Modern 95" rackets: thoughts and Ideas

C

ChaseS.

Rookie
I just wanted to start a fun thread discussing modern 95" rackets. I would categorize "modern" as retail versions being offered at the moment. I have been gathering and using almost all of them in the last couple years and want to share some of my thoughts and findings. Tall, long arms, 1hbh, all court player.

My 95s are: 2021 Vcore 95, 2024 Prince ATS Tour 95, Angell V5 TC95, and 2023 Head Prestige Tour. I have not used the Dunlops for the 16m looked too light and my performance is not as good with 18m. More than happy to hear about them and learn about those frames I just haven't experienced them first hand.

My current specs across all frames is 320g Unstrung, 8-9pts HL strung with og and damp. All frames are 343-346g built out. All frames have 1.25 poly in them, Hawk Touch is my go to.

I want to start with density of pattern because this quickly sets the story of how these frames play. I measured top cross (TC) to bottom cross (BC) and left outside main (LM) to right outside main (RM) on all frames.

Prestige Tour: TC to BC = 9", LM to RM = 7.25"
Vcore 95: TC to BC =9.5", LM to RM = 7"
Angell TC95: TC to BC = 10", LM to RM = 7.625"
Prince ATS95. TC to BC = 10", LM to RM = 7.625"

Control and precision would be ordered Prestige Tour, Vcore95, Angell Tc95, then Prince.

I would also say launch angle would follow that same order with Prestige lowest and Prince highest.

Spin would inverse that order with the Prince wayyyyyy out front of the rest. Prestige at the bottom of spin list but still is very spin friendly and produces heavy ball. The Prince is far and beyond the spinniest racket I've owned and it has a wildness to it that is fun.

Sweet spot size would go to Prince and Angell both having massive sweet spots for 95" frames. Makes perfect sense with the more spread out drill patterns.

Feel is hands down won by the Angell. Solid and crisp. What a frame. The Prestige is right behind it in a close 2nd place followed by Vcore and then Prince. The Prince is very soft and arm friendly with immense ball pocketing. The Prince and Yonex can handle the stiffest strings with comfort while the Angell and Prestige cannot.

Power would be ordered Vcore, Angell, Prestige, then Prince

Quality control would have the Angell and Prestige tied for first. Both were perfectly on spec. The Vcore and the Prince both were a little off spec when I purchased.

My Summary of frames

Prestige Tour 95: Precision, repeatable, controlled, dependable, classy, crisp, stable, lower launch, best slice, tighter pattern for 16m,

Angell Tc95: Plush, solid, stable, pro stock feel, higher launch, exciting, string sensitive, poor grommets, open pattern for 16m

Vcore 95: softer, muted, comfortable, ball pocketing, stable with weight, 2nd best slice, lower launch, infinite string options

Prince ATS 95: flexible, ball pocketing, raw feel comfortable, SPINNY, chaotic, intriguing, higher launch, infinite string options

I may edit as things pop into my head but that's a good start. Love to know what you all think of these frames and happy to field any questions. They are all wonderful frames and super fun to use despite being so different. Long live the 95"!!
 
Of the current offerings, which frame do you think has the biggest sweet spot? My experience with 95" rackets includes just the 2014 Graphene Prestige Pro, which to me was extremely forgiving -- it feels like the entire face of the stringbed is a sweet spot. Conversely, the VCore 95 felt a little more like the Strike VS in that you have to hit dead-center or slightly above center to get a clean hit; otherwise shanks galore.

I think people are afraid of 95" heads because they want a larger target on the racket face, but I've used 98" sticks that I thought felt smaller (re: sweet spot) than the 95" GPP.
 
@TwinCinema Stacking these 95s on top of my Vcore pro97s and even my RF97A there is such a small difference in actual head size. So in my mind that then boils down to which head has the more open drill pattern and spacing to create the forgiveness and sweet spot. The Prince ATS Tour 95 has the largest head size and most open drill pattern so I think it's sweet spot is the largest. Close 2nd would be the Angell Tc95
 
@ChaseS - Nice summary. My primary question: if you had to pick a single 95" from your list to take into a match tomorrow, against an opponent every bit as good as you, if not a little bit better (ie. so you had to defend a good amount, no choice), which would it be, and why?

What a great question. That's the question I've been trying to answer by buying and testing all these frames. As of right this second it would be the Prestige Tour or the Prince. I know that's strange because they play so differently but I really enjoy both frames. The Prince has a chaos factor to it with the spin that can induce a lot of errors from opponent. Also is great on the serve! The Prestige just has that absolute precision to move the ball around and the excellent offensive and defensive slice. If I had to choose just one.......probably Prestige!

Prince and angell have same strings spacing as my aero98, without 20th cross

I believe it. The Prince looks and feels more like a 98 to me in hand. Prestige Tour and Angell have that classic oval shape and are pretty much clones but the Angells pattern is wayyyy more open

I feel like we should also talk about the Volkl power bridge 93 in this discussion but that's just me. Very curious about that racquet

Let's talk about it! Hopefully someone chimes in with some Intel. The specs look great and they are pretty close to my specs that I like. My concern would be that thin of a beam for the modern game but I do bet it feels incredible

Well, well, well. Isn't that interesting. Happens to be my favorite 95 so far as well. For me, the G360+ Prestige Pro (renamed the Tour as of Auxetic 1.0), for its high-enough RA, and unrivaled feel among all Graphene-era Prestiges (IMHO). For a flatter-hitting 1HBH all-out-attacker's frame, I'm not sure there's much better. Especially the 1HBH down the line – my god, it's like a missile on rails. Incredible confidence on that shot like no other.

What's the RA

RA of the G360+ Pro is right around 65-ish. Perfect middle ground between having enough dwell for extra manipulation of the ball as it sits on the racquet, but also not too soft that you bleed away too much impact energy. Kind of like the '22 EZ98 in that sense.
 
cx200 tour 18x20 (with lead) is the current best 95 on the market since they stopped making the old prestige mp. vcore 95 was a shank machine for me and although i love my 95 g360+ prestige pro, i think the dunlop is even better (with lead added of course). I haven’t tried the wilson six.one 95 though but I’d really love to.

@AndrewUtz - It appears that the CX200T has a bit more modern-shaped hoop as well – ie. a bit more rounded/isometric up towards 10 & 2, for a bit wider swiping window there and fewer shanks? Thats my one grip with the 95" Prestige – it's more of a classic pure oval shape, really best meant for centering the ball on the string bed; hitting a little further up, with swipe, as we tend to do now, gives very little room for error. And lastly, have you hit the current 2024 CX200T 16x19?
 
yes, the dunlop is more rounded at the tip area such that it performs more like a traditional 97" frame. The 18x20 version string bed is a bit more open at the top to emulate the 16x19 pattern and the variable density design just works. Tighter to tame the trampolining effect when balls are struck right in the center so balls are less apt to fly out and more open towards the tip for added spin and a bit more power and forgiveness to get balls over the net with some control and pace. Win/win. Some people poo poo this but imho the design works as it should.

Thanks AT. IMHO, "PowerGrid" works as well as it can in the CX 200 Tours, only marginally in the 98" CX 200, and not all that great in the larger CX's, any SX or any FX. The cells get much too open towards 12 and 6 and you lose too much locational command, even with the free pop that you gain. There's a reason why neither Bab, nor Head, nor Tec, nor Wilson, nor Yonex drill their patterns with constantly-wide mains and progressively dense crosses, and it's probably because they've identified that such patterns create more problems than they solve. Dunlop seems like they're starting to get this, though, as they reproportioned the crosses in the 2024 CX's, creating more even cell sizing over more of the bed; the only problem is they didn't densify the mains, so you're left with better uniformity, yes, but less central precision (vertically). That said, in the 95" Tours, I'd imagine it actually might be a best-of-all-worlds scenario, as the head size is small enough to where having the mains retain the same spacing might actually be more optimal – whether that was intentional or accidental, who knows. For everything larger, though, I'd like to see Dunlop fully revert to progressive mains spacing, ala B, H, T, W and Y. Overall, I think it's better to have more acuity centered vertically up and down the bed.

On the flip side, you have guys like Popyrin and Kecmanovic rocking the FX 500 Tour with that wonky pattern, and while they seem to have their control issues in ways that seem to relate to what I highlighted above, when they're on and nailing their spacing, then yes, the cross-facial consistency of the "PowerGrid" can be a plus.

So ultimately, it certainly does come down to individual mechanics being more or less compatible with the pattern than anything else. I just visualize more players as being more compatible with the conventional progressive mains / constant crosses type of pattern. Who knows, though. Maybe Dunlop was onto something, and they just need more iterations to flush it out.

Would love to add to this thread.....if anyone has used or uses one of the modern 95s I would love to know what your favorite string and tensions are for them.

In the Prince I love Hawk Touch, Lynx Tour, and Confidential all 1.25 gauge and 48-51#. All three play great.

Prestige I haven't ventured much away from Hawk Touch at 49#. Very much control oriented setup. Would love some more string ideas for this frame.

Angell feels incredible with Solinco Outlast at 47#. Best feeling frame/string combo I've owned. Looks cool too with inner hoop paint

Yonex feels great with Kbaum Evolution at 52#. I've also used PT Strike at 52# and enjoyed it.

in my dunlop i use 4g soft @ 54
 
I currently own 2x of Prince ATS, Dunlop CX 200 Tour 16x19, Yonex Vcore 95 2021.

And I agree 100% regarding the OP's assesment of both the VCore and ATS, especially the bold part
My Summary of frames
Prince ATS 95: flexible, ball pocketing, raw feel comfortable, SPINNY, chaotic, intriguing, higher launch, infinite string options
Click to expand...

As such, I only like the ATS when playing indoors or at night on cool/cold fall nights. Its an utter disaster playing in the middle of summer.
I will add that I think the CX 200 Tour 16x19 verison lines up pretty closely with the Prestige based on what I've read both in this thread and elsewhere. Its a great control oriented racquet that crisp without being brassy, low launch angle but decent power, acceptably stable without lead but adding about 1-2 grams at both 3 and 9 really tunes it up a bit. Like most control rackets, its relatively thin straight beam needs a more flat than vertical swing but it definitely rewards players who can use it well.

In regards to the Vcore, I feel that it has a larger sweet spot than the CX200 while being MUCH more controlled and precise than the ATS. It does lack some plowthrough which shows up if you tend to swing flat. If you tend to whip your forehand, then its not so noticable. I still ended up adding some lead at 3 and 9, mostly because after spending the 90s with Wilson's PWS, I don't feel comfortable without a high twistweight.

I think the Prince plays incredible on clay with the extra spin and launch. That launch makes the slice not as predictable which is really one of my biggest gripes with it. Feel like I have to chop a bit more. Hard court is pretty easy decision to pull out the Prestige or Angell. What strings do you like in the Prince, Yonex, and Dunlop?

I'm going to have to try out the Dunlop. It's receiving a lot of love in here.

@Lazuras_Long - What's your pick of the litter, and why. And what year CX200T do you have? Is it the current 2024 by chance? Thanks in advance.

I think it’s the 2022? They were being clearanced for like 100 USD late 2023/2024

In terms of pick of the litter, I think if I was in better shape and more disciplined during matches from start to finish, the Cx200T is probably my favorite.

But I think that with Vcore, I play a more consistent game from start to finish.

the Vcore isn’t “point and shoot” like a true control 95 but between the relatively dense string bed and the relatively low RA, I can still play aggressive just with less fatigue.

For the prince, I’ve only ever really enjoyed it with isospeeds cheap ploy 15l string in cool outdoor temps or paired with a 15 gauge gamma wear guard syngut indoors. both strung at like 23 kilos.

***Edit*** also at the end of matches, prince ATS does seem like it handles slower balls like penn tour and penn championships a little better because the higher launch angle makes up for the loss of bounce making the Lower shots not so hard on my knees

****

I’ve enjoyed pretty much every 17g poly mains with multi/syngut hybrid in the Dunlop.

I play like 15/20 hours a week in the summer evenings so I restring both rackets basically every week and as such I adjust my tension based on the forecast.

Hotter and drier temps lead to higher tensions or maybe full poly at lower tensions, cooler and humid goes with lower tensions or maybe smaller gauges

Yonex, I can handle full poly at low tensions a bit easier because the relatively dense pattern but I definitely like a hybrid in it too.

for both Yonex and Dunlop, I’ve used Alu rough and hyper g at 17 gauge

I'm having a light chuckle at the 6.1 95 mentioned as a "modern" racquet - the 6.1 mold came out in 1992 and the V14, while lighter than the Classic, is still 333g unstrung. It is a lovely hit, just know what you're getting into with one of these.
 
suggest taking a look at the wilson ultra-tour v4...its nominally a 97, but here it is over a dunlop CX200T -- for all practical purposes they are the same size.

@Lazuras_Long any chance when you get a minute that you could get a tape and measure the drill pattern on your Dunlop 16x19?? In inches, measure top cross to bottom cross and last main on left to last main on right. Thanks!

From the photos, the pattern looks tighter like the Prestige Tour

The specs on this Ultra are pretty nice and they align very closely to the specs on 16x19 Dunlop 95! Love the thin beam, low RA, and the paint job.

For my game, it looks like i would add some weight to bring the SW up for that thin beam and low RA.

Top to bottom 9" with 1.625" gap from top of hoop to first cross and 2.125" gap form last cross to bottom of hoop.
Left to right 7.375" with 1.125" gap on both sides of the hoop.

I am not sure. I just bought one of the current ones and it plays nice. I haven't changed to it as I play with the Blade Pro and love those and if I was going to something a touch lighter the RF Pro i like as well. Fun racquet to have in the bag though.

Thank you for doing that. Thats very similar to the Prestige Tour stringbed.

Looks like we can order the drill pattern from more closed to more open like this:

Angell Tc95 18x20
Dunlop Cx200 18x20
Prestige Tour 16x19
Dunlop Cx200 16x19
Vcore 95 16x20
Angell TC95 16x19

I think that the Prestige's hoop shape really impacts how the sweet spot feels smaller and how the string bed feels more dense responds to ball striking.


As a Corollary Its why I think the Vcore 95 with its unique hoop feels right to people who "whip" their forehands a bit more than those who don't.

Perfectly said. The large-ish space between top of hoop and top cross on the Prestige also moves the sweet spot a fraction lower in the hoop in my opinion. That doesn't bother me as much since i have really long arms and strike the ball more middle but someone who strikes it higher in the hoop I see how could struggle with this frame

I found there to be something odd in the flex of the Vcore. Can't quite put my finger on it but I never liked the impact feel and flex on ground strokes as much as other frames

It would definitely occupy one of the top 3 spots of density being an 18x20. I don't have much experience with this frame so cannot comment on playability. Just for fun I just measured my PS6.0 85 and it measured 9.5" top to bottom and 7.5" side to side placing it somewhere in middle of the pack despite having a lot smaller headsize!

There's also the 16x18 sixone 95, might be more comparable to those 16x19 frames.
Very wide spacing on the crosses, very explosive string bed. I can measure it later.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the positives and negatives of the CX200 and the Prestige. How is the 18x20 in regards to spin and serving?

cx200 just lets me put the ball exactly where i want it to go. prestige 95 has more pop. the g360+ MP (98 18x20) has been what i’ve been using for the last month or so and i’ve found the performance to be similar to the dunlop but with better feel.

I can understand that. My favorite 18x20 that I've used is the Vcore pro 97D. I really enjoy that racket and the accuracy it provides but I couldn't get as much shape/spin on ground strokes and the serve wasn't as effective. Majority of my play is green clay! Unbelievable slice though on that frame. I bet the Cx200 and MP produces a majestic slice
