Here’s how I would see the process: The repressurization in the vessel occurs slowly through the wall of the ball due to the porous nature of rubber, while they flatten due to external pressure as long as there's a pressure difference remaining and equilibrium isn't reached. In practice, the...

If you had a 14 psi ball in an enviroment where the pressure is the same, the ball would feel ”pressureless.”

The hardest part is that, probably, you are developing or regressing, and the best racquet for you today might not be the one in the future. Ultimately, settling is a combination of knowing how you play, who you are, and being afraid of losing one's identity.

CX400 Tour vs Blade v8 100 vs Ezone 100, anyone? Why are some reviewers claiming that the CX400T has an inconsistent or erratic string bed? On paper, essentially everything except increasing flexibility in the shaft contradicts that.; The string pattern appears very even, and there's a constant...

You understand that the advice you were referring to was formulated in a setting similar to an AA gathering in a pub, where free drinks facilitate the exchange of wisdom.

This is a very subjective topic, but IMO, it’s better to develop stroke technique and fine motor skills overall than to compensate for the lack of them by using a very control-oriented frame or depend on monstrous fitness and power levels. Play with a racquet that has the most power in the...

We still haven’t taken out those aforementioned balls, but even 20 psi obtained by a different ball pressurizer seemed to revive balls used for 4 hours, which were previously unplayably soft and didn’t allow much shaping of the trajectory. They are still a tad softer than new balls but bounce at...

I'm at a crossroads, where my holism is hitting the net. It seems that no matter how many swings I take, none can match the effortless prowess of the Pure Drive. And as if that weren't enough, I've taken the plunge and bid farewell to my faithful companion, coffee. Is it a sad descent into the...

We just bought an 18-liter keg with my friends. Attaching the ball-lock connector and further attaching it to the bike valve extension hose was a breeze. We pumped it all the way up to 35 psi using a bike pump, and some of the balls seemed to collapse judging by the sounds, but I reckon most of...

I have no problem being sometimes wrong in some specific detail and appreciate being corrected. But you know what? Being wrong isn’t unfamiliar to you either, referring to the previous thread concerning the manufacturing places. There, you state things that are presumably wrong as obvious facts...

Not true. They don’t get their racquets from Chinese factory.

You are right; the quality of being bad or good is always a bit controversial, but what I'm hoping for is more actual pro player racquets to be available and also overall more versatility in the retail market. Pro stock racquets are obviously more expensive to manufacture because of the lower...

Since it appears that engaging in a more nuanced debate with you is not feasible, let me simplify: isn't it still abundantly clear that it would be great to have more professional-grade equipment available for sale? And yeah, I should be very embarrassed for wanting to have better equipment...

”Because if they don’t know, they are also probably too bad for wielding the real thing...” This is getting out of hand. Your logic is that because many don’t know the truth, it is good for them to be misled and use a cheap fake. You reason like a dictator, not like someone supporting...

I get it that your job is to support Head by any means, but c'mon mate, are you telling us that something closer to Novak's actual frame wouldn't be more interesting for players and raise more hype than this silly paintjob bluff? And what you told about the small sweetspot and free power is not...

It seems like he managed to snag a racket resembling the one wielded by the REAL LEGEND, in a desperate bid to bridge the chasm of talent between them through mimicry.

MXG-1

Exception proves the rule.

They use different prepregs (read more expensive) for their pro racquets, so retail djoko racquet wouldn’t play the same even if the specs were matched otherwise.

Maybe there’s some sense in categorizing those over 35 as middle-aged. Because for me, the transition to middle age in terms of racquets came when I was 36 years old. When I was still 35 years young, I mainly used control-oriented racquets like the Gravity Pro, Blade 18x20, and Vcore 95. But...

:laughing: Wow… You mean, you need SW machine to match the stick exactly to stock target value of regular PD? Wouldn’t you then need also that machine for the PD regular to confirm the specs? Moreover, you can measure the balance on basically any stand and using a ruler. Also kitchen scale and...

Pure Drive SW 290 PD Team SW 285 It’s pretty much the same racquet if you add weight into the handle

Yes, you need commitment to your fitness regimen. Running wildly all over the court, pushing the balls, frees you from the burden of thinking the game, something you might tend to do with a bigger head size.

- Take a rather stiff pole and add some weight to the rear end, it surely hurts its maneuverability, though you might be able to hammer throw it for a longer distance and the added inertia (when it has gotten moving) plows through a lighter object easier. - Then add some weight to the handle end...

I’d primarily try the one you already have with softer or looser strings first. Also adding couple of grams distributed to 3 and 9 o’clock might help, or little less at 10 and 2 o’clock. Maybe silicone inside the handle? Like some has mentioned above the new Pure Aero 100 is maybe ”easier”, but...

I want to make this clear: Pure Strike 100 is nothing like attacking frame like PS 98 16x19 nor Pure Drive 100. PS100 must be one of the worst racquets for flat shots, but the other fore-mentioned two handles them pretty well despite their spin-friendly characteristics. Because the stiffness is...

Please correct me if I’m wrong because this comes purely from my intuition with only few evidence to back it up, but I think Yonex and Babolat are the leaders. Yonex has even incorporated some acclaimed nanomaterials in their latest vcore racquets, which I think might actually be felt because...

I’d add tungsten/lead tape like 2-3 g at 12 o’clock. 3 g would increase the SW about 10 units. And then add about the same amount or slightly more of bluetack inside the buttcap to keep the balance HL enough for aggressive game. Don’t go mad on raising the string tension, even after adding as...
