Depends on the string set up :)

Give ytex Square X sharp a try. I originally liked hyper g soft (I still love it), but square x sharp seemed to bite the ball a little bit more and I think I enjoyed the overall playability of it a tad bit more. I think the only downfall for me was the tension maintenance on square x sharp...

Nishikoris polo is up but they never release the half zip polos worn by shingo and gordon

Yep he got a wild card!

Probably not for sale like most of the stuff the ambassadors wear :(

What are you switching from and what are the issues with what you're currently using?

Also excited to see how the ps100 16x20 performs. I loved the pure storm back in the day and haven't cuddled with babolat outside of the aero storm and pure aero vs. curious how comfortable the racquet is since I know a lot of the babolat frames are a bit stiff

I think after I bought the 21 version, I lost interest in the barricade and had no interest in the upgraded one but the new 13 does have improvements over the 21 for sure

Yep, very low launch angle haha the xalt is almost as stiff as a soft poly and I could feel my elbow falling off after about 20 minutes of singles hitting. I should have strung it in like the 40s lol

I've never understood why some people have two different racquets for singles and doubles. I've seen some do it but I feel like for a game that relies on muscle memory and consistency, having multiple racquets causes you to change your strokes and form. That's just my opinion, I wouldn't do it lol

Judging from the pics of the barricade 13, the lacing looks like it could potentially fix the ankle/heel slippage issue. I'm gonna be in the playtest so I should be able find out soon if it secures the foot better.
