I play the T Fight 305 with Gamma Base Grip instead of the original Tecnifibre Base Grip which shifts the balance to more head light and gives a kinda leather feel. I strung it with Signum pro Firestorm 1,25mm, which compliments the racket in the best possible way. With Overgrip Wilson Weight is...
Full bed Cyberflash Top Spin 1.20 (more spin and less head heavy) or 1.25mm (less spin but more control for fast racket head speed but more head heavy) is a great string in the racket.
You can add a gamma basegrip or / and a second overgrip to balance the racket for less head heavy. Its a...
Is this crack in the frame or just overlaying paint? Do you feel the frame behvaes odd at impact with the ball?
Here is a frame Tfight 305 with small imperfections at the same area and still hesitate to buy it. https://ibb.co/g4Wbvt8
It doesnt matter. You have enough precision and ball trajectory isbonbthe lower side, it can be fine tuned by strings. But you gain power and spin with this 18x19.
Tfight 305 iso. High SW, power and stability, precision, control, spin and feel + arm comfort. All there. This combination is unique. Try it, its a pro stock like racket. Hopefully you get one near spec, otherwise it could be to demanding.
Tfight Iso 305 18x19. More spin, has a good combination of power and control and easy on the arm. Swingweight is high and balance is on the head heavy side but a unique combination of a light racket but stable and hefty plow thru. Its a players racket out of the box.
Is the Extreme Pro soft in a good or bad way ? Lets assume softness is good for arm comfort, but if the racket flexes like a noodle the incoming Energy of the ball will be reduced and outgoing balls will slow down. For higher level of players this can be an issue.
Myself i play the Aux 1.0...
With some lead at 3 and 9 it might be playable like the Auxetic 1.0 version.
The question is if the Auxetic 2.0 Pro bring something more to the table besides the colour and the sound grommets?
The ET has a lowerish swingweight in stock form, so it doenst feel like a "heavy" 305g. Thats the reason its so whippy. Get an underspeced with 301 or 302 g. You need just a small amount of additional weight to make it stable. 1g under the buttcap, 2g at 3 and 2g at 9clock. Done
Take the Extreme Tour Auxetic 1.0 or the new Auxetic 2.0 which enter the stores right now.
I smashed my wrist and had big pain for months and was experimenting a lot with rackets and strings.
With the ET in can even play stiffer polys. You might add some weight at 3 and 9 and under the...
I guess the pain is on the outside of your palm in the little finger area. Put a small folded cardboard with a length about 1 inch into this area and tape it around the whole wrist in addition to the brace
I play the Auxetic 1.0 and with some weight under the buttcap, on the hoop at 3 and 9 and 11 and 1 clock it plays fantastic. Very good control and feel. Of course power and spin is also there but control (precision where you aim your ball) and feel at impact, crisp and smooth is outstanding. You...

There is a rail inside the brace on the palm site. That helps a lot for stability.
The brace shouldnt be thicker/bigger neither shorter or...
My wrist has injured 2 years ago. It was really bad for 1 year with ups and downs. I was playing with different rackets and strings but in the end i am very sensitive in the wrist area.
What i do nowadays is a triple protection with a brace, with a folded cardboard and tape around the wrist...
Thats what i think, cause overall weight is 301g without strings, overgrip and dampener. With all in i have around 330g. Swingweight is also managable but the stiffness is what i feel. With the weighted Extreme Tour auxetic i have no such problems at all, and i have Solinco Confidential in this...
Why that? Its still 71RA and very stiff racket. I did it already with a strip of lead tape at the very end of the handle under the overgrip cause the buttcap cannot be opened, but i just wanted to test if the shifting the balance point will be better for my game, but it wasnt, the racket was...
The Tecnifibre IGA 298 is also in the 15 twistweight range. Its a stiff racket with 71 RA and my forearm and wrist hurts. Even with Poly Tour pro.
What are retail rackets you knwo with higher TW but comfortable on the arm?
