Absolutely. If you're just a home/casual player and don't have to worry about lugging equipment around, a good tube head/combo setup is perfect.Tried multiple modelers (Line 6, Katana Mk I and II, Headrush, and other modeling amps) but keep coming back to plug and play tube amps. If I played out might feel differently for reliability sake and ease of use and in the mix quality but I’m just an in home hobbyist with little or no real talent (kind of like tennis).
I would definitely betray Neo, like Cypher, just to get plugged back in. No brainer. The matrix had wine.whichever one keeps me in the matrix. i dont want to be out there raw dogging the real world like neo
Leagues started back up and I went full on commitment to the Top Banana. I have the 300 Limoncello with about 7 grams on the handle. It's a great frame, but I've tabled testing it and have 3-4 weeks more of pure XL playing as to not mess with my game. Once I committed to the XL, I had to really hit a lot of balls to keep it dialed in and reduce the fluctuations you can get going back between lengths.@tim-ay, what was the final verdict on the limoncello? I thought you were pretty serious about the 300 ... or was it the 315? I ask because I'm still keen on hitting the 300 myself when TW gets it in ... if they do. And I might revisit the dreamsicle to see if I'm remembering things accurately. And the Pro 97 310 might need to be hit. Just to make sure a second BA Pro is THE way forward.
I don't think it has any chance of being a #1 for me, but it will definitely be a frame I bring out for something like social doubles....

Jury is out on the Limoncello, but it is a wonderful feeling frame. I don't think it has any chance of being a #1 for me, but it will definitely be a frame I bring out for something like social doubles.... which I rarely play, but got sucked into that last night and REALLy enjoyed myself. I had forgotten how fun just messing around with some great guys in doubles can be. When I'm old and slow, I will definitely do more of that
, haha. Well, I didn't mean it really, it's just a timing thing. I only hit a 3 or 4 times before going full Top Banana.Not quite the glowing recommendation I was almost expecting I'm a little hesitant now.
2021 Q+5X Pro..... it's all yellow and stuffWhat is the top banana?

Negatives of it for me, doesn't have that superb 16x20 PK thang'. I just love that pattern and layout in the PK's. Results in a higher launch and, initially, less control for me but I think that would change with adaption and some focus.
Positives, wonderful feel. lots of spin. and way more pop than normal for that type of classic feeling frame. those magic beans......
I'll come back to it in December and give you more info.
I think I'll do some type of JGads play off. Maybe I'll put the Limoncello against a yet to be purchased Orangina for a smack down, color extreme fight. Then maybe the winner goes against the Doppio. Then the 7G/Top Banana fight. But fighting with the 7G and Top Banana is almost not fair to any frame, so it might just be a 27" playoff.I know what you meant, man and I don't blame you. You're smart to commit while competing.
It's definitely my kind of racquet, so I'm not deterred. And hopefully by December, we can compare notes.
Kudos to you guys. I play piano and tried so hard to play guitar and be one of the cool kids. I can play simple stuff, but suck overall. Still have a 1958 Gibson acoustic (was my uncles), and my Alvarez acoustic from when I was 20 or so. My daughter is taking it up now and if she gets good the Gibson will go to her.
The feel of the Dreamsicle just can't be matched and the fact that it's paired with modern power makes it a perfect combination.
when you start buying them back … for the second time … you will have arrived.
If these 30+ mph winds continue and I can't find accommodations indoors, I might not get to hit again today.
It's blowing over 40 right now. It's gnarly.Super windy here too. After not having played in 5 days I'm itching to get out there. It may not happen if the wind doesn't die down though.
Pills … tennis is pills
This is awesome! I started at 6, and while I'm not the best player in the world I did travel with a pretty well known band for a couple of months when they're keyboardist had an injury from snowboarding. This was way back in about 2006. Guy I grew up with was the lead singer and I thought the opportunity would be fun. He's still on the road, recording and writing for a major label. That life was not for me so as soon as his regular guy healed up I went back to Orlando for wakeboard season.My nearly 3 year old daughter just started piano lessons. She doesn't really have the coordination to play anything at the moment but she already knows what a treble clef and half staff and those things are. It was more to get her in to some activity and out of the house. She just really took to liking it.
Apparently not taking kindly to their marketing campaign being called “disastrous.” But I also offered to help?

The first one I got was underweight so I leaded it a little. I have both of mine matched at 327 grams, 329 SW and 5 pts HL. I think the second one only needed 2 grams of putty in the buttcap to get there.
Not relevant to this post, but farther up - good luck in first tournament! Let us know how you do and what you think of the experience overall. I’m thinking of playing a 35+ Seniors(?) Tournament in a couple of weeks. Never played by age before, wondering if I’ll get smoked.Quoting for my own reference so I don't have to go back and try to find the post again.

Just remember, learning how to win against players you haven’t seen before takes some time. Don’t beat yourself up if you lose, but have fun trying to win.Thanks, and I definitely will let you guys know how I do.

Gotcha thanks.2021 Q+5X Pro..... it's all yellow and stuff
Log into usta site and see if they posted the draws.I'm older so to me it's not as big a deal if I lose. I'm doing it more for the experience and to get better.
For those of you who have done tournaments before, it's in 3 days and I haven't received an email with info like times, etc. When should I be receiving that?

I strung the Rad MP with Lynx Tour orange crossed with Lynx Tour Silver. Hit serves for about 15 minutes and did some drop swings with it. Seems pretty good but wont really know until I get to play some games with it.
I had to add 1g at 12, 2g in the throat, and 2g in the trap door to get it similar to @Power Player specs.
I would have crossed the Lynx Tour with grey fire but didnt have any. Calling the captain of the @J011yroger
Agreed2018 needed weight for me. 2021 can be played stock. If you don't want to add weight I'd avoid the 2018.
For people who have hit with the 2018 and current VC95, which one do you guys prefer? I have the opportunity to get 4 2018s for a good price but am enjoying the new model. No experience with the prior.
I haven’t hit with the 2018 version but all the guys I know who have tried it say it’s unstable and absolutely needed lead and even then some said it still needed more help.Hahah seems like sentiment is pretty strong then. Thanks guys, I'll stick with the 2021.

Did you try the Q tour 315 (frappuccino?)? Did it compare with the BA or have you ruled it out?@tim-ay, what was the final verdict on the limoncello?

cool - that didn't take long...I found a great deal on some new Dreamsicles but I've gotta get these VCores sold first.
Tried them both a while back. Great frames but didn't have the same kind of pop that I have become accustomed to and look for in a racquet now.cool - that didn't take long...
have you by any chance tried the Gravity MP/Pro?
I lean towards the 2018 but its a close call honestly.For people who have hit with the 2018 and current VC95, which one do you guys prefer? I have the opportunity to get 4 2018s for a good price but am enjoying the new model. No experience with the prior.
