I’ve been playing with the Pure Strike 98’s for the past couple months and just picked up a 305s demo from the local pro shop tonight. I measured the swingweight on it and it actually matches my PS’s at 322 (strung with rubber band dampener). This is probably lower than what you were asking...

Thanks for sharing! I’ll be getting another racquet to string in the next few days that was measured and purchased from my local shop, so I’ll have another sample to compare.

Would you mind sharing the specs of your PS98? I just picked one of these up and specifically targeted a lower swingweight than TW advertises. I had my first hit with it last night and “quickness” wasn’t one of my initial impressions. It actually seemed quite clunky like there was a lot of...

I never meant to imply there was a direct correlation between the cost of the machine and the accuracy of the machine. My intent was simply to understand why such variances could exist. With as much scrutiny as folks on this site (myself included) put on the specs of frames and blame bad QC, I...

Would this actually work? I bought my SW1 before the collapsible rod version, so mine is just the pvc pipe.

Has anyone else compared their measurements with other swingweight machines? I had shared discrepancies I observed last year of readings from my SW1 versus others, and I continue to experience this. I recalibrate regularly and am able to match the calibration values on my calibration rod...

Anyone played with under spec 98 16x19’s and if so, how did they play?

Mine is 291 stock sw

I have some extra reels/sets of the 3.0 blue round version in 17g I would consider parting with

I’m glad someone else noticed this as well

It was too muted and too much dwell for my liking. Caused it to launch and become unpredictable at times.

Really disappointed with where the blue string ended up that they are planning to bring to market from my understanding. The round versions were much better. This final shaped version doesn’t play like it at all and there’s nothing special about it imo.

This is my .02 after stringing for the past 5 years or so. I would keep reels of a syn gut and multi to begin with, then a shaped poly and round poly once you learn what’s popular in your area. I would stick to strings that are already well known and have established brand/name recognition. I’ve...

Did you try it with Pure Rush 1.23mm?

The kblades have a different drilling than the current blades because they do not have parallel drilling. Wilson introduced parallel drilling into the blades starting with the 2015’s, so any pro stocks based on versions prior to that will not have parallel drilling.

@TRU PRO Official - Any ETA on when the 30 packs of the EliteTac grips in white will be back in stock?

Anyone know if they have plans to ever offer their racquets in more than one grip size?

Still the frame I measure all others against, I played my best tennis with it. However, it’s one of the only frames that has ever given me arm troubles (Solinco WO being the other), so I was forced to move on from it. I’ve been searching ever since trying to find a replacement. After trying...

In case anyone is interested, I swapped the leather grip to a Head Hydrosorb Pro and it decreased the total weight by exactly 7g and shifted the balance point .5cm.

Hitting with the Pro demo from the local pro shop has just complicated my feelings towards it. Initially, I did not get along with it at all. I was dumping easy balls into the net and also experiencing the random flyers that would just launch off the stringbed. But after hitting off of my...

Contributing another data point. I decided to grab a Pro demo from the local pro shop and this one appears to be pretty under spec. Here are the measurements strung with TNT2: Static: 330.6g Balance: 32.5cm SW: 316!

Although, now I'm debating whether to keep any of them after reading more reviews since purchasing them. I've been switching back and forth between the PA98 and GPro, so when the initial reports came out I thought this may be the perfect blend of the qualities I enjoy most from those two frames...

Contributing some additional data points to the thread. I impulse bought a batch of 4 Pro's from Wilson directly with the intent of measuring and sending back the ones I choose not to keep. Interestingly, 3 of them turned out to be pretty close, but all 3 of those have silicone added into one...

It would be interesting to hear how an over spec 01 compares to an under spec Pro with similar swingweights in the 320-325ish range.

PA98 GPro Kblade Pro Stocks They play very differently from each other, but there are different aspects I enjoy about each

I've shared some of my recent experiences with Wilson CS within a few other threads, but thought I would make my own post for awareness. I just want others to be forewarned in advance if they are contemplating a Wilson stringing machine. I have owned a Baiardo L for 2.5 years now and back in...

Oh, I totally agree it doesn’t play like any of them haha…but strictly from a marketing standpoint, I felt like that was the audience they were targeting with the release of the Shift.

If it’s intended to compete against the vcores, extremes, pa98, etc, then where does that leave the Shift within their lineup? I thought from a marketing perspective, that’s where they had been positioning the Shifts.

For all you retro-holics, what do you do as far as grommets go? I also went through a retro-phase where I hunted down some old school frames, but got over it pretty quick once I figured out I would never able to source replacement grommet kits for them.

No, my Object #1 and #2 are still 295.5 and 152.1 on the calibrate tab. I will email you some videos as you requested. As far as the BP1, yes I still use it regularly but the numbers still fluctuate a lot like they always have.
