My Dream Racket

[Toydy]

I was wondering if anyone could help with a recommendation.
I am after a racket with the following specs.

- head size 97/98 square inches
- 60 RA strung. Or under 138 Hz vibration.
- 31.7 cm balance with strings, rubber band dampener, and overgrip
- swing weight 330-340
- static weight 335 with strings, rubber band dampener, and overgrip
- 16x19 or 16x20 string pattern
- 19mm to 21mm frame

Is this something I'd have to get custom-made (Dahcor?) or does it exist?

Could anyone help?

Seems attainable with a Blade pro, ultra pro, or pk black ace pro with some added weight with rackets currently on the market. Pt57a 16x19 and first gen tf 315 ltd as well but harder to find

Thanks for getting back to me.
Not sure if the blades would be able to get the balance right?
Ultra pro is what I am using now 143 Hz does seem a tiny bit too much for my arm.

Pure Strike Tour.

Would probably need to add weight at the buttcap for the blade pro. 335g strung + overgrip is pretty light for the sw that you're looking for, and the RA at the beam width is rare. Black ace pro is probably the closest you'll get imo.

Angell Custom?? Do they do close to those specs?

 

[AA7]

Try Fabrizi rackets...they may be able to

I don't think they do.

Diadem Elevate FS 98 can be customized to your desired specs very closely.

Specs (unstrung):

• 98 sq inch
• 305 grams
• 16x20 string pattern
• 32 cm balance
• 64RA (ca. 61RA strung)
• 21.5 cm flat beam

Really comfortable frame and especially recommended if you love foam filled frames.

Diadem looked good, 66.5 RA 150 Hz id probably too much for me. Bloody close

Pro-Kennex KI Pro 315, 11.7 ounces strung, 98 sq inch, 20 mm straight beam and a 330 SW. The vibration frequency will be below 138.

Some inbred monstrosity borne from the fusion of:
Prince Beast 03 100 Father.
Prince Phantom 100 03 Mother.
69 or 70 RA
16x19
with a Head TK82 pallet instead of the rounded Prince handle with the bevels that you can't find.

Power. Control. Super whippy due to low swingweight, yet still has ploughthrough.
The high RA dampened by the O-ports, making it arm friendly. Huge sweetspot. Basically no off centre hits.

In 27.5" length.

absolute weapon in nearly every category. Brutal 1st serve. Huge spin 2nd serve. ROS weapon. Ground strokes for days. Volleys are great.
Call it the "Prince Mjolnir" it would sell by the container load.

edit: @ Prince, do a deal with Solinco to factory string it with Solinco Tour Bite 16g. Jesus wept, what a weapon. There is nothing that would come close.

Don't you confuse the standard Elevate (64RA) with the Tour version (67RA)? Besides they are fully foam filled that absorb vibrations very well and give them a great solid feel.

Plus those are both unstrung RAs, right? I’ve hit both FS Tour and Regular FS, full bed Solstice at 50lbs, seemed pretty comfy.

Yes unstrung.

A tail-weighted Prince Synergy 98 might fit your specs. It has a 18x18 string pattern which has a similar launch angle as a 16x20 racket. It's 25-23-21 beam though. Don't dismiss it without demoing it.
Good luck and cheers,
Abhijit

Yonex VCore Pro 97 310, add a few grams of weight to 12 or 10and2.
Or the VCore Pro HD is you are willing to go 18x20 and slightly heavier static weight.

Those specs are pretty close to my customized 2015 Wilson Blade after a few years of use.
It's got about 345 swingweight (with lead tape) with a low 60s stiffness (measured). The stiffness starts out a bit higher when new but gradually went down over time from use.

Can you demo the Blade V7? Could save you a lot of money.

16x20 is the GOAT pattern
