Does anyone know how this line differs then the non alpha. I'm interested in the 290gram model. Is the 290g just available outside of US? The 300g is too heavy and 280g is too light in the non alpha.
I've narrowed down to Yonex Dr 100 285g or Wilson Burn LS. Love yonex feel but like the easy power and depth of Wilson spin effect. I used Lux 4g rough. Any thoughts long term how I would favor one or other?
Yes. Yellow cyclone 1.25mm with Ezone XI. Used it for a year and a half. I've been getting best match results with 4G Rough so don't think I would go back. Plus it wasn't as long lasting.
48 lbs is tension. I've never broken poly strings. The strings cut into each other too much and loses playability so that's when I restring. Luxilon 4g Rough almost doesn't move at all.
I'm currently using the Luxilon 4G rough 48/48 lbs in my Yonex DR 100 10.6oz Lite. Im looking for a recommendation on something a little more powerful but still have the qualities i like in 4G Rough
-feel, tennis maintenance/control (last me over 25+ hours before restring playing at 4.5 level)...
I've now tried both the DR 100 300 gram and 285 gram (coming from AI 100 LITE leaded up to 292grams) and i don't like either of the new frames. I can't exactly pin point why but I think the new grommet hole shapes (rectangular vs circular of AI) is making it more plush and less control for me...
I'm a 35yo 5'5 120lbs male 5.0 playing with this racquet for last 2 years. Came from using Head Instinct 11oz. This racquet like the other poster said is extremely maneuvable. It's solid on returns too which is surprising for 275 gram. Love this racquet. Now I'm looking to get DR100 285 just...
I play with AI 100 Lite leaded up from 275 gram to 290gram very headlight with all the lead tape in handle. Played best tennis of my life with Kirschbaum Proline2 (4.5 level beating a few 5.0). Last 3 months tried and played just as well with Lux 4G Rough but developed tennis elbow. I liked the...
Been wearing Nike Air Max Cage for last 1.5 years. Coming from Barricade 7 which i liked durability but was willing to trade off for Air Max Cage for comfort and lighter weight.
Now i need a show recommendation. Don't like the look and feel of the new Nike Air Zoom or whatever it's called...
I've been using Pro Line II on Yonex Ai 100 10.2oz for past year. Loved string (powerful, plush/soft, ball pocketing) and getting good results from it but doesn't last me very long. Have to restring 1.25mm version every 3 matches because control is gone.
Couple weeks ago I demoed the Ai 100...
This racquet has a little more power than i'm used to. Which of these strings would be a good fit for this racquet to give it a little more control?
Volk cyclone 16g
Kirschbaum Pro Line 2 1.25mm
Yonex Tour Spin
Or hybrid set up with a soft synthetic gut.
