New GAMMA racquets are coming, does anyone know?

[Ten_nuts]

I just found in my mail box an ATSsports catalog, and catching my eyes are the 2 new Tournament racquets from Gamma: the Tour 300x and the Tour 340x. I cannot post the pictures here but the paint job seems more bright, less boring then the previous Tour 320x and Tour 330x. Here are specs:

Tour 300X: headsize 98, 27 in, width 22.5mm, weight 300g or 10.6 oz strung, balance 13.6 inches or 345mm strung, stiffness: medium.

Tour 340X: headsize 93, 27 in, width 22 mm, weight 340g or 12 oz strung, balance 12.4 inches or 315mm strung, stiffness: medium.

It would be nice if someone can add the pictures from their website.

I'm totally ready to hop on board with Gamma racquets. They keep their prices cheaper than Prince/Wilson/Head/Babolat, and they don't try to hoodwink us with bogus meaningless technologies. Their strings are still overpriced and their weird "sell our stuff and we'll give you free crap" deals with tennis merchants still turn me off though...

Whoa ... 22 mm. beam. That spec's gonna launch some rockets inspite of the 93 headsize!

Are extra grommets available for these models?

One thing that bothered me about playing with the Gamma T-7 is that you cannot get extra grommets for the T-7. I even contacted Gamma and they said that there aren't any available.

I find it very strange that you can't get grommets for what is (at least 'was' when I questioned) a current racquet. Not the main reason I stopped playing with the T-7 but one of them.

So Monday I start my next adventure with a Babolat Pure Drive Cortex.

Gamma's selection of grommets is odd. They don't have them for the T-7 (or G310) but do for the G325 and other older frames.

Not necessarily. The Wilson H22 has a 22 inch beam and isn't a rocket launcher.

It's 19 mm shaft actually. There's some kind of error on the Gamma site.
