Arli- what string are you using? I just had a demo strung with TB/vanquish. Feels great. Coming from a 99s full poly. This was a random demo for my wife and the more I hit it, the more I like it.

Let's discuss. Ive been steaming and just recently went to the head. Enjoying it. Won with it earlier this week. Another match tonight, used the head first set. Switched to steam after winning first set beauause I just didn't feel as confident with the mpa. Not totally used to it yet. Steam...

You're overthinking it and need to just have fun as an underdog. I won a consolation round 4.0 as a 2.5 once. Goal was to not get bageled and at some point got loose. Keep going at it and have fun. It's always better when it's fun. Funny thing is that's my favorite hardware I've won so far. I...

Hope those of you that went had a great weekend. Dodged the weather, rained the whole drive back! Won our flight, took home the finalist hardware.

How's the x9 compare to the pb9? I'm thoroughly enjoying this pb9.

Would rotating be more risky. Say you have 2 and you rotate them equally, so strings are at the same life. If 1 pops, wouldn't the next one be at about the same place. So you break strings, then grab your other one and it breaks soon after.

Not sure why the pb9 didn't take off...this thing is great. Feels awesome. Plenty of power. It swings great. I think it's my new stick for the season.

Been using yonex supergrap for a long time. I like it. I recently went from 3/8 down to 1/4 on some new racquets. I'd like to just use one OG. The yonex is allright but want slightly thicker.

I just received 2 brand new pb9s. Gonna give them a try. I've used the 7s a lot, have a x10 295 but didn't enjoy it. Most recently have been using steam 99s, will probably keep using the 99s but am trying out some sticks that don't require full poly. Found a deal that I couldn't pass up so...

Same here...March.

Come on G4driver...youre a smart @$$ regardless!

Kicking the year off, like my new x10 295 so far, found a sick deal on some new pb9s, should be here early next week. Can't seem to stop building up my Volkl stockpile.

This year, in between my go-to pb7s I've had a 6.1 team, yonex ai98, pro staff 95S, donnay f100, then settled down with the steam 99s. Used the steam through the end of mixed season (made it to states), then for combo season (won states, heading to mobile in March). Got a new Volkl x10 295 in...

Not to sidebar the thread...but a quick question. Is ~330 a high swing weight? My 99s is about 330 grams and about 330 sw. It's nice and does great things but I think maybe the sw tires me out after awhile. I'm trying to figure this all out because I like the racquet, but I feel after awhile I...

I have a nice red/white/blk blx version. I pulled it out this week for a few hits, but Im having too much fun with the 99s lately. Posted the 6.1 team on the classifieds here.

G4/blt- any updates? Curious on comfort. I'm finding the 99s pretty soft even with a high stiffness rating, open pattern helps, even full poly doesn't hurt. Wondering how a few points less stiff and an extra cross feels. (Always Leary of graphene and comfort).

Anyone familiar with both? I've been sticking with the 99s but interested in the 97LS. Hit a few with the ps tonight but not enough due to weather. The 97 seemed comfortable, lighter and faster swinging. Has anyone here done a comparison? Has the shot of being like a 99s with more...

What's the verdict? I'm back to using an f100 and debating full syn gut vs poly/syn vs poly/multi. And whys this not in the strings forum?

I don't have any scientific data but I have become a coconut water fiend. I had an issue with my calve muscle, kept pulling it often and since I've been addicted to cocowater, it hasn't happened. I buy whatever is on sale, mostly zico latey. I find that rising sun is the best tasting. I try...

I made a trade and have a pro staff 95s. I'm loving it, but it's a 1/4 and also has a bab skin feel grip on it...so it is tiny. I have 2 yonex supergraps plus a tourna on it, so basically a 1/4 with a thin grip plus 3 og's. Wonky town! What grip plus 1 OG can I put on and have a similar size...

Surprised you're not tinkering with the pb7. Seems to offer a nice blend of power and touch.

Nice jack. I keep jumping back on my pb7s.

How's the 95s compare power wise to the team?

That sounds about like what I'm expecting, and looking for. How's it compare to the 6.1 team? (Outside of weighing more)

Anyone play these back to back? Other than the 95s having less power, a barely smaller head, thin beam and a touch more weight...how do they compare? Lately I have been enjoying a six.one team 16x18 and a 99s. I like the flex and thinner beam of the team. (so comfortable on the arm). I...

Loved the 4 but at that time ended up buying the 7, think the 7s just dropped in price when I bought it. So now I have 5 of the 7s. I'd like to to try the 4 again. I bet it's even more comfortable.

I think I keep coming back to my pb7 after buying/trying multiple 95-100" racquets because it plays fine when moving well and being aggressive, but it can also be sufficient when playing a little lazy. Big sweet spot, easy power when being lazy and just reaching/flicking some balls back...

How's the LS compare elbow wise to the 99s? Reading your thoughts has me tempted to try a stock 99ls. I just bought a brand new ai98 but am struggling with the weight. Always liked the 99s other than string options and the stiffness. Wondering if the LS would be decent on the arm (softer than...

6.1 team? I'm all over the place with racquets but have used most of the ones you have lately. I have 5 pb7s and always come back to it. The 6.1 team (16x18) is not heavy and seems very stable. I have 1 listed here for trade. I used the 99s for a awhile but gave up due to stringing options...

After playing with a borrowed one all weekend I picked up my own today. The one I borrowed had sppp/glide. I went with a full bed of sppp @ 50lbs. Hit some tonight with the new one. Still surprised how comfortable it is. Just getting used to it, it's a bit (quite a bit heavier) than my pb7...
