    So, here's my short review on my hitting session after a 2 week break. My redondo mid is strung with pro supex big ace micro at 46/43. My timing was a bit off as the swingweight of the racket is a bit hard to adjust to at the moment and the racket felt like it was flying through the air. I'll...

    but now their 1's going to end up losing for the next 2 years I'm going to guess, since the only kid beating him was in state finals to Salem.

    I'll have to wait 3-4 weeks though :( but I'll still string the racket next week and see how if feels when bouncing a ball on it. But I think I measured wrong when I had 2layers of tape because with just 1 layer it's 8points headlight.

    Oh, I remembered the strings wrong, but it's actually stamina as i said in an earlier post, I knew it started with s, but same tension. I also compared the the feeling with my friends mgp mid strung with some gamma polys, orange colored don't remember the name, at 42lbs and my stamina at...

    Well, I find the big ace micro to be a much softer string than luxilon, and I'm only 15 and jobless, so I won't be able to afford gut strings :(

    I peeled off one of the layers if head tape, it was a bit too hard to move at net, the string is Wilson Sensation 16 at 55 mains 58 crosses. But that's a bit too stiff for me as I'm used to mid to high 40s. I will be trying out pro supex big ace micro at 45/48 and see how it feels, but I have...

    Redondo mid with 2 layers of gamma headguard strung with Wilson stamina 17 with yonex supergrap, didn't get to check the weight, but it feels like 12.6 only 4 points headlight, i might take off a layer and see how it plays.

    I guess I don't have a classic backhand afterall. My strokes don't look much like theirs, just a good over the opposite shoulde finish for my backhand.

    Prestige Mid is actually 88 inches^2

    Can't be true, look at Dunlop 100, it's labeled as 90

    There's no classic 2hbh? Unless you consider Borg or Connors

    And what would be a "modern" 2hbh, the classic and modern both seem similar to me, but the modern has more of a upward brush and plow through.

    Looks like this rackets going to take some adjusting and getting used to.

    Oh and adding two layers of gamma guard ended up making my racket into about 6-7pts hl. I think the final weight with overgrip and dampener is about 12.4oz strung.

    Thank you for the answers, I have a pretty modern swing with a windshield wiper forehand and a classic backhand. I'm just worried about the times it's going to take me to adjust to the new headsize as currently I'm using a ncode ntour 95 with 1.25 oz in the handle making the racket 10pts hl...

    Another question, would you say instead of adding lead, running Gamma Heard Guard over the bumper twice would increase the swingweight and stability of the racket?

    Dead thread, I know, but last season Jamestowns number 1 lost to my local schools number 1. But they still won overall and made it to states.

    My coach was able to get the first pair of barricades as a warranty.. He's so lucky, I guess it pays to have big feet. and the second pair don't look so much like a new colorway.

    Thank you for replying, I have a somewhat full stroke, I wrap around my left shoulder. But I guess this might be challenging on my returns since I have a really short take back and tend to flick my shot. I'll have to wait until it comes in the mail and see how it plays next week.

    I just ordered this racket without a demo. Hopefully I'm not dissapointed. But all in all, from the reviews it sounds inviting, which is the main reason I bought it on an impulse. Curious how it plays with a moderately flat 2hbh? Anyone care to reply?

    Your serve toss

    I voted toss high, but I wouldn't say mines as high as grafs. It seems like they wait a whole second to serve. I usually make contact with the ball about a quarter of a second after the ball starts dropping.

    what is slapping the ball ?

    My coach usually tells me I'm slapping at the ball when I'm not prepared or just being lazy and just swinging without rotating my body. So basically arming the ball, imo.

    Forehand- Loop or straight takeback?

    Looping helps me "brush" up on the ball more for more topspin, since I'm going from a low to high to hit the ball.
