Yeah I’ve hit mine twice now. There’s no tip weight but tons at 3 and 9 so it’s not very whippy yet also hard to hit a heavy ball. I added 5g at 12 which helped a ton. After that mod it’s probably the closest I’ve tried to the almighty PA98 but it’s missing the sauce. Prob need to try other string setups to get the right feel. OToro not quite doing it for me this time.

Swingweight and Twistweight! Thanks!I have now got some SX 300 Tour for tuning.
What exactly do you want to know?
It was already too late for me last night.
+5 RA...woah. Thanks for the stats!
Yeah but the problem is that also increases the overall static weight. And not all people want that.

Interesting that they went with a colour scheme that's not dissimilar to "his" limited edition navy one.
To be fair to the guy he has much more presence in social media and people's awareness than a average top50-100 player. People love a good influencer

Tons of them available on Japanese Youtube clips where you can enable auto-translation in English to watch.
Can you provide some links ? It’s the only racquet i am curious to demo of the new ones.
Tried the sx300 tour. Underwhelming experience. It felt underpowered. Impact was a bit wobbly, not solid at all. Almost like it was losing the collision with the ball. Maybe I'm exaggerating but the overall response of the stringbed was weak.
The swingweight could be around 315 or even lower from the specs I am seeing.I have 3 PA98 with 317sw strung. Needless to say i added lead at 12 to bring them up to 330.
100%. I'm sure if I restring this demo with 1.25 guage poly and insert a thick dampener the sw could be pushed to 310-313, but it's still not in my range. I don't want to swing out my socks to create something with substance.
Can you compare it with some other racquet?
I usually play with the pure drive so it's hard to compare as they are completely different rackets with different purposes but I instantly felt a difference in spin and depth on the ball. The new SX has a very open string pattern so was expecting the ball to be hard to control but it looks like they've reduced the cross string spacing which actually made it feel more controlled with a pretty big sweet spot
Thats good to know because I was somewhat afraid it would be super open like PA19 for example.
Not as bad as an Extreme Pro I got.
Nah, was just thinking about this during tonight’s match. They got this guy to endorse the FX for AO, what a strange decision with a new model coming out at around the same time. lol.
Surely for the untrained eye of the general public, Dunlop can still “paint” his switched FX with the new SX PJ… if they really wanted to sell their products. lol.
For sure I can’t understand why manufacturers just don’t ship racquets immediately to reviewers. Get one to TennCom and he will review it immediately. He has complained often that its hard to get racquets close to launch. Just spend $100 or whatever the manufacturing cost is and send them to these influencers. Get people talking about them. They aren’t going to bash them too harsh, even though they aren’t huge fans.
