Here’s why many racquet reviews I read on TW make little sense to me: people discuss at length racquet’s performance – how it volleys, how it serves etc., and give too little detail on how it actually feels. The thing is, most playtesters can adapt their technique to almost any racquet, some of them can adapt (customize) any racquet to their technique, but no one can change fundamental characteristics of the frame, such as flexibility, layup, material density etc. And this is the most important information for those who read about racquet before demoing it. I mean, how helpful is it for me to know if you hit incredible ground strokes or volley with this particular racquet if I have no idea what your technique is? Maybe if I meet playtesters in person and watch video review, I will get some idea of how racquet would perform in my case, but then again – I can adapt my technique or customize the frame to make it work for me… if I like how it feels (sounds, flexes, vibrates, its sweet zone/dead zone, if it is thick/solid or hollow, firm/crisp or soft/mushy, quick through the air, etc. etc.).
Therefore, my petition to all TW reviewers: just tell me more how racquet feels, with different string setup and/or customization. :!: :?:
