Auxetic Extreme Tour Alternative

[AshenOne1988]

Hi Guys,

Looking for a bit of advice.

I'm a 3.5-4.0 player, semi western forehead, two handed backhand, rely mainly on my serve.

Looking for a racket somewhere between an Extreme Tour and PT57E (Random I know)

The Extreme Tour is a little too powerful and the PT57E is obviously hard to play with at my level but the feel is top notch.

Ideally looking for something flexible, with a max beam width of 22mm. Somehow I serve better and faster with the PT57E and assume it's the beam width/ higher swingweight ?

I did try an Auxetic Radical Pro and hated it, that 64 RA must be a lie, it felt horrible.

Any suggestions would be welcome ?

Thank You

before we jump into frames, good idea is to think about strings. What strings in the Extreme, PT57E, and Rad PRo?

what relative tension as well?

there was a stiff string in my Rad Pro demo and higher than I'm used to and it felt awful. but I'm open to giving it a go with my personal setup

Thanks for the help so far guys. My usual setups are Isospeed Grey Fire at 52lbs or Gut/4g at 59/56lbs. The Gut/4g is my fave but you know UK weather equals rain or damp conditions quite a lot.
Has anyone had experience with the Gravity Tour as a Wilson Blade/CX200 alternative ?

Try a prestige tour auxetic

I would try the K7 lime, top comfort, good control, superbe feel. With the right string set up this is a great racquet.
