Yeah, it was a gamble for me to buy a GMP as an alternative to PA 98, but they do turn out to be quite interchangeable. It's hard to find reliable source of YouTube reviews on GMP. Someone mentioned that the GMP string bed drill pattern doesn't produce very consistent balls. I don't have the skill level to tell whether that's true or not. If you and your hitting partner both think GMP has enough precision compared to PA 98, then I may seriously consider switching to GMP.
I did try the Gravity MP 2025.
My current racket is the Speed Legend Pro,
with a strung weight (including overgrip) of 333g and a balance of 320mm.
The string is Hawk Power at 52/50 tension.
As for the tested Gravity MP,
its strung weight (including overgrip) is 315.7g, and the balance is 331mm.
The strings is also Hawk Power at 52/50 tension.
First impressions of the Gravity MP:
GMP has a larger sweet spot. (everyone knows)
GMP is less powerful compared to the Legend Pro. Especially when serving, I had to put in more effort.
However, I think the larger sweet spot might be the reason my serve success rate improved obviously.
GMP feels stable, with no issues so far.
GMP’s swing weight is much lighter than the Legend Pro, but I couldn’t feel much difference during play.
This was surprising, considering TW’s measured swing weights are 315g vs. 330g.
I think it might be because the Legend Pro has an unstrung balance of 310mm, which makes it feel lighter when swinging.
But there’s still a difference in overall weight. Legend Pro tends to make my arm gets tired more easily.
GMP has a better feel when hitting the ball compared to the Legend Pro.
These are my thoughts so far.
