thanks, can please measure the inside width of the hoop at 3/9 and 12/6 position? I believe that the 95 dunlop is enough round (I measure 23.9cm/9.40in and 32.5cm/12.79in), the 98 prestige mp and the 98 dunlops are narrow and only longer.
where can I see frontal photo of the 95in shape vantages?
I have a bunch of frames n the measurements really don't make a huge difference, What's more important is the size n shape of the sweet spot n the power level at different layers.
Equally important is the stability n plow through measurements.
Unfortunately, it isn't possible to find a consistent shape of these elements as each vantage with different specs will play differently.
What I can tell you is that compared the same head size frames like the N95, Head MGMP n Head MGPro the 63RA vantage will play similar.
My experience with the Vantage 95 in similar specs 320g to the MGMP, the Vantage feels softer n muted because of the foam inside the frame. Personally control is similar or better cus of the feel n power level is somewhat similar too. The primary difference is the MGMP's sweet spot is lower n more centered around the 3 & 9 o'clock.
The Vantage sweet spot is slightly higher at about an inch. Furthermore, the sweet spot stretches all the way to around 4 rolls from the top.
Vs the Pro, the Vantage is more consistent, controllable, n more comfortable. I found the sweet spot of the Pro to be rather small n not to my liking, I was very inconsistent with the Pro.
I totally agree with the TW review bout the Head MG Prestige frames in that there is a wow but no plow factor. I don't have the same issue with the Vantage in 320 n my modified 325g frame. I found plenty of plow through.
Vs the N95 in the 330g model, the plow through is the same but in lighter n more head light versions the plow through is less. I much preferred the 18x20 version of the N95 as it was more consistent for me n I found the same consistency even with the more open patten of 16x19 of a similar spec. The N95 is one of the better 95 frames out there n the only thing that it lacks compared to the Vantage would be feel & comfort.
The shape n size of the sweet spot of the N95 is very nice as you can hit quite high up on the loop and there is very good stability at the sides due to the PWS. The sweet spot of the N95 is rounder and wider, the Vantage is longer n slightly higher.
Can't really say more except I found the Vantage string bed with a 16x19 patten to give a very consistent n I did not find the dead zone that some others have mentioned about the upper loop.

. It's almost identical to the aerogel, but it's slightly wider at 3 and 9 and less oblong when compared to the Volkl).
