Yeah match is on the 3rd biggest court. That’s the problem with TV tennis. This thing is third set and great tennis and unless you are here you can’t see it.

I’m like 15’ away from her right now. Although my wife is next to me. My wife said “I know you’re crushing on her but she would beat your sense of humor right out of you”. Sigh. True dat.

I’m a weirdo. Feels great

Miami. Holy crap Badosa is hot. What an athlete. TV doesn’t translate. My crush is real

PA+ is a little more versatile than the Q+5x’s. In 2023 guise. Pretty amazing if you like XLs

It’s the extra weight from that thing on your head! (I’m just jealous as if I let my hair grow I look like a psycho… straw hair!)

I think you would like the shift 315. It’s right in the middle between the UP and BP. And is (maybe) the best balance of power, spin, and control in a frame I’ve played with. The one problem is I don’t serve as well with it. And in this the UP of any pattern shines. But the caveat is that...

I get it. It’s funny, my approach shots and net are better with it than most frames. I’m struggling with approaches with the PA+ in match play where the BP just works. I can’t remember though if it bothered me at first as I did a ton of approach practice with the Slinger last summer and...

I’ve been saying this since August. For me, the BP is almost whippy. I don’t know why, must be the TW and it just fits me. I get why everyone doesn’t like it though. @emhtennis said something that probably explains it…. What was it? Something like “I like to play tennis like cocaine bear”

Im probably leaving Sunday but I’ve been known to ‘stay one more day’. My wife is the problem as she has to work Monday. Well, I do too, but that doesn’t count. Monday is always one of the best days for quality matches! Enjoy!

It’s a blast from the past. Used it in my six ones when it came out - what - 10 years ago now? Soft hex? Maybe longer… wow. Time is flying. Not much tennis for a few days as I’m heading to Miami later today. Tennis all day long for a few days. And somehow not a contradiction.

I can literally use anything in the BP and it’s goat. Any string I own and my string collection is …. Well… built for the end of days. But Durafluxx is pretty awesome. 123 @ anything in the 40’s

Given my latest obsession over the PA+, curious if anyone has hit the Ezone 98+ 2022? I liked the 2020, but didn’t love it…. but it seems they may have fixed some of the issues I had with it (pocketing and spin). Durafluxx is really bringing me back to XL land and it’s like not wearing...

Tier One Durafluxx. It’s a great string for rackets like this that have a lot of power. Even stringing low you can have good control as the string doesn’t give you anything for free, yet has good spin and comfort. It’s a gem. edit add: wow, you have a beefier frame than mine is stock...

I’ve only played outdoors with it, Florida life style, hard court and har tru. One of things I like about the PA+ is I can flatten out on demand. But I understand what you are saying….. I just don’t find the launch as high as say the Elevate v3 (which I can also flatten out most of the time...

The key for me is to make sure you adjust your spacing. If you set up, have the right spacing, and swing relaxed, there is a ton of control and power. But…. it’s not a control frame compared to BP, Elevate v3, Shift 315, or PSVS in your case. But for me I think it’s the best control from...

lol, it absolutely can crush balls. 75% balls have more juice on them than 90% balls with my regular v8 BP. not always a good thing, but relaxed juice on demand is the PA+’s thing.

‘Wet dog’ is my favorite cologne. 40% of the time, it works every time

Pure Aero plus is :drool: String it with something like DF that you can get below 50 for maximum thrill ride

Every time I think I think I’m out, they pull me back in. Manic court surface changes are a direct link to ‘holicing. That 95 on har-tru, meh. Maybe it will work for you though.

I took it off so these are without weight on the 62’s. I have weight on the 70’s. But I do have dura 17 in there which adds some to it.

It’s crazy. The numbers do mean something, I’m convinced of that, but construction and layup mean something too. Foam filled vs. PK magic beans vs. babo vs. pro stock layups. The metrics only are a part of the formula. No wonder pros just play with what they like and let customizers...

I’ll have to check some unstrung. Yeah under 13 seems like crap, but somehow not as bad on that one light BP I have. It’s not that different than my other BPs in playability. The racket is so solid. Unicorn blood may change what the numbers mean

Nonsensical , crazy info. No idea what it means yet. There is something I like more in these numbers but what is it? Plus I need to do all of this more to make sure I don’t have errors. Also, most of these have mods. Not going into all of that for now. Ask me if curious. But anyway...

315. I really wasn’t interested in the 300

Dude I’m with you. I hate people that ‘it’s the only time I can play’ guliting me into it. Why did I say yes? Haha. But I played really well

I used the BP in my match this morning. 8am and I didn’t want to mess around. Easy win 3,2 with a slight hangover. Gawd, the dumber I make myself the better tennis I play. But yeah the BP is so easy for me to use. Gut mains must be sweet. After match I did some more hitting - like 2...

It’s a pretty comfortable racket, but strings can change these things quickly. What string and tension gave you discomfort in the Shift? I’ve only used Durafluxx so far at 46lbs and it’s like a pillow. The 315

Passed out last night and have 8am match today. I hate 8am. Ha. I’ll report a whole table today for reference

The Briffidi TW adapter makes you not trust any published TWs. It’s like they made it all up since no one knew how to accurately measure until now. And I want to hear more about that ghastly orange string. It would look horrific in the PA+, or any of my rackets, but it sounds interesting...
