What kind of thin leather grip? I am searching for the right brand for the GP.I have ordered two matched. Soon to be in the club. Got thin leather waiting for them.
I found an unders-spec Gravity Pro (311 grams/303 sw) and put 1.15 hyper g in the hoop. Final sw was 329, which is perfect for me. 330 works too, but my serve really suffers with anything higher than that. Will be testing out 1.10 strings soon to see how that affects sw. My other stick is the Gravity Tour. Both have the same static weight (overgrip and dampener) is 11.7 oz strung. But the SW is the big difference.Mines are at 337gr ( static ) strung with 1.30, overgrip and dampener. With the weight of the frame you need to be on the top of your game to go to 3 sets match, but if you are in shape this frame rewards it, I am currently testing strings so far, I have tried:
1- Solinco Hyper G 1.25 - too firm outside sweetspot but great spin and heavy ball
2- Head Lynx 1.30 - power and comfort
3- Luxilon Adrenaline 1.30 - comfort and control not soo much spin though
I have still to test
1. Head Lynx Tour 1.25
2. Solinco Hyper G Soft 1.30
3. Solinco Hyper G 1.20 - can not wait to test this one, will it make the racquet a bit Head light compared to the 1.30?, lets see if I feel the difference
4. Wilson Revolve Spin 1.30
Will report my opinions in case someone is in the same situation

Feels completely different from my Tour, which has a SW of 323. I tried adding weight to the hoop in the Tour, and some in the handle, and it felt like a completely different racquet.Interesting approach to find a true tour version of the Gravity Pro![]()
I was saying the Tour should've been thin beamed like the Pro. Just a slightly lighter Pro.Essentially, I was looking for a slightly more manageable Pro without sacrificing the solidness of the Pro.
Ah, yeah. I don't know. I mean, I really like my Tour. It's very good at what it does, offering more pop with a slightly thicker beam, but less head light than the Pro...I was saying the Tour should've been thin beamed like the Pro. Just a slightly lighter Pro.
I tend to like a line to have a slightly similar feel...IT also seems like quite a few would benefit from a lighter Gravity Pro. You liked it enough to search for a second racquet. I have a exact spec gravity pro so I am happy.Ah, yeah. I don't know. I mean, I really like my Tour.

The Gravity line seems to be very well designed and rationalized. the MP/Tour/Pro are different racquets.
Totally get it. Just glad I found one I can handle. Stock right now is low-ish and I found mine at one place. I'm assuming this will change with the new inventory coming in 21I tend to like a line to have a slightly similar feel...IT also seems like quite a few would benefit from a lighter Gravity Pro.

I have both as well (as well as a GPro). Do you have any trouble adjusting to the differing launch angles (between Clash and Gravity)? Or did you even that out somehow?I have the Clash Tour in my bag as well as the Gravity Tour.
Both are great (for my play) and I really enjoy both - when it comes to power, I'd give the Clash the advantage. Easier for me to generate quick points, the Gravity takes more time to set the game up.
I wish the damn thing had an OFF switch! It eats battery just sitting in your bag.I've had the Head sensor about two months. Surprised it doesn't have more of a following. Impressive so far...I wish they sold separate chargers. Been remembering to charge, have only been caught with it dead twice. The battery seems to last somewhere between 6-8 hours. I carry a battery backup and have charged on the way to the court when I realized the battery was dead.
I've had it twice now where it's refused to switch on after a while in the bag. Then after I start charging it and check the app and it's nearly full. Perhaps it's going in to a deep sleep state?I wish the damn thing had an OFF switch! It eats battery just sitting in your bag.
I also have a clash 98, which is fun. But I almost exclusively play with the Gravity line now. Clash is great on kick serves and just drilling groundsteokes. I found it less ideal for actual match play.I have both as well (as well as a GPro). Do you have any trouble adjusting to the differing launch angles (between Clash and Gravity)?

I think you’ll like the hyper g 17g. I love that string in that gage and also find the thicker gages a bit harsh and low powered. Don’t be afraid to string the 17g at a higher tension than the 1.25gage- I think the 17g string comes alive when it’s strung tighter.Mines are at 337gr ( static ) strung with 1.30, overgrip and dampener.

I rather see them as different options to my performance and opponent.I have both as well (as well as a GPro). Do you have any trouble adjusting to the differing launch angles (between Clash and Gravity)? Or did you even that out somehow?
Just curious which racquets did you use before the Gravity Pro and which racquets after...officially leaving the gravity pro club... if anyone is looking for a pair of used or a pair of new L2s for a decent price, feel free to shoot me a PM
too many to list. grew up with wilson 6.1 95 16x18s and babolat pure storm tours and aero storm tours for hte most part. in recent years, i used TF315 dc ltd 16x19, pure control tour, 2015 blade 18x20, vcore 98, and 2020 pa vs.Just curious which racquets did you use before the Gravity Pro and which racquets after...

switching to the 2019 pure aero. it's too easy to use.
slightly more handle heavy so I can see how that would help. also the same weight/sw on a slightly smaller head. that would read to me as more power/plowAfter using Gravity Pro since it initially came out i've switched to the Yonex EZone 98 Tour. I felt i was missing that power and plow through especially against opponents who hit heavier balls.
Interesting. I haven't seen mine do that, but kind of wish it would! But a simple switch would certainly be welcome.I've had it twice now where it's refused to switch on after a while in the bag.

Indeed, so far loving hyper g in 17, much better than 16. Probably will be a keeper, still want to try adrenaline in 1.25 to compare.I think you’ll like the hyper g 17g.

Playing with hyper g 18. So far so good, but admittedly I lack string experience.Indeed, so far loving hyper g in 17, much better than 16. Probably will be a keeper, still want to try adrenaline in 1.25 to compare.
I"ve had good success with Volkl Cyclone Tour, a softer polyI ust played a match with lynx, not tour version, in 17 gauge. Yellow. Played about aw well as I can play. Ultra cable 17 gauge was cool but too heavy even at 17 gauge. Damn that string was heavy. My Pros are at the very top of my sw tolerance so I can feel heavy strings for sure. Anyway, love the way lynx played. I think I strung it too high but I want to play with it tomorrow and see if my arm tolerates it. I am very sensitive in the elbow. I could tell that sonic pro was not going to bother my elbow. I just would. However, nothing special and head velocity is better for my arm and hits with as much or more spin than sonic pro. I have another one strung up with isospeed cream 17 gauge that I plan on playing with as well. I want to know if I can tolerate the softer polys in this stick because I like the way they help with spin. Lynx was great and I played about as well as I can play.
Another weird thing with mine yesterday. I'm guessing that the battery completely drained over lockdown.Interesting. I haven't seen mine do that, but kind of wish it would! But a simple switch would certainly be welcome.
Lithium Ion batteries (which this almost certainly is) don't like to be deeply discharged. Not including a way of turning the darned thing off is unfortunately going to benefit Head (assuming we buy replacements) by killing the device prematurely.Another weird thing with mine yesterday. I'm guessing that the battery completely drained over lockdown.
I had a hell of a time getting it to switch back on. I'd plug it in to the charger and it would switch on. Unplug it and it would go red straight away. Whilst charging it reported a full charge and so the light on the charger went green. Tried restarting (phone and sensor), forgetting it and re-pairing etc.
-question, what "grip size" is your gravity.pro??I"ve had good success with Volkl Cyclone Tour, a softer poly
Lot of poly strings come down in stiffness if you go down in gauge.I just recently switched to the GP. It was down to the GP and a Blade 98 18x20. The GP was just the more stable, solid and consistent of the two. The Blade is a great racquet but the Head edged it out overall. I came from a RF97, so this GP feels light. I loved my RF97 but I switched after 2 years of playing it because the RF97 was just too stiff for me over time. I got a little wrist pain but after hitting with the GP, the pain is about gone.
I strung it with Head Lynx Tour 1.25 @ 48lbs and it feels a little stiff, even at that tension. I'm sure it'll soften up after a few hits. My go-to string is Volkl Cyclone 1.25 @ 45lbs. I got the Lynx Tour because it was free with racquet purchase and I'll probably go back to the VC because it's just a great string.
The slice is insane and I feel like I can't miss. I had the same feeling with my RF97 but it was just getting too heavy over time (during a match) and the stiffness I mentioned above was getting to my wrist. The topspin is surprising for an 18x20 and serves are powerful and consistent but volleys don't feel as solid as my old RF97. That's a matter of having time with these new sticks. Overall, the Head GP does a great job of taking over for my beloved RF97.
I use a 4 1/4 and will often string with 1.15 and 1.10 gauge strings, Hyper G and VSquare.-question, what "grip size" is your gravity.pro??
-what tension are you stringing the grav.pro at??
