    How would you compare the launch angle of PB10 to C10? The C10 was one of the only 16X19's I've ever had luck with my Eastern forehand grip.

    Agreed, I sweat like Patrick Ewing in summer so as awful as polyester it's the only option

    I last used Gut mains × kirschbaum max power at 52×48 last month in my C10 and it was great. As someone mentioned above when c10 loses tension it becomes a rocket laucher and Vcore-esque, really gotta restring in a timely fashion. Great frame overall.

    Second this, I belong to Balboa which is likely cheapest option in town, but Barnes is great (its where they hold our annual WTA tourney)

    What is the best Yonex racquet ever made?

    HD was brilliant was but kinda flew under the radar. Beautiful and precise wout anything free (like it should be)

    Yup, it's a uniquely "direct" feeling racket, I wish Babolat stayed w this direction, but unfortunately the FTC found they colluded with "big" orthopedic surgery and made 70 RA 26 mm tendinitis offerings to the shadow cabal of anti-Samprite baseline bashers

    Pure storm team is spectacular, surprising SW for its weight. Type racket that will make you wish everything was a 16×20.

    If you were to give out the C10 Pro "blind" I doubt many players could guess the string pattern; it's the most universal racket based on play style, it can really do it all. I'm so glad it's still being produced, last Yellow one I got brand new for measly $100

    If I am using a heavy racket (currently C10 pro) I use 18 gauge gut/poly or thinner. Strings really effect Swingweight more than I woulve thought. Tour bite comes in 1.05 even

    How does PB 10 mid compare to Yellow c10 Pro? I switched to C10 and am curious about 93' Lil brother

    Waited over 30 days for the demos so I was excited to try these new Precept rackets. Background: I've been a longtime and loyal VCP HD user (we're a very small, but dedicated cabal). The HD has a very unique flex specifically in the throat that allows a dwell time that I have found no other...

    "Deep 3 am tennis thoughts" by Jack Handey. What's the greatest difference in head size by two opponents in a professional match? The best I can come up with is Sampras ps85 vs Agassis Bumblebee; 22 inches difference

    Is anybody here still using and/or buying C10’s 330g

    I demoed every racket line over the course of 2 years and hands down the V Feel was the worst, I almost swore off Volkl all together. I was confident the VCPHD was my stick for next 5+ years and was planing on getting 4 or 5 of them. The C10 Pro Yellow changed everything, ...it's a masterpiece...

    Yonex VCore Pro 97 HD review...

    59 RA on the HD is about as soft as they come, I also have gut/Poly tour pro currently in my HDs so I'm very surprised at your issues. The only racket I own that's even softer is Yellow C10 pro, which is heavier but more headlight balanced. Maybe try Isospeed Cream as a cross, I go very low at...

    Diary of a Racketaholic

    Any thoughts on Volkl PB 10 mid? I'm considering marrying yellow c10 pro (it's the best racket, I mean it does everything so well) but I have this unquenchable feeling PB10 is the Shangri-la/El Dorado of rackets. I want the bored ******* in the dusty Volkl warehouse to have something to do.

    D was way more hefty and clubby, I preferred vollys w HD and its thinner beam. I added weight to HD but D Swingweight is already good to play out the box. Touch= HD, Power = D, both are great imo

    Second this, the feel of HD is unparalleled, something about the flex in the throat made it perfect for my elbow and heavy hitting, thus I defended VDM on these forums. The D was awesome maybe 9/10, however, the only true 10/10 frames for precision and comfort are the HD and C10 Pro, and I've...

    I just got the prior (Yellow) C10 and am absolutely blown away, might be switching permanently to them from my sacred HD's. Can you compare the new black to the Yellow? There's a decreasing amount of yellow left in my size so I need to know if it's time to stock up

    52 x 48 pounds is pretty good for me, if you one can tame the power if feels like a cheat code (like playing NESContra w Game Genie, unlimited Spread gun)

    Just pulled the trigger and got a Yellow C10 on the way. I am usually a Vcore Pro guy but I demo'd C10 last year and was shocked at how surprisingly impressed I was. Heavy, soft, thin beamed rackets are the only righteous path to the tennis gods.

    I rarely comment, but just a few days ago I broke the 5 gram threshold of lead on my 21' vc95, so this convo is very topical. I never considered myself big on lead tape usage but this racket really takes to heft well. I find 3 grams of lead on my HD is far more brutal than a 95 for whatever...

    21' 95 would've been my main stick with more heft, however, ended up endlessly adjusting 4-5 grams to hoop but... never could get it just "right" so I stuck with VCPHD.

    Wrong thread...but... I just bought Artengo and Cash tennis shoes for $39.99USD, and they're GREAT. With your insole of choice they are comfy, wide toe box, decent outsoles. I love spending my money on rackets and not shoes.

    Best racquet for backhand slice

    Vcore Pro HD ( hard to get now, but absolutely unrivaled in this dept.).
