I've been testing it for a couple months, and now it's replaced SP Tornado in my setup. It is more comfy than Tornado, has less power and spin but more touch. I play doubles so the added touch at net was a good plus. Accuracy is better overall, especially on angled forehands. I dont think it...

One more vote for Signum Pro Poly Plasma, because not only it takes a turtle's lifetime to break, it also holds tension very well.

Signum Pro Hyperion (similar to Black Magic but longer durability) is great in a TC95 (I'm using this set up), but won't give you that bit of extra spin. Pro's Pro Vendetta is also very nice, the pocketing just invites you to swing real hard. For the TC100, a buddy of mine uses SP Plasma...

For thin beam 100sq in rackets you can probably look at the Donnay and Angell offerings. During the demo I found Angells offer more power and spin.

She is ALWAYS correct

Yes. Flex of 60-63 should be fine. I haven't tried lower. I think the flex doesn't matter as much as the fact that the racket has to be a control type. But I'm just armchair doctorating it here since I haven't tried low tension in a tweener racket.

98 is still in fetus shape... But good thing is that at this stage you can probably email Angell and give feedback on what you would be looking for in such a racket. What's your experience with strings on this stick?

Thanks, realized it is probably true that the power level is average for a 100sq in 16x19. I came from prestige, and tested it along with a Wilson Pro Tour, so the difference in power made a lasting impression in me. Also testing the 95sq in, which give good precision and maneuvarability. Since...

If I were you, instead of "yea that's the one", I would've said "Please marry me"

Sorry I live in a remote land, plus is close to an Angell distributor anyway. May I ask what make you not satisfied with the racket?

Testing out Angell frames. My desired spec right now is a TC100 16x19 at about 310g unstrung. There was a 300g version of this stick available for demo so I started with that. First impressions: - This is a powerful racket. And easy to impart spin on the ball. People have compared it with...

For a forum so obssessed with pro players, Firestorm should definitely get the award since a top pro actually switched to it.

Tried PS Energy at 16kg and really liked it. Powerful (for a poly), nice spin and comfort. Your racket must be a control type though (mine was a TGK). Downside is horrid volley, which made me give up this set up after a couple months.

It's funny most strings on the market now go for the extreme (spin, power, soft...) that it's a bit hard to find all around balanced strings like PL2. I believe you can look at the Pro's Pro offering and find a poor man's version of PL2. WeissCannon strings might fit the bill also.

Put some flames on it so that it will really be MELTing HOT... sorry lame joke

You break BB ALU in 2-3 hours? Then I'm not sure there's a string on earth can can contain your mighty power... Jk, have you considered trying a bigger gauge of ALU?

Not if you have to pay for stringjobs. While it's half the price of some other polys, it also "goes dead" in about half the time, which leads to more often stringing required, so youre either paying more money or spending much more time in your parents' basement working the stringing machine...

They are older model strings that Signum Pro either discontinued or stopped advertising for. From bits of info I've come across over the years, they are probably average quality poly's. So not exactly bargains (especially if you hate them later on). Also, anything from Eagnas presents a huge risk.

Tested Firestorm then switched right to Thunderstorm before a company tournament... not a good idea. Very catchy look, powerful, not as much spin as Tornado but more comfy. But this is just after 2,3 sessions so don't trust my words just yet.

Just refer to what is said on the main website. A similar thread to this is already deleted.

Yup the Bio 200 Lite feels nice to hit with, but it is very low powered so you'll have to have very good technique in order to make good use of it.

Last time I checked (30 seconds ago) TW still has 10+ rackets for each of the two most popular grip sizes

Have an i.prestige, had a Donnay Silver Lite and played both around the same time. You cannot play with the Donnay using the same technique as heavier rackets. It's a thin beam, control oriented racket yet very light. You really need to whip it on every shot. It was a weird testing period for...

Yes trumping No 7:1... hope Roger takes the public's interest into consideration

It's hard if you don't say your level and style of play - the string set up depends on the player more than anything else! With that said, I though the Gold was a low powered stick with not a lot of heft, and when I tried it with a full bed of Tornado it wasn't a successful outing. So maybe you...

Andddd another one in more vivid details http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFgJKT1zeb0 One of them is the number 3 player in Viet Nam And Odin made great observations! The guy is a legendary underground player here

Hey great insight Drakulie! But what do you mean by "silicone comes loose"? The retail racket already has silicone? or when you insert silicone, it doesn't stick as well as other rackets?

there are reviews on stringforum can can be beneficial

Putting on my common sense hat: If Babolat did spend a few extra dollar to put foam in the racket, why haven't they spent millions telling the whole world about that?

Tata, if you still haven't been able to get your 5/8 frame by Sep, you can contact me before going to vietnam
