Volkl midsize racquets: Are they really bigger than 93sq ???

[CollegeBound]

I got curious after hitting with a POG mid, an nSix-One 95, Volkl DNX 10 mid, Volkl t10 V-engine mid, ProKennex Heritage Type C mid and Dunlop MFil-200. It seemed to me that I could really feel a difference between the POG mid and the 95sq racquets, some difference between the PK mid and the 95s but pretty well no difference between the Volkl. The V-engine felt slightly different because it seems to be narrower in the head. All of the racquets were strung ibetween 50-53lbs with Wilson Stamina.

If I focussed solely on the feel of the racquets, the weight, swingweight and flex were very obvious BUT with the two Volkls I just couldn't honestly say that I was able to determine a larger hitting area - the extra 2sq- when using either Volkl.

So are the Volkl racquets really closer to 95sq than 93sq OR does what I'm feeling or not feeling, have more to do with sweetspot size than actual hitting surface??

 

[NoBadMojo]

Its about the sweetspot size....or at least what most people would refer to as the sweetspot, which i call the area of the racquet where you get a good solid predictable responsive response. The VE Mid has a very long sweetspot but it isnt very wide.
It's a function of how well designed the racquet is..
Example: I have found the sweetspot on the DNX10Mid to be larger than the sweetspots on the 95 headsized frames I've hit.

Here's a Volkl 93 sq. in. vs. a Yonex 98 sq. in.

Your eyes don't deceive you. There is not a lot of difference. The Volkl is a tiny bit narrower. That's about it.

By the way College Bound, how do you compare the Volkl T-10 V-E Mid to the DNX10 Mid?

NoBadMojo, just assuming I was only looking at 93-95sq racquets does that mean I'd be better off picking the one (if weight, swing wieght, etc are right) with the biggest sweetspot regardless of whether it was 93 or 95 sq?

I just didn't expect the dnx10 mid to play like that and thought the n95 and mfil-200 would feel so much bigger. Strange thing is I thought the dnx10 mid felt bigger, i just mean in the sweetspot or area that gives you a solid hit, than the dnx 10 mp in the 295g or 325g even though they're 98 sq inches also more powerful

Indy Tennis, thanks for that picture. The V-E Mid is noticably smaller than than a 98 sq head size but it seems more plush or responsive than a great many of them. I think the Volkl head shape also gives you longer mains than most 95 sq racquets and I am under the impression that longer mains equal more power. I only managed to have a couple of hits with the dnx10 mid and v-e mid so my experience is more limited than a lot of others here (I think Jonalou would be a good one to ask).

Guess if I was summing the two up Id say that the dnx10 mid felt more solid than the V-E mid, stiffer - which I found better for serving (bit more juice), more powerful, spinnier, slower through the air because of the higher swing weight, more rounded head shape (I found it was easier to hit topspin with the rounder shape). I probably found the DNX10 to be better on volleys because of the added stiffness but the VE mid was really good in that department as well.

So I suppose the DNX10 is the more potent racquet but I have to admit I really did have fun with the VE mid and if it was just a beauty contest I'd pick it first.

yes, pick the one which you get the best hits out of regardless of the headsize. I also agree with your comment about the dnx10mp and the mFil200 and n95..the sweetspot on thoise is also smaller than the dnx10Mid. dense stringbeds tends to shrink sweetspots and the dnx10mp is no exception. sounds like you are a candidate to try the t10mpGen2 while you are at it..that ome has a sweetspot that will likely remind you of an oversized frame except the power level is low. the dnx9's i am using have a smaller sweetspot for a Volkl 98 frame

 

[NoBadMojo]

By the way College Bound, how do you compare the Volkl T-10 V-E Mid to the DNX10 Mid?

Collegebound summed it up well i think. I've spent a lot of time with both of these frames so can add some stuff.

The VEMid has a long sweetspot making it great for serving but not a very wide one which i feel makes it more well suited for flatter ball hitters. It's also lower powered and is significantly easier to swing fast..thats a fun combo i think because you can take big cuts at the ball and it isnt going to fly on you.

 

[CollegeBound]

NoBadMojo, I tried the T10 GenII and hit okay but I felt like the VE mid and DXN10 mid were stiffer and that's kind of the feel I prefer. I got some more out of them on serves too but I know what you mean about that big sweetspot on the GenII.

Didn't think I'd get my best hits out of a midsize any longer but the Volkls have got bigger sweetspots than any of the mids Ive used in my years. I was considering the Wilson n95 but the Volkl mids outperforms them in all areas except power. It kind of reminds me of the the HPS 6.1 which didnt have near as much power as the nSix-One 95 but was way easier to get into position and swing fast.

 

[Indy Tennis]

I'd love to try the DNX10 Mid. I love my T10 VE Mid, but my ideal racquet would be the V-E Mid with just a little more power.

The T10 VE Mid is hard to beat with all it's touch, feel and control from everywhere on the court. I just won a tournament this weekend, so I should be happy with my progress with this racquet, and I am, but I guess we're all looking for that magic wand that gives us put-away power, but with all the control we've come to expect from flexible low-powered frames.

Could the DNX10 be the answer?

the closest to the veMid but with putaway power is the DNX9. I've been using these having converted to lighter from the T10Gen1...they are slightly lighter and not as headlight as yoiur VEMid, but nothing a leather grip wouldnt mostly compensate for, and they do have the putaway power the VEMid lacks...you also get that feel you get with the VEMid that you can unload on the ball without it flying on you, but you get the putaway power with it.,..and you get it from everywhere on the court and from all the shots. It feels firmer than the VEMid.

 

[Indy Tennis]

NoBadMojo, I've read great reviews of the DNX9, but am a little leery because of its weight 11.5 strung versus 12.2 for the VE10 Mid. Also the stiffness rating of 65 worries me a little as well.

I’ve spent a lot of time hitting with my brother’s Head LM Radical Midplus. It’s of similar specs to the DNX9 and I loved its whippiness, if you will, but I felt a tinge coming from my elbow (which was badly injured using a Babolat Pure Control with a full poly string job a couple of years back and has been very sensitive since).

Also, the only other 98 sq in Volkl I had experience with was the T10VE MP. I never found confidence with that racquet. I experienced the mysterious fly-away groundstrokes that others have reported here with that frame.

I respect your opinion though and I think I will order both the DNX9 and 10 and give them some play testing.

FYI, I just gave the Yonex Ti-80 a two-week ride a month or so ago and found it too powerful for my game.

hey thanks. i always wanted to try the Ti-80 but never had the chance. The 10VEMP is gonna fly on you if you hit the least bit late..when i first tried it i thought the stringbed was unpredictable too and even reported that in a playtest I did for TW, but i later discovered that if you dont hit late, it gives you lots of power and control..so it was operator error and this frames is particularly sensitive for some reason and doesnt let you get away with anything late

i've been beating many tennis balls for years and have always used thin beamed flexy frames, but the dnx9 isnt giving this old guy any twinges. other racquets can. it doesnt feel great on misshits however, and has a smaller sweetspot for a Volkl 98 headsize, so if you're not a good ball striker and are injured, i would pass on this one. I played earlier today and it was only 42 degrees and I didnt get stiff nasty hits out of it.

Good luck with this and let us know how you make out...the dnx10Mid is really sweet..i wish i could swing it fast enough for long enough

 

[Indy Tennis]

Hey, the switch from the T10VE Mid to the DNX9 did wonders for Stepanek.

Do you think if I switch I can end up with a sweetie like Martina?

Wait... I think I just came up with a new marketing scheme for Volkl.

"Even ugly dudes pull babes when they use the DNX9!"

aye but look at the downside..you'll look like Radek and also have to dress just like him ....the progression from the veMid to the DNX9 is a very logical one..they really do have some similarities, but the dnx9 gives you more of everything. speaking of which, what happened to Radek at the AO? i like watching him..he's got a lot of variety and even plays serve volley! he went out early?

If it matters...I just switched or am switching from the DNX 10 mid to the DNX 9....The DNX 10 mid is a gem.....smooth, plenty of spin, good plow and hits like many 95/98's.....serves well...just a really nice feel...like a PS85 on steriods....BUT for me right now it is just a smidge heavy at 12.6 with overwrap....so upon Mojo's recommendation I gave the DNX 9 a go......he is right on...it is a 98 but for me it looks and swings like a 95 because of the V-Engine shape. It has all of the feel of the DNX 10 but is a smidge stiffer but does NOT feel stiff at all..just a tad stiffer to make up for the 11.5 static weight. The swingweight is a little light for me at 314 and I was super early on all my swings(I am sure I will adjust) because of the 1 ounce reduction from the DNX mid at 12.6. I enjoy the Volkl feel and have come to the conclusion that my sweetspot is going to be static weight of 11.9 and a swingswingweight of 325..so I will have to lead a smidge on the 9...I don't think Volkl has a current stick right around there..my 2 cents...

 

[Indy Tennis]

emerckx53, thanks for the post. The weight is not a big issue for me. I hit the gym a lot and am in good enough shape to handle the weight. My T10VE Mid is right there at 12.5-12.6 oz. with dampener and overwrap.

I played with ProStaff Classic 6.1 for years and then the Pro Tour 280 as well, both beefy sticks.

Come to think of it the one and only racquet that felt too heavy for me was the Wilson ProStaff Tour 90. I couldn't come around for a quick service return with that thing to save my soul. It was frustrating because I so much wanted to like that racquet. I can truly say it was more than I could handle.

I demo'd the VE mid last year and loved it...your right it is a sweetheart..very soft and comfy with tons of control and still enough power for a quality player...I think you will love the DNX 10 mid....all of the same plus 10-15% more power...when my arm/shoulder get stronger I may go back to it....sounds like we both dig the old school sticks....demo the DNX 10 for kicks.....

 

[Indy Tennis]

For sure the DNX10 Mid and DNX9 are now on my 'to do' list.

 

[AndrewD]

emerckx53,

How would you compare the dnx10 mid to a racquet like the Wilson nSix-One 95?

Also, how did you get your dnx10 mid up to 12.6 oz with just an overwrap?

 

[ericsson]

For sure the DNX10 Mid and DNX9 are now on my 'to do' list.

IMHO you can not compare these two rackets, their not in the same league. the 10 mid is much harder to play and you need to be a good striker that hits with lots of power.

Great question......TW says it is 12.2 strung BUT my scale and a shops scale had one of my DNX 10 mids at 12.5 and one at 12.6......Volkl damp and 1 Prince Duratac overwrap on each racquet.....I dont think an overwrap and damp is 1/2 of an ounce soooo..my guess is the racquet may be heavier than TW said or we have a scale issue....

As far as the 6.1 95 I haven't hit with it...the 10 in not lacking power for me but I bet the 6.1 95 has a tad more power but I would guess there is more control and feel from the 10...got to hit em..

 

[stormholloway]

I'm curious about the DNX 10 mid as well. Is there anyone here who has hit with the Estusa Power Beam Braided (or other similar Estusa frames) that thinks the DNX 10 mid might be a good racquet for someone who enjoys the Estusa but is looking for a bit more in the service category?

I've heard talk of people transitioning from the Estusa to the DNX 10 mid and I'm wondering if this sounds right. I love my Estusa but cannot hit the kind of serves I'd like to with it.

Wow..not many are going to know the power beam.....I came from a PS85 and it has that feel...just a little more power and a little larger sweetspot.

 

[stormholloway]

I adore my PBB, but when I got it the grip was too big. I bought the very last PBB from TW by the way, with a 5/8 grip--I play a 3/8. Well I shaved it kinda squarish and prefer a Wilson shape, so it's time to do some work on it, but I would like to find an alternative to the Estusa since I can't seem to find them any more. I've heard the DNX 10 is a good alternative. It even looks slightly fatter toward the throat.

This is obviously not a question that many can answer. I really just wish Estusa was still around. I think I'll make a thread devoted to this question.

It's pretty much a straight 19mm beam all the way around....it's also soft enough to feel the frame flex and pocket the ball....

There's definitely something odd about the specs TW listed. They've got the balance as 12 pts HL when Volkl rates it as,roughly, 7pts HL and the USRSA lists it as 6-7pts HL. Now, if as they claim, TW measure several racquets to find an average then something must have been out of order (couldn't just have one over spec, must have had the whole bunch way over OR they didn't measure them at all and just went on Volkl's listed specs but made a mistake and listed the unstrung spec).

As to your frames, I weighed a Volkl dampner and an overgrip (weighted both a tournagripr and a Wilson to get an average weight) and the total was between .2 and .3 of an ounce (making allowances for my old analogue scales). If the dnx10 was, as Volkl states, 345g (12.17oz) then, after adding the overgrip and dampner, 12.4oz would have been about right. Your 12.5-12.6 is a touch over but I imagine it would fall well within the accepted tolerance range.

My only problem is that the dnx10 mid isn't sold here in Australia. Would love to try one but, at the moment, that isn't possible so I'm asking all of these pesky questions and hoping to come up with something that might swing like the dnx10 mid as a comparison (Eg: if it swings as heavy as the MFil-200 95sq then it's too much for me).

I am posting specs from Volkl on the DNX10Mid below and I have found these to be most reliable and accurate once Volkl gets into mainstream production runs. The swingweight is listed at 325 and that's sure what they feel like to me...early ones swung a bit heavier (as early release ones often seem to do from Volkl), so that explains the 331 that TW tested.

Also, the frame I think has the most similar feel to the Estusa <to me> is the nCode95...it has the flimsy in the upper head type of hoop oscillation that was a bit unique to the Estusa in my opinion.

Hi Mojo....Hmmm...since my DNX 10s seem and weigh heavy 12.5/12.6 probably no way to tell if mine have the high 331 swingweight correct? If they really were 325 on the swingweight that would be the ticket for me any thoughts run date? serial #? or just maybe swing a current version?

if you are sensitive to swingweight and discerning, you should be able to tell by comparing how it swings to a racquet which is similar that you know the swingweight of. i know what 310 swings like, 315, 320, 325, 330 etc especially when i have a known reference racquet to compare with

12.5 i assume is strung and maybe a damp and overgrip? if so, and you have a leather grip as well, using poly and even some gut strings add extra swingweight, then 12.5 could be within tolerance. i have no way of helping you here....you could always ask TW if they will RDC you the frames and pick you 325's or at least get you spot on static weight and balance.
