Razor code SOFT is one of my favs!

I think you won more points off Matt in these 5 minutes than I did my whole match last time I played him

Swingweight units: kg*cm^2

You sure you didn’t pick a violin string instead? 😂

Sir, I applaud your enthusiasm and dedication. Your serve is better than many at the recreational level. However, by closing the racquet face initially, you're actually opening the face at a critical juncture in the serve, one that mimics the waiter's motion. This will decrease the potential of your racquet head speed. You don't want that. Your mechanics are otherwise good. There's absolutely no reason why you cannot consistently hit 100 mph. With that pace and a serve directed into the body of your opponent, you will be the leader of the clubhouse, a term I heard so many times at the Macci Academy many years ago. My best and sincerest wishes!

Great match and nice comeback!

Tried Speed Pro 2022 and immediate elbow pain with multifilment/not even poly. Went back to LMR 15yrs old. Still the best if you are able to supply our own power.

This grips starts out extremely tacky but once you sweat, the tack is gone. Disappointing.

The best explanation/demonstration I have seen Many Thanks

It is a little stiff (66RA), but nothing like a Pure Drive or anything. The foam fill mutes vibration, so I think that helps. For those with arm issues that need a poly, I would string this below 50 with Yonex PTP or Tour Bite Soft. I personally found this racquet to launch too hard with a multi. I definitely don't recommend adding a leather grip if you have arm issues. This racquet plays very close to the Technifibre Tfight ISO 305, a little less juicy.

Yonex

I was thinking about this hybrid, did you try alternating mains and crosses? I feel like I want the bite from tour sniper but the power and SnapBack from tour m8

I love the blue frame! You could even use yellow/lime poly in it and that would look hot!

I still use a Prostaff V13 315g with leather grip. I think this is a more forgiving racket, right? But is the feel similar?

I have never tried these rackets but they have decent reviews. Maybe I’ll demo it if it’s available. I grew up using heavy small headed frames but I’m in my 50s now (and out of shape) so the weight is an issue so I’m trying to figure out the most right I can handle. I am using Diadem Elevate Tour (teal one) and it’s got some weight and it’s a good frame but it seems like it’s missing something but I cannot dial it in.

We have very similar preference for rackets i think, i alternate between pa98 and the wo 18x20 as my main rackets for competitive play. Though they seem very different rackets on paper i can easily switch back and forward between them. I would say for my game it seems the pa98 loves the more spinny loopy shots, whereas the WO maintains the same spin potential, with a slightly lower launch angle but with more pinpoint accuracy. i feel i do not need to change grip or swing style at all, they feel very complementary in that sense. Maybe a slight preference for serving with the WO. They are both 2 of the best rackets on the market today i think (for my playing style at least).

I also love my Whiteout 18x20. Using it with Tour M8 at 45lbs. The feeling of a good hit is fantastic. The feeling of a bad hit, my elbow hates me for. If you hit well, it’s comfy. But I’m also not quite good enough for it. 😀

What's the balance on yours?

That is exactly my favorite grip. I think the grip is also very important as much as the string.🤓

Cool. How about serve, how to train that motion?

THe Original PS-85 Pete used weight in at 12.7oz strung.....NO ONE uses that type of weight anymore. Which really makes me question everyone going to the gym these days...peeps still can't hold an old Pete/Roger racquet

Rain and clay...perfect combo 👍👍

A solid effort from both chaps. 👍

Where do you prefer the weight at? 3 and 9 or 12?

Surprised the Vcore 95 isn’t in your top list!

Great video, thank you for sharing

Hey, whats your go too strings for this racket?

Reminds me of Luxilon 4G Soft which definitely isn't soft, just slightly less arm wrecking stiff than normal 4G!

What stick do you like best for the OHBH?

I have a bunch I like to play with now. My current is a Percept 100D which I am playing around with customizing ( I need some string recommendations and tensions), My backup is a Pure Aero 98 and the "OMG this guy hits so hard but I got this, hold my beer" racquet is my old RF Autograph ProStaff 97 lol

I just got two RF01-Pro... Where are you adding the weight and how many grams?

Cool list! I'm really enjoying Restring Zero/Sync hybrid in the RF01. Killer power and spin when on the attack. But much like other people, I struggle with the racket on defense. Fun stick though! My top 4 fav rackets that I could take comfortably into a match are Shift 99, Aero 98, Boom MP and VCORE 98.

Whats the blue string you've got in it?

You don't need to analyse the players. You play, improve & show us your best game🤷

Whats the blue string you put into the racket? And how did it play?

Also love this setup, head boom pro.

How does this compare to the RF97, can you say?

It feels really gud the pro my friend hits with that stick and its lighter and whipper than the RF 97, for me it’s heavy , I hit every day for 2 hrs and it gets heavy , I spec all my frames to 27 1/2 length , I’m switching to the 300g RF, I added weight to the 3 and 9 and 12 And some to the bottom because I extended 1/2 , all together with strings and over grip I’m at 323 grams and it’s the perfect weight for me especially since I hit every day, I string at 48 pounds even nowadays, currently tried toroline caviar , wasabi , super toro, toro toro, I think my fav is caviar

To me, there are few things more weird and unnatural than an amateur leftie playing tennis. It’s OK when Nadal does it, but doesn’t seem right when it’s anyone else.

Nice, I think I might get it

Why is the buttcap W instead of RF?

8.20.2024 What is great you can get month to month for those of you that don't play 365. I will be testing it with my girls varsity HS team starting 9.5.24 here in Northern California, and more specifically for my daughter’s matches. Historically I record her matches - HS and UTR tournaments by mounting both a go pro and a DJI action camera shooting at 4K and mic’ing her with a DJI wireless microphone and then sitting and logging a detailed score sheet. After they match I spend 2 hours in post matching up my score sheet to the videos, then another 2 hours editing a composite video of highlights and lowlights as a teaching aid for her to review. So, a lot of hours!! If I can gain any reduction in time and increased productivity, then $150.00/year is chicken feed. We shall see, I’m hoping for a lot but I also know software development and the buggy nature of things, so my expectations are not that high.

Never mind the racquet, your son is a really great tennis player 😃

Hi Andy! How do you compare the RF 01 pro and the Radical pro 23 in terms of sweetspot, stability and precision?

If you change the leather grip to for example a synthetic pro performance grip of Wilson effects the racquet maneuverability? I like more weight in the handle than top weight. I play now with the v9 18x20 but the swingweight is approx 340 and the static weight is 305..

I am using the Aero 98 as well. I have lead in the throat Y area to see how that feels at 340grams. Rybakina and Sabalenka are my faves. Rybakina is a silent killer. Love her game and who doesn't love Sabalenka's fire?

I tried the v14 Pro staff but it felt like swinging a brick. I am using a Clash Tour (1st Gen of the racquet), Pure Aero 98, and a RF97 Auto (1st Gen). My dilemma is I am looking my Unicorn racquet which feels like an RF auto for 1HBH, Serves like a BLX Blade 98, and forehands that feel like my Pure Aero 98 or even Clash. I came from using a ProStaff Six One 95 (Mardy Fish Model). My Shoulder and rotator cuff ain't what it used to be.
