i just ordered the 'unreleased' X-Platinum from Donnays website. I couldnt resist. Looks like even more of a players version of the dual plat http://www.donnayusa.com/shop/product.php?id=69

has it even been out for a year??

This is a great racket. I moved from the k88 to looking for something more headlight. I thought the BLX 90 or gamma tour 340 was the answer...then i tried this Donnay 94 which i really didnt want to like...but something about it...still its like i dont want it to be my choice but everytime i...

i am still using whatever it is that came with it...when those go which they should pretty soon i will string it like i do all my other sticks @ 54:40 with lux M2. my BH is feeling good with it now. i look forward to hitting with the platinum.

its definitely a bit harsher than the blx but my arm is fine. now that i have gotten used to the donnay i reeeeaally like it. the weighting is just right for me i think.

OK what i like about the donnay plat is that it is very thin and yet very strong. Kind of like a lazer. The blx 90 is more like a firm gummy bear. lol hope that helps.

hahhah :) its hard to say. I am pretty torn between the two sticks. My forehand feels better on the plat 94 but my 1 handed BH is better on the 90 BLX(and ever better on the 85 prostaff ). I like the modern feel of the platinum, and i think i definitely prefer it to the Gamma Tour 93. I...

I have been trying the Platinum 94. I really like it. I also like the BLX 90. I have been in the process of switching out of the KPS 88 to something more headlight for the past few months and I am ending up with quite an assortment of rackets.... Next thing i know the new prostaff 90 will be...

The only one that looks compelling is the platinum 94. i would like to see something more headlight. With these specs i dont really see the point, ill just stick with my Gamma tour or my BLX Tour, both thin beamed and more headlight.

What is going on with Donnay...they started looking great and i was really excited with the thin beam and the leather grips...now they are oversize?? bahhhh i dont think i will be trying one.

I was 17-2 at usta 4.0 mostly in singles. One of the two loses i split sets. I somehow did not get bumped...my team did not make it to the districts. One person who did get bumped to 4.5 I beat 6-0 6-4 in league usta match. I am really scratching my head. Some of the people that got...

i love the Spiky Shark!! seriously-- its a GREAT string.

Oh yea I love how he allows for the possibility at the 5.0 level lol... he knows everything about everyone else but beyond 4.5 heck i ANything is possible 0.O lol... i guess if you can beat him then it might work for you...otherwise it wont.

kind of..but i have nothing to compare it to...are you saying the old ones werent like that?

I think my forehand grip is somewhere between semi western and full western. I guess its a bit extreme. Yea i dont know...usually it feels like im fanning it more with my BH but not on this one. Its true when i get it going on the fh side i think i am really doing a lot with my body. It just...

i hit again with it for 3 hours last night...same thing..i just cant explain what is going on with my forehand side. Maybe its lazy footwork...I used the kps 88 for 3 years and then recently iv been using the BLX90...my one hander is just so amazing with the 85 and my forehand just sucks...i...

I hit again with it yesterday. I dont know what it is, but my BH feels amazing with it, like i have total confidence and it just feels so smooth and natural...my forehand seems to be a different story, i think its exposed some lazy footwork on that side. Which isnt surprising since i am in the...

seriously though i find hitting with it really just helps my game...i wouldnt use it in a competitive match at least not *yet* but only about 25% of my play time is competetive, the rest is working on strokes, serves etc...you know building my game, and this racket is just so great for that...

yea that reason is they dont have my talent. ;)

what strings are you guys using on yours?

exactly the penalization is actually instructive.

Update: i find this thing(ps 85) just helps my strokes. The correct volley technique just feels more natural, and more correct 1 hander BH technique also feels more natural with it. Again the feel is phenomenal. I do notice i get penalized a lot when i cant set up properly and give it a full...

its just sooo nice to hit with! my one hand BH and volleys feel great, and i just cant get over the feel i have on the ball...it feels like real actual tennis. Have it strung with lux M2 @ 54/40 ...now i am disappointed that i only ordered 1. Need another!!

i hate that little gold slit above the handle where it says '90'...it makes me think of an onsale chocolate bar...

REALLY interested in the Platinum 94. How does it compare to Prestige 93?

wow the new 90 looks awful(i assume thats the one with the leather grip).

I was thinking about the Blue 94s but then i noticed its only 6pts headlight...which kind of surprised me. The new Platinum 94 has me a bit more intrigued.

Lux M2 proL -- its verrrry nice on the kps 88

Similarly i have full western topspin forehand and a 1 hander(also topspin) BH i used the wilson kps 88 for 2 years and was pretty satisfied, it got me nice results, but i felt like my game evolved and i needed to switch to something a tad more headlight and maneuverable. Tried the obvious...

I like it a lot actually. Nice control, head light, i really seem to like serving with it. Like i said i switched from the kps 88 ...i wanted something more headlight, i tried out some frames and the 340x tour was just so comfortable i just went with it...I just wish i had waited a few weeks...
