Pacific X Feel Tour? Power level vs APDC?

[keithfival]

I've been searching high and low for something with the advantages of the APDC with more of the feel of a Microgel Radical. I got to demo the Pacific X Feel Tour for a few minutes yesterday (it has been raining ever since) but for those few minutes it felt like exactly what I was after- solid, plush but crisp, comfortable, uber precise with the feel to swing through the ball (not having to exaggerate topsin to control the ball like the APDC), but with the easy spin, and other 100/16x19 attributes of the APDC.

Anyone have more experience with this frame? Am I dreaming???

Specifically, how does the potential power level compare to APDC?

I haven't hit with the Pacific, but according to this, the Pacific has more power in the sweetzone, but less as you move out. This may seem to suggest that the APDGT is more stable on off center hits.

If you click on the "show me power zone" button you'll see another graph and you'll notice at the bottom the tested racquet's specs. Both have goot twist weights, but the ADPGT does have a good bit higher twist weight. This would also suggest it is more stable on off center hits.

I just recently demoed the Pacific and loved it. Tons of spin, nice feel on volleys, etc.

I can't do a comprehensive comparison to the APDC (haven't hit with that frame much) but I will say the Pacific feels more "solid" than the APD series.
