. Would you string all 6 the same way or vary the strings/tensions and choose a frame to play with based on how you are hitting on a particular day?

Hi Was the primary reason of adding 12 grams to make the racquet headlight or to increase the static weight of the racquet?

There's the Phantom 100 O3 as well. If you want pure power Ripstick is the route, if you want a very fast swinging racquet which is very manoeuvrable, the Phantom is the one. the funny part is that the Ripstick hits a flatter trajectory than the Phantom...

That review of the Tour 98 did me in. Just put in my order for 2. Still under #100 I think because it added the Gift pack automatically....

Have you tried the 100X 18x20 earlier? The funny thing about this racquet is that although its 320 unstrung, when you swing it you don't feel it at all. Especially on serves this thing swings like a monster.

I'm currently hitting with the 97P which is also a 16 x18. I learnt tennis with a flat style, but over the last couple of years switched to hitting much more topspin. However, when rushed or pushed out wide, the flat shot with minimal backswing is what works. By trial and error, I've found that...

I think you should give the 100P a try or even the 100G.....
