Can't say I know how the incoming que [sic] is handled but FIFO would seem to be how things are being handled now anyway. Serial processing is laggy in nature due to the individual consideration each request deserves.
actually, 8 unique slots = 8! permutations = 40320 permutations
Yes, internet really bummed everything out.... I remember an old IBMer telling us that in his time they would have send a proposal by mail (not email) and then one month later receive an answer. And that those were the good days. For me and my teams, in the past 15 years, it was several proposal iterations per hour... Things changed, that's for sure
amen
No worries! I know stuff happens
Average i think. 5'10" 210lbs
Good luck, no matter what you are swinging, and enjoy this awesome sport!!!
extremely good points... in the end having that quality consistent product is his strength. They arent magic sticks but they are exceedingly competent and give me what im looking for... which is dependable pro-grade excellence that respects my needs as a player not some marketing scheme.I just had to order it. I was very curious for a long time about it. Some people compare them to PT57A, which I'm sure it's not the case but still, I had to do it.
On the other hand, owning 9 Angell racquets, while 3 of them are my mains, I think I have an idea about the quality of the frame.
The funny thing with the TC95 is that, if you hit with it for a while (like more than a week) you'll say that yeah, it's ok, a good frame, but nothing special.
The problem rises when you want to change back to whatever you were hitting with before... and suddenly it's not right anymore.
You miss the Angell from your hand. Very hard to explain, but the bloody frame grows on you!
As for communication, there are customers and customers. Patient ones and guys filled with urges that need to be scratched immediately. It's a challenge to run a business, and so far Paul is doing a great job about it. The best way for me to describe it is to wish my own business to have the same success.
One trick about it is to have the customer poked from time to time with a short message, even if it's "dude, we are still working on your question, you were not forgotten... please be patient", so that he knows that he was not forgotten and that he will receive an answer, ever if it takes longer to respond. Keeping the less patient customers warm is key
But, as I said, I truly believe that the Angell offer is the most serious on the market right now, with excellent quality (better than every major company like Wilson, Head even Yonex as retail racquets) at great prices!
But... TC97 18x20 under 60RA? Paul?
Not so much in the beam widths. Pattern is ok at 16x19
Hey, my email regarding the bags only had 935 words. I just checked!
Im holding out for the octa-core which should be twice as good, Heh!
The very low RA is the whole bloody point
)))Man, that would be the dream... Paul making a box beam, 58RA or under, 18x20, 95 to 98 head size, low weight quality racquet, for us to purchase and go nuts with any config we would like. There is a difference in feel between the D section and box beam. I tend to like the box beam... My PS85s are the most wonderful sticks ever created in terms of feel. For now it looks like only the TC95 fills in the spot.
I always found the PS85 to be too stiff for my tastes but man I love hitting those Edberg on the run backhand winners with them... I'm into the TC95 D beam honestly... more dampened and maybe faster though the air? The TC95 reminds me a lil of my youngest brother's max impact plus 95... a bit more solid and pinpoint though and lower powered. Way more spin...
The very low RA is the whole bloody point
I hope my tc95 18/20 feels better, because its pretty average the two times i have played with it. Its the heaviest most headlight version. A bit flimsy, dont feel the sweetspot enough, and just not sweet....I just had to order it. I was very curious for a long time about it. Some people compare them to PT57A, which I'm sure it's not the case but still, I had to do it.

But... TC97 18x20 under 60RA? Paul?
hmm doesnt sound like the same experiences ive had. What is your string setup?
What tension did you string your TC95? Maybe you have better results with a lower tension.
The 70 is more siff... The 63ra is really plush.
Yes, probably that is the reason as the swingweight of the 63RA frames is a lot higher than the 70RA ones because of a complexer construction process.
maybe you need lighter more head heavy.
Swingweight of my TC95 63RA is 310 unstrung.
Do you know the SW of your stock TC95 as well as your Vantage 95 with lead? I'm gonna pull the trigger on a TC95 to possibly replace my H22. I'm debating between the 330g/31 cm and the 330/31.5 cm options. My preferred SW is 345-350 and preferred balance is 6-8 pts HL and I may have to add some weight as well to achieve that but I'm not sure how adding weight will affect the balance. I'm waiting on a response from Paul as well but hopefully someone can chime in.
Unfortunately I don't know the swingweights strung but during the ordering process of my TC95 I asked Paul and he estimated a swingweight of about 310 unstrung. So it 'll be about 335-340 strung as strings usually increase the swingweight with 25-30 points.
May I ask what was so unspectacular about it when you first tried it? Was it not powerful or stable enough before the extra lead? Some ppl are saying that its not as stable and powerful as they had hoped and some are saying the contrary. Maybe I should go with the 320g version to leave more room for my own customization.
I think I was still too much used to the Tecnifibre TFight 335 16x20 that was my regular frame 6 years ago and I didn't give the Vantage enough time then. Last 3 years I played with Völkl C10 Pro and since a few months I tried my Vantage again and I noticed a big improvement after I put some weight at 12. Especially my backhand improved a lot. Maybe this is because of the lower balance of the Vantage vs the C10 Pro (31,4cm vs 32cm). My team mates noticed this as well and they keep complimenting me with What a backhand! and Beautiful backhand!
I am unfamiliar with the 97s, or I would be able to venture a guess as to if you would feel a difference (and unfamiliar with your playing style as well!) Hope this makes sense!!!I can say I did. But, I think that is a very subjective question. 12 months prior, I wouldn't have noticed a difference. I thought all frames felt the same. Even now, I have a better developed sense of feel than I did a few months ago. I can hand my mom a classic Prestige, a Tecnifibre LTD, An O3 White, and a Walmart racquet, and she won't notice a difference, as she doesn't play everyday. So, this may sound like a vague answer, but IMO, you really have to try them. I thought JackB1 was going to LOVE the TC-100, and it turned out, he didn't. I thought Racketeer and BackhandedCompliment would LOVE their TC-95's, and I was correct!!! So, I am 2 for 3
(It's still fun to hit with other frames, but there isn't one made that will replace practice and court time)
