    Need string advice: balancing control vs power

    I struggled with elbow issues with the vcore 98. If you have the 7th generation like me, it's not a particularly powerful racquet so I would string it lower. I was going all the way down to 45 or 46 and it was still fine. I play either full bed poly 46/44 or poly/multi and poly/SG 46/48. I never...

    Poly Mains / Multi Crosses: tension and gauge?

    Whenever I decide to do poly/multi hybrid, I always go 2lbs higher on the cross. I strung up 2 brand new racquets with Mach 10 1.20mm @ 46lbs/ triax 16g @48 and the other one Mach 10 @ 46lbs/ NrG2 @ 48lbs. I usually play full poly and thought I'd be able to control triax better. Not only the...

    Racquets that are easy on the elbow moving away from 2023 vcore 98

    I finished demoing several racquets and I ultimately chose the Boom MP. Here are my breakdowns for each racquets: Clash 100 V3: Barely hit with it. I could tell right away I wasn't going to like it. The feel was just too different to what I'm used to. Ezone 100: This one is the one I felt...

    Head Gravity MP 2025 magic stick?

    I tried to play with the blade 98 v8 for a few months before and I feel like I had the same impression at first. But then eventually, my arm and shoulder started getting sore from having to swing harder and also not being able to to finish off quickly against defensive players, especially when I...

    Head Gravity MP 2025 magic stick?

    Currently playing with 2023 vcore 98 I play baseline with heavy forehand topspin. I demoed boom mp, speed mp, ezone 100, clash 100 and the gravity mp. I'm trying to find something that will be easier for my elbow. On paper, Gravity mp should suit me the least but I had my best match with it. Go...

    8th Gen Yonex Ezone

    I just demoed the 2026 ezone 100 and I thought it felt almost exactly like my old DR100. It's like they just re-released it Does anyone know if it plays any more comfortable long term? Because I couldn't from hitting with it for an hour. I thought it was basically same comfort, same spin and...

    for comfort and lower launch: high tension thinner gauge or low tension thicker gauge

    For Triax and rexis speed, what gauge do you use for full bed? Is 1.28mm for triax too thin to last?

    Racquets that are easy on the elbow moving away from 2023 vcore 98

    Just demoed new boom mp and the clash v3. Didn't get to hit with the clash much since the other guy really wanted to play a match. I sailed like 3 forehands to the back wall and just stopped after that haha. Boom mp was a mixed feeling. It does feel easy on the arm and was actually easy to serve...

    for comfort and lower launch: high tension thinner gauge or low tension thicker gauge

    Chat gpt told me to use thicker gauge like 1.25mm on my main Mach 10 and try a 1.30mm Rexis in the cross. It says that a thicker gauge will absorb vibrations more and be better for my elbow. I always assumed that a thinner gauge would make the stringbed more plush and thus be more comfortable...

    Equipment setup to determine if elbow pain is from technique versus equipment?

    Thanks. I picked up an old racquet that had lead tape at 3 and 9 and my arm felt a little tired at the end of my match. I'm too lazy right now to add to handle in case I don't like it. Wonder if adding in the hoop only would help with keeping the racquet stable yet easier to wield.

    Did you put the weight in the handle or at the top?

    Yonex EZONE 100 2025 — A Top Gun of Racquets

    After dealing with some elbow issue with my vcore 98 7th Gen, I switched back to my ezone 100 DR from 7 years ago. My golfer's elbow stopped hurting and I forgot how more power I had with this racquet. It's weird to read that I'm not the only one who get golfers elbow from a less stiff, lower...

    I know the V7 is supposed to be the softest and I kept just believing it should be comfortable but fact is that it's the only racquet that has given me elbow issues. I have seen another posts about someone having issues with their elbow with the V7 for both vcore and ezone. I'm really wondering...

    Racquets that are easy on the elbow moving away from 2023 vcore 98

    I do have a stringing machine and have 3 racquets that I switch. I rarely play more than 10h with a racquet, sometimes less if I have a multi or SG in the cross.

    Racquets that are easy on the elbow moving away from 2023 vcore 98

    I never thought of looking at swing weight. I have 4g of lead at 3 and 9 for both rackets. What other synthetic guts do you recommend? I tried prince synthetic with duraflex and found them sticky and didn't like that they moved a lot. One thst I liked was Tnt react but I find it expensive for a...

    Racquets that are easy on the elbow moving away from 2023 vcore 98

    Strung up my old Ezone100 DR with Mach10 and ghostwire and had no pain. I then played 5 rallies with my vcore 98 with Mach 10 and Gosen OG and felt my elbow by the 5th rally. Something with the 100 DR where I felt the ball came out the same almost from everywhere in the racquet. With the vcore...

    Racquets that are easy on the elbow moving away from 2023 vcore 98

    I demoed the gravity pro many years ago when it was still the just the 360 technology and loved the feel but it was just too heavy for me. Gravity mp at the time felt too light and unstable but I'm wondering if auxetic 2.0 improves that. I heard speed can be somewhat harsh too? Vcore 2021 was...

    I'm reading about Prokennex and I'm going to plan to demo the 300 pro ace. Going to read more about prince too. I guess I have to be open minded and try every solutions. I just want to be able to swing freely and not have a playtime limit. I never thought of going full multi but I guess I have...

    I also have a reel of tecnifibre multifeel. If I go full bed with that, what tension should I use? If it only lasted me 4 or 5h as a cross, would it last longer as fullbed?

    Racquets that are easy on the elbow moving away from 2023 vcore 98

    This is what I'm wondering too. I had tried the blade 98 too and I felt a lot of arm fatigue. I would think the gravity mp would be more forgiving because of the head size.

    Is that the racquet that has some sort of sand inside that moves when you swing? Are they all confortable or you recommend only that particular stick?

    Mach10 1.20mm main @47lbs and ghostwire 1.17mm cross @45lbs. I had Gosen OG micro in the cross at 49lbs before. Maybe I shouldn't have changed to ghostwire. I'm not sure if that's the culprit but I was fine with the change for 5 or 6 months. I do know I would feel a bit of soreness against...

    What way out? I mentioned my elbow injury only happened with the vcore 98. I played with Mach 10 1.20mm at 47lba and ghostwire 1.17mm cross at 45lbs fine for 5 or 6 months. Previously had Gosen OG on the cross. My first tennis elbow could have been triggered by doing housework. Had I had tennis...

    Racquets that are easy on the elbow moving away from 2023 vcore 98

    I took a couple lessons lately and the coach mentioned I had an extreme grip on the forehand which limited my ability to go for flat powerful shot but he didn't want to change it as I was consistent with it and the spin I had was in itself probably enough of a weapon for my level. I know that I...

    The first time with the tennis elbow on my dominant arm, I suspected I hurt myself first doing house work.
