I’m my 4th week of playing with a modern, speed mp 2023 Black and 2024 new model. I come from player frames, pro stocks mostly as I generally liked them more than retail frames but could never find a perfect fit.
At the same time, I went from playing exclusively with gut/poly to poly/poly hybrids, mostly toroline. I’ve dealt with a little golfers elbow. My guess, due to mostly technique issues as it start while using gut/poly. Ive addressed technique and I think this was all due to my transition from a classic to a more whippy modern forehand.
Fast forward today, I’m using the 2024 Black speed customized to my liking, 340 static, 32 Bal and 332 SW. The frame Is next level fast and stable. Strings are Wasabi Pro 48/50.
I’m snapping strings in about 5-6 hours but it is a damn near perfect 5 hours start to snap. Absolutely zero elbow discomfort playing 3 days consecutively, hard hitting with lots of topspin and slice. Fantastic, spin and control. Zero issues hitting flat and controlled with a relatively open 16x19 100 frame.
Going to test ether/wasabi X at 52 next. I have no issues restarting way more often than gut/poly. Wasabi Pro feels and performs better in my speed with no pain, than gut/poly (bold statement), WOW!
