With you on this Dan. In so many areas this should really be a perfect frame for me, but that slightly noodley numb feel has me reaching for other frames. That said, I wonder if its one of those that requires a bit more experimentation with strings?

Nice form PP. Really good to see you fully back in the groove after last year and hitting and moving sweet. And that G you are swinging too (wasn't that what Karue used as a young player?), that instantly is giving me a bad case of the old holic twitches!

Really nice find MD. What 'UK Skippy' doesn't know about stringing and the pro's racquets seriously isn't worth knowing. And not even a joke there either. Back in the day I was even lucky enough to have Paul string a few of my frames (this corresponds to the early period of the Diary of a RH...

Cheers everyone ^... brilliant... lots to interesting info there... and just as I was starting to wonder if, unknown to me, the SP had gone and got 'canceled'!... :oops: Btw (JOSHL included), I am still playing the 360+ but - for sure - it is high time I got hold of the Auxetic. Has to be on...

To any Speed Pro users - and maybe just to any 18x20 100" frame users also. Well, I am still all in with the SP (a little to my surprise even, and that in the face of a lot of other frames and particular rabbit holes always staring me in the face.) For my current changes tastes and perhaps more...

Yes, long time Mickey. Funny how out of the multitude of frames out there we've both alighted on the SP, and of course not forgetting our shared history with Babolats (and the 'Babolat Alliance'! :laughing: )... Good to hear from you. Loving that Hit 'em... Instant reaction is why explore...

Re this particular SP 360 (not the +), aside from lower SW than the most recent 2 versions, what else did you/others feel about it? Positive/negative traits?...

No worries. Good to know this re the Graph XT SP.

That's how I feel, loved it straight away. Have been flitting back and forth between tweener and more player-type frames for so long, and/or trying to find the right 'pleener'. Immediately though, with the directional control and painting the lines baseline performance, up at net, basically all...

Which is the 2011 C10?... which paintjob/colours is this one?... a 323 SW... interesting.

Speed Pro experts - share your wisdom! Directional control... 18x20... 100"... 2HBH (specially DTL)... volleys and up around the net... baseline grind time... flat short-ball winners... drop shots... feel and responsiveness... trajectory and launch angle... the oval shaped hoop... the grip...

Ahhhh, now we're talking... I've had an on/off and frequently dysfunctional relationship with the KB for years. With Tour Bite strung low, there's something so wrong but so, so very right...

Interesting... ahhh... Have gradually come around to liking the older version more and more. Currently and after elbowing out quite a lot of other options, I've got it in competition now with the Speed Pro - but I may well have to investigate the Auxetic because 'much more stable and solid'...

Thanks Happi and veelium ^. Thinking about tension re X-One, I recently played a Grav Pro strung full bed poly @ 50 lbs... What would be the equivalent for X-One?

I'm not at all much of a multi guy, pretty limited experience really. But I got to play Reflex MLT today (full bed 17g) and I was pretty taken by the performance. Not that it was a nirvanic transcendent tennis string experience! It did feel a bit stiff and slightly erratic on occasions. However...

I sense a new acronym may soon be amongst us!

Great control and a more linear and lower trajectory?... Hmm, sounds like my kind of PD! I did have a look at the 2015 (and the '21 too) last year but don't think I nailed it with the right set up. Curious, what strings/tensions do you particularly like with the '15?

+1 on that. Been enjoying this frame lately and will continue to experiment with different set ups (currently really liking a Pacific Hybrid - Powerline & Polyforce - I stumbled upon.) That said, last night and from who knows where, I had a sudden vision of the old gold/black Blade... So. Yep...

I know you liked Cyclone 19 a lot in the Aerostorm and Grav Tour - have you continued using it in your Grav Pro's? Interested in what yourself/others may have found to really work well in the Pro. Had a hit with mine today ('21 GP) and again it's given me a few things to contemplate, and not...

Some synchronicity, head-nodding and big interest reading through recent pages here. @fed and Kozzy - the Aerostorm GT... Finally got hold of one these a few months ago and my instant reaction was 'why the hell have I never hit with this before?' Something in the boxy beam, pancaking...

Yo RH's! My game has been labouring (and floundering) for a good few months, under an assault of OCD racket experimentation and frame-swapping. But then, I finally got my hands on a certain dark blue 98" that quite a few on these boards (and in this very Diary) have been raving about for a...

Me!... Not entirely sure I can offer advice since I've been 'working on this' since at least 2010...

Mine is incoming but won't get to check it out for a little while due to the xmas holiday break and travels The Dunny is also following very hot on the heels of an APD 13 and PA 19, plus I've lately gone a bit all in with the PD 15 (acquired 3). Lastly (I think lastly?), there is a Grav MP I...

About to pull the trigger on this one.

Former ATP ranked top 300 player - who normally plays with the PA - gives his impressions on the CX 400 T... I'm getting more and more curious about this one...

Thanks. That's a really informative response.

Next racketaholic mission for me is a concerted deep dive into Dunlop territory. Many years back I loved the AG 100 (have never forgotten how sweetly this beaut served), the Musclewave 200, the MFIIL 200+ (was lucky enough to have a pro-stock), an AG 200, etc. But in the intervening years a...

Me - and I'm sure as hell holding on to mine! Has to be in my top 3 tweener sticks ever. Not entirely sure if it would really be quite your thing, but - as described in every Pro Open 100 post ever circa 2010 - and in particular I reference racketaholic luminary of the period Jack B and his sage...

Didn't pan out at all as I got messed around by a time-wasting idiot on fleaboy. I got my money back (eventually) but frustrating, and not least because given the stellar TR 960 feedback but knowing now which direction I am headed, the 100" 990 Power Pro seems a very suitable candidate to check...

Q. Anyone played a Pure Aero (banana '19 version) Lite or Team and then modded up? Confess this is one itch I've been meaning to scratch for quite a while. I'm not sure exactly how all the PA's might differ (weight/balance aside), but main thing is I'm just curious which one people may have...
