Flexpoint 1 OS, V1 Classic, DNX V1 MP - help me figure out
Calling all Volk and Yonex fans,
I'm confused as hell as what to do from here. This is as far as could narrow down to with my experience and knowledge. Before I start about the racquets, I'm Intermediate begineer (2.0?
probably), and like to stay back in the baseline. Pretty decent at the nets, atleast not bad.
About the racquets -
I restrung the demo V1 classic ( which I had for a week now) and checked out the DNX V1 MP to 57/55 resply. The V1 classic plays even better now. I don't know what the tension is on the Yonex RDS 003 at present, although it feels just right.
These are a few things I noted yesterday when I took all the 3 racquets and tried serving for an hour and hit some FH and BH later on. I had to do so, until someone dropped in to return my serves.
The V1 Classic with the new set of strings, serves sweet, with quite adequate power too (@ 57).
Whereas the DNX V1 MP is not responding well when I serve. Not as much power (or may be sweetspot) as the V1 Classic or the RDS 003. Whereas I was expecting the opposite from it. It hit good when I was rallying though.
On the contrary, I found the RDS 003 to be most comfortable to serve and hit with when compared to v1 classic and dnx v1. Infact the serves were a just a little long more often then I would have liked to. With the DNX V1 MP I was getting the net ..
May be just a matter of time to get used to these racquets.
Now, to be very honest, I like the feel of V1 Classic overall. RDS 003, although it is lighter than the Volkl, feels a little stiff in hand to swing but hits like a gem.
DNX V1 MP I think is very similar to V1 with a little more power (that helps my ill formed 1HBH). The only thing I failed was to serve with more power than the V1 Classic. Thats what is making me wonder
Now, there are quite a few basic things, I need an arm friendly racquet, as I had to ice my elbow after serving for an hour yesterday, not bad but more of a tinge which I wanted to address right away. I dont expect the racquet to give me too much power but should stay with me atleast till I reach 4 - 4.5.
Added later---
Do you think since the RDS feels to be a little stiffer frame, it might contribute to arm problems down the line?
I tried reading through almost all posts in this forum on Volkl and RDS, but really think the Volk fans (I myself is one, so no names) and RDS fans and common users can help me with.
Please advice,
