Colder weather and end of ladders has impacted my ability to see the impact of recommended rackets. I tried VCore but really waiting for more matches to schedule tests with Boom Pro or Pure Strike as once I get a demo need to use it to arrive at a decision. Got a Used TF 305 18x20 based on...

You are right, it was HL but essentially it felt heavy and cannot recollect why. The description above makes sense. Its an interesting variable to see how many point HL is a stick, although my hunch is its 5% of the entire calculation.

Hmm.. you intrigue me. I have one stick unsold on ****, can you pls confirm what you reccomend. 2g Lead stickers exactly where and what total statis wt are we targetting? I can experiment in parallel.

@fuzz nation Will keep it in my second list as demos are set for now based on Trips advice. I also got to experience Ezone yesterday with a Japanese partner (apparently thats the most common there) and that stick was a litle light. Honestly, I used the advice by @gfwp and Pro Staff X came alive...

That is impressive that you morphed into the modern game, and even more that you coach and keep up with young ones. It is also funny you mentioned Volkl C10, I missed that in my demo list. Actually bought the stick without demoing as there was a good sale at Tennis Point, its a yellow frame...

Let me add Pure Strike 3d to my demo list that am just about to place. Thanks a ton.

What tension and exact string do you have on your PS X? Are you a FH thumper or S&V?

I need to test drive Babolot if Prince does not get me there. Just been scared of TE, am not anyway interested in blasting balls of the court. Your post confused me, so you think 325 SW but Head MP is quite light at 315g strung. @Trip is right that my preference is for heavier sticks, even my...

Got it, one new stick is on its ways and am going to work with the PS X- stay the course for 20 hours min. I will also try Prince ATS. Agree, strings is 40-50% of the difference maker on how far and high it goes,

I hear you but am extremely fit for my age group, 4 days a week on the court and 3 days in the gym with weights. Have had the same racket for 10 years, or the same type. I have endless videos of mylsef in matches hoping to improve technique, but alas am not an athlete who can pick up skills at...

Radical is where I started 20+ years back and still have one old version. I tried Gravity and other modern lines from Head, hated them as they did not have the "feel" of Blade. Let me give it shot once I go through Trips list starting with Prince.

Maybe the strings was the issue as none of the demos from TW provide the string tension or maybe I did not see hard enough. If I get one locally, they always put it on the sticker. I have a running list of strings and play results on my Blade but will obviously need to alter my set up based on...

Thank you, will try the Boom Pro as the Ezone playtest was average for me.

Sir, I would love to send you a thank you card. You have responded to others as well in intricate details. This is amazing information and you took so much time to craft this. Appreciate you, very much. I will try one by one of these, starting with the Prince as per the well detailed...

Active 4.0(USTA 3.75) in DC/VA area and won 80% of my ladder matches in last 3 years. My stock rackets were WIlson Blade V6 and V8, but have now sold most of them as was not able to hang in with the 4.5 with control. My style is Eastern FH, 2HBH with flat forehands mixed with a ton of drop...

Thanks never heard of the brand, will do.

Can you explain premium of an oversize? Isnt more surface area equals less momentum/ force distribution assuming everything else is fairly equal?

Thanks @gfwp . Agree that PS X is a impressive equipment for those coming from Blade. My question still remains for @DanteTheGreat

@DanteTheGreat Can you pls update this thread on your decision? I am in a similar situation and really love the demo of PS X coming from a Blade. Interested to know if you tried other rackets and any details on your path to this.

Interesting advice. There were a few reviews here on BP that its less than a Blade on power/control. Curious do you use it and what is your style? I have a significantly tough time hanging with guys with heavy rackets.

Let me try the 315. TY so much.

Well written summary! This is what I wanted to know. Any racket where one has to customise to me is difficult as dont have any of the scales or stringing machines. Maybe will try T-Fight 305 as found TF40 too muted, had to generate power. Play with a Blade for many years and want to move to a...

What or when are happy hours? If you can give a likely window, will help.

Thank you so much for the quick reply. Have been on Wilson Blade V8 for 2 years and Blade V6 for many years prior so thought this might be more lighter, yet good power stick. Did this have foam fill to thwart the feedback or was your TE more technique related?

@Birdwatcher @leojramirez Are you still hitting with this stick? Any updates please?

Honestly, I never liked Wilson sticks. Started with Dunlop in 88, moved to Head Radical and then stuck to different Head lines UNTIL I demoed Blade v6 no CV. Dang my game went up by 15% with no difference in technique. It was a game changer and having met more than 100+ guys on different...

Got to hit yesterday, smooth power through the ball and effortless ability to block balls to BH from inside out hits from opponents. The serve alone lacks pop.

Based on your post, just bought a couple of used V8 16 x 19 from @Shiro178 . Moving from Blade V6 and hoping to see similar outcome.

Please let us know any updates @staryugi

Did you get V6 with out without CV?
