I really enjoyed this frame on a test hit. I've always played with "players rackets", currently the 2013 technifibre 315 ltd since that's what I grew up with. I have never been able to jive with stuff like apd, don't like the more even balance and thick beam. I thought the yonex had a nice grip...

Wow man, relax. Coming on way too strong to say the least. The guy has hit with it once with only one type of strings. Maybe he has never hit with nxt before, I know I haven't and I'm a 4.5. I see zero wrong with saying what he said considering he only has experience with one string. He cannot...

I finally hit with my two 315 ltd 2013 18x20 and was impressed. Ton of spin strung with alu power 16L at 48 lbs. plenty of power too. Nice soft feel with a good flex. Feels more flexible than a redondo. Everything felt great but serves which were just ok. Just need more time to dial in. My...

Interesting. I did not feel like the redondo felt harsh. I playtested it along with a Wilson 6.1 95 and had no issues with the redondo but noticeable pain with the Wilson in my shoulder. But everyone has different tolerances. I have a set of demo 315 ltd 18x20 frames I have yet to try, but...

Just depends on your fitness level and your game. You can also string it lower for more power. Personally I always played best with these types of frames as I can generate full racket head speed and stay consistent and hit with good spin. Whatever helps me hit consistently has always been best...

I found two lightly used demos of the 2013 18x20 in L3 at tennis xpress in Houston, and bought them for 59.99+ tax. I'd rather the leather grip and the cost of the new one is annoying. I'll try em out and if I don't like them I'll happily sell them for what I paid to someone on here.

A bit of a different question...anyone have experience with this and an old k blade tour 93? I loved that racket back in the day and would love something similar with a slightly larger head. I like the thin beam and maybe adding a leather grip could get the weight and balance the same.

Perfect, this is exactly what I needed to know. I'm out on this then. I'm not into customizing except for always adding a leather grip. Thanks!

The ltd? Wanted to make sure we were talking about the same frame? Thanks!

Thanks guys! How much more powerful is the 16x19 compared to those frames? I hit the ball with a lot of spin and have been able to generate heavy spin with both the pc95 and redondo (which is a very spin friendly frame imo). I wouldn't mind a little more power with a thin beam and flexible...

How does this stick, in both string patterns, compare to the pure control 95 and pro kennex redondo MP? I'm a big fan of both sticks, but liked the feel of the pure control 95 (pure storm ltd) more. I'm tempted by the 16x19 315 ltd. I'm a 4.5 with a big whippy forehand just coming back after a...

I thought the 315 ltd was discontinued?

All, Ive been out of tennis for a few years now, and have played with several frames along the way. My two favorites have been the K Blade Tour 93 and the Pure Storm LTD. They both allowed me to be the most consistent which has always resulted in my best success. I have never fared well with...

Good thread. I have an esp 100t and have been breaking strings like crazy. Currently using up my reel of cyclone 17 and breaking in an hour and a half or less :/

Loving my prince ESP 100t frames, but man oh man I am breaking strings every hour and a half. I've had to add a 3rd frame because I'm nervous I may break both in the course of a single match! I'm using volkl cyclone 17g string, but will go to 16g I guess after this reel is through. Anyone...

this is a really interesting post. I am a former 2 handed backhand player trying to make the move to a one hander since it feels much more natural to me. I also feel much more comfortable with a mild eastern grip (conti / eastern blend) and tend to like to try to rotate a little more when...

bump for this thread, I too am interested in this I am committed to making the painful switch to the 1 hbhd from a 2 hander (usta 4.5), and feel comfortable with a blend between eastern and continental but now is the time to change if necessary. curious to see the feedback from more...

In a big match if I win a point with a winner to consolidate a break or to take the set, I'll give a fist pump or maybe a "come on" or something. Maybe max twice a match, often none a match. Nothing wrong with it IMO and I've never been bothered by opponents doing it either.

Right, because I said that I thought people should play until they die. Good luck finding the post where I said those words. Anyway, ive said my piece. Carry on.

Taking it out of context much? Clearly medical staff should always be present in a tournament, and a player who isn't feeling right should know to at least ask for a break if they are struggling with the heat. I know I've played in matches where some players have struggled with heat and...

Like the other guy said, if you can't handle the heat, then withdraw. Where is the personal responsibility of the players? Other people need them to manage for them? Why punish those who do work to be in appropriate physical condition for the tournament? As far as my conditioning, I work hard...

See below. Not in shape? Then get in shape or deal with the consequences of being out of shape and playing tennis. How many hand outs do you need? We don't even have real 3rd sets anymore, pathetic.

Hell no. 3rd set 10pt tiebreakers are ridiculous as is. Tennis is about fitness as well. Jeez, man up

Ive been on with this Dunlop Biomimetic 500 tour for quite a few months now, and still really enjoying it. Hitting with a tweener racket like this one really makes the game easier. Plus the incredible spin and racket head speed i can generate with it actually makes my game more consistent...

to many peoples eyes, a true 5.0 player looks almost like a professional tennis player in person. if you cant consistently sustain long, heavy hitting rallies for 10 shots or so in match play, you arent above a 4.0 player. 5.0 is a very good tennis player, and there arent too many of them...

I am not sure it makes much of a difference to me. If I am hitting the ball off center badly it probably is going to result in a poor shot anyway. I noticed that my mishits or frame hits (on returns of good serves on the stretch) were still pretty solid and almost always went in and still had...

Hey Ross, I didnt like the 400 tour because it really didnt meet my expectations I had coming in based on specs and reviews. I didnt think it was particularly light to swing (didnt feel like 9pts headlight) and also thought it felt stiff and low powered. It had OK spin, but basically felt...

This weekend I played in one of the first tournaments I have played in since I was a kid. The tournament was a major zone and was totally rained out friday and half of saturday. So all matches were condensed, and I played 7 total matches (started each at 2-2 for whatever reason) in...

I am using this frame now in 18x20. Great frame for me. I think that the only slight modifications id ever like to make would be slightly varying the string tension and type. I love the combo of big sweetspot, great control, 100sq in headsize and flexibility in a frame. Also the low...

I play this racket in 18x20 and really enjoy it. I would tend to agree that the feel is either love it or hate it I suppose, but I really like the flexible hoop feeling. If you are the kind of player that hits with long strokes and hits over the ball, the headlight balance and flexible...
