Hi there,
First - thanks for running a great business - nice forum and even better customer service. I have been playing with the C10 pro for over a year (before that I spent a few years with the Six.One 95). Anyways, my typical setup is with a 1.25 poly at 50 lbs (Solinco Revolution being my favorite) or with a poly/synthetic hybrid (52/48). Over the course of multiple matches in a short period (e.g. tournaments), my arm hurts a ton. While the Volkl C10 pro is definitely an arm-friendly stick, I think the static weight (12.6 lbs) is causing fatigue which in turn makes me "arm" the ball more to maintain the same pop/spin. FYI, I had even more pain with the Six.One. I have tried the Project One Pure Strike, Pure Aero VS Tour, Volkl V-Sense 8 etc but find those "modern" sticks underwhelming for the hype. I guess I just love the feel of the classic player sticks. A couple of questions.
1. Is it safe to say that the new Head Graphene XT Prestige Pro offers a similar playability/feel to the C10 Pro but in a lighter package to ultimate help with arm fatigue?
2. Will going to a 1.20 poly in the low 40s in an all poly (or hybrid) combination be a better fit?
Not sure what to do to continue playing at the highest level I can. Multi breaks in no time, natural gut is too expensive and synthetic gut just doesn't feel good in a full bed.
Really appreciate you reading my long post. Thanks.
