Lendl
Semi-Pro
Got these four players rackets for a week demo from TW. I'll put them through the paces and try and share how things go for those of you looking at one or more of these rackets. All are brand new with plastic on the grips except the KPS88 which looks to have light use.
About me ...
I am a 5.0 all-courter that is primarily a baseliner with a two handed backhand and do a lot of slicing on the backhand side as well. Solid serve and a playing style maybe comparable to a Murray/Djokovic on a lower level
Initial Impressions
YT Prestige MP and Mid (Head FXP 16):
Very similar feel, both feel good but light. The grip shape does not seem that much more round like I had heard they were, still seems more rectangular like the Head grips of the past. Clearly not shaped like the Wilson. Cosmetic on these does look nice.
KPS88 (ALU Power/Gamma TNT 2):
Absolute hammer! I can't remember the last racket I used that did not have a decent amount of lead tape added at 3 and 9 or 10 and 2. This one will not for sure. I like a heavier racket and many guys that I play against that pick up my rackets always describe them as "clubs" but this thing is a sledgehammer. I've heard this many times and thought to myself "sure, it can't be that heavy" but yes it is. Feels like a piece of cast iron in your hand. Just has the feel to it that gives you confidence. I'm 6' 240 and keep in very good shape and it will take that to wield this thing around for a couple hours!
BLX Tour 90 (Hollow Core):
Gorgeous cosmetic and like others have said the internet images and even Federer on TV do not do it justice. Has excellent feel in your hand and though it feels a tad light for my tastes it just screams quality. This demo has the Hollow Core everyone hates so that is only drawback but this thing passes the look test with flying colors.
I'll be playing every day until they are due back at TW and I'll try and update how things are going each day.
