    Swing weight estimate

    How do you know that? Have you measured it or are you simply guessing? It is possible to calculate the sw increase by using the info you provided, but if you don't have the original sw it is impossible to estimate the final sw.

    What are the levels of these 2? (Full set video)

    That explains a lot. His intensity is very low. Anyway... another clear sign of a good player, imo, is how relaxed he is on court. There are people watching him play, he's getting filmed, those are competitive matches etc. All those factors don't seem to impact his game, as he's casually...

    What are the levels of these 2? (Full set video)

    It takes more than analyzing technique or how fast they serve, how hard they hit the ball etc to evaluate someone's playing level. Especially when the video is of a competitive tennis match. The tall guy clearly is a good player. He has a good first serve, he attacks weak serves by his...

    2023 Roland Garros SF: [1] Carlos Alcaraz vs. [3] Novak Djokovic

    Balls must be absolutely flying, cause Carlos is standing as far back as Medvedev to return Djokovic's serves.

    Roland Garros R16: Novak Djokovic vs. Juan Pablo Varillas

    I've watched Varillas practicing at Rio Open. Hits what looked like a very heavy ball and has an outstanding reaction time.

    2023 Roland Garros - Men's Singles

    I sincerely hope that there are younger players copying Fed's/Dimitrov's technique somewhere, so that when Dimitrov retire, it won't be lost forever. Grigor surely does choke many matches and failed to deliver what many people expected from him, but there's something special about the way he...

    Let's be real we can't play with prestige's

    My i. prestige's are wonderful to hit with, but I can't stand playing more than 1 set with them nowadays. It's a shame, because I really really enjoy them. I'm currently using the extreme tour (g360+ version), but I wish I had a g360+ or auxetic prestige mp/pro (18x20) to demo. If the 98" head...

    Head i. prestige mp user considering a switch to gravity pro - opinions plz

    I haven't tried the new prestige pro, but I almost got a pair of the g360+ prestige mp without a demo (18x20, 320g, renamed to "pro" on the current line up) before I tried the extreme tour. I remember the gpro always felt clunky and my 2hbh never felt the same as with the i. prestige mp. Last...

    Head i. prestige mp user considering a switch to gravity pro - opinions plz

    I kept using the gravity pro for approximately 10 or 12 months, I believe, until I started feeling some shoulder pain when serving. Never felt anything like that before. The gravity pro had a metalic feel and felt harsh in my opinion, even though people like to praise it's comfort on these...

    Head Auxetic Radical

    Head has improved it's quality control. My graphene 360+ extreme tours were 1.5g and 6 sw pts apart. It was very easy to match the pair. Do you plan to measure sw on your radicals?

    BRIFFIDI - SW1 Racquet Swingweight Machine

    I plan to use it with right-side release. It will fit better on my tennis table. Btw, I'm the brazilian customer who had it delivered to New Orleans. I still haven't had the time to pick it up on my friend's house. Can't wait to match my racquets. :D

    HEAD Extreme 360+ tour club?

    I like this frame so much that now I'm almost buying another pair, this time the nite edition. Question to nite edition users: does the glossy black paint highlight any scratch or chip? I like the regular version, but black racquets are much cooler. The regular paint is nice at disguising...

    HEAD Extreme 360+ tour club?

    Second hitting session yesterday. On my first try I used the racquet almost stock - only a leather grip added -, and it felt good, but not impressive. For my second experience with this frame I decided to add 4g at 3 and 9, which was the most popular customization I've seen people doing to...

    HEAD Extreme 360+ tour club?

    Bought a pair last sunday and got to hit with them yesterday for the first time. Added a leather grip, but no further customizations. Racquet felt very easy to use and the launch angle is right on my wheelhouse. It really lacks stability in stock form. I'll add lead for my next hitting...

    Which way to go next: graphene 360+ extreme tour vs prestige?

    Thanks for your input! You convinced me. Bought the pair because it was a good offer, and I could flip'em very easily in case I don't make the switch. I'll try factory specs first (maybe add a leather grip), and add lead to match my target specs on the second try. I liked how the blades felt...

    Which way to go next: graphene 360+ extreme tour vs prestige?

    Got offered a pair of ET G360+ for a good price. They're in 9/10 condition, and I believe I could sell my pair of blades for more money. Almost pulling the trigger... Staying on the prestige course or switching to a more modern approach? Decisions, decisions...

    Which way to go next: graphene 360+ extreme tour vs prestige?

    A friend of mine has the v8 blade, but I didn't like it very much. Yes, I guess I could look for the prestige S or MP-L. I read the "S" version is pretty good, but is it close enough to the old prestiges? Does it have the "prestige feel"? If it does, I guess it really fits the bill, since it...

    Which way to go next: graphene 360+ extreme tour vs prestige?

    Hey folks, After a brief period (~1 year) using a pair of 18x20 v7 blades, I'm planning to go back to head racquets. Every time I pick my i. prestige's for matchplay I miss the extra plushness, control and fast swing it has (although it sits at 352g ready to play, cause they have a leather...

    How does the graphene 360+ MP compare to the classics? I'm a (former?) i. prestige MP user because of lack of forgiveness, but those 98" prestige mp's got my attention. I'm almost buying a used pair.

    Head Auxetic Extreme line update?

    I hope it's a good racquet, but that PJ looks bad imo. I also believe those extreme paintjobs (pun intended) limit sales on some racquet models that would be a huge sucess if painted in more neutral colors. A lot of ppl simply prefer neutral colors. Head would benefit greatly going into the...

    Diary of a Racketaholic

    Gotta say I had forgotten how a crisp racquet feels. Been playing with my blade v7's for ~a year now, and before that I used the gravity pro for a couple of months, switching from my i. prestiges (which I used for about 4-5 years). I don't know if it's a keeper or not. Gotta hit a few more...

    Diary of a Racketaholic

    First my new six one 18x20 got a leather grip added (black oehms leather). Next I strung it with t1 black knight at 51 lbs and added half an overgrip. Total weight is currently 348g. Tomorrow I'll test a six one for the first time.

    Diary of a Racketaholic

    My 6.1 weights 328g unstrung. I guess it's enough of a margin for a leather grip.
