Tnks for inputs , my hitting spot in my racquet is now a little bit to the lower in the string so i hope i can adjust when i test

I had high hopes for the Speed Pro, but I really disliked its feel, which to me was hollow and plasticky. It just didn't feel solid like the Gravity Pro, despite its decent swingweight. The various shots were fine with it, although they definitely had less oomph and spin than with the GPro. Finally, I found it to be very string and tension sensitive: mushy with some and tinny with others. The GPro changes but pretty much everything I've tried it in feels good in its own way.
For me the GPro was better in every way, even the "manoeuvrability" with respect to which everyone loves to complain about it.

A lot of people test speed pro vs gravity pro , personally i tested speed pro auxetic for five days but not same time with gravity pro and i liked but also i didnt quite feel good with thick beam because i am used with 20 thinner beam so its was more about personal feeling than a racquet problem,because i played good with it.
So i would like recomandations what would be the closest competitor for gravity pro with thiner beams 20-22 and not heavier , if u couldnt play with gravity pro what would u choose?

I broke a string last night... but it wasn't the gut; one of the central Irukandji crosses broke right when it entered one of the grommets. Very weird place for a string to break, and not something that I've ever seen before.
My guess about what happened brings up a relevant point: this string is a pain to string. Since its raison d'être is providing a large surface area for the mains to sit on, I make sure there isn't a single twist in the string as it crosses the stringbed, else the main that crosses at that point will be resting on the pointy side of the string rather than the flat one. Naturally, a flat string must do a 90 degree twist as it enters the grommet channel and another one as it re-emerges; but any more, and I made sure to correct it. It was on removing tension from a cross to correct an extra twist that I tried to wheedle out the twist (located in the grommet channel) with some pliers and propagate it forward without unweaving the string---here lay my mistake, I think: the string is pretty thin and delicate, so I think I did enough damage for it to break some 10 hours of play later.
It's a shame, because I was running a parallel experiment with 1.30 and 1.35 gauge VS gut to check durability. So far, after 10 hours with the 1.30 and 6 with the 1.35, the Irukandji crosses have definitely compressed the gut to a certain degree, such that they want to sit in the parallel tracks they were strung in, but it isn't notching per se---there is no fraying whatsoever, which I usually get after a short few hours with BHBZ crosses: a strand of the twisted gut is cut through and proceeds to separate from the mother cord, at which point I place a stringsaver. Nothing of the sort here---it really is quite remarkable.
So I'll be continuing with this hybrid. Playability maintenance has been brilliant, with both gauges of gut. I do notice a bit more pop and spin with the smaller gauge, although the difference is marginal. I'll restring the crosses on the same gut, weaving on the opposite side of the mains, and we'll resume the experiment.

I've been using the GP for a couple of months now. A few observations:
- The GP likes early prep'ed lazy swings, not short compact strokes.
- At the net the mass crushes a ball
- It's surprisingly good at touch shots
- Even on poorly hit shots , when being stretched out wide the mass will see the ball somehow get over the net.
- It looks great.
- The only downside is maneuverability but a little lead and arm conditioning takes care of that.

Is there some sort of consensus on the comparison between the 2019/21 version and the 2023 Auxetic version?

I’ve demoed 21 version and thought it was less forgiving, tougher to spin and lift the ball. I wasn’t impressed
Could’ve been particularly bad string setup, but it was poly at what seemed like normal tension..

I played all three versions and I can say that the 2019/2021 has a crisper feel than the 2023. 2023 has a muted buttery feel to it where as the 2019/2021 I can feel the ball a little bit more. Again this is from my personal experience, others might have a different opinion on the feel/power/etc.
Similar experience for me. I played the 2019 for 3-4yrs and now have had the 2023 for almost a year.
Play both with VS gut/ghostwire hybrid (62lbs/58lbs).
In a blind racquet test at different times I think you would really struggle to distinguish the 2019 and 2023. Hit them side by side with an identical string setup (which I have done) and the 2023 (to me) feels a touch more solid and a little more muted (which for my relatively high tension setup is nice).
One thing to note: when I had my 3 2023’s matched I was able to get a slightly lower static weight allowing me to customize more. So interestingly, the 2023 felt slightly more solid/muted despite being lighter and with a lower SW (you would expect the opposite, so the material change does seem to make a difference and I would suspect more noticeable in an equivalently weighted setup).
Hope this helps

Just popping in to say I think I’m joining this club! (Or at least until I have a bad few days on the court and my eye wanders)
Picked up a used 21 GPro and had my first couple hits with it this week - what a fun, fun stick. Ball comes off nice and heavy, plenty of spin access, solid on defense and a dream when I step in to attack. Maybe I have just always hit the ball a little higher on the stringbed without realizing it because I felt like I was instantly drilling the sweet spot. Launch angle might be a little low but that actually felt great after a quick adjustment. I’m gushing and this is obviously a honeymoon thing but it’s been a fun, fun week and I can’t wait to get back out there. Been dealing with some mild elbow soreness after a bad demo, too, and the GPro felt perfectly soft and comfortable.

Recently switched to the Gravity Pro and am hoping you guys can help answer some questions. 4.5 player coming from a long line of heavy box-beam control sticks, with a brief dalliance with an Ezone Tour.
String setups
- Poly recs: I've tried Hawk, Lynx Tour, and Razor Code, all between 44-48lbs and 1.25-1.30mm. Find that I prefer the lower tension to enhance pocketing, with Hawk and RC being my favorites so far. Generally prefer round polys, but am open to 6 or more sided ones, potentially as a poly/poly hybrid. Looking to optimize feel and dwell time.
- Gut / Poly hybrid: I've got a half-set of 16g Luxilon gut. Thinking of either going with ALU cross versus something w better durability like Max Power. Tension recs and other poly cross considerations?
Customization
Mine came in a little underspec: 311g, 31cm, SW 294, TW 13.1
Customized one w leather grip and 2g lead @12: 323g, 31cm, SW 300, TW 13.3
Stock one I can play totally fine with. Easier to be defensive as it's whippier, and I serve more consistently with it. Heavier one though plays better overall, especially from the baseline, but I've lost something on my serve with it. Thinking of taking the lead off and playing it with just the leather grip.
Any other customization recs?

I usually prefer higher tensions on shaped polys like HyperG/HyperG Soft/Lynx Tour. Something like 48 in the Winter/52 in the Summer.
Had VS/Alu once and predictably Alu died quickly. Before it died it was glorious. If doing it again, I'd definitely go with Max Power (Rough) for crosses.
I'm around 335SW on all my GPros. If I could, I'd take weight out of the handle. And I'll think about prostocks the first day I miss a shot because of the racquet

Finding myself back in this thread as I look for a new racket. I've used the GPro in the past before and have loved it, but became addicted to the easy power of the Pure Aero's, until they started to wreck my arm and wrist. One of the things I'm sceptical about is that when switching directly between the two, it made me think that maybe I do value a racket with a bit more of an energy return.
The reason why I'm even thinking of the GPro again though is because when it does feel right, you feel like nothing else can do what it does better, and you know straight off the bat that you don't have to tinker it in any way as it's so solid and stable.
My wrist or Elbow didn't hurt with the Gravity, but I can remember my shoulder getting a bit tired after a longer session, but I don't mind that as much. With the Auxetic version, how has the GPro been with people's arms?

Try the speed? Best of both worlds tbh. I tried the gravity pro and really just didn’t understand the hype. Played the ezone 98 for awhile and liked it but the speed just seems to be so much better than both overall but not dominantly better than one in most categories

IMO its better. Mainly because the pattern is not so closed. An 18x20 will always give more feedback to the arm and feel more boardy. I don't mind that at all, but the VC98 is definitely a softer feel. And that is saying a lot because the Gravity is a very comfortable frame as well.

Yeah the Speed is one of the others I'm heavily considering. Probably the MP though as even though I'm of course aware the Gravity Pro is an 18x20, a 16x19 most probably does suit me better, and there's always room for customisation with the Speed. Also the 60 RA and how auxetic 2.0 is supposed to provide a noticeably softer feel, so that does appeal to me with my recent arm issues.
Very interesting, thanks. I have heard that it's certainly a more dampened feel, just didn't imagine it to be to the extent at which it felt more so than the Gravity. I feel like I want the Gravity to be more for me (I love the auxetic paint job too), but the Speed MP and by the sounds of, now VC98 are on paper better suited to me and my game. Ideally I'd demo all of them and decide, but I've always been a just go out and buy guy!

Mine too. I simply never think about trying anything else anymore—the thought never even crosses my mind.
Unfortunately that means I've stopped coming here. Racquet people and technique people were my people—never understood shoe people or diehard-fan people or Big 3 counterfactual history speculators—and now that the racquet is fixed...
But my tennis has come on leaps and bounds.

More forgiving, more stable, smoother feel / a bit less pop.
Of course all that is based on similar weighting. Who knows what you’ll be actually holding in hand stock.
I have 3 GPros and each came quite differently weighted in stock form.

Very happy to be a part of the club. Although I'm also playing the MP (modded balance and weight to the Tour version), I find the Pro to be very addictive because of it's stability. Noticed that I should keep the gauge down (1.20 max), to not bring the swingweight up too much for me. Tourbite 1.30 was too much, currently Hyper-G soft at low tension (<20kg) feels very nice. Am planning to go through a bunch of other strings like M8 (bit unpredictable in my MP), Sync, Toroline (fb/hybrids), Hyper-G regular and round, ... We'll see.

I got a couple of pro stock GPros and an MP from a buddy. The MP and one of the pros are gloss. The gloss ones are more midnight blue with some sparkle and the blue/purple accents really pop. Oh and the gold color on Head and the G in gravity are silver on the gloss ones.
Looks very smooth! I got promised one to try from a friend but it's slightly above my specs, ~5-6 SW over. You mentioned in the older video a lot of thinner/lighter strings you have tried in an attempt to reduce the SW. What would be your top 2-3 picks from all you have sampled? and for completeness, if you'd get an underspec gpro and SW were no issue, what would be your string of choice?

I have two specs that work well at the moment, one i use for a bit more plowthrough and the other i use for a bit more manoeuvrability / wrist freedom
Can't exactly remember my balance points exactly, but these are the rough specs (balance point wise), the rest are measured properly
Spec 1) 2019 - 323g strung, 33.3cm balance, 338 SW (currently using Tru Pro 1.18mm Durafluxx) - or if i use Tour Bite 1.15mm it will be 331 SW (but i would increase the static back up by 5g)
Spec 2) 2021 - 327g strung, 32.8cm balance, 330 SW (currently using Volkl V-Square 1.20mm & Tru Pro Ghostwire 1.23mm) - secondary set up is Tru Pro Firewire Boost Hybrid
My original 2019 one is not really underspec, my 2021 one is - but with Tour Bite 1.15mm it gets it into my original favoured spec
But now that i've been messing around a little bit more, I also play very well with lighter static, head heavier balance and higher SW to compensate the lower static weight, because the static weight reduction allows me to swing just as fast, despite the higher SW, and doesn't tire me as fast, and i also find it more manoevurable overall compared to a typically heavier spec, for a better headlight balance
It's a very Sinnerish spec, but works well due to 20mm beam (i can't use Sinners Speed because of the 22mm beam) - but essentially i'm not truly gunning for a pro player spec, i'm just playing with what suits me, I think for example if you ratio'd Sinner's specs into a lighter set up, you could find just as many benefits and ease of use but at our levels

I recently tried an Auxetic Gravity Pro as a tester - and I was blown away by it.
My 2019 GPros are close to perfect but really beefy - both around 340 SW with Lynx Tour at 1.25 in it.
So when I am in time, they do everything close to perfection, but there is always the danger of that high swingweight biting you
The 2023 version felt a lot softer and easier to handle, I could change between slice, spin and flat shots super easy and served bombs.
So, since our season starts soon here, I ordered two more and was super happy with my choice.
Yesterday, I come home from training camp in Croatia and get the tester onto a swingweight measurement
Its 321 SW strung with Luxilon Adrenaline at 1.25 Head QC strikes again I guess
Now I am super scared of my other two frames coming in - because I think that a 330SW might feel like my old GPros again?
But seriously, what is this? about 12 points below spec SW??
All those big companies need to get their stuff sorted - testing frames will be useless at this QC

Thanks a lot for the info, I'll report back in after a couple weeks. Then I guess I'll try a spinny hybrid first, I think I have some Signum Pro X-Perience and round cross, and if it's too much I'll go the Tour Bite route. I assume then lively/alu strings work better, so I'll try that first. I'm more used to heavier static and more headlight balances, but I'll try the other ratio as well. Shouldn't be that far off the ISO 305 which I've used for a while.

Razor Code 125 @44lbs played really nicely. Crisp, very direct feel, excellent spin and control. Lasted me about 10 hours.
Currently trying out Razor Code / Razor Soft both 125 @44lbs and enjoying so far. Similar to full bed RC but a with a slightly softer, oily feel and a little less spin.
Lynx Tour 125 @45/44lbs also great. Little stiff at first but after a couple hours gets really soft but still grippy, tons of spin, just a little less controlled than the two above.

Yea weight QC on GPro is pretty bad…saving grace is that they all seem to flex, feel and play about the same once weight matched, so unless you like lighter spec, it can be corrected.
Between the demo and 3 GPros I bought each one had a unique swing and stability feel in stock form.
brought out my 360+ GPro last night and remembered one of them is an overspec, and had strung weight of 338SW and the other one is 330SW same 1.25 multi. cant remember the unstrung spces though.......

Yeah both my 2019s are overspec - but at least close to each other around the 340+ SW mark with Head Lynx Tour (granted, heavy string)
I've ordered 3 2023s through my coach, let's see what the range is on those and then I'll spec them to around 330SW for the season
Still my favorite stick to play with though, as it does all things very well but even puts a tad more power than a Blade e.g.
And the Auxetic design is SO much nicer than the 2019

Just strung up my new Gravity Pro Auxetic yesterday. Specs are 335g with OG, 32.5cm balance with 5g in the butt cap, and 337sw.
First thing I noticed is how plush and comfortable this racquet is. The feel and stability on contact is addicting. The ball coming off the string bed has a lower launch angle and penetrates through the court more. I did have a difficult time adjusting my prep and timing when striking the ball, as the racquet is not as quick through the air vs the PA98. I will definitely need more time with it but so far loving how plush, controlled, and precise this racquet is. I think I got a pretty beefy one though, didn't expect the SW to be that high.

Will be selling my Gpro Aux in a few days. It served me well for over a year, but while it has lots of great qualities, it's a bit too demanding in a more competetive setup.
Mine is 337 strung with overgrip and I can play well with it for about 40 mins. Really paint lines, super precise and and has a good power. But if you have a bit of an off day, it gives nothing for free.
Part of it, I think, is the thin and soft beam. It has its benefits, but you can feel it bending too much at times, like the energy of the ball and yours just dissipates like on a sponge, it feels quite bad when you want to smash it and it has no give.
Another thing is the handle and grip shape. This is more personal and subjective, but I have hard time using Head's grips. They feel short and too round, it's hard to feel the bevels, and on 2HBH - the hand on the top is grabbing the throat already.
I switched to Blade V9 100 and it's been an upgrade in every department, except for control I suppose, but eveything else is too big of an upgrade to care. Kind of tempted to leave GPro in the bag for the fun of it but these rackets are too expensive, so can't justify keeping it.

For spec 1 if it was on spec, How did you get to a 338 SW with only 323g strung? I have an on spec frame (315g unstrung) and with strings it weighs 332g with a 335 SW. With an OG and a dampener it weighs around 342g and 32 cm balance . Just curious how the weight is 323g for an on spec frame.

Kind of having a memory blank on how much these things weigh below, but roughly:
- If you have some older head frames laying around, they have the non weighted trap door, which is about 2g
- Weighted trapdoor is about 7g
- I replace replacement grip of Head hydrosorb pro (18g) with a Wilson featherthin grip (~11g) - but mine is heavily beaten up because of reuse, so it's actually like 9g
So that makes my stock weight 315g - 5g - 9g = 301g unstrung
301g + 17g strings + 5g overgrip = 323g strung

It's 338 with a 1.20mm string average weighting, so probably 342 stock with 1.25mm
335-338 is good, 330 with a bit more headlight balance (slightly) is also a very good set up
About a month with the GPRO. To me the best feature of the racket is its monster sweet spot which with along with the mass feels like your can plow through anything. I have mixed feelings about the control/power. You can swing to your hearts content and the racket kind of nerfs my power to get the ball. With most control frames I tried (blade 18x20, prostaff, percept 97d, Blade pro) the power scales to my inputs 1 to 1 like if I try to unload 100% of my power I’ll produce all the velocity I’m capable of. But with the GPRO it feels like it’s 90% of what I was expecting. Which is weird because with the mass, my normal rally balls don’t have that problem. I dunno maybe that was just a long winded way of saying the racket lacks power. Which will probably be a big duh! From the community… I guess a better way to put it is it lacks top end power or maybe it provides a feel of a powerful racket but isn’t?
It offers a pretty unique set of features, which is a breath of fresh air. Too many rackets play similar these days. I enjoyed it.
