I'm very surprised at how difficult this string was to put in a very tight 18x20 i. Prestige. I've never had a stiffer string to weave the cross-strings. I have not received any feedback yet from the owner of the racquet but I won't be happy if the owner decides to stick with Lynx Touch. Has...

I'm currently in possession of the Elevate Tour v3. Diadem hybrid string job felt relatively new but not crisp. I hit twice off the ball machine and played a doubles match. I currently play with a HEAD i.radical OS which is an 18x19 pattern. I hit relatively flat with an eastern/continental...

HEAD Instinct Team L modified to 11oz.

SIX YEARS since that original post about what OS racquets are good for senior players that still have strokes. For the past two years, I have been playing with HEAD i.Radical Oversize (modified). I also had double knee replacement surgery and I am much more mobile around the court now. I am not...

If you were to string your UT with just gut, you would string it at 60+ to control it. Tommy Haas used to string his Prestige Pro's at close to 75. So, if you are going to put gut in and you don't want balls lauched, then string the gut at 58 and then string the poly at what you'd normally...

Thank you. I have the same callus but pain when pushed upon. I'll see my surgeon.

I just had this surgery and I am not happy at 8 weeks post op. I may have injured it when I tried hitting lightly at the 5-week mark but now I have a noticeably raised BUMP right where the A1 Pulley release surgery was done. Maybe I injured another tendon but I believe it could all be from using...

I've played both Element and Ghostwire as crosses in a hybrid, but the mains weren't gut. With gut, I would think your primary goal would be "playability duration" and if that's the case, you want the Ghostwire. Element bagged out too soon for me.

Did you buy from a guy named jayserinos99 or similar? He has great references. Did you buy. How did you do the transaction to protect yourself?

Just wondering. I've read the reviews and in my opinion, I wouldn't be able to tame the full 28 inches of this frame. I've cut racquets down in the past but would shortening it to 27.3 kill the power and stability?

I pre-stretch the Kevlar. It seems to cut down on the initial tension loss much better. I've never noticed a BIG gain in power from Kevlar.

Agree 100%. Doubles is anything but monotonous. However, the average point lasts for a mere 4 shots. Doubles also requires a deft understanding of your location on the court. Sure, I agree lobs are an important and vital shot to have. Subsequently, having an overhead is just as important. When I...

For the price, I'd have to second the Prince Warrior 100. Just a really good frame.

As a former "almost exclusively singles" player to the doubles world, I think there are some distinct advantages to certain "more forgiving" frames. Given your current racquet of choice, might I recommend a Yonex Ezone 100? Volleys with this frame seem almost easy. In my humble opinion there are...

Is he playing with an old school PRINCE?

I cannot believe the Ultra Tour GAVE you tennis elbow. What string and tension were you using?

i.radical OS for me recently. Snagging those BBAY cheaply

Yonex Vcore Pro 97 310.......................I've never hit better backhands.......but Volleys were not on par.

Wilson Ultra Tour/Pro is closest in my opinion

GO BMS

Gravity S Ezone 100 Head Radical S HEAD Extreme S

Don't take our word for it. Go to Tennis Warhouse and look at the string reviews. Then look at "Playability Duration". I think the clear winner here is Solinco Confidential at 88/100. Like others have said, give it a good pre-stretch and you'll be happy for a good long time. To me, Confidential...

Oh boy! As you can see from my profile, I've been playing with a 97-inch head size. Not exactly a senior doubles stick. The frame has been customized for me. When I am "on-balance" I can open up the court and hit some nice volleys too. The issue is I'm not always on balance. Taking YOGA to...

I've been trying everything in my UT. Yes, it's modified. Started with a Gut/poly. Went to Kevlar. Went to NXT. Tried a HEAD multi. Against my better judgement, I went to a full bed of Yonex 18-gauge poly and took it down to 44lbs. It plays fantasitc....BUT....I just hate that I'm going to take...

You can see my review in the Customer Comments. I was pleasantly surprised with this frame and I use a 1/2" Grip too. I used an overgrip on the demo.

I demoed the Dunlop CX 200 OS. I provided a "Customer Feedback Comment" within the racquet section. I was very impressed with the feel and ease of use. Sweetspot felt generous/forgiving. My only downside was lack of plow when hitting against a hard hitter. I'd add weight. As noted earlier, I...

Try the Wilson Ultra Tour, 97". Can't buy on TW but if you are a resourceful online shopper they are out there and around $100. I bought mine from Canada (hint). OR you could but the new Ultra Pro directly from Wilson.

As a senior "doubles-only" player I've gone back and forth with large frames but my two favorites were the POG and the Dunlop 300G 105" because I could play full swing tennis. I cannot play with those super light stiff frames but if you think only low-average seniors play with them, do yourself...

Trav. I just read your entire saga here. We play with the same frame but I am much older than you. I play exclusively on clay and if nobody else told you this, then if you want more power on clay without messing with the racquet is to simply adjust your tension downward. Don't mess up your...

Have two of these frames. Both weighted to 12.1oz. Strung with Ashway. Tried other strings and poly just felt dead to me. Put Natural Gut in another and foolishly didn't pre-stretch only to have the cheap natty gut stretch to unplayability. Enjoying the superb playability duration with these...
