MoJo or others, opinions of Cat 4 Gen II

[Proud Pusher]

Recently switched from the QV1 mp to the DNX V1 o.s. Picked up a
Cat 4 Gen II, and haven't been able to put it down. I seem to have
better control and shot placement with it.

However, I feel more of an "impact" when hitting compared to DNX V1 and
have developed a slight case of tennis elbow, not bad, just enough that
you know its there. I have the Cat 4, Gen II strung w/ Natural gut at
around 55 lbs.

Don't know if this elbow pain is a result of the racquet or if it would
have happened anyway? Any thoughts from Volkl users that have
experience with these frames?

Thanks, Ken

Hey Ken,
It's really hard to say, but sometimes people develop a pain when they change gear. Your muscles and tendons get used to swinging a certain racquet a certain way, then when you use something new, they do things diferently and that can cause some stress. Ive hit the Cat4 Gen1 but not the Gen2. the gen1 was lighter I think but it wasnt a harsh hit for its lightweight and stiffness
As a sggestion, you may want to try a bit of lead and try and get the weight and balance close to what you ave with the V1 and take things from there
