The answer is probably buried somewhere in this giant thread, but does anybody happen to know if Head TK82S pallets fit the hairpin of the TC custom line of frames?

I think a new range of 16x19 with 8 mains at the throat will be a very welcomed addition to the existing offerings.

I have both versions of TC95 (in both RA's), so IMO there is a gap within the big brother line of TC100. Yes it could just be 16x19 with 8 mains, but I would personally prefer a 18x20 just like the little brother of TC95.

It seem to me to be some heavy spec with 325mm on a 27.5" - so I guess. you are right when adding a lot of weight to the handle. The 325mm is with grommet and grip.

I get 310g / 315mm on a 27" and that translate to about 335g / 320mm with strings and overrip.

Yes totally my fault for not doing a baseline spec, but I sent it in the restring and customize to meet my other racquets. Didn't expect that much more weight. A bit silly mistake but too late now to do anything.

You do know that all Angell's custom TC100 frames are all alike in spec and are customized with weights inside the pallets. That's what is so great about Angell's custom series is that you can easily open up the pallets and make changes to your racquet. You can even buy other pallets if you don't like the shape or the size of your current handle.

That would only work with if I wanted more head heavy, not to get a head light balance. At 325mm or 5.5pts unstrung, it wouldn't be so bad, but I suspect the mislabelling isn't right and it's around 330+.

iirc.. there are 4 slots under the Angell pallet to house various weight pieces. This is to achieve the “custom” aspect of the Angell offerings. The weights comes in different weight, so there are a few combo for you to play with to achieve either more HL or HH.
mot seems you can move the (probably heavier) weight closest to the top of the handle location to the location that is closest to the butt cap, to achieve a more HL-ness.

www.angelltennis.com www.angelltennis.com

I think we can all agree that 2020 wasn't the year that we had hoped for or expected at this time last year. As many of you are aware I had the added disruption of a difficult health diagnosis in early 2020 but I am pleased to share with you that I am now in remission and looking forward to making a full recovery. I want to thank all of you for the kindness and support you have shown to both myself and the Angell brand over this difficult year.

To celebrate the end of 2020 I am delighted to announce the launch of our new K7 Series, consisting of seven frames - five brand new models and a fresh new look for the entire range.

All models are available now with a full range of matching luggage and apparel arriving in mid January 2021.

Wishing you all keep safe and well

Paul

Is the Cyan a brand new frame, or just the ASL line repainted to bring it into this new consolidated K-Series?

While I don't play with extended frames, I think the ability to now get an XL K7 Red or Lime is great.

Cyan is a brand new frame, different mold. Plays also different and i really enjoy it)
 
Sorry but imho this is a total miss by Paul. Ugliest looking racket he has ever designed. Design now even looks like Wilsons design..
And still no 16x19 with 8 mains in the throat.. I mean come on..
I own or have owned almost every racket made by Angell but this time I wont be buying..

I agree with you about the new design on the K line, not my cup of tea. I believe, it would have been better to add a 16x19 with 8 mains or a 16x20 string patterns to the custom line. A TC95 16x20 :love:

I used the G360+ Prestige Pro for a while and i think it's moreso that the sweetspot on the Prestige is fairly small (imo).

The TC97 will be easier to use and provide more power (i think - my TC97 needs a restring), launch angle for the 16x19 will also be a lot higher since it's also very open vs. the closed 16x19 pattern (but an 18x20 TC97 will probably have a lower launch angle).

The TC97 will also be softer on contact and a little less muted.

I got a TC95 and CX200 Tour and the prestige def does play like it has a smaller sweetspot compared to the two. Sounds like 18x20 is the way to go then, I just recently switched to 16x19 so not super committed to it. Is there a weight you would recommend over the other? 310 or 320g? Super subjective obviously but curious to hear your thoughts on which weight option you went with.

I haven't really tried many weight variations, all my Angells are roughly 310g/9pts HL, and then I lead up the hoop (currently 5g @ 3&9, 2-3g @ 12) for ~340g/4pts HL strung.

It's still not completely dialled in for me, contemplating putting even more lead since it still swings fast through the air.

Nice! Oh yeah, was the power lower on the Angell compared to the Prestige?
 
What are the specs on your TC95 and how does it hit compared to the CX 200 Tour?

Coming from a 360+ Prestige Pro, and now using a TC97, I find the PP has slightly more power, except on serve. The TC97 allows me to serve more aces.
Click to expand...

vs. 63RA 18x20 TC95 - PP feels like it has more pop on standard rally balls, although the TC95 has the edge when flattening out, and serves.
vs. 16x19 TC97 - I think the TC97 just has more pop on rally balls and serves although I'm unsure if the former is just due to it needing a restring (they're very loose by now); PP still flattens out easier due to the closed 16x19.

Like so many before that have echoed the sentiment... still not sure how Angells serve so well :unsure:, they just cut through the air so quickly and thump the ball on contact.

My Tc95 is a 330g/12 pts HL/70 RA/16x19 compared to my Dunlop which is the 18x20 tour with about 4-5 grams of lead in the hoop @ 3 & 9. Overall I prefer the Angell but the Dunlop suprised me a lot. It felt super "raw" but I can't say I felt the flex that much. I think I added too much lead to it as well and never got around to taking it off. I did make a plan though to take the leather off of it and add in silicone in the hand to lower the total static weight and change the lead placement around a bit but never got to it. If you are willing to tinker the Dunlop is great but without it I would pick the Angell. Foam filled racquets just "feel" so much more solid to me. I think the only department I enjoyed the Dunlop over the Angell was my forehand but I cannot say that for the rest of my strokes.
 
I don't know to articulate how excited I am.

I asked Paul to try and match my favoured 324 strung SW. Hope that's in the realm of possible.

Hope it arrives soon. Can't wait to see the Octane PJ with pink Multifeel.

Probably, compared to other frames in K7 line it is noticable for me, but i enjoyed Cyan the most of all three of them. A gem for me)

Have you tried a TC100 as well? How is it different then the TC100? Is it the same very open drill pattern in the center?

I compared once, i have TC 100, but not as my main frame, with the same weight/balance. Pattern is the same, but felt differently for me, the mold is different. As of my personal preference, i didn't felt connected that much to TC 100, more control and feel for me, but without sacrificing pace, and easier to accelerate.

How is the swingweight with the new paint job for TC95?
Click to expand...
Apparently the new Octane paint job has a slightly higher swing weight than the older Black & Copper (v3) paint job (up to 5 SW points). I believe that weight-wise the Octane paint job may be closer to the Black & Grey (v2) cosmetic.

I have one black grey v2 and one octane TC95 16x19 and the second is 3.5 SW points more. Ymmv.
 
Looking at the new K7 Lime and it looks great, and I am tempted. I now play with Angell TC95 18x20 RA63 and RA70, and I wonder what would be the difference and would I gain anything with the K7 Lime over the TC95 18x20 RA 63 310/315.

For you that have played both racquets, please give your advice.

Thanks.

Edit: did a search within this thread and found all the info I was looking for.

To me the key question is if and when the new K7 Cyan line will also be available in the octane cosmetics. :p If that’s the case, count me in for 5 x K7 Cyan XT.

I think the Cyan colour is a nice shade. Dont think the K series will share the TC PJ though... but never say never... lol

I doubt it, I don't think they've ever offered K7 in a different paint job (although actually typing that, I think I did read about a Slazenger paint job ages ago?).

If you have a TC95 Octane, what is the swingweight?
