I haven’t used a Head leather grip before but you can get thin versions of the Tennis Warehouse brand. This one didn’t seem to increase my grip size

That’s a tough question. Toroline just has so many offerings that you can pretty much find something for everyone. Restring has Zero which is a lot of fun but will probably only work for a small group of players as a full bed. Sync is very approachable though and is my baseline string the moment. It plays really neutral and I can throw it in any racket and know it’ll work out pretty well.

Thank you

No 🧢

Solinco Hyper-g or Hyper-g Soft. Or from Toroline I’d try Toro Toro

I go between 48-50 depending on conditions

The blade 16x19 V9

True! I’ve been putting them to good use!

I’ll find a grommet that will allow me to center the tape at the point where the weight should be concentrated

I haven’t really had a desire to try that one. Have you? If so, what was your experience?

@@simmstennis Tried 30 sticks, best ive played. give it a try!

@@johnsmith-zf1fd Wow, that’s some high praise!

Stock with Poly Tour Pro at 50lbs

@ so you don't use it then?

@ no, I’m currently using the blade

Bold statement to call this “wrong”. That word choice is “wrong”. Perhaps what you meant to say was imperfect? That I would accept. The rackets are a much closer match than they were before, as the weight, balance and swingweight match now. I understand the twist weight does not match but I don’t have a tool to measure for that. Almost nobody matches twist weight. Hear me out on this though, I’d be willing to bet the twist weight numbers are even closer than they were before the customization. Here’s the logic, the racket with the higher swingweight has more mass in the head. Unless that mass is directly at 12 o’clock (the odds of this are close to 0%) it would also have a higher twist weight. When I added the mass to the other racket and it wasn’t at 12 o’clock (therefore it was added away from the center axis) they most likely became closer in twistweight as well.

@@simmstennis fair point, let’s call this imperfect but it’s based on my experience of matching my own racquets. I have 2 pure strikes that are 4 points apart in SW. I have tried two setups on the lowest SW racquet, 1st with 1.3 grams at 12 and 2nd with 1+1 at 3&9. SW matching achieved in both setups, then tried on the court… 1st setup makes the racket feel identical to the other one, 2nd racket feels slightly less manoeuvrable on my loopy top spin forehand because of the weight location. You can feel it already with just 1+1, imagine if you put more. This is my experience at least, I agree that measuring twistweight is difficult and you don’t know where the weight actually is, it is unlikely that is all concentrated at 12 as you say. I hope I have clarified my view, and thanks for making this content available.

@@mancio-29 Thanks for listening and thank you for sharing your story. You must be very in tune with your equipment in order to feel such a small difference. I’d love to one day get something like a Yonex Precision Scan or Metortune. These will measure twist weight and even the weight of the right and left sides of the racket.

What color would you like to see?

@@simmstennis honestly anything but hyper-g green and that kind of orange color head lynx comes in

3-4 grams total. 1.5-2 on each side.

It could be. Ben Shelton made that switch and it worked out pretty well for him. There’s also a chance that you could find it too powerful or stiff feeling for your liking. I’d say give it a try if you can.

Yeah, that’s strung

Interesting!

Thanks!

If control and stability are your priority I’d go with the Speed Pro or the Blade 98. I’d say the biggest difference between the 2 comes down to the beam being thinner on the blade so it gives a bit of a softer feel but is also slightly less stable. The speed would offer more stability and a feel that is still fairly soft but a little artificial feeling.

@@simmstennis Thanks a lot for the info!!! Yeah, my brother played with the graphene touch speed pro from 2016 and liked it, but i don't know how much the racquet change over these years. Based on your comments and review i'm really leaning towards the blade due to it's thinner beam and softer feel plus the fact that i feel more confortable playing with a 98. Really enjoyind the content of the channel! Greetings from Argentina

Thanks
