G.O.A.T.
Thanks for sharing! He says the UP 16x19 is ~ 61RA. I can feel that Surprised he said he wasn't getting any pop on serve. That wasn't my experience, but his was stock, and mine has 2g at 12 and 6g from 2/10-5/7.
I think this is the guy I watched doing a video for the Gravity MP (have demos of it, Iga 310, and V1 Pro coming for my son), and I remember thinking this isn't the frame for me if the ball launches like that off the strings, haha. It's just him; my ball wasn't landing like butterflies the other night when I hit the UP 16x19, but as you mention, he tightened the screws during point play, and you can see the versatility of the racquet.
Yeah, intrigued by that versatility. Can't remember if it was you or someone else recently talking about a tight angled backhand that left him in awe, a shot he'd have never been able to pull off before. Angles are just easier to carve with open patterns, and I suspect this one can put all kinds of crazy mustard on spin serves wide, kickers, etc, with that open pattern and the softness that holds onto the ball a touch longer. Very eager to read your thoughts on this and the Iga side by side. My holicing is on pause because of a stupid back strain/spasm I have to give at least a few more days to cool down. So post any and all thoughts so I can live vicariously.
