Let me start off by mentioning my current racquets of 3 years Dunlop AG 200- @12.87oz and 2 at 13.13oz. Finding that they are slowly taking away from my game- the power that was once there is dwindling- physically I am not. Strung MSV hex mains 16 and Gosen OG sheep mirco 16 @ 60/58- and yes i have played around with going lower.
At first some might find the two racquets in the Title, completely different. Some have even complained that the Bio 300 tour is too light-not enough plow through- small sweet spot etc... Since demoing The Bio 300 Tour, I have found that the sweet spot is rather large and forgiving, the racquet in stock form has enough plow through, and feels very good through the contact point- allowing for pinpoint accuracy.
However, having played with a large number of the Donnay Line, Black 94, Blue 94(Loved this one but love the sweet spot of the blue 99 more), Blue 99 and the Dark Red 94- After playing a match and warming up with the Donnay XBlue 99 and the Dunlop 300 tour- my hitting partner/opponent mentioned that the feel generated from the Donnay Xblue 99 was more powerful and then spin too. I could spin my second serve up into his shoulder height and one that was close to his head- he's about 6ft.
My Question is, With the feedback and actually game play of the Donnay Xblue 99- which was all top notch- for those who know- would adjusting the the Donnay xBlue 99 with the middle weight but cap allow more feel toward that experienced with the Bio 300 Tour? Or might the XRed 99 be more on spot- but then I give up the low Flex that the Blue99 has- which provides for some controlled power and whip- especially on serves!
Thanks to those who take the time in dissecting and providing their expertise- and or thoughts..
