Playtest update:
Played 10 hours total so far (incl 2 more UTR matches):
- Overall mixed feelings (PR @ 46 in Gravity Tour)
- Comfortable and hits a heavy ball
- Serves still don’t feel great (lack of spin) but looking at video my opponent took they’re about as effective as my regular
- I use slice backhand a lot and it feels compromised
- Feels too powerful / too much pocketing (eg reacting to hard hit return).
What I’m thinking next:
- Have BK 1.23 on the way (like the color and “less elastic PR” someone called it sounds appealing)
- Could try PR 1.23 crossed with something stiffer as
@Trip recommended; or just string it higher, say @49
- Could try PR 1.28 (since it’s comfortable the beefiness tradeoff might be fine)
@Blade_X experience is encouraging
- To complicate matters I’m also considering a switch to Gravity Pro (at least for set1 of matches lol)
Here’s a video of playing a match with PR123:
