Yes I use flying clamps in a 50/50 until I reach the point where I don't need them. Then I switch to the fixed clamps.

Can you please elaborate?

Good to know, thanks.

I agree with you. The problem I have with the Tour 100 18x20 is that my main stick is the C10 Pro. These two are practically at opposite ends where power is concerned. Switching from the C10 to the Tour 100 when things are not working is asking for even more trouble. It just won't work. And...

Nearest one I found at TW is the Head Graphene Touch Radical S and this is their only 102 racquet right now.

Isn't a modern stroke more like topspins? I thought flatter strokes on OS are riskier.

Did I not read somewhere that there's some sort of a metal rod inside the handle? So you cut an inch off or even an inch and a half how shorter would the grip look like? Not too weird?

I have owned the Organix and Super G versions of the V1 MP before but sold them to my friends because it was just too light for me and I just couldn't lead it to my satisfaction. That was a couple of years ago. They're still playing with it. I have checked out the 105 Volkl V4 but my focus...

I'm totally not laughing. The 137 is actually on my list of about 4 just down at the bottom for now due to the worrisome swingweight number. I mean my current sticks are in the 12.5 oz range so I'm used to hefty racquets but I wanted to go lighter without sacrificing power and comfort. In...

Couple of grams (2-3) of lead at 12 should probably do the trick.

I hear you. I've actually demoed the 93p 18x20 a few months ago and I liked it. And I've also considered the Phantom 100 18x20. We'll see.

I've never attempted to use the brake on my Neos 1500 + Wise due to cautionary tales about the Wise's breaking despite Wise support (Dan) saying it's safe now with the recent models (series' 12 and 14). But I've also read here about this being bad to the higher-end machines long term as well...

Totally agree with you. There's just no argument here. I play doubles 100% and I'm a finesse type of player. If I have to hit from the baseline it will be with a lot of spin. But I try to avoid staying in the baseline as much as I can. I rely on soft but placed shots (combination of slices...

It's a much better hit than my C10 Pro's in every respect. I kinda missed the solidity of my C10's on volleys a bit though but not by much. It's still supremely comfortable. But it excels over my C10's in quickness, maneuverability and control at the net. With the C10 once you commit to a...

So I'm on the hunt for an oversize right now. I just got a new older model Volkl Organix V1 OS and have had two hits so far. So far so good. But I still have my eye on the Bubba 117. The one thing that's holding me back is a comment in this forum about it cracking in the throat. For those...
