    Wilson Blade V9 2024

    The v9 blade felt considerably more head heavy compared to v8 in both string patterns that I tried. Did anyone else experience this?

    Wilson Blade 2024

    I actually thought the v8 was a big step up from v7. The v7 felt like they took the clash and carved a blade from it. It was heavy but all that flex zapped the power out of it. The frame bending so much on contact hurt the stability. The v8 was easier to use but I wish they kept the swing weight...

    Wilson Blade 2024

    I finally saw the v9 blade in person. It’s pretty much like the pics and descriptions here. It is a dark teal color in the same type of paint as the v8 but without the color shifting. It has an orange W on one side of the throat which looks a bit odd. It’ll match my strings of choice nicely.

    Playing with Multiple Sclerosis

    I should specify that I haven’t yet been diagnosed with MS. During my original post I had just gotten out the ER and the neurologist was fairly certain about MS since I had a few dormant lesions on the brain and active lesions on spine. On December 6 I saw another neurologist who thought my...

    Head Auxetic Radical

    Well I got to play the new auxectic radical pro and definitely prefer it over the old bright orange one. The old one has a dead muted feel. The new one feels crisper, more responsive and better on off center hits. They were both underspec with swing weight. The old one was 310 with dampener and...

    Playing with Multiple Sclerosis

    I was wondering if anyone here has MS or similar neurological/autoimmune problems and how they were able to continue playing tennis. I got weak legs and balance with some numbness in the leg.

    Yonex Vcore Pro 97 330 - Matte Green

    I like the duel g better than the 2019 green pro. They aren’t super different but enough where you’ll notice it. The main difference is the string pattern launch angle. I mostly play doubles where I have to hit into small windows. The 2019 has a much higher launch angle and I couldn’t control my...

    Is HyperG Soft significantly lighter than HyperG?

    Hyper g 20 gauge is where it’s at. I can’t wait for solinco to come out with hyper g soft 20 gauge the next goat string!

    Don't play Hyper-G 1.25, play HEAD Lynx Tour 1.25 ...

    Can anyone chime in on yonex poly tour spin and how it compares to hyper g and lynx tour? Is it heavy like lynx tour or light?

    I used to have 3 TF 40 315s and they were all 343 grams with strings, overgrip and dampener.

    cyclone 19 g strings. am I crazy or is it hard to hit flat with these strings

    Which color do you use? I use cyclone 19 gauge in orange and love it. I tried the black color in 18 gauge and couldn’t play with it. You can try cyclone in 18 gauge as a compromise. The black was significantly inferior to the other colors lol.

    2021 Yonex VCore 95

    I finally got to try this racquet and was impressed. It’s not too far off from my duel g 330. The swing weight was only 310 but it delivered power, control, spin with a connected feel. It had some instability on off center hits but still hit above its weight class. I’d be interested in trying it...

    Modern alternative to Wilson Six.One 95 18X20? Blade's and VCORE's aren't making the cut.

    I’d say my yonex duel g 330 is similar to a 6.1 but they don’t make those anymore.

    PS97 V13 weight 350 but Swing weight only 309

    My old RF 97 had a 318 SW so this doesn’t surprise me.

    Hyper-G vs RPM Blast

    I like hyper g better. It has more spin and really grabs the ball (dwell time) Rpm goes dead way too fast especially for the price. Fresh rpm may be better than hyper g but 5 hours later not so much. I’d go with cyclone or black night over rpm for the value, grab, spin, and comfort.

    Anyone playing 18g or 19g poly in an open pattern frame ?

    I would suggest using 17 gauge in an open pattern. A thin string will lack control and stability in your new racquet. The good news is there are way more string options for thickish strings. Only a few companies like Volkl, solinco, kirshbaum make good thin poly.

    Yonex racquets ?

    I’d add that the racquets have changed over the years. I much prefer the racquets from a couple generations ago. Their were plenty of 16x20s and mids with a firm direct feel. I thought the vcore pro 97d or hd would be similar to my duel g 330 but it’s completely different. The 18x20 feels like a...

    In case you were wondering whether Raducanu or Djokovic was the bigger US Open story...

    Radicanu and medvedev were both amazing and very dominant throughout the tournament. The best of five format ultimately hurt djokovic since he was on court much more than med. Med claimed to be cramping up at the end. Djokovic legs were also done halfway through the match.

    Daniil Medvedev will thwart Djokovic on Sunday

    Brad Gilbert with the jinx. Med won’t even win a set he said. After reading some of the comments it seems a few of the guys here were also a bit off in their predictions.

    Alright guys.

    Why was he so pissed at the end of the match? He was killing Berrentini but he acted like he overcame some huge obstacle. Someone in the crowd yelled during his serve causing him to pause and put up his hands. He then hit one of berrentini misses into the umpire chair nearly taking out a ball...

    If the US Open is any indication of the future Tennis won't survive

    The last few days have had some unexpected results with top seeds going down. I mean last year players refused to play for political reasons or they didn’t like press conferences. How many fans enjoy that?

    NEW Prestige MP 360

    The new cap bumper is a dark grey or anthracite color with a smooth matte finish. It contrasts with the black hoop of the racquet.

    NEW Prestige MP 360

    Ah so they just swapped the names around? I remember the new pro having an 18x20 and the new mp being lighter with bigger head etc. I could’ve sworn the new pro had a 95 head and thicker than 20 mm head though.

    2021 Yonex VCore Pro Official Thread

    Yeah low swing weight. I strung it with hyper g soft 18 gauge and no dampener. The TW people typically use heavier strings but it wouldn’t be more than 325. I use to have the previous version of this model and it was 329 SW with a O dampener.

    NEW Prestige MP 360

    Yes it is very similar to the gt paint job. It looked more glossy than the gt. It has a simple classic pj with mostly black paint. The logos were in red. The pro is supposed to have 18x20 pattern. The rest of the line is lighter and no more thin beams. It seemed like they streamlined the line...

    2021 Yonex VCore Pro Official Thread

    Yeah the rep said the new prestige comes out in November. The new paint job looks much better. It’s black with the logo in red. They made changes to the specs.
