In regard to what’s easily buyable, I’m in north metro Atlanta. Excluding the small companies, I’d say everything except for Solinco and maybe certain Volkls are readily available. I haven’t been in a while, but in Marietta there’s a store that pushed Angell and Donnay racquets. There’s also a...

Is it worth it to upgrade to the octa from the hexa?

Update on this…I ended up going with Luxillon Adrenaline 17g @50 lbs. The string is decent but it’s best attribute is its feel.

I bought 5 or so Donnay Hexacore 100s, and all of them have a structural crack on the exterior above the throat now. The first I sent back and got a replacement, but it appears that they were just cheaply made. I have since switched away deciding if I want to go back to my pro ones or playing...

Thanks, just ordered some. We’ll see how it goes

Slippery in regards to ball bite. The SnapBack and subsequent spin was actually pretty good imo.

Awesome. I’ve been playing the past 3 weeks with Velocity mlt 17g mains with cream 17g crosses. I generally like this setup, but I do feel like it’s a bit too slippery. Current racquet is head gravity pro.

@tele, are you using 16 or 17g for this setup?

Update on this....long story short, 4G has given me quite the tennis elbow. Love the feel if the string, but I'm now looking for hybrid recommendations to soften this string bed up.

I 100% agree with this. I made the switch to the GPro a few months ago and it's complemented/improved my game immensely. It's an open 18x20 so it has the ability to hit both flat and heavy topspin shots. The new version is just a cosmetic update, so if you're lucky enough to find and older...

Just recently switched to the GP. So far I like 1.25 Lux 4G Rough @ 45 lbs. This setup however is very expensive and so I'm looking for a similar or better set up. This racquet rocks!

Found this thread after trying Wilson Revolve Spin. To say I’m disappointed may not do it justice. I tried this string as I’m looking for a decent alternative to Luxillon 4G. Wilson Revolve Spin is not low powered…it’s dead. It gives you nothing, even in a powerful racquet. Everything about my...

Good question

She’s winning her matches, but I think she played better with the Prince.

I owned A pair of the first gen for a while and liked them. I ended up selling them because my 2hbh wasn’t jiving with the 95 sq in head long term. I tried the current gen last year but didn’t like it as much.

Things are pretty open here in Georgia. I hit for a couple of hours today with a few friends.

Nah it’s all garbage tactics. Yonex’s QC was great back when every racquet was $199. It took one year of racquets escalating to $219 for companies to realize that adding an autograph to a racquet will up the price to $250 and people will pay that. And now every racquet producer not named Prince...

He’ll basically be forced to learn to utilize spin at least a little bit, especially with today’s Pure Aeros....else he’ll be terribly inconsistent and frustrated.

You definitely get more power and spin from the Donnay. The sweet spot is much larger on the Donnay (even though the Prince sweet spot isn’t small). My 2hbh feels awesome with the Donnay. The Donnay is more stable outside of the sweet spot. The frame is also thicker, which may also help with the...

I have two C10 pros that I no longer use. I am a currently in transition between the new donnay pro one hexacore and the Prince Phantom p100p. I haven’t tried the new phantoms yet, but in terms of the p100p, the C10 pro has much more power in my opinion. It’s also a bit heftier and cumbersome...

The hexacore unibody in my opinion is the best pro one in 7+ years.

I play with the donnay pro one hexacore unibody. It’s very string sensitive, but it’s amazing when you finally dial it in.

Oh my! Now that is something that I can get really excited about. Did they say when?

Atlanta is essentially the tennis capital of the country. I love that there is a TW store here now

I've been coming here for YEARS and didn't know this! A very very late Congratulations to you both!

What is the beam width of the new phantoms?

The pro one hexacore is my current racquet of choice. I really like it, but it took a month or so to adjust to it. I came from the prince phantom line. In terms of softness, I wouldn’t necessarily believe the hype. It can feel really good, but like many other racquets, it’s string sensitive...

Would you say the same thing about Sharapova?

Not new, but I have one and only played with it a few times...

Agree with the above. The pro one is highly string sensitive. I just sold an entire reel of string. It worked well for my old prince phantoms, but was too stiff for my donnays. I am now in the string tryout phase. A full bed of Tourna black zone has worked well so far, but I am still working on...
