Had a fantastic hit with the Extreme Pro tonight.
I tweaked the balance to be a little more HL than in previous outings. This made the racquet swing much easier (whippier), made it feel more manoeuvrable, allowed me to better time my swing and make easier adjustments to the face of the racquet at contact.
This all allowed me to focus on hitting the ball in front and to more easily be able to focus on my extension point through the shot and the swing path (extend my shots and follow-through). I was also able to accelerate through my shots a lot faster. This enabled me to both shape the ball very well (when I wanted to add spin and power), and flatten the ball for a flatter and more penetrating shot.
The racquet had great control, awesome power, fantastic directional control, and great comfort. The slices were vicious, penetrating, stayed low to the ground (off both sides), and I was able to use them both defensively and offensively. My BH top spin was controlled yet powerful, and I could hit it well both cross-court and down-the-line. My FH was wonderful, I could hit it both cross-court and DTL, I could change directions very easily due to the stability of the racquet, and I could choose the amount of spin I wanted to impart on the shot (shape the ball very well). I could achieve great depth-of-shot off both sides, as well as hit acute angles to pull my hitting partner off the court.
I did not serve.
The more I play with this racquet, the more I love it. Both the Extreme Tour and the Extreme Pro are fantastic racquets, and they both excel in slightly different areas, but are potent weapons.
