The good news is, frap with grip changed to syntec pro and trimmed OG is 333g and 325 SW and it doesn't feel laborious. This is more maneuverable but i only managed to get in about 20mins yesterday with the other frames i wanted to try. UT is as i expected overall i would say maybe even a bit pleasantly surprised it is not as seemingly anemic as sometimes described. I added weight 2, 10 and 12 with stock grip and OG. Its around 332g and 329SW. Strung with TS @47lbs and i was hitting deep with nice full rich cream feel. Serves are not blistering by any means and require more placement to get the most out of it. Yes, i don't see it as my match stick but happy to have it in the bag for just hitting around sessions.
I think i still prefer BK in my zeus over big spin. Felt a bit less consistent with it yesterday. Missed a few kick serves just wide on the ad side and wasn't as assured on ground strokes. Maybe it was just me being rusty and finding a string to blame. A friend wants to hit outdoor later but i don't know brrrrr
ZUS arrives tomorrow. USPS baby.... lol. At least I have my fingers crossed.
UT is solid, I could have seen myself sucked in hard last year at this time when I was fooling myself with the BP in December. It will not be my match stick either, but a fun hit nonetheless.
Rad MP is a great racket, I'm still enjoying mixing that in. I play some great tennis with it, wish it was just a tad less vibe-y. Damn good frame though.
Dopes, TB's, 7Gs are resting. Except a little bit of Dope hitting. So I guess not full resting.
Totally dig the Limoncello, but it's more in the UT "fun hit" bag for me. I might like it better than the UT, but I need a bit more lead on the UT to get the SW up over 330 next time out. Limoncello needs more time.
Clash 98 made a surprise appearance on the court last night, I still really like that frame.... especially in mid 50's temps. Man, i hate cold weather more than I hate hot, humid weather. At least when it's cold out. maybe not when it's hot out.
Probably should put up Christmas lights, but I'd rather play tennis.
And that's Dec 1st 2021 roundup.
