Hello everyone. Say they finally launch it. What would be your ideal beam profile? Flex? Sw? And so on..
How long for the Speed 98 18x19

No offence. There is a song - "Dream on" from Aerosmith gonna serve you really well in this case.

I was in the same boat. Speed pro user that would have loved a 98, 18x19. I hate to break it to you but it’s not going to happen.
But you can find something on the market currently that gets close. Go demo the blade pro 18x20. The speed pro used to be 22mm and that’s what the blade pro has and with a constant beam. Go a grip down on the BP and do double overgrips and you have a banger of a racquet that approximates what a speed pro 98 would have been.

Gravity 98 will be releasing next year though, seems interesting. I really like the paint too, similar colorway but shiny

Yeah, that Gravity 98 gives me hope. Maybe that one first then the other. Sales

It looks like a great stick. However the Speed silo is missing the 98. The pattern to resemble Novak's. It be the Pro middle ground of all silos.

Hey there Chip. Modded Touch Speed Adaptive user here.
Let's tick Head and hope they do. Maybe if many insist, we can convince them to launch it.

What strings set up and tension played best for you in the frame ?

Seem like a very underrated stick just because it was Prince …

Indeed sounds like a nice frame. And that Prestige throat. Wish it was 98 and 21mm. Speed silo is still missing the 98. Think people would love it

Some green poly, but I don't recall which. Tension felt high-40s which I prefer. It was a demo through TW around 2022. It played really well, and made me wonder why 18x18 isn't done more often. Really spin friendly without compromising flat shots. Only deal breaker (similar to the 2024 pure strike 98) was the high swing weight just out of my range. Was hoping it would replace my Beast 98s, but still looking to this day!

How would you decribe the feel?

it reminds me of what I see Novak doing on tv , putting the racquet there and ball rebounding back .
Novaks frame also can play flat and then incredible angles and spin , frame does same as it balls sinks into strings with the right string set up
For me it’s the nearest thing to Novak’s frame on the market
