5.0 plus for Regna 98, VC95, and Blade Pro?

[FuzzyYellowBalls]

Interesting musings, I've used the VC95 2018 and 2021, and tested the 2023, now use the Regna 98. I am not a 5.0. However, I rarely miss the sweet spots and I actually think these rackets have power.at string tension around 50.

What rackets are giving "easy points", I'm not so sure the Yonex are that difficult to use, I'd have to guess the Blade Pro is though, since the regular Blade is no joke.

The VC95 and Regna 98 have similar size sweetspots and other specs, the Ezone 98 is not that far off, more power and less weight, but is there that much of a difference?

Ironically I don't know any 5.0 plus players that like the Regna that much, since it's kind of gimmicky in a strange way.

My friend is a 4.0 and plays with the Regna 98. He is going to Nationals tomorrow

I don't take any advice that guy puts out seriously.

Yeah that video is ridiculous. First of all, why is it so slow? The guy speaks like 1 word per second and takes long pauses to try to remember words like "racket" and "play."

"We're going to be talking about... three...


of...

our most...

favorite rackets..."

Then he's like "Including the Blade Pro -- I don't have a Blade Pro right now."

THAT'S LITERALLY ONE OF THE ONLY THREE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!

Dude, try writing down what you're going to say, or god forbid do more than one take if you're publishing a video to YouTube. Embarrassing.

I know so many people share your complaint about his talking speed, but to tie it in and defend the video concept a little, they extensively tested the Blade Pro "they " being him, but more reliably the two younger "coaches" rated it 2nd only to the Regna, just to bring the video into context as far as three rackets the channel loved.

One of the Worst tennis channels on YouTube. Guy knows nothing

This. The two young coaches, and the older one, have some value, but that guy's a clown.

One video which comes to mind was the one where he was advising a string set-up of Confidential in the mains / multifilament in the crosses (he massively pushes Solinco products). The player he was stringing this for was consistently breaking the crosses first, which he put down to her strokes mechanics, brushing the ball laterally. And then adding "I would love for her to start breaking the mains first one day." Which is akin of saying: "A hot knife always goes through soft butter, but I would love for the soft butter to go through the hot knife one day".

This, from a guy who professionally sells tennis gear. I pity the poor sods who buy from him and rely on his advice.
