Thats true, I get 5-7 hours out of Hawk Touch at 1.30 (depending if its on hard or clay), never tried a thinner gauge.
Interesting, I cant seem to switch away from the head speed because I'm so used to the handle. Similar as wilson blade to me. But tecnifibre, yonex and babolat have really different handles.
I know 10 grams at 3 and 9 is alot tho, youre over 340 sw for sure. I tried that and it plays very nice but I can't play singles at 100% for an hour atm with that setup.
Not the new team, but my son hits the older speed S which is the same thing. I toy with it every so often.
Really curious about your sw's on the two
what did you think of it? thx
I play with the Speed Team, strung at 48 lbs with Velocity MLT 17 gauge. I am a senior 3.0 - 3.5 doubles and singles player. For me, it offers great feel, good precision, and good power. Better feel, connection, and comfort than other "tweeners" I've tried like various Clash, Ultra, and Ezone models. Prefer it over the Gravity and Extreme models. No pain at all with sensitive elbow, shoulder, and wrist. Good stability for it's weight, but might try adding a little weight later on, along with trying other strings/tensions. Interested to hear what others are doing with the Team.
Weird.. I would try same string
It really is so good. Very stable and awesome power and spin potential while still being comfortable. Sinner endorsement makes it cool, so I don't see why it's not more popular. What's your favourite string setup in the speed mp?
Have you ever used velocity mlt on this racket?
Tried it on a whim, broke it during the second session. Is there some aspect of it you were curious about or….?
Yes, I put it on, because I have tennis elbow. I would like to know if it is good in Speed MP? I don't have much power to break strings often.
I don't have much power to break strings often.
Good is subjective, it’s fine in my opinion as it did as advertised. It’s comfortable and lower powered in my experience for a multifilament string.
I haven't. I have a couple of sets of MLT in my bag but I am playing less than normal right now during arm recovery so strings are lasting longer and I haven't had a chance to try them in the frame. As others have said it's a lower power multifilament that is a kind of a jack of all trades multifilament compared to some of the softer and more powerful multi strings. I don't go as high tension with MLT as I would with X-One because it's not as powerful.
not necessarily on spin front. I think the Speed MP string pattern is pretty open and swings pretty fast. it packs quite the punch too. it's likely less than the Pure Aero but its not significantly less. you might see a bigger drop in power and spin potential going to the pro
new limited black edition will be the main star if you want the auxetic until 2024 when new Speed model comes out
No it’s just 269/259 whatever the regular pricing is
I haven't played with velocity full bed in Speed MP, but only as a cross in a hybrid; was ok but it's not my favourite - a touch firm; I like Gamma and Tecnifibre multis.
I use my speed mp 2022 customized to specs suggested by @Trip. Its 332gr/32.6b/328sw. It feels like a heavier more solid version of the same racket, but that way its pretty much the specs of the speed pro. If you want a lighter version but still more stable, I would try 2 grams at 12. Or maybe 3-4 grams at 3 and 9.
I'd go 3 grams total at 3-9 with a little bit in the handle to counterbalance (or leather grip). That's what I'm doing with my Radical MP now and it works well
