I tried most of them and for me the best is Wilson Blade pro stock v9 16/19. Has everything. Good control, power and spin. Only minus is high swing weight with 305 static weight and 325 balance. To make it playable I had to add 15 g to the handle.
Aloha Beckett & Simon, Excellent presentation, originality, and humor! 🤣You deserve an award for producing this awards show!! It's fun to watch the interaction between the two of you having fun while creating engaging content!!! 👍👍
You are pure genius making all these jokes, call-backs and dramatic twists in the videos Congrats! Plus, you ask people to stay, but who the f**k is gonna leave with the content being so inspiring and interesting!
Stalking you guys on instagram, I thought the 20,000K subscriber video would involved Luca and the announcement you guys where focusing on pickeball :P In all seriousness though, I've enjoyed this channel immensly, and I love the both well produced feel and still the very approachable familiar feel you guys give to the channel, if that makes any sense. Looking forward to the next videos!
Hey man, looking for a cross strung for natural gut, tried some shaped ones don't really blend, not fan of luxilons, do you think rpm rough is a good choice? Or any poly you can recommend. Appreciate you enthusiasm..
I don't have a ton of experience with natural gut experiments. I've tried it with ALU Power, ALU Rough and Tecnifibre RedCode Wax. General I look for more slippery strings to increase the longevity of the stringbed. RPM Rough is slippery and spin is good, but I've found that it saws quite a bit anyway. If you like a softer feel, I'd go Ghostwire, if you like firmer, I'd go ReString Sync or Polytour Fire or something in the middle, Hyper-G Round.
I prefer, stiffer more crisp polies but they don't seem to go well with gut, that's why afyer sth tad softer and more elastic. Also would rather not go smoth and round like hyper g. Probably will give rpm rough a shot. Many thanks tho, love the sudden ending episodes :)))
Love the vid. I am contemplating the Babolat PureStrike 100 16x19. Is there much different with the 98 and 100 as the specs are pretty much the same except for unstrung weight?
i tested a bunch of strings earlier this year (didn’t play for the last 4 months due to an injury) but sync was my favorite string. need to try the o-toro/sync hybrid soon
Hi Beckett - I put Solinco confidential 16L in my Gravity MP at 39lbs with great results, I have tried a few string setups (lynx tour @40, Wasabi Pro @39 and 50, Toro Toro @39) but always come back to my confidential setup. I also have a new pure strike 98 but am struggling to find the perfect string setup. Do you have any ideas? So far toro toro and confidential @39lbs have both been decent, currently has o-toro @39 with okay (if a bit launchy) results. What would you try in the PS if you were me?
I string quite a bit tighter than you so it's tough to say since strings behave differently at different tensions. I would probably do Grapplesnake Tour M8 next since it's one of the only strings I've tried and had success with in the low 40's.
O-torro gets my pick as well. Weird string at first, but couldnt put that raket down with those strings. Other strings feel better, but I am consistently winning more matches with this. I will switch mid-way during a match and I just start playing better and consistent. I have same 3 rackets strung with diff strings and the O-torro just makes me win more. I didnt want to like it, but its just works for my game. (Speed pro 18x20)
Quick recommendation - have the script behind the camera for better connection with the audience :) Was surprised to see the attention of the speaker looking in other direction. Great video though
I guess RS Sync is a good fit. If you miss some shape on the mains I'd go for Tourna Big Hitter Silver 7 Tour, it isn't the most slippery string (but that's what the sync is for) although decent, but it excels in every other category, including price. Tour Sniper (Grapplesnake) is great too but in my experience it notched really fast (maybe sync would fix that), although I admit I didn't try it on a full bed but crossed with Pro Last grey (pretty stiff string). If you're looking to go more budget (who doesn't?) then my top 1 recommendation is MSV Focus Hex. Even if it was at double its price it would still be one of my favourite strings. If you like a little more pop, Focus Hex Ultra is a great string too at a little higher price. I've got FHU 1.30 in white crossed with some cheap medium stiffness poly 1.25 in my Pure Strike VS and it feels like you can't miss swinging at will. And the best string I've ever played is probably full bed of Zero 16g but it's hard to get from Europe (as maybe MSV is in America for what I've heard). Hope that helps!
Rf01 Pro maneuverability is better than the blade? Tell me that you feel that on a 3rd set of a 3h ago game on a windy day. Tell me it’s more stable, more accurate, whatever. Maneuverability? Camon…
This is awesome....unfortunately the part I got most excited about at the beginning was the claim that the worst racquets of the year would be called out as well - tell us!
Apparently you miss the part in the title of the video or when he mentioned: It's ONLY 2024 racquets... as far as I remember the PD WAS released in 2021. So yeah, maybe next year with the new release it will be up there as every new PD release
So TennCom of you to choose none of your contenders as winners. And dig the nod to the upstart Carve racquets at 1:47. I'm all about trying their AdTouch 97!
Came on my recommended again I have an idea but no one will have the back bone to make it instead of best can we do worst as this will save many people time and money..
@@TennCom You the man about time must say I’m a fan for life if/when you make the vid 🫡 Ty sir as I believe it’s just as if not more valuable than best of …
Idk cause I personally hated the Pure Strike 98 16x19 😅 for some reason it just doesn’t feel comfortable for me at all. My Yonex Ezone 100 feels so much better and power wise about the same
That was fun guys. Now you need more people on your team or in the cast-like a woman. You know eye candy when handing out the statuettes. Can’t wait for next year’s award ceremony.
Easy... mention other strings released this year?? Appart from Pure Rush or Sync I don't see anything really new in strings this year... Now something that good, not much actually
How you can pick best racquet or best string, best racquet and string is that suit you and your play. Ther is no best racquet or worst, and ther is no best string and worst. All racquets and strings reviev are useless

Thanks for the fun vid! What’s your fav string setup for RF01 Pro?
Brilliant entertainment as always!
The best strings I’ve ever used since 2023 and will only use going forward is TecniFibre Razor Soft! Control + power + feel is 🔥
You guys are awesome, keep up the great work.
Love the vid. I am contemplating the Babolat PureStrike 100 16x19. Is there much different with the 98 and 100 as the specs are pretty much the same except for unstrung weight?
I haven't hit the new 100s sadly
What’s the code for your Tweener league?
i tested a bunch of strings earlier this year (didn’t play for the last 4 months due to an injury) but sync was my favorite string. need to try the o-toro/sync hybrid soon

Have you ever triee tecnifibre 4S? How does it play comparons to o toro or restring zero?
This video made me buy my first “higher end racket” in the form of the Carve All Court.
I picked up the 2024 Pure Strike and have been loving it. Currently running Toroline Otoro x Caviar and really loving the set up! Thanks for the recs
Eyyyyy. I’m running that same hybrid. O-Toro mains x 18g caviar cross 🙌🏼
"this is breaking the rules , but this is my channel and I get to do whatever I want" 🤣🤣This is why we love this channel 😁
have you try prince beast 100?
Carve 100 is the real deal, amazing racquet

What tension are you using with Re-string Sync? Cannot get it to work at 50lbs :/(
depends on the frame but 48-52lbs. It might just not be for you
@@TennCom THX - no, like Zero or Zero/sync muuuuuch more. O toro to test next
Where is the winner?? It would have been nice to see it and what string goes with it???
Quick recommendation - have the script behind the camera for better connection with the audience :) Was surprised to see the attention of the speaker looking in other direction. Great video though
Your choice of string setup for RF01 Pro?
PS - Not rich to afford Champions Choice.
Alu Power Rough
Tour Bite Diamond Rough
Solinco Outlast
Yonex Poly Tour Fire

@@googlereviewer1944Can you compare for God sake ALU Rough to TB Diamond Rough? I've been asking this for months and still nothing
I love this channel.
Boom MP has the same string pattern. Where did you come up with a wrong info like that?? Head never adressed the inconsistent string bed..
Absolute blade disrespect 😤
Another great video. How can I become a member of this channel?
are you ever gonna try prince racquets or volkl strings
Thrilling!
Congrats on 20k!
Whats si your opinion of the blade v9 pro ?
Could you make a video on good automatic tennis stringers and bad one please or recommend some to me
We don't have access to any variety of stringers unfortunately so it's impossible for me to recommend anything
I played with 2 hammers 5.2 and a hammer 2 H2. RF 01, is like milking the cow 2x.
Rf01 Pro maneuverability is better than the blade? Tell me that you feel that on a 3rd set of a 3h ago game on a windy day. Tell me it’s more stable, more accurate, whatever. Maneuverability? Camon…
More Prince racquets please
😆👍Loved this! (I even subscribed recently! 😱)
thanks for being here!
You definitely need to try the Nordicdots Model 99.
That's the brand that personally f-ed Beckett
Huge celebrating Christmas before Halloween energy
In October???
Did not see that all-around winner coming tbh but I can't argue with it
I knew you would put the Pure Aero Rafa in there. Trying to be sneaky eh?
what is the banned string
I am curious too.

@@sebastiancastellanos6165yeah I’ll admit I was wrong about that thanks for reassuring me
So you finally have sponsor. 😂
And it is a Wilson;) rf01 is a control racket😂
I just realized Mr. Chungus, the shelf in the back is getting very, very full. The addict in you is begging to create a batcave for rackets. 😂
Was hoping for a 20k giveaway from those shelf racket that is collecting dust.
I don't know why but I was expecting the Pure Aero Rafa to win the Spin Racquets award (for Beckett at least lol)
They came out in 23
Good video.

Don't they make clothes?
Hearing Aid Beige 💀🪦
What’s the name of the company that is banned from the channel?
Would love to know this too!
Nordicdots apparently 🤷♂️
Jep, thats it
Nordicdots
Yeah Nordic - very curious about what string of theirs he liked so much
not reasonable but just comic, your grading
Pure rush is just a bit too soft for me cannot hit through like i can with my grapplesnake tour sniper razor code hybrid
Too bad you don't recognize ND as the best racket or string manufacturer 🤭🤭
First
I don’t trust the opinion on the best strings when you guys are affiliated and Toroline won every string catagory
Credebility loss. Hard one
Easy... mention other strings released this year?? Appart from Pure Rush or Sync I don't see anything really new in strings this year... Now something that good, not much actually
Except that Tru Pro Pure Rush won for power and Restring Sync won for control? Your comment just took a huge credibility hit.
Only 1 out of the 3 was Toroline 🤷
havent watched the vid yet but just go for the 2nd best option he mentions if u dont trust his opinion coz hes affiliated lol
Head Gravity is not nominated at all 😢
Did the retail version of the Head Gravity come out in 2024?
Diadem probably. Since this company also makes racquets. And I've heard things about the questionable personality of the company head
Diadem has been good to me. Sent me stuff to test no questions asked. No attempts to control the narrative, just a hands off approach.
what on earth is this? lets throw all these random raquets together and promote all carve. which no one ever heard of
How you can pick best racquet or best string, best racquet and string is that suit you and your play. Ther is no best racquet or worst, and ther is no best string and worst. All racquets and strings reviev are useless
So you get your feeling hurt and resort to recommending the 2nd best?
No, he's just refusing to recommend or promote a product if the manufacturer cannot be a reasonable professional in the face of criticism.
Well it‘s his channel, his opinion, his „awards“. No claim to objectivity
What company is he referring to?
