@dr325i said his came in at 335 strung sw which means it was probably around 300 unstrung? I believe that was a one of the initial demo/influencer ones though...

Had 2 new GTour98s arrive and thankfully the QC checks out (measured with plastic wrap). Static Balance Swingweight Racket 1 306 31.8 289 Racket 2 306 31.8 285

You mean less balanced since you're going from less head light to more head light?

Already been waiting since Dennis mentioned it on the TN podcast like 6 months ago :confused:

Interesting that they went with a colour scheme that's not dissimilar to "his" limited edition navy one.

Did either of you consider/try the 23' VCore 100? I've gone from the 23' VCore 98 to the Ezone 98 but have been considering moving back up to a 100sqin, either the new EZ100 or the '23 VC100. Still wouldn't mind something more in between the VC and EZ, since i like the feel on the former at...

i can see that a certain depot for racquets in the uk have stock :rolleyes:

She looked like she was hitting so much better with the Ezone 100 vs. the 98, was surprised that she still wanted to go back to it at the end.

There are quite a few JP videos for the blacked out version They're starting to publish ones with the released cosmetic

Not sure what TW were measuring since here the Tour is 320SW with Hawk Touch.... Unless Head QC strikes again :censored:

They replicated the Prestige, where the Tour is 95sqin and the Pro is 98.

From what i remember, yes, it's a Hawk Rough relaunch/rebrand to Hawk Touch Rough because that's effectively what it is. And in a different colourway :unsure:

Don't suppose you know anything about the "Hawk Touch Rough" relaunch that was briefly mentioned somewhere earlier in the year? :3

Don't know if it's the gloss or the blue/black, but i keep getting Pro Tour vibes :unsure:

I believe @dr. godmode has said the Ezone 100 Tour should also be coming to Canada, so here's hoping for some more international presence...

@dr. godmode actually mentions the 100 Tour in his Instagram post... So maybe it isn't just a JP exclusive? :unsure: Are you able to share? :notworthy:

It's mentioned in both the JP videos here, and I saw it in another JP one. But haven't seen it in any others.

Can't see it on the Tennis Only website, and I just got an email from a UK store that doesn't have the 100 Tour either, but does seem to have most of the others including the 98 Tour.... did state it would launch on 10th Jan 2025

Interesting that there's quite a gap now with a 7RA spread. When the outgoing ones (at least according to TW) are 65/67RA for the 98/100 respectively.

I'm in a similar situation to you re. ~small UK club although atm stringing service isn't so much as a business as a limited to friends/teammates/word of mouth. I thankfully inherited a few reels of various things was the (retiring) coach when i bought the machine off him. But mostly as per...

Maybe head will bump the Pro down to 310g to be more of a bridge to the old tour? That would be inline with the Radical, Speed and Boom Pro's? IIRC it's just the current Gravity at 315g and Prestige is 320g? Extreme is 305g as the former Tour...

I did want to ask at the initial time why you thought the original measurements were more accurate than the new ones but I chose to go with the joke opener :X3: But congratulations! You're stronger/fitter than you thought :laughing:

Am sure @bfroxen will be able to provide guidance :) But I don't think the size/weight is the issue... I've used mine with both the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7, which are supposed to be larger/heavier than the 16 Pro (from what I can see online). Unless you meant a Pro Max, which then I can't comment on.

I'm sure there's a joke there somewhere about Pro models generally having higher SWs....

I didn't mean to imply anything about your comment outside of the fact it is a comment about sound when someone had posted that you've never commented about sound. Head have mentioned Sound as a part of their marketing for a while now. I think initially when I think it was the Prestiges where...

It was mostly a tongue-in-cheek comment regarding the recent trend in "requests" for 16x20/18x19 rackets vs. the current 16x19/18x20 status quo. W.r.t. your comment specifically it's whether you'd have see a significant difference with say an 18x20 Prestige Tour, or 16x19 PA 98 - likely we'll...

You can't say that here on the boards! That one extra cross is supposed to give you all the extra control you need without sacrificing power! ;) Just don't bring it up with the 18x19 brigade... apparently removing a cross will give you the extra power you need without sacrificing control! :sneaky:

Yes, i think it's always going to be the case, and then on top of actual specs you get additional factors like brand loyalty/preference, colour scheme etc. And even then you'll also have the same opposing view points (i.e "if only Head made an PA98 competitor" vs. "all of these 305g 98sqin...

I would say it's a matter of perspective. Manufacturers are perceived as not consumer focused when they provide too many options across their silos, potentially blending them. Whilst at the same time being consumer friendly because we're providing options for consumers. At the end of the day...
