Thanks for the input fellas. Will try a few setups, mix up gauges, and hopefully ill find the next best thing for myself.

Completely misread your post haha Will try! How long did this setup last for him before breaking strings on avg? Also, what's the idea behind the 15L thicker crosses? Gotcha. Idk why I keep thinking that a thicker cross will make the mains last longer and you maintain it's playability and...

I know you said having a thicker cross "generally restrict the movement of the mains and therefore reduce the amount of notching also, but if you have a topspin-centered game you will find yourself also producing somewhat less action on the ball." Would thicker mains be a better option in...

I do actually. So in this case, it would be better to get a thicker poly main and keep the same gauge for the cross? Definitely will try. Any thoughts on how it compares to bhb7 or alu power? Correct me if I'm wrong. Let's say I get a thicker poly main to increase durability before the...

Lately I've been breaking my mains faster than expected. Here's the setup: Six one 95 16x18 Mains: BHB7 17g Cross: OG sheep micro 17g The catch is, it seemed like the mains lasted longer when it was paired with a 16g OG sheep as a cross instead of 17g. Is it because the thinner 17g was...

So when you think you're set on one thing and then someone says something like this LOL. Why must you do this?! I'm gonna demo again I think... haha I wonder when will there be a price drop for the new RFs.

Thanks for the response fellas. You guys have been really helpful.

Haha. I used the search button more. I actually saw you guys' post from similar threads from years ago. Thanks for the 2cents fellas. At the end of the day, gotta demo.. Racquets are expensive.

From what ive read so far around here, it looks like the six ones still perform well, if not equally as good, and for a much lower price tag.

I think I got my string patterns mixed up but looking at it again at the TW site; I think I would take the 16x18 over the 18x20. But still a little torn if I should just pass up on the six ones and try the RF/PS 97s. Anyone made the switch from six ones to the RF/PS 97s? Thoughts?

I tend to exaggerate my WW motion and I like to use poly on mains. You think that's enough to keep the ball in when swinging big? That's a steep diff for a 2in. But yea I can wait until the prices go down but Im still not sure if I want to miss out on the 6.1 95, esp for the price. I heard...

Should I cop the 6.1 95 before theyre completely gone or save up for RF97a or even leaded PS97? I remember when the 6.1 95 where the main stick for a lot of college palyers and some touring pros. Seems like now everyone's onto the RF97 and PS97. How do they compare? Is it worth the price tag...

Any other nice multis out there that work well in a hybrid specifically with bhbr?

Hey guys, so I usually use Big Hitter Blue Rough on mains with OG Sheep Micro on crosses but I recently played with a full bed of syn gut. I kinda miss the 'feel' and so I wanna experiment with BHBR on the crosses and syn gut on the mains. My question is.. What's a nice, 'best bang for your...

Thanks guys! I appreciate the ideas!

Is it easy to remove or does it permanent? Also, do I need to stuff the handle with cotton balls to make it work.

Wont the BlueStik go into the hollow space too? I feel like if it gets deep inside the handle, it'll be so much harder to remove. I'm not sure about your APDGTs, but for me you can just see the staples and holes into the handle. Edit: I dont plan on adding much, about ~2g at the moment. I also...

So I want to put some weight inside the butt capt of my APDGT. I know you can easily open the trap door and just stuff the lead in but it's hollow inside and I dont want the lead moving around in the handle. I know for most if not all Wilson racquets, if you open the trap door there is a foam...

Talked to Daniel, Babolat Official, and he confirmed that the grommets are the same. "Thanks for the note. The grommets are the same. Tip on installing: start at 3 and 9 o’clock and alternate stretching the grommet to the head and throat as you install them. If you want more info call the...

I got a different answer from TW. I was told that the grommets they have for APDs doesn't fit in the GTs. Weird. I just ordered the apdgt racquets and I'm not planning on changing the grommets soon but I just want to stock up for the future. Just dont wanna jump the gun and get them now only...

Need some grommets for this racquet. The ones listed on the TW website does not include the GT line but there's one for 2013 APDs. Anyone knows if those are compatible with the apdgt. If not, where else can I get grommets for this racquet?

Well guys, I followed my instincts and went with the apdgt. Thanks for helping me put things into perspective.

I'm thinking two. Yea good point. I guess I just wanted some assurance that I'm doing the right thing haha

I do feel that the 2013 feels a little better but pretty much the question is.. Is that small difference worth it? Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything in the long run. I dont change racquets much and I see this as an investment for many years to come.

Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting new tennis racquets. I really enjoy the aero pro line. Can't really decide between the APD2013 or APD GT. Not sure if I didnt demo them long enough or what. I can't justify getting the 2013 with the price difference. Any opinions, suggestions, comments?

Great tool! enough said.

thanks for clarifying.

I'm not sure exactly what the "W" is. Can anyone elaborate more on this variable?

Yeah, you should claim the title "Dr. Lead." There's many misconceptions and such regarding lead tape and it's nice to know that there's a "go to" guy in the forums if one has questions.

It depends on how much weight ur adding. Less weight, less effect on SW. But it should have similar effects of counterbalancing to adding weight at buttcap. Also, XFull states that he likes the power that he gets when adding the weight farther up compared to adding weight at buttcap which I find...
