    Yonex Vcore Pro 97D real lenght?

    It seems that shorter one is strung properly. Shame, I like narrower head more, I am more familiar with traditional head shapes.

    Yonex Vcore Pro 97D real lenght?

    I know the sheet specs, but it is not always right. I need someone to actually measure their racket.

    Yonex Vcore Pro 97D real lenght?

    Hello, friends. I have a pair of these, from different second hand sources. The longer one is 69cm and have narrower face, and the shorter one is 68,6cm and have wider face. So, the one of these is not properly strung, with bad relations between mains and crosses. Witch one is good one? (I guess...

    Head satellite tour VS Wilson 7.5 pro staff

    I played with both, but with about 10 years distance... As far as I remembered, feel is different, beside similar specs. Head feels more flexy, and a little unstable sometimes, imagine PT57A with very low SW. A little clumsy with that big head. Power is decent. But very good racket overall...

    Why is the Head Gravity Pro so beloved?

    It is good. But overrated, imho.

    Wilson nBlade 98 grommet alternative?

    I read here that n.code Blade have unique grommet set. But, does someone tries to fit grommets/bumper from another model? Which one? Are modifications/cuts complicated? Thanks in advance for answers.

    200G MW - just how good?... your thoughts...

    I used my familiar hybrid (round poly x round s.gut, medium tension), and also full synt.gut that frame came with. But that doesnt matter.... I know to distinguish "dead strings" and "dead frame" ;)

    200G MW - just how good?... your thoughts...

    My personal big disappointment. Had a pair. Tried different stringjobs, and it always stays "dead", especially compared to similar sticks (HM200G, PT630 etc...). It is not bad, dont get me wrong, but just average racquet IMHO.

    More damage to the opponent - topspin style of play or flat hitting?

    At 3.5 level heavy topspin players framed ball too often, especially in long ralies.

    Racquet recommendation for weak wrist

    Weak wrist or wrist pain? If it is pain, in my case, it is form framing the ball, and solution is any Kinetic Pro Kennex racqet. It works for that... If it is weak wrist - train that ;)

    Trying to find a modern racquet that plays similar to Bumblebee Radical MP

    Bumblebee MP is very, very unique in terms of feel, stability and precision. Adding weight to a modern frame (Blade or some modern Radicals for example) will result in too much power. Don't lose time and money, find another Bumblebee MP, they are not too rare...

    Head Gravity Pro club!

    Let me share my honest opinion. I played with this for about 3-4 month, and I wanted to love it, but I cant. Although it is very good, it is not great. Face is so wide and it feels sluggish like playing with oversize. Sweetspot is normal size for this headsize, don't fall for marketing...

    We need a Dunlop MW 200g Reissue

    MW200G is overrated, imho. Hotmelt 200G is superior in every aspect.

    Most Awesome Pro Staff 85 Specs!

    A long time ago I trimmed bumper guard on Yonex RD7 to lower gigantic SW. Everything that was great on that racquet disappears. My experience...

    Tips for rackets 98in but <300g

    Blade 98L (V6, "non-cotrex"). I got this in some trading, with idea to sell it. Tried it out of curiosity, and it became my No1 since then, about 6 months ago. I am used to old school players frames, but this one has almost everything in much lighter package.

    Best Pro Staffs that are NOT 6.0 or 6.1?

    7.5 is the best. Because it doesn't feel like Pro Staff ;) (flex 54)

    The most underrated frames of all times? contemporary? by sales?

    overrated: Gravity Pro. It is good stick, but not GOAT as many says. Such wide face makes me feel like I play with oversize. underrated: Blade 98L. Such light frames are usually considered for kids, but this one has stability and plow just like regular Blade 98.

    What career would you prefer, Guga or Hewitt?

    Charmer vs jerk. Smile vs angry face. The most loved vs the most hated player. Never mind the results, my choice is obvious ;)

    Do you need more than one racquet?

    When I was kid (in 90s), I had one, and I played until string (synthetic gut) breaks. Then I make 2 knots of broken string part with my hands, and finish the session :D Then I restring it... I was happier than today with big collection, pro stocks etc...

    Modern equivalent to Dunlop 200g Muscle Weave?

    Nothing today is even close to MW200g. It is the lowest power racquet I ever tried.

    Babolat Pure Drive

    I am kinda "old-skul-flexy-heavy-snob", but PD is a great racquet. I had pair of "team - graphite/kevlar" versions (with added 10g of silicone in the handle), and I can play anytime with it. Drop shots are the only downside, imho.

    Dunlop 200G Hotmelt 95

    It is great racquet, if you looking for feel, control and comfort. No cons, imho. I switched from PT630 to HM200G (because PT630 became too demanding for my years...) and it was smooth transition. Thay are different, of course, but if you love PT you're gonna love HM too. And, no, it is NOT good...

    Do you factor in colour when selecting a racket?

    No. Except when it is especially ugly (pink Clash, yellow Extreme, purple/pink Aero...)

    Dear Wilson please bring back the ………….

    Pro Staff 7.5 Dont be afraid of static weight, swing weight is feather light. Flex 54.

    Best Head Radical MP line?

    I have/had every MP until Microgel. Bumblebee is by far the best. I doubt there is any model after that is better ;) And I dont like TwinTubes so much, beside the fact that specs are similar on the paper.

    Rossignol f200 vs. Dunlop max 200g?

    Max200G is superior in every way, imho. F200 feels like there is no sweetspot. And, btw, I hated Mac and liked Mats when they were players. And vice verse now as a commentators..

    Dunlop after the Grafil models. Any legit classics?

    Absolutely not. Not significant players, not grand slam titles, not cult following among club players etc... But I personally like HM200G very much, and hate MW200G and Revelation.

    Any older players still using “players frames”?

    As I get older, I tried to play with tweeners, but it actually tired me more, because I must constantly pull topspin to keep ball in play. With players racquets, I can just relaxed plow thru the ball with slower swing, and get about same ball speed.
