    New Solinco Racquets

    No I didn't use the 305, because of the high swingweight. But my 290's play 'plush' and not to stiff. Only tested them with confidential and head lynx both at 20/19kg. Had good depth and control, but could string it 0,5 / 1kg tighter maybe.

    New Solinco Racquets

    I bought 2 white out 290's and customized them to 305 grams, 31,5cm balance and a strung swingweight of 320. The regular 305 has a higher swingweight (like a blade) and that is a bit to much for me. The rackets have a nice feel and have good control. I noticed that the grommet holes are pretty...

    QC General Thread - Comparison between brands

    In my experience the QC of Tecnifibre is not that good. Yonex is great though.

    Ezone 100: is it actually arm friendly?

    I recently got to hit with the ezone 100 2020. Strung it with msv co-focus 1.18 and Wilson nxt at 23,5/23,5kg (DT 37). All I can say it is the best racket I hit with in a long time. The racket hits easy from both wings and I found it pretty stable at net. The control was also good. The only...

    Tecnifibre TFlash 300 ps

    Posting my 2 cents about the Tflash 300 ps. Just bought two Tecnifibre TFlash 300 ps on sale. One was 303gr and 32cm balance and the other one was 296gr and 31,5cm balance (unstrung). I had them matched and the specs are now 305,5gr, a balance of 32cm and a swingweight of 283. I played with...

    Yonex racquets

    Never hit with an Yonex before. I have recently played with Head MG Rad MP and Mantis Pro 295. I just got two RDiS 100 MP for a reasonable price. I strung them up with MSV focus hex 1.18 @24kg. The RDiS plays great and as said by some before the sweetspot feels bigger. First impressions Volleys...

    Closest to LiquidMetal Radical MP with 16x19 pattern?

    I only put some lead in the hoop. I think the rackets are around 300 grams unstrung at the moment. I know it is light, but at the moment I'm playing mostly doubles so it helps on my "reflexvolleys". Strung the Mantis with a poly (acelon 7 I think) at 19 or 20kg and it realy opens the sweetspot.

    Closest to LiquidMetal Radical MP with 16x19 pattern?

    The Mantis pro 295 is somewhat like a Head Radical with 16*19 string pattern. 98 sq in head size 64 RA Beam width 21,5mm

    Need a bit more power, but don't want to loose controle

    Thanks guys for the reply. I just got two Mantis pro 295 from the used section at TWE for €50 each. Also saw a Wilson 95 16*18 so maybe going to pick that one up too. I do think I have to add some lead (and leather) to the Mantis, but besides the stifness rating, it is pretty similar in spec to...

    Mantis PRO 295

    Just got two Mantis Pro 295 from the used section at TWE (€50,- each). From what I know the 310 is a 295 with a leather grip (more or less). The headsize of the 295/310 is slightly larger than the 305 and the 295 is a good racket to customize. The 295 (in stock form) is very to swing. I haven't...

    Need a bit more power, but don't want to loose controle

    Thanks everyone for their reactions and advice. I'll first tinker around with the strings before doing some more customizing or switch to another racket. As tribesman said the most important thing is to enjoy the game. I'm a recreational player with decent strokes who likes to play a few local...

    Need a bit more power, but don't want to loose controle

    I play more with spin than flat, but not in a Nadal kind of loopy way. I play with a SHBH which I try to play with more spin (worked better with the Prestige S). In rally's I start from outside of the baseline, but I try to get more on or inside the baseline. I play mostly doubles and I like...

    Need a bit more power, but don't want to loose controle

    My set up is m20kg acelon seven/c22kg acelon syn. gut. Maybe I should try full multi again and/or some lead at 12. It is a lot cheaper than buying a pair of new rackets (although it's always nice and fun:))
