I've been playing with a strike for about a month now and I love it but my arm doesn't. I'm mostly fine when I'm hitting the sweetspot even with all poly, but when I'm tired I start shanking, probably due to the weight. Mine is actually really off spec, I had to add 11 grams of weight to the handle for a 33cm balance and the racquet itself was 7 grams overspec, so the strung weight with overgrip and dampener is 352g. I'm open to customization and could probably go down to 340 strung.
I've tried a tfight 300 rs that was overspec at 328 strung with a high balance point, but it was too powerful and the balance bothered my elbow even on on center hits. Tried a Clash 98 and really liked the shots, but hated the feel at contact.
I don't mind more responsive feels at contact. I've been looking at an Angell K7 Red or maybe even a Pro Staff v13 if that plays softer than the strike. Wants are 97-99 inch head, nothing denser than 16/20 on strings, and controlled launch angle. Also would ideally like to use a full bed of poly (I've done this before on 63RA with no pain, could probably go higher).
Thanks for any feedback and/or suggestions.
