I would be very interested to see a snippet of the kinds of emails received to have this added to the main post in the playtests. I am imagining something like 'They call me Billy the basher, and I crush people and could crush this playtest. Let's Goooooo!!!'
Which is a good thing no? I already add 4 grams to 9&3 to increase both swing weight and stability. Would be nice to have a racquet have those characteristics stock. Agree on your post that this spec is a serious player stick. Side note - tecnifibre had some nice foresight/luck that they have the number 1 players endorsing them!
I also liked the XTCs. Tecnifibre turned a big corner from the dismal feeling Dynacor and DCs.
I wonder if Danil makes a switch. He’s basically still using that dynacore 305 right ?
I doubt he switched or will switch. Not sure if he’s using the Dynacore.
.the 95 is technically the same specs right?SW and balance?The rumored customization specs of his final is 350 SW and 31 cm -sh balance
I think they're targeting Speed users.
Could be. The head size, beam shape, flex, and string pattern lean more toward the Prestige, Strike VS, and maybe the Blade 18x20.
Beam shape is similar to Speed (sort of a rounded box beam)
It's suitable for players who hit flat, aggressive and want to end points in a couple of shots. It's also suited to players who counterpunch. I'd demoed the RS 305, and I found it really good for defence.
I feel like its the modern day Radical MP. They trying to out Radical the Radical. Radical on Roids. The Radical mp now is like kinda weak.
See that was not my experience playing with the XTC version. The 18x19 has a decently high launch angle and flat balls can float some.
When I strung my RS and XTC 305 below 52 - yes balls tended to float sometimes. I also added a smidge of weight at 3 and 9 for stability. Between 52 and 53 has been the sweet spot.See that was not my experience playing with the XTC version. The 18x19 has a decently high launch angle and flat balls can float some.
Obviously could've been the user
Agree with this to an extent. Where I agree is it definitely fits a medvedev style. When you’re playing in attack mode: you can feel comfortable ripping balls through the court with confidence in count too and power. But the racket does give you good bite of spin when you really decide to put some on it. So that access to spin and ability to hit flat is what I love on 18x19 pattern.
) lol.Yes, I'd say that the balance point is probably the culprit here.
I’m in. Just trying to pull together an outfit for the review.
I can’t wait for mine to arrive. Where in the states are you located?
Hi @ChrisJR3264 , I'm located in Sunnyvale, in the SF bay area, California.
Ahh was hoping you weren’t in CA so mine would have a chance of getting here sooner lol. I’m in SW Florida. I’m expecting a Friday delivery.
Red, White and Blue - Great looking racquet! I'll bet anyone who can swing it comfortably will love it!
I'm yet to get my racket from the stringer. I should get it in the evening. The specs are almost spot on.
What did you string with and what tension? I think I’m going to go with the razor code from the play test at 53.
I'll string it with a hybrid of Razor code(M) and Triax(C) at 53/53 lbs.
I doubt if you need to add any weight to the hoop of the frame. The unstrung SW of my demo is in the low 300s matching the TW average. It should be stable enough.
Yeah I mean 2 grams (1 each at 3 and 9) isn’t entirely enough to change the SW or balance much especially with a thick overgrip.
Nice I’m hoping to get mine tomorrow. I’m stoked.
Ohh, was it an L2 or an L3 ?
