HEAD LM Radical MP vs DUNLOP M-Fil 300

[mig29]

I currently own a LM Radical MP but the dense pattern doesn't allow me to get as much spin as I would like. Does the M-Fil 300 be a great replacement. They seem to have similar specs as headsize, lenght, weight, control oriented conception,... And I have a great deal for the M-Fil 300.

What do you think?

I have switched 3 months ago from the LM Instinct to the M-FIL 300, i must say that the Dunlop is a much better racket in all aspects, but especially in:
serve, ground strokes and volley.
overall, it has for me the perfect balance between power and control and not less important, it is much less harsh on the hand respect the HEAD.
Has to be said that i find it so, only after long work of customizing it, as for today i have added overall 5 grams of lead at 2-4/8-10 o'clock (4 strips of 5 inches, 1/4 inch wide), and 6 grams under the trap door, as for stringing set-up i play with MSV "Focus" 1.18, tension 27kgs at the mains and Topspin "Synthetic Gut Durability" 1.30, tension 27kgs at the crosses.
Great racket for amazing price.

Is the shape very different? Is the M-Fil 300 more oval than the Rad?

Slightly more oval.

300 is like an egg lol, its a baseliner raqcuet. Personally i hate it at the net.

the 300 is a great racket from the baseline, especially after you lead it up. but at the net i really don't find the 300 that great, especially when compared to the lm rad. the denser pattern, thinner beam, etc. definitely make it the better racket at the net. after owning both imo if you're just a baseliner the 300 is a great racket. but if you come to the net a decent amount during a match, i think the advantages at the net the lm rad has over the 300 far outweighs its disadvantages from the baseline.

Last year I bought a LM Radical MP (18x20 pattern) along with Fibergel Power 17 string. I strung it ay 58 at first and I even went as far as 68 pounds. Always the same problem: too much power and not enough spin. So this week, I made a big chance: I just ordered the DUNLOP M-Fil 300 (16x19 pattern) and Topspin Cyber Flash 1.25.

I hope it will help me improve my game a bit...
