Wilson Ultra Tour (Monfils)

One of mine fits the 'beefy' category. It's never been strung/hit, and while only 2-3g over listed specs for static weight, it'll come in at 33.4cm balance and hefty swing weight once strung.
Mine is close to those specs, normal static weight but more head heavy than expected. It feels a bit harsher/crisper than my friends UT, but power and plow are better. I might get a 2nd one, just to be able to tinker a little bit with lead and balance

I have a second that was strung but never hit. It's dead-on TWs listed specs (making assumptions about SW). Matching those should be interesting, if I ever get around to it.

For me personally, the G360+ Prestige MP doesn't have the power of the Angell TC95 18x20 (at least in stock form). I have modified mine but have not had a chance to hit with it yet. It will be interesting to see how they play when closer to each other in weight. There will still be a 10g difference (since my TC95 is 364g and the G360+ PMP is 354g) but it's not as drastic as before.

One thing is for sure, Head has done a very good job with the G360+ Prestige MP and Mid (although I would have to use a Hybrid setup with the Mid to make it feel plusher and closer to the MP).

What will the G360+ Radical line be like...hmm...?
Can you describe an comparison between the G360+ Prestige MP and TC95 more in detail (regarding forgiveness, feel, stability, power, touch and control)?

Yes, but I have not been able to have much of a hit due to COVID restrictions and a few niggling injuries. So, I will endeavor to do this soon and report back. Thanks

I've been trying everything in my UT. Yes, it's modified. Started with a Gut/poly. Went to Kevlar. Went to NXT. Tried a HEAD multi.
Against my better judgement, I went to a full bed of Yonex 18-gauge poly and took it down to 44lbs. It plays fantasitc....BUT....I just hate that I'm going to take it out the third or fourth week and its going to suck. I've heard good things about Confidential but it's still a poly and I cannot depend on the string endurance. UGH.

I've played my UT with a thin poly in the Mains (like Tier 1 Black Knight 1.18mm or Volkl Cyclone 18L - 1.15mm, etc) @ 46 lbs, and then a softer string in the Crosses (something like a Babolat Origin 1.25mm (or equivalent in another brand like Tecnifibre Mulifeel, Isospeed Cream 1.23mm, etc) @ 43 lbs; or Weiss Cannon Explosiv @ 46-48 lbs, or a Syn Gut in 1.25mm @ 48 lbs).

This seems to give a bit more life to the string, especially with something like Babolat Origin or WC Explosiv... as they don't go dead (or bag out) as quickly, and help the stringbed feel softer while adding some power.

I don't know if you've tried something like that... so hopefully, that helps.

I know this is not a H19 thread but maybe some one can answer. Is there different H19 layups? I just got 2 Wilson Ultra Pro 18x20 painted racquet and the seller told me they are H19. I have 4 older h19 with black green blade paintjob but they feel way more flexiable. I don't have access Babolat RDC so i can't check the real Ra of the racquets. Is there any external differences between the retail ultra pro vs the h19 to identify them? Thanks

H19 is just the mold name. As with Head, lay up can vary within the same mold

I think the ultra tour/ultra pros are 63RA whereas the H19s are around 60RA. Probably why you feel the H19s are way more flexible.

Btw, I have a pair of Ultra Tours for sale if anyone is keen.

The H19s that I have are considerably stiffer than the Ultra Tours.
Significantly more powerful.
