This is such a great point. I feel like the first thing you should do when trying a new racquet is to hit with someone who lands a heavy ball on or around the baseline! I love frames that hit a great ball when you have time to point and shoot, but a great test of a new frame is how reliable and comfortable you are when trying to be aggressive on R.O.S. or half-volleying heavy balls skipping off the baseline. I know exactly what you are taking about in regard to sweetspot. Some forgiveness there is welcome.
I would love to play with a prestige mid, but a man has to know his limitations...... For me a yonex V-core pro 97 with a loose tension to open up the sweetspot and some lead to steady the hoop is more my speed
Of the racquets you have acquired recently, is the beast 98 with regular grommets your full-time setup now?
