Thats great to hear! i've been looking for a 95 sq head and 16x20 racket and they're very hard to come by, is this racket the same as the ultra 95 cv? and yeah you can get them for very cheap online!Justine Henin and NishikoriXxxx use a very close mould, although the drill isn't exactly the same. It's 16x20, but spacing between strings may vary. The base of the mold is this :
You can get some on the bay for nothing... You'll need to add silicone, leather grip, AND maybe nails into the silicone (I've had to) to increase the static's weight. It's the best stock Wilson racquet I've tried yet. Just a bomb. Be careful, string it low, especially with full poly bed. It's a very low powered racquet. But it's a freaking GEM!
Check out the Vonex VCore 95 and its predecessor the VCore SV 95. All 3 of these (Burn/Ultra 95 included) have a lot of forgiveness for a 95. Spin and string bed consistency is great for all 3, but the Yonex's are more comfortable.
just ordered two vcore 965's
95's lol
I believe most users here add weight to their VC95. Most add a leather grip (me included), but weight in the hoop is more personal. I added 6 grams at 12, but many prefer 9 and 3.
Yeah I plan on getting some leather grips myself what leather grips are the best? Most people I’ve talked to string this racket low so I think I’ll start with a 50/48 split with TB soft.
I think something cheap like Tourna leather is fine for this if you plan on using over grips. I really like Fairway, but its overkill.
my friend has all the customisation tools and said he'd do it for me, i just don't really know what to look for. I'm planning on travelling to play ITF future events so something similar to pros would be good, having a one handed backhand makes it difficult to have a high SW on quick courts in ireland but would be better suited to slow courts I guess?
I play with a lot of guys who are in the same boat as you, trying to transition to futures. My set up is about 340g and 340SW, (I forget the exact).
yeah i got my wilson ultra tour up to 340g and 340sw and my god when you connect with the ball its a different ball game all together but i struggled on the backhand to get the ball over the net it was bizarre! but yeah i guess ill have to mess around with it and see what its like, im an aggressive baseliner that comes to the net frequently. Not sure how i should set it up really. i loved the yonex 95D that stick was amazing but the SW was pretty low i hear stans SW is around 360 which is crazy to think
I got a pair recently for a really good price. They're on the stiff side for my taste, but with a softish string setup it's not too bad. I couldn't really make it work comfort-wise even with soft low-tension poly, but with a hybrid setup with cheapo syngut it's okay. They play quite well, and the fairly high swing weight is surprisingly manageable. I'm a bit surprised it doesn't seem to get much traction here, even though it's a pretty good racquet.
