    Are all 16/19 rackets string eaters?

    This is my third thread in span of half an hour. Hope that doesnt break some rules. I was away from this forum for a long time, so I have a lot to share :) Anyways - very recently I bought Wilson Blade 100 V9. I must admit, I totally fell for the reviews on TW suspecting most of it was pure...

    Racket experiment - SW and balance

    Hello, I have a thought experiment for you. Lets say we have two same rackets: Both are 328 g static weight (mass), 332 swingweight, 5 pts head light (towards handle tip). Now I add 10 grams to the bottom of handle of racket 2 (at 0 cm position). This presumably doesnt change SW of racket 2...

    How does twistweight affect volleys in doubles?

    Especially at the net, does a higher twistweight make volleys easier when contact is made off-center? In typical doubles situations, fast exchanges, reflex volleys, aggressive net approaches, and balls coming at you laterally, what should I prioritize more in a racquet? Higher twistweight...

    Fonseca was using an interesting Pro Stock racket in the Miami Exhibition

    Did anyone notice this? It's clear that there's a line that comes all the way down from the throat/lower hoop that circles round above the Yonex logo at the top of the handle. If we compare to photos from his title winning campaign in Basel, it's easy to see that it's a completely...

    Which is Yonex best “Tour/Heavy” Racket?

    Yonex offer a heavier (315g+) racket in all their lines, something not all brands do. My question is, which one do you think is best and why? - Ezone 98 Tour - Percept 97H - Vcore 98 Tour - Vcore 95 (310g) From my opinion, the most “pro-stock feel” racket out of all of these is the Percept 97H.

    Which of the followinng rackets have the highest playability ceiling: pa98, gt 98, 305s, ps97 v14, ezone 98

    What I mean by this, when you're on and have ''mastered'' all your strokes, which racket gives most bang for your buck. For example (not saying I have mastered anything) but when I feel like i'm playing really well and use the pa98, no matter how hard I try I just can't get the right feeling of...

    Yonex E-Zone 100+

    I use the Yonex Ezone 100+ 7th Gen (2022). I really love the racket. I checked out the specs of the new 8th gen 100+ online and it’s a bit different. SW, Balance, etc. If you use the 100+ 7th gen and try out the new 8th gen, feel free to drop your opinions.

    Examples of Beam profiles being different than advertised

    In the Tfight thread there was some discussion about the advertised beam profiles didn't match what people measured. I'm curious if you guys have other racquets where you noticed that. Surely 0.5-1mm difference won't matter much in the end but I find it interesting nonetheless. To start with...

    Can tweener racquets be used effectively by an advanced player ?

    I’ve seen a lot of college and pro players use tweener sticks. If they can play with these, should we too ? Is it the right racquet for them even if they hit long a lot ?

    Why is Sinner still playing with Speed 2022 paintjob…

    …after becoming the posterboy for Speed 2024, which was launched on 18th January? Indian Wells is now the third tournament after AO and Rotterdam where we see Sinner still using racquets with the old paintjob, doesn’t make any sense from marketing perspective.
