    Head Velocity MLT

    I use velocity for a few months, since the rainy season at home, which prevents the use of naty FB .... or even in hybrid! 49 years old, I have been through a lot of snowshoe setups, and strings. in the end, I always come back to my ideal configuration. 100', 280g, 16*19 . in this logic I...

    They need to make multi filaments strings more exciting !

    let's also not forget the stringers who buy poly, just for the value for money, and the profit they make selling poly! in my club, we have an amateur stringer who takes all the racquets in the club, and strings them with poly! whether young or old, even 65-year-old women who play with 250g...

    Wilson Ultra v4 100 vs 100L

    hello, when i look closely at the specs of ultra v4, i manage to find some flex measurements as follows: 100L: 60RA strung 100: 68RA strung the swingweith is: 315 for the 100 and 299 for the 100L balance 33 for both. the question is: is it better not (for the control over 60RA) to take the...

    $279

    racket manufacturers have long understood that tennis players are snobby fools; no matter the real gain in terms of play, no matter how you really feel, what matters is that you are convinced to play better with the "latest model", which will be much more expensive, much more technological, and...

    Wilson Pro Staff V14.0

    in fact, what I think is that the racquet business is pure marketing, making people believe that they absolutely need the latest technology to play better. I often see it with my students who are convinced that with such and such a new racquet from such a champion they will gain xx% in power...

    Wilson Pro Staff V14.0

    So, I'm going to give a simple, serious answer without any intention of sarcasm on my part. we are talking about technology, I agree with you, about some rackets that can play optimally. but. being a former man classified 3/6 (French) or US 5.5 in the 2000s, I am 49 years old. following a...

    Wilson Pro Staff V14.0

    ok, so you think a racquet is a reflection of its price? if i follow your reasoning, yonex astrel 115 (275€) should perform better than radical graphene MP (140€). I think 75% of the price of a racquet is mostly marketing. (like the strings), I remember some time ago having lost my bag during...

    Wilson Pro Staff V14.0

    what do you mean about the wilson team? before I seriously injured myself and had to stop for almost 4 years, I played with wilson Ncode six one 95 "Team", as well as wilson BLX six one 95 "team" too, and these frames compared to their non-team equivalents weigh 289g, compared to the 330g of the...

    Wilson Pro Staff V14.0

    I try to ask a 3rd time the question, on the site of TW europe, as well as many shops, we find the PS team 100, in V13 and V14. specs: 280g, 645, 16/19. a fairly high flex (from 66RA for v12 to 66/69 for versions 13 and 14) . Anyone know this frame? (it also exists, it seems to me, in a...

    Wilson Pro Staff V14.0 team 100

    https://www.tenniswarehouse-europe.com/Raquette_Wilson_Pro_Staff_Team_V14_0/descpageRCWILSON-97TV14-FR.html nobody talks about this racquet, is it a "fake" pro-staff, 645, 280g, it could be a good option if the power was reasonably reduced.

    Wilson Pro Staff V13.0 team

    hello, seen this morning on a sales site, pro staff 100 team v13.0 on the specs, we find 280g unstrung balance 32.5cm 16*19 Does anyone have any info on this frame? I played a lot of time with wilson pro staff or six one team 95 289g, but with age a sieve of 645/100 suits me a little more, I...

    Head Velocity

    ok, I was already thinking of going from 22.5/23.5 to 23.5/24.5kg, see what it is, for the moment, apart from the 20 to 30cm of additional ball length, all the requirements are checked.

    Head Velocity

    I agree, but I break 17g multi (x-one, micronite, RIP and many others) in less than 3h30 to 4h, the only ones that hold a bit is (was) duramix 1.35mm, X-one 1.34mm or NXT control 1.32mm I believe, but never beyond 7 hours, and at these prices, it becomes difficult. I used 17G in natural gut and...

    Head Velocity

    played yesterday 1h with FB velocity 1.40mm, 22.5kg/23.5kg for the moment control and spin are present, comfort and sensations too, it remains very pleasant, with interesting impact, but for the moment I have trouble managing the power, my balls are a little too long, they come out from 20 to...

    Head Velocity

    thank you for your answer, but what interests me is how it plays compared to velocity FB or velocity cream.. where it is in terms of control and power.

    What is the most gut-like string that's NOT gut?

    I come back to this subject, there are many things that I would always have a lot of trouble understanding. some of you are there criticizing that nothing plays like natural gut, yes of course, but do you play like Federer Nadal or Djoko? no, of course! some of you are out there saying that...

    Taming a 100' frame with gut/poly or poly/gut

    what saddens me is that some take personal specificities as a universal rule. it's like saying: for me, on a yamaha secret fx of 360g, tied with pure aramid 1.30mm at 35kg it's quite playable and comfortable for the arm. very control and powerful. so... everyone should necessarily find it...

    Multifilament vs Soft Poly (low tension)

    to think that a soft poly will be soft is to think that it is possible to buy a rolex for $100 (a real one) or an apartment on 5th avenue cheap! a poly is stiff and hard on the arm! of course, there are polys that are a little less rigid, but that's still poly! as there are vodkas a little less...

    Multifilament vs Soft Poly (low tension)

    I think the problem should be posed differently. ask yourself the question: what is most important to you? 1) playing great (it's to be discussed) with poly, but playing very little time because of injuries? 2) play great with poly and have to stop playing for 2-3 month lapses due to TE? 3)...

    Nat gut x poly hybrid questions

    i think low flex (phantom, clash, under RA63) is better for arm, pure drive is over 70/72? RA, not realy arm friendly! (when strung with poly)

    Nat gut x poly hybrid questions

    there is nothing bothering you? pure drive = very stiff racket 285g= light racket RMP blast= stiff string, anf textured poly the rule would be that we avoid the poly on this kind of configuration. using a "soft" poly on the crosses with a natural gut is a good option, but I'm not convinced...

    Taming a 100' frame with gut/poly or poly/gut

    I play with frames ranging from 95' to 107', always the same setup, it goes from natural gut/poly to natural gut/multi via poly soft/synthetic gut. it depends on the periods, the types of game. when I go from one frame format to another, in one direction or another, or when I go for example...

    Upgrading from Wilson Clash 100 Pro to get a more arm and spin friendly racquet... to what?

    i'm play with 2 frame clash 100 pro platinum edition , and 3 clash 100L, one V1 black-grey-red version, the second on silver/platinum version, and the third V2 on custom version (white gold). for flex, i found the pro version (ltd silver 315g) and the 100L (all versions) play very similar...

    Strings to help Tame Babolat frames

    I think that's where the limits of next-generation frames are reached. these stiff frames are great when it comes to generating power and spin without prioritizing technique. but power is often, if not always, gained at the expense of control. Reminder: the stiffer a frame is, the more power...

    Upgrading from Wilson Clash 100 Pro to get a more arm and spin friendly racquet... to what?

    IMO synthetic gut is not realy like natural gut, if you want to try something great, try a premium multi. for me, isospeed control pro is a good value, on the same idea, there are la lot of very good multi. my favorite are: signum micronite, pro supex maxim touch, isospeed energetic (with poly...
