Donnay Pro one 107 Octa (Anybody hit one?)

BHold81

Semi-Pro
Saw this new model Pro One, and am pretty interested in it. Has anyone out there given it a go that give some impressions?
 
I haven't put any weights on it. I generally like my rackets pretty solid but this flexes more than my regna lol.

Otherwise feels pretty solid. Definitely more for comfort.
 
I've been hitting one, on and off for the past few months. It's a very solid feeling frame with a generous sweetspot. It does play really soft though, which is great if you have elbow issues. The original Pro One OS is one of my all time favorite frames, I played it a ton when I was young. But now I need something more elbow friendly and lighter in weight and this definitely fits the bill. I was used to heavier and stiffer racquets, so there was an adjustment period, but once I got it dialed in I really started to crush some balls with it. I strung it at 50lb, full bed of soft poly.
 
Is there a dealer in the U.S.? Being a long-time player of the Limited Oversize, I would love to try one!
You can order direct from Donnay Online.

They distribute in the U.S. You can also buy direct from them on Amazon but you have a limited selection of grip size and weight if you go that route.

Thanks for the link, Ronin74!!
Is the grip shape the same as the originals?
 
These racquets have a strangely harsh feeling, and they are filled with "solid core Xenecore" which does NOT feel anything like foam. The feeling on contact is definitely not plush and not pleasant. My experience with the distributor has also not been pleasant.

on their website they say the pro one 97 is as close you can get to a pt57 whatever frame… :-D
