Any one try out a gut/poly hybrid in the 16x19 yet? Thinking it is going to be a perfect match for this racket.

The pingy feeling will be cured with some lead at 3 and 9. World of a difference in feel. I only needed 4grams. Still on my first set Pro Hurricane 16g at 55lbs. Very nice, after I put the lead at 3 and 9. Racket really goes through the ball now.

Wilson Revolve is a very good string for your racket.

Played a couple of sets early this morning with the PS. Overall impression was good. Not a demanding player stick but not a forgiving stick like the pure aero. Extremely comfortable compared to the pure aero or pure drive. More control than the others too. Going to be an adjustment period with...

The first time I tried gut/poly at 53/50 in my old PB10 mid. Pure bliss from the first strike of the ball. Used Volkl gut17g and cyclone 17g.

Your contact is probably too close to your body and potentially late. Talk to a pro and have them take a look. No matter how stiff or flexible the frame is, your going to feel some discomfort without getting this corrected.

No worries hijacking the thread. I appreciate everyone's input. We are talking about moving out of the sticks next year. Definitely will be taking consideration of the tennis programs within the area we move to. Right now we would have to drive easily an hour-2 hours to get him into any quality...

Thanks! Went ahead and had them string it up with Hurricane since it was free. Never tried it in a full set up and it was the only poly out of the free choices. See how it goes. Probably going to put in isospeed cream or wilson revolve after this setup goes dead or breaks. Have a lot of those...

Playing doubles and finely realizing attacking the volley and not waiting on it. Wearing glasses has helped tremendously too.

Maybe he just had a lot on his mind or was confused. People with ADD are taken the wrong way sometimes. They can come across being rude without meaning to be.

RPM blast 52 lbs is working just fine at the net for me right now. Hit a really nasty drop volley yesterday, best one all summer :).

I would bump up the tension 3 -5 lbs.

Your review of the PS and the price $ has convinced me to add it to my bag. Looking forward to it. My go to racket right now is Pure Aero. Thinking the PS will give me a tad more control and consistency for a longer period time between string jobs. Love the Pure Aero just hate having to restring...

Thanks everyone for the replies. He does want to win at the higher level tournaments for his age group 14 right now and eventually play in college. He is working hard and putting some decent amount of time into his game on and off the court. I work with him personally 10-15 hours a week and he...

Microgel Radical OS has plenty of control for an oversize. My old 5.0+ hitting partner plays very well with it in stock. He plays an aggressive all court game.

Pretty much any 17g poly in the low 50's will give you what you are looking for if you have a full swing. Bump up your tension to 60 if you want to continue using multifilament. Isospeed control classic would be a good choice for mutli. Cyclone would be a good choice for poly.

Fellow tennis patron gave me a set of RPM for free to try out so I strung it up at 52lbs. Very impressive performance and comfort. This is my new favorite set up in this racket. Not sure I will be purchasing this over Wilson Revolve because of the price point but there is no doubt RPM is a...

Looking for some experienced advice. What would be the best route to get your child playing at a high performance tournament level? I simply don't have the time or financial status to quite working to invest time into my son's game. Would putting your child through one or two months of an...

Tried this out 3 weeks ago at 50lbs. Had to cut them out after one outing, too much power. Very nice soft plush feel to them but needs to be strung above 55 for this racket. Really not sure why I strung it that low. I like my Wilson revolve set up at 56 too much to experiment any more with this...

Most big hitters I string for like NG 60 in the mains and Poly 58 in the crosses. Full set of NG at 65lbs should be fine. I would string no lower than 60 with NG if you have a full and fast swing.

Wilson Revolve 16g at 56 is working well for me. Best set up so far. Firm but comfortable and consistent feedback. 8 hours into string job now without any noticeable changes in playability. I will be sticking with this set up until I am ready to change rackets.

If you are serious about wanting to learn the serve, pay a qualified coach for help. There is a lot going on right now in your motion. You need to start from scratch, if you want a reliable weapon. You appear to be athletic, so you should be able to create a foundation to build quickly.

I appreciate the feel of volkl and prince rackets(with the grommets). Much different feel than those?

I have been eyeballing the website and thinking about purchasing one of these. How forgiving is the sweet spot for the 97 without lead? Do these racket give a plush solid feel or the more modern tinny feel when making contact with the ball?

Confirmed these rackets do burn through strings fast. Tension goes much faster for me too, compared to my other 16x19 rackets. The more open grommets seem to be causing this. Not that big of a deal to me. Probably forcing me to restring full set poly's when I should be any ways. Cyclone 16g is...

Good motion, overall. Push up towards the ball and get your toss location not so far behind you, if you are trying to hit a flatter serve. It is easier to produce a kick with your current toss location but it is predictable to other players.

Love it. Nice stable shots. My offensive slice is nasty. Flat and topspin pretty good too, but the slice is very satisfying.

Test drove this racket today. Versatile and easy to use from every where on the court. Spin, control, and power are all there. Comfortable in my opinion. This was the first time I have played with the aero line. Very impressive racket.

Used that racket for over a year. Preferred the lead at the 12oclock. Performed best for me with a low powered 17g poly strung around 52lbs. Wilson ripspin was my favorite. My one handed back hand had plenty of control with this set up.

Switched over to this a couple of months ago. Modified to about the same spec your playing with. Plays like a dream. Larger head size has improved my net game a lot. Still experimenting with string setups. Racket plays well with whatever I have put in it. Not string sensitive at all.
