Somewhere between your Radical and all the other racquets you mentioned. I grew up in the nCode and GT eras and I haven't gotten myself used to much dampening tech, and I think the 2019s work great. I like that it's less harsh than Radicals or Whiteouts while still giving me a fairly crispy...

Still waiting for the Project One 7 to get the flax thingies

Yep, if you're an American and you hate Shelton you hate growing our sport here. I don't make the rules.

Wonder if that's why it was taken down. Sounds like an unfortunate and untimely manufacturing issue.

Marcel Granollers too but it might just be those two on the main circuit.

That's it

Prince Synergy if you can find one

Turns out Beckett was prepping a video on this exact issue

How do they see the 98 living into the Pure Drive identity? And how are they as a brand trying to position three powerful 98s so that they don't cannibalize each other?

This is why you’re the king. Interesting they’re so similar this generation. Sounds like people interested in the TFight line can just go to whatever balance, weight, or string pattern they’re used to without overcomplicating it

Could someone describe who the TFight 315 might be for? I know the 305 gets a lot of love but the 315 looks fun to me as a former Pure Storm/Pure Control user, but I don't see a lot of discussion about where it fits in the market. I guess it also looks a little Pro Staffy. How spin friendly is it?

He said the thing!

I think america needs more of this in general. Doubly so if tennis is involved.

When I was in high school I liked cyclone. I gave mine to someone but if I still had em I’d try Grapplesnake Alpha no question and I think that fits your friend’s description.

In another sad blow for Prince fans, Joran Vliegen has moved to Yonex

Tommy Paul and Jordan Thompson are two. I think I remember seeing Tsitsipas is exploring it.

Necessity is the mother of invention and all that. COVID made balls much slower and pros need to reclaim some advantage. If you're not evolving you're devolving. On the recreational level, it only helps that polys are getting better and better with fewer and fewer tradeoffs, making it easier...

All the Hyper G recommendations in this thread were spot on. It's not very exciting to say Hyper G works well but it does. The round crosses are a gamechanger too

I think your best bet is to look for a ported Beast 100 in the secondhand market, but there's not a lot of them. The Textreme Warrior 100 is probably your best bet for buying new. The white and black branding was intentional, signaling that the White and Black lines were getting funneled into...

I have to imagine if you were able to do a whole PD98 playtest, the 100 shouldn't give you an issue... But if you're not that unhappy with your current racquet, maybe not worth the risk? Have you thought about going back to your Strike 16x20s for a spin? I couldn't find what issues you wound...

Based on other posts of yours I feel like we have similar racquet tastes, so I'm tempted to tell you to just go for it because that will be informative for me lol. My main takeaway a few weeks after the Pure Drive 98 playtest also is, "oh boy maybe I should just be a Pure Drive player after...

I’m taking a hard look at these coming from the gel res 9, but I need to wait for a discount or something because oof. Adidas usually fits me well but I haven’t worn an Adidas tennis shoe since like 2018 so we’ll see

I'm begrudgingly beginning to agree with this. Love Pouille and all but he's not Novak.

Ah missed that. Thanks, saves me a silly post here in the future lol

This is what I've been waiting for. Gonna try a couple sets, one full bed and for adding a little zing to M8. Might be a good time to try some silver Game Changer too based on some above reviews

I have another thought upon second reading of your post. If you really have only found consistency issues with the 16x19s on putaway shots, it might not be the string pattern. If you just said "on putaway shots I'm consistently hitting a little long and can't penetrate the court without sailing...

There's a lot more that goes into stringbed consistency than just the number of mains and crosses. You've picked a couple launchy 16x19s in the Speed and VCore. Works well for some, not weird that they don't feel right for you. There are some pretty non-launchy 16x19s like the Strikes and...

I will say I like the launch colors quite a bit

I'm astonished at how few Ezones I see around me. Mostly women actually.
