Benjamin Becker's career was defined by ending Agassi's career.

Younes El Aynaoui epic 5 AO 5 setter against Roddick

Honestly, Prestige Classic is a pretty good name for a Cologne.

He's an unhinged goofball. I wouldn't take this seriously. He's just raging and not thinking clearly.

Yup. I have one. Only hit with it once. Didn't really love the muted feel, and the 16x19 felt pretty powerful. I should give it a re-visit though, since I only hit with it for about 20 minutes without an overgrip.

The old POG LBs were actually pretty whippy because of their HL balance. I also have some TGT 293.2 pro stocks (mentioned in my signature) that are super whippy, since I took off the CAPs and dropped the swingweight dramatically. They're just shy of 28", so it's def possible to make a frame that...

Yup. For the time being!

I am sad to report I did not like the react MPP 99. I thought since it wasn't foam filled and the whole design concept was maneuverability, it would have a low enough swingweight to play well at 28". I was way wrong. Racquet felt sluggish as hell.

MP Pro is coming early! Out for delivery today! Can't wait to throw this on my stringer.

Just got notified my racquet will arrive on Friday. Any further reviews of the React MP Pro?

Wonder if Paul is backordered. Haven't gotten any shipping updates on my order from Wednesday, which is unlike Paul. He usually ships within 24-28 hours.

Couldn't help myself and went ahead and ordered a 28" MP Pro 99. Base Frame: RC MPP - 99" 18x19 Length: 28" Weight / Balance: 10.4oz / 7Pts HL Handle Size: L3 Handle Shape: A Grip: Tan Leather (+ $6.00) Grip Band: Black Racket Sac: Don't Include

Let us know when you get the strung frame back. I'm curious how dense the 18x19 really is.

Ok. React MP Pro looks too good to pass up. 99", 21mm beam, 18x19 pattern, not foam filled so lower sw, available in XL. This is basically the frame I've been asking for for ages.

What version of the speed has JJ been using?

I second that. Looks just like the blackout.

What makes you say this? Is this a gut feeling or do you actually know something?

Conditions in London are waaaaaay different from those a month ago in Paris.

Got the 28" WO today. It honestly feels kind of heavy even unstrung. I have low hopes of this ending well...

I ordered it over the phone. Should be here later this week

Might want to take a look at the Solinco Blackout 300. I find it pretty whippy and feels like a lot of the mass is in the throat.

Welp, I caved and bought a 28" WO earlier. Should be an interesting playtest.

Yeah. The blackout is to the pure aero, as the whiteout is to the pure strike. The blackout is a notch or two under the power of the pure drive and feels a bit softer, but def has the pop @2ndServe is looking for.

Nole is 100% ready to retire BUT...

Yes. I put them on both the WO xtd 18M and BO xtd. I really enjoyed them and found them to help play a lot, so much to the extent I've started tailweighting all my racquets now. I even added an extra 10 grams of lead around the butt to exaggerate the effect of the 10g butt insert. I don't find...

Yes. He said they're exclusive.

I just spoke with RP over the phone. So, they are the 16x19, they come stock 28" from Solinco, and the specs are matched to the regular 16x19 xtd. 298 SW unstrung. I'm salivating.

Whoah. Is he getting it 28" from Solinco or customizing it himself?

Decided to partake in this science experiment. I have an Ezone 98 plus extended to 28" by R*NY that was too heavy and collecting dust, so I put pain stripper on it and started sanding it down last night. Will post pics once I get it down to the graphite.

Alcaraz will be a contender on grass soon. The new grass is too similar to hard for him not to be. Wish they'd bring back the fast grass of the 90s and early aughts. I'd love to see new champs and less HC baseliners able to grind their way through.
