Are there any used MS140 one can purchase?

27.5 is a little stiffer/crispy feel, believe RA is 67 ish. 28 feels more plush, and the length did not take me long to adjust to. Both solid and stable. Like the XTD 28 more though.

New Diadem Dream 105 is a nice stick that just came out. Some customizing, for stronger players. Pretty comfortable for a stiff racquet.

I'm in metro Atlanta, GA and unfortunately most large group clinics are like that everywhere here. It's almost impossible to do any technical corrections in a large group as a coach. I do some part time coaching. When helping another coach doing groups, I would take 2 at a time from the group...

Go for it! All about match experience. Have to get your body and mind ready to play multiple matches in 1 day. Most people are not used to that. You'll see a pretty wide mixed of skill levels in a L7 tourney depends on where you live.

L2. I went down switching from blade V7 to vcore 97D. Yonex grips feels slightly larger to me.

Definitely a paint job wil-lup

I think it's the 305 version with no visible lead. Used to play college in the states.

Mostly agreed. Is not as bent as most people think. Nothing like Iga. Fognini and Nalbandian are very similar. Simple and easy. Most rec players should try to replicate rather than Fed's forehand.

I think it feels better, more solid and smoother than the Tfight.

There's a trap door, but handle is foam filled.

It's about the same as Blade V8, current Ezones, and vcores I tnink.

V1 has a more crisp raw feel. V3 feel is more muted and plush. Most new racquets are going towards the muted spectrum. I like it a lot more than the V2, but very different from the V1. All depends on your preference feel wise. Build quality is way better than previous versions.

Great update to the V2 across the board. Really like the cosmetics too. Been hitting around with the tour and regular Elevate V3. Both are very stable in stock form. Sweet spot feels a little larger. Its not anymore muted than Blade v7 and v8. Most wouldn't need to customize at all. If you do...

Try the Solincos whiteout and blackout. Regular and extended.

You should be able to feel the difference with 2-3 grams

Artengo racquets from decathlon will be a good choice. They have a good range of racquets with good prices.

Solinco Blackout XTD. Head speed MP if she's looking for more feel.

Yes. Foam through out.

I've been using the Blackout XTD for about a week now. Pleasantly surprised how much I liked it. Tried many other 27.5 frames before and never adjusted well, especially on volleys and most felt uncomfortable. I also started hitting two handed forehand due to right shoulder issues and serving...

Overall is pretty good. I wouldn't change a whole lot at this point. Toss seems too much left and looks like your wrist is snapping down on top of the ball. Focus on better toss placement and pronation. Relax more too on the swing.

What's the Bharty setup, anyone know? Like to try.

I bet it's an awesome racquet. Played with previous version. New racquet prices are way too much to want to try though.

Bethanie Mattek-Sands switch quite a bit as well, is currently using the Head speed pro in the US Open exhibition the other day. She said she was going to switch to the Boom in the TW video that came not too long ago.

Prince textreme tour 290 is a great option and $130 at the moment.

Something in the 300 or 305 grams unstrung would be good. 17g Poly is fine to use in a hybrid with synthetic or multi cross in 40's would be fine. 46 lbs is a good start. Black and white prince warrior is a good racquet for all levels that is around $130 new.

The tour 98 is a much softer feel than the beast 98. Really comes back to personal preference on the firmer flex of the beast or soft feel of the tour 98. I think power level is very close to the same. I can play with both, just prefer the softer feel.

Beast 98 is a great stick. It's a comfortable "pure drive". Does everything well. Twist 97 is solid, more muted firm feel. Too firm for me personally. Tour 98 is my current main stick. Nice soft feel with some free power. Really good stock, but I did add weight to 3 and 9 and liked it better.

Echoing what Michelle said. liked it stock but did add weight to 3 and 9. Total is 332 grams. Like it more now. Doesn't hurt to experiment.

My son is skinny, 4' 10" using full length with size 1 grip. He's more of a size 0 so I use a thin grip, and small overlap with the overgrip. Strung weight with everything is 326 grams with balance point about 6.5 HL. Hope that can give you a reference.
