Now you tempt me to buy this old stick hahaha. Since it plays crisp is it arm friendly at all ? I recently sold all my racquets except C10 pro, IG Prestige mp, customized six one team.

Not sure if I ever followed up on this so here goes (hopefully not a repeat):
-My main stick is the 4stripe POG Mid
These Exo3 Mid are similar and play similar but definitely not identical. personally for me it's easy to go from one to another with only no much more than couple of shots time to adjust....
Their weight and swing feel very similar, hence my ease in playing one or another. but the contact is different due to the different beam construction (oh and I also using the smaller "regular" ? grommets with holes not the O-ports) and different stringbed pattern.
The Exo3 impact feels crisper and the beam feels thinner then the POG Mid, whereas the POG mid however seems to have slightly more plow.
The sweetspot feels slightly smaller on the Exo vs the POG Mid
and basically that's it - I could easily and confidently carry one piece of each into a tournament match - though I'd rather not...

Very solid frame, I have one but do not play with it now, is somebody is looking for one you could drop a line.

Wow!! 10 !?!? it is a steal !!
The setup really depends on your preferences.... I usually do low tensions (because one can really accelerate the racket head given size and thin beamed) with a thin string like 1.18 and changed the grommets to the non-ported ones....
The non-ported made the response more similar to the POG Mid, though given the different string pattern it will never be the same...
Swings beautifully ... for an all-court player!
Yup, and I guess the previous owner must have bought it in that Sports Direct blow-out sale and hardly ever used it. The plastic cover is still on the leather grip.Wow!! 10 !?!? it is a steal !!

It doesn't come with the string grommet, so I just have to go with the exo3 port bareback. Not sure if those grommet kit can even be found now.
Ok thin gauge poly it is. Guessing the ports would mute the feel, so perhaps a crisp poly is best?
I have the 100 sitting in a bin in my garage. I had overture to sell it here but then as often happens with people on line, they disappear. The biggest issue to me is the balance. It feels very heavy to swing, yet doesn't produce results that would warrant wielding something this heavy. the only thing you can do to effect the balance is tail weight, and then it seems to have even less power.

nope! not at all... perhaps even the opposite, slightly...

I have 2 of those too, they were a complete #fail for me, exactly because of the balance....
The PCG on the other hand... what a revelation that one was...
