16x19 with Gut mains and a poly with a low stiffness rating.(180’s-190’s). 18x20 with full poly and a sensitive elbow are a bad combination. Poly/Syn gut or poly/multi at low tension and up 4lbs on the crosses would last longer than your current set ups and be easy on the arm. Few options: Weiss...

Yes, that should work.

The weight on the V7 is what I am interested in as well and how much weight other than the shrink sleeve and leather grip to get it to 12.3.

Hey Troy, how much weight in the handle of the V7? I’m playing with the 2017 6.1 95 18x20 stock and wondering what would get me in the ballpark with the V7. Thanks

Spend and extra $9 dollars or so and get a Natural Gut like Klip Legend and a slick poly cross with good tension maintenance .The money you save on the poly will pay for the gut so you are looking at a lowe cost playing Gut/poly as opposed to playing Xone/Alu. You will get better playability...

Think I enjoy practicing with the upper level juniors and collegiate players more than competing these days. Can make a difference there.

Nice! By that I can play 4.0 now! No thanks. Truly starting to despise all things NTRP.

Have three of the 2017 Re issue 6.1 95 18x20’s. Great frames and back and forth from this frame and the RF97. Gut/poly in the RF 97 @ 58/55 and the 6.1’s with BHB7T @ 46. Feels like I can’t miss a ball with the 18x20. Superior control with that frame.

Pre-stretch the gut mains or pre stretch both.

Have a Hyper Tour 90 and was hitting a few balls with my kid today with that frame. How would you string that frame? Have been playing with the RF97 at 58/55 with Gut/poly for awhile. Guess could try the 48/45 that Fed used to play in that frame.

sounds like a good explanation to me.

my question is where can we have them re done professionally.

4 black RF97’s and they haven’t started peeling yet but if you look on the inside of the hoop you can see tiny shiny spots. I assume this is from playing on Rubico a good bit and the rock like granules hitting the inside of the hoop. Have two 2016 PS97’s with the soft feel pain and one of them...
