I had my rally session. Power level continues to be low. Trajectory is low as well. Lots of balls going into the net unless I consciously try to clear the net. Also with my natural swing, I'm not seeing a whole lot of spin either. Lots of balls going long also, most of which happened when I either try to pick off shots landing deep on the baseline or drive short low balls. Overall, not very confidence inspiring on ground strokes.

I forgot to mention during yesterday's doubles play, volleys were awesome. Energy from incoming shots were absorbed well and then sent back with ease. Pretty much point and shoot.

Following up on this setup. I have about 11 hours logged. Power and spin continues to be low while feel has been very good. The string bed is soft but firm making volleys fun to hit. The ball flight, interestingly, feels and looks like it has a parachuting effect. The string bed feel and parachute effect have given me added confidence driving the ball with my OHBH, whether it would have topspin, sidespin or underspin.

Durability also seems to be very good. I've been trying to break these strings to get to the Head Spin playtest but the RA crosses aren't fettuccine'ing nor fraying and the mains stay out of place far less than the PTD/RA setup. Overall, still very playable. I went from "This is not fun to play with and I hope it breaks soon." to "Hmm, I hope this doesn't break. I'd like to use this for my 2 league matches this weekend.". For me, this LT/RA setup is way better than the PTD/RA setup.
