What's that Toalson Forty Love feel like? Always wanted to try it!

In hand it looks and feels like a Dunlop CX200 (I’ve never even seen a cx400 in person but it has that elongated/isometric head shape and reminds me of it & the Head Boom)

It’s extremely plush but the sweet spot is almost too big...where you can get lost and in the stringbed. if you check out the spacing of the bottom cross it has the most room of all my frames (creates a huge trampoline effect) which made second serves have a bit too much spring. But asisde from that it’s a quality racquet

It's highly possible I pick a 2022 Speed MP and a Blade V8 100 early Spring.

On the other hand, the Pure Strike VS with MSV Focus Hex and Luxilon Vibe is the only racket so far to give me some back shoulder soreness. Best paintjob by miles though!

Some nice string jobs on a couple of those….

It’s funny, I didn’t even think about the color match of the wasabi hybrid with the Blade v6 when I dropped them off and it turns out it’s a perfect pairing. Same with the Toro and VS, too bad the string isn’t great. Maybe Poly Tour Fire in that stick next time?

Is that a Pro One in the back?

Yessir. I think it's a TW reissue. I got two together last summer, along with a full reel of Topspin Cyber Flash. I couple of odd things about the two I got... they're a little more pink than orange. Perhaps they got faded? There is a small section above the handle that seems more orange, like the OG Pro One Limited Edition I have. The butt caps don't have the Donnay D logo that I've seen on the TW version, either. Also, they say that the grip size is 4 1/2, but they feel more like 4 1/4, mayyybe a small 4 3/8. Conversely, my Pro One International TW that came out at the same time has a 4 3/8, and it is noticeably bigger.

IIRC the TW reissue was more pinkish-salmon than orange. I don’t think they got the color quite right, but that thing is BUTTER.

My Extreme Tours.

My Pure Aero VS and Pure Aero 98

And a Pure Strike Japan dition, Pure Aero 2017 French Open edition and a Pure Aero 2010.

No reason I bought the Japan and French Open editions other than they were on markdown at the time.

I didn't start playing until June 2022.

But I bought that Pure Aero French Open back in 2017 because I knew I wanted to get back into tennis at some point.

Then somebody gave me that 2010 Pure Aero like brand new for free because they bought and had an injury right after.

They just sat there until 2022 when I found a club I could go play at every week.

Then I started picking up these other rackets.

Current racket state, since I was stupid enough to sell my Angell TC95 V3 16*19 and the Pro Kennex Ki5 295.

Babolat Pure Control isn't mine, but I'll carefully play it a few times.

The Youtek Speed, yes, is 27.2 but still one can see the issue I've noticed about the Nova since I switched to the 2-handed backhand, the short grip length.

I'm in a point now where 3 rackets are more than enough for me to use.

I'm getting one or two rackets from friend to play with anyway, Blade V7 18*20 and Yonex DR98 next.

From early-Summer on or a bit earlier I'll decide whether I'm gonna start collecting tennis rackets this year or from next year on.

Beautiful !! How many grams did you had on the extreme tour ? At 2 & 10 ?
Click to expand...
4g in all at 10 and 2. It is 325g strung with Lynx Tour at 19kg. I have removed half of the grip to make it more head heavy and still light for doubles.

TF40 in black feels so odd.

Why didn’t they call the “Trendy” second gen TF41 or even TF42...this is the TF44, so where is TF43?

It stands for T fight 40th year anniversary, right? So why isn’t the one that’s out now reflecting the year? (2 years since the first release(TF42) or marking the next in line (TF41)

First time owning it. Had never really wanted the RF97, but in decent shape at a good price... couldn't pass it up.
