Here is my brief reviews for the 3 Speed PRO, MP 18x20 & MP 16x19
SPEED PRO.. I play with straight up leather grip, Sonic pro string came with the racquet.. The first thing I would say WOOW.. I crushed the ball so hard with this one. My wife love hard hitting balls so I went for everything with this racquet.. I think I missed 2 or 3 forehand for half an hour baseline hitting with this SPEED PRO.. Great spin, good depth, good balance and feel. The Sonic Pro string is probably the one pull down the grade. It's an OK string but It does not have alot of power and spin like Luxilon or hybrid of it..
Speed PRO is great at the net, thin beam cut thru the air smoothly with nice stable weight.. I can pack some punching volleys hard & fast at the net but again the ball does not come as heavy as my KPS88 hybrid setup even though the sound it seems louder & harder punch..
Slice.. great slice.. thin knive cut the ball slow and smooth on both wings.. very very nice.
Backhand.. I have 1hbh and this racket seems suite more for 2handers. My back hand shot is ok but not as penetrate, power and spin as the forehand side.. It also feels alittle harder to move around compare to the KPS88.
Serve. nasty kicking serve and slice.. but for big fat hard serve KPS88 still a better one..
Overall.. SPEED PRO surprised me beyond my expectation. It has 98square inch headsize but it moves around like a 93square inch.. quick fast, stable good feel but not as good as the KPS88. I will give this racquet a 9/10 where as the KPS a 9.9/10.. GREAT player racquet..
SPEED PRO MP 18x20
I play test this one for 20 mins and then interchange back and forth with other speed pro.. It's good racquet but somehow I felt the string bed stiff and no feel.. This is 18x20 pattern so I would do a hybrid on it with lower tension to get some feel. This is stable racquet but not stable as the Speed PRO.. I use to play with heavy racquet so this one needs some lead to make it a good racquet.. Forehand still a big weapon with lots of control & spin... My 1hbh is not good for this one at all some how.. not enough power or control.. 2Hander is probably benefit more from this racquet than other.
Volley. Good racquet for volleys.. This racquet need a leather grip to make it Head light abit then the racquet would be a much better racquet..
.. Overall.. I give this racquet a 8/10.. This is a good customize racquet .. I would add some lead @3,9 and above the grip. It will be an excellent player racquet.
SPEED PRO MP 16x19. This is the least favorite out of 3. I can't find my range with this racket.. The ball flies everywhere with no control. The racquet seems shaky alittle bit more in ground strokes and in volleys.. This racquet needs some lead around 3,9, and handle to make it better.. Overall I gave it a 6.5/10.. not a good racquet IMO.
After 2hrs of hitting the crap out of the ball, SPEED PRO came out on top.. and the test string pop almost at the end. My wife played extremely well today to my surprise b/c I crushed the ball hard for everyshot.. She said the ball does not come as heavy and spin as with KPS88 hybrid so it gave her sometime to look at it and rip it back.
I probably keep 1 or 2 SPEED PRO for collection and put the rests for other guys who want it.. I might get 1 SPEED PRO with my right gripsize 4 1/4, Fairway leather grip, hybrid stringing and try it again to see the real comparison with the KPS88.. HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND>>!
