    Yonex Duel G310

    This is exactly what the Duel G 310 felt like, "hollow", funny feeling, more power and that translates to serving and hitting bigger. At first I kind of like this extra juice, sacrificing good feeling, but the moment I started playing real match a lot of balls went long and I lost confidence...

    Yonex Duel G310

    Here, check out my report on the Duel G 310. I pass! In my view, it's a disappointment. Paint job is the only nice thing about these Duel G sticks. In a way this is good because it's not tempting me to buy new rackets. :) Just stick with the Tour G as they are very good sticks. My hitting...

    The Cult of PT57

    Check out the Angell rackets threads. The TC95 strung is supposedly below 60 RA. With the Angell, you can order them with different specs...aka customized. On the other hand, with the PT630, depending on which generation, you can use different grommets with vastly different weight such that...

    Angell TC95 16x19 flexy shakedown

    Thank you @Backhanded Compliment. I thought you own some PT630 but you only hit with it once. Some of your observations about the PT630 are consistent with the norm (i.e. buttery soft yet solid that doesn't need vibration dampener). But I guess for comparison with the TC95, looks like that's...

    Angell TC95 16x19 flexy shakedown

    @Backhanded Compliment Please do direct comparison with the Pro Tour 630 or 280 in terms of sweet spot size, flex, power, control, and maneuverability (whippy). Thanks! Like you said in your first few posts, your ideal racket seems like the PT630 with 16x19 or open string pattern. Well, I like...

    Yonex VCore Duel G

    Background: I've been playing with the Tour G 310 with leather grip, overgrip, and full poly at 48lb since last summer and I love it. I can say that this racket helped me with my technique and improved my game dramatically. I'm legit 4.5, all around game, one handed backhand. Before the Tour G...

    The Cult of PT57

    If you guys really, I mean really, want to get Head to re-release the PT630/280, then someone should setup some kind of petition and then try to get hundreds of thousands of signatures. Maybe then Head would consider it. But, the Head honcho (pun intended), aka CEO, might not want to...

    Head PT280: Comparable Head sticks?

    I had been using the PT630 / PT280 for a very very long time and last year decided to try some new rackets cuz my game was sort of stuck. Sometime I played well and sometime not with the PT but I stuck with it for a very long time. Last year I found a replacement! Check out the Yonex Vcore...

    New Yonex Line 2016?

    someone should send a tweet to Stan and see how much input he had with creation of the Duel G line. Send it with some sort of sarcasm.

    New Yonex Line 2016?

    Wow, talk about white lies! I am so sick of the tennis industry fooling innocent, non-hardcore tennis fans into buying new rackets believing that they are the same ones from their heroes. Don't get me wrong, I am playing with the vcore tour g 310 and love it. I think Yonex currently makes the...

    Best strings for VCore Tour G 330

    Ok. I will help out a Yonex VCore Tour G fellow. I play with the 310 version, but they both should be very similar. I found that the best setups are: 1) full poly 17g that are low or moderately low powered as you said you can supply it yourself. Tennis should be play that way anyway. You...

    'Natural Gut Wholesale' Review (Stringing and Play)

    What's the highest tension have you guys done with the GG 17g? I have gone to max recommended of 55lb. I will go up a couple pounds more and see.

    The gut/poly thread

    Have you tried Kirschbaum Pro Line X 17g? From TW Uni String database and reviews, its tension maintenance is a bit better than Black Zone. These are pre-stretched so it would stay consistent longer. And I like how the reviewers said that it's crisp. I love crisp strings! Also, the price is...

    The gut/poly thread

    Thanks for the feedback. From looking at TW Uni string database, the Black Zone is supposed to have really good tension maintenance. I will keep your note in mind when I start testing GG/black zone or poly professional. Black zone sounds like a really good candidate for poly cross in the...

    The gut/poly thread

    Hi 0d1n, I am using GG for main and am looking for long maintenance poly cross. I actually have Gosen Polyquest and Tourna Blackzone which I got just for that purpose. I haven't used them in a while as I was playing full poly this summer, but now I am back to gut/poly hybrid. So, I was...

    Yonex VCore Tour G

    No I did not bother. My friend was already hitting with the 310 and I borrowed and liked it. Plus, with the 330 if I add leather (~19g), overgrip (~5g), and string (~17g), it would be in the 370g range. That's a lot of racket and no room to add lead tape. The PT630's I was playing with were...

    Yonex VCore Tour G

    Long time Pro Tour 630 user here. I've switched to the Tour G 310 for about couple of months now. Awesome stick! In comparison to the Pro Tour 630, the Tour G 310 is: more powerful, same level of control, much easier to swing (I added leather grip. One stick has no lead tape while the other...

    *****THE OFFICIAL HEAD PRO TOUR 630/280 Club*************

    I see you have experienced that feeling. Now, try the setup below and let us know how you feel. String the PT280 full poly (brand of strings don't matter much), 17g or thinner, at 40lbs (main and cross) or something as low as that and report back Be amazed with every solid hit. Very...

    Crispy/Firm 18g Poly that hold tension longest for crossing with gut

    Anyone got suggestion for 18g smooth poly that hold tension the longest? This is for crossing with the gut on main because I'm using soft and dense string pattern racket, ProTour 630. I prefer crispy and firm string as it will be strung low, in the low 40lb. Right now, I'm trying Gosen...

    *****THE OFFICIAL HEAD PRO TOUR 630/280 Club*************

    Is the Setup # with gut/poly kind of on the tight side? I don't think I can get the ball across the net with string it that tight for a dense pattern racket. When I do gut/poly, it's around 50lb gut / 46lb poly.

    *****THE OFFICIAL HEAD PRO TOUR 630/280 Club*************

    Hey JT_2eighty, I've referred to your past posts for some advices too. And my experience and observation are similar to yours. That's my plan, to put 18g Tourbite on and see. Is that 39lbs for both main and cross? or 39 main and 37 cross? I know what you mean about precision. I'd tried some...

    *****THE OFFICIAL HEAD PRO TOUR 630/280 Club*************

    I have found the perfect setup. Try this and thanks me later. Doesn't matter what version, PT280/630, Made in China or Austria, etc... Just try this setup: 1) DO NOT put the CAP on as it will make it very head heavy. Use the lightest grommet. Youtek Radical MP which is 18 gram. 2) Put...

    cheap nat gut?

    You should just keep quiet, cuz now the price for Global Gut is going to go up which it had already since I bought a load of it last year for dirt cheap. The best deal of the century ever, well not anymore.
