Greetings from Spain!! I have two of the same racquets (but they are not matched), the prince o3 white, and one that is different, a leaded prince o3 red. They are all o3 racquets (similar feeling) and they all weight around 330g strung. I use the o3 white mainly, but when I am very tired or...

Hi there. I hope it's not too late to help. I have one. I have added one shrink sleeve on the grip (around 18gs) and 2 gs of lead at 10 and 2 o'clock (1g each). I use poly at 25 kg and it works perfect. It does not feel stiff. I am 37 years old and I play at the baseline mainly. It offfers...

Ferrer has just won Bastad using a blacked out Wilson racquet. He's been playing with this racquet since May, and his results have been improving a lot ever since. Somehow it seems that the pure drive plus was part of the problem. In another thread some people pointed out it could be a Steam...

I meant two grand slam titles, I think they were Roland Barros and US Open. I did not mean he did "the Grand Slams" twice ;) Sent from my Lenovo A7600-F using Tapatalk

The easier is the best solution. However, the easier depends on your level and your rival's. If you can win with deep forehands close to the middle, you do it. If you can't, because your rival is better, cross-court, and so forth. The higher in the ladder you get, the more complex...

2016 and I have to laugh at those students of Rasputin who said, in 2004, that serve and volley would soon be back. It is the technology, mainly the strings, that have allowed players to hit very good passing shots at the pro level and kill serve and volley players (Mahut and F.Lopez were born...

I do agree that the ATP tour is not as its best neither, with Djokovic winning almost every tournament he gets into. At least Roger had Nadal, but Djokovic has nobody to stop him so far. I think that the ATP itself has realized that, therefore they are promoting the so called Next Gen, as they...

It seems that David's struggle continues. I think it's becoming worse since he seems to have lost consistency and faith. Today was even more painful as Pouille was using his prince tour. Sent from my Lenovo A7600-F using Tapatalk

I agree with you and also go further and say that the ATP protects the top 8 too much. They don't play 1st round at most Masters, and then they play below average players on 2nd rounds. This has helped the top 8 players from getting tired to 3rd rounds and beating players that have struggled to...

Sometimes I think that in the WTA tour physical strength plays a bigger role than in the ATP tour. Serena overpowers some players in a way that it is almost impossible in the ATP. Safin, Del Potro, Raonic, Kyrgios have never been able to beat other players by sheer power; consistency is needed...

I know he is aging, but it seems to me that lack of (a little extra) spin and extra power does not allow him to swing freely as he did with previous racquet. I hope he gets back in track and actually takes full advantage of the new racquet. Sent from my Lenovo A7600-F using Tapatalk

Say Chi Sin Lo, why do you get into this thread if you don't like to discussing this kind of topics? The idea is to discuss things with other people interested in the topic. We both had agreed that Ferrer knows best, but yet we have our opinions and like sharing them.

Hello!!! I've been watching Ferrer this season and I think he made a mistake by changing racquets. At first, I thought the change was going to be positive, that he could hit with more power, dominate rallies, serve bigger, and finish points earlier, he is 33 or 34, he needs as much help as Roger...

I agree with you. The problem is the lack of good oversize racquets with moderate weight, neither to low, not too high. Therefore, I will continue customizing mines, which I actually enjoy. Thank you for explaining twist weight to me

I do not find any problem to pronate my forearm despite the twist weight, big head size and relatively high swing weight (327). But as somebody said, there is a racquet for everyone, I am happy how mine turned out after the customization :)

What is the benefit of a low twist weight? I think it is one of the reasons why I enjoy oversize racquets. I'm not saying I believe it is better, I do want to know what feeling or what effect it possesses that you like. In my case I think I enjoy the high twist weight because I am small and not...

What about Vilas 1977? 16 titles, 2 grand slams and 46 match winning streak until Nastase used the spaghetti strings, followed by a 28 match winning streak.

What do you mean by TW? Twist weight? Torsional weight? Is it related to turning the face of the racquet?

It looks a nightmare for stringers, but as a previous post points out it must give great power for off center hits. You gotta try it and let us know how it feels. Who knows, if it works perhaps they would include this technology in smaller frames.

Thank you, I appreciate your links. I liked the first one. In the case of the XS109 I did not add much lead on the head of the racquet as it was already head heavy and with a high swingweight. It plays smooth as silk, so much sometimes feel like cheating.

Hello everyone, I started playing with this racquet 3 years ago. When my game improved I moved to "better" racquets and I felt that my level went up with them. However, when I started playing a tennis league I felt that in certain matches I needed a bigger head size to defend and turn defensive...
