wilson h tour 105 , any thoughts

[jersey34tennis]

just got a hold of a new old stock h tour 105 in 4 3/8ths grip. anyone ever hit with this version. i barely remember what the h tour 95 felt like. loved the ntour 95,s and the blue and orange tour 95. after that i lost the love of this frame with the blx white and orange and officially hated it with the steam 96. im also thinking this is a more controlled version of the steam 105 s with a more traditional feel.

The H Tour was an awesome frame. I had the 95 and had them modded to 2 pts headlight and around 345 swingweight. It's the first extended length racquet I ever liked. Never tried the 105 unfortunately.

The 95 on the other hand was super solid and plush feeling. I played a multi in mine but I can't remember which one exactly.

i replaced the old grip (deteriorating once i got the plastic off) with a leather grip and was going to put silicon in the handle but found it foam filled. so i screwed a 3 inch brass screw into the frame. unstrung weight of 10.4 right now. once i string it up and put an overgrip on it i'm hoping it's 11+ weight range. has good heavy swingweight and beam doesn't look clunky in spite it measured thickness. i may actually put some champions choice in there at close to max tension and try out my henin backhand

need to slap a bunch of lead under the handle to make it more headlight. sweetspot is pretty high up on the frame. solid on most shots if you keep up the racquet speed. hits flat shots well, a little trouble producing spin on backhand side right now. will tinker with it tonight
