Head 360 GSP vs Head Youtek GSP

Hello!

I am currently using the Head GSP.

I have tried various other rackets as I wanted more power such as the PO7 <16x19>, Blade 98 CV <18x20>, RF97, PS97, DR98, V-Core Tour G.

I always go back to the Youtek GSP as none of the rackets can replicate the 'heft' and control of the gsp as I hit a flatter ball. (The Blade has the 'heft' of the GSP but it lacks weights on the hoop of the racket while the RF97 is too heavy).

Anyone can compare the Youtek GSP with the 360 GSP? I am thinking of buying the 360 as it could provide the heft of the youtek version, while being more powerful and spin friendly.

Sounds like you gel with the GSP, if you have tried all other options like string choice, a more powered poly or gut poly hybrid, lowering tensions, lead tape e.t.c
then can I suggest to extend the frame? You can purchase xtp end caps and this will extend your frame to 27.5 (27.4 inches approx strung)
I have one pro stock GSP with the extended length, and with gut poly in it it murders the ball while the dense pattern does it's thing...

I am trying out a hybrid set up just yesterday to increase power and feel like its an improvement from a full poly set up.

Just read the review of the 360 that the string pattern in the 360 GSP is slightly more open and thought it could be what I am looking for.

Was wondering if anyone have hit with both, and could feedback if the 360 is as stable and hefty as the youtek one :D

I tried the dr98, but it felt really hollow without any weight behind my shots when hitting flat... same with the PO7..

Give it a try you never know, you could also try out some control oriented 16x19 patterns with 8 mains in the throat like a dr98.
A worthy try the prince textreme tour 100p, beautiful frame!
Sometimes some frames can never be replicated...

Ditto the Textreme Tour 100P. More power than GSP and more comfort. Does not sacrifice control. The 18x20 is nicely open and generates huge spin if you can swing it fast enough.

I haven't played with any other Speeds, but I play with the 360 Speed MP, and power is not an issue for me at all. For what it's worth.
 
im currently playing the Speed 360 Pro, which is lighter than the Project One 7, which was my previous racquet. the 360 has similar power but better feel, control and bigger sweetspot.

If you’re looking for more power, how about the Pure Drive? prior to the PO7, i played the Pure Drive Plus (extended length). lots of power and your serves will be like Roddick. it wasnt much of an adjustment from going from the PD+ to the PO7.

I've also got the 360 Pro, coming from the pure strike 16x19. I agree with your comparison. I added 2g at 12 and at the top of the handle. @OP measure the specs of your current racquet and tweak a new frame with tungsten if needed. I'm loving the feel of this frame as well!

Thanks for the comparison with the Pure Strike 2017.

I have tried it last month, and found it be very "hollow". It has plenty of spin and power, but my balls end up with a loopier trajectory. Glad to hear that the 360 has a bigger sweetspot and better control.

The balls I hit the Youtek Head Graphene Speed Pro are more penetrating and flatter compared to the Pure Strike.

I guess the 360 is in between the Youtek GSP and the PO7?
