    2023 Yonex VCore Pro Racquets / 2024 Percept Racquets

    No I haven't sry. I came from a speed pro and wanted something quite more manoeuvrable for my BH, so didn't think of trying anything on or over 330sw. But, ike I told you, my method of measuring was DIY and I assume it was off from reality but it was fairly replicable. It put me quite below my...

    2023 Yonex VCore Pro Racquets / 2024 Percept Racquets

    I added 3g at 3 and 9 (6g overall) and even though I didn't measure before I got 323-324 (two rackets) sw after (using the TWU method so can't fully rely on it). I didn't hate the original balance or sw but did feel a bit unstable on the OHBH on contact. I do think a 306 sw should be a gross...

    2023 Yonex VCore Pro Racquets / 2024 Percept Racquets

    Sorry I didn't measure them, I played with it a couple times and busted out the lead tape immediately. You can play with it stock, but it was too unstable for my OHBH.

    2023 Yonex VCore Pro Racquets / 2024 Percept Racquets

    Now that I see the specs written down together, I realise I just got to a 97D with a 16x19 pattern, which I actually dig! But I would love to get access to a proper measuring machine to be sure.

    2023 Yonex VCore Pro Racquets / 2024 Percept Racquets

    308 and 309 were my stock unstrung static weights. After strings (hawk touch 1.25), an overgrip, dampener and 4g of lead tape, it ended up at 336g and 337g, sw (calculated using swingtool) ended up at 329 and 330. I estimate the actual sw to be a little bit lower, but that's where I ended up...

    2023 Yonex VCore Pro Racquets / 2024 Percept Racquets

    I got two P97s and after trying (only a bit) to play them stock, I just added 5g at 3&9 and it really improved, became much more stable while remaining whippy. My raquets were a bit under spec tho (308 and 309) tho, but I still suggest you try to add at least the tiniest bit to the head, it...

    2023 Yonex VCore Pro Racquets / 2024 Percept Racquets

    Added 5g at 3 and 9 and just an overgrip for now. Remains quite manoeuvrable but gains a lot of stability to the sides of the sweetspot. I think that I will add only a tad more to 3 and 9 or test 10 and 2 with a bit in the grip for balance and recoil, but it does seem like a racquet that wants...

    Polytour Pro vs Hawk Touch

    Hey, before buying the P97 and looking a t the specs, I thought the same thing you just told me. I believe now that the RA number only tells part of the story. The percept is much more flexible at the neck with a stiffer face and the sweetspot is much softer IMO, while using the same strings...

    Polytour Pro vs Hawk Touch

    You're right about my speed, but I was able to get some spin out of it anyway. I think gut is out of the question (Mrs is vegan lol) but I will try some thinner gauges. I ordered some Hyper G soft and will take it from there. Also I added 5g on 3 and 9 and the stability increased quite a bit...

    Polytour Pro vs Hawk Touch

    Thanks for the advice! I tried poly-multi hybrids with my speed quite a few times, and even though I really enjoyed the comfort, I found multis to be way too powerful, and also not as durable. I was restringing every 2-3hs and I can't afford living like that. I moved to a full bed of hawk touch...

    Polytour Pro vs Hawk Touch

    I'll look into the Poly tour Rev. I've tried many multifilaments and even tho they are very nice on the arm, I can't gel with the power and more importantly, can't afford to restring that often. Thanks for the advice!

    Polytour Pro vs Hawk Touch

    I see! If I could bother you some more, could you provide another option for me?

    Polytour Pro vs Hawk Touch

    Hello, I'd like to ask the forum if anyone can compare the Yonex Polytour Pro and the Head Hawk Touch for me. I have been using Hawk Touch for a while now in my Head Speed Pro (g360+) and just moved to a Yonex Percept 97. Since the Percept is already soft enough on impact I'm not appreciating...

    More maneovreable option to Speed Pro - Altitude is killing me!

    Hello! Looking for some advice, I currently play with a 2020 Head Speed pro with Hawk Touch 17 strung at 48lbs. I think (haven't had a chance to rate officially) I play around the 4.0-4.5 american level. Played tennis all my life but right now I'm challenged by living at extreme altitude in...
