At some point not only me, I think want to see you guys play some mini games like race to 10 tie breaks. Talking is one and playing is another. I think it won't make much of your time like when your playing for a couple or hours. A few minutes of having fun on the court I nice aside from talking about specs all the time. But hey, its just a suggestion so its entirely up to you guys.
I play this racquet too, blade pro 16/19 . I replaced leather grip and injected some silicone in the handle make it around 340g. More stable and enough power, I am ohbh so need more weight and head light.
what happens is that you add weight, and you hit, and it feels so much more solid and more powerful, so you think "oh this is great, i'll add more" and then it feels even MORE solid, powerful, and stable, but then you get into a match situation and you don't realize that it's actually slowing you down. i learned this the hard way from playing for years and years with a 13+ ounce wilson pro staff 6.0
The CAP grommets in my Prestiges probably add 3/9 stability. I like the RF97 and the PWS probably helps. I'm not sure why Wilson didn't put PWS in the Blades as it does help with comfort for those people not comfortable adding lead. If you want a bit more pop on the serve, an XL by 1/2 inch can help. I bought my racquets with lead and it was under the grommets and it would be a massive pain to remove the grommets to remove the lead. The racquets are 13.25 ounces.
I play with the blade v8 18x20 342grams it feels really smooth when you hit and it’s stable enough against big hitters but still very maneuverable there is nothing wrong in stock form I just feel I need to time the swing really good otherwise I hit it late or miss hit it and then I start getting wrist pain. Great set up 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Harry&coach Gu, what is the difference between Silver 7 and Black 7 string??? Is the string the same and the color is different? I do realize that the color does make the string play different. But, is that the only difference in the two strings? I have played with the black 7. I really liked it. But, I hated it's lack of Durability. Hell, it did last more than 3 days of hitting.
Hi Harry, a couple of proshops in my area got their hands on the new Wilson Clash 2.0 for demo/marketing. Any chance you can get one and review? Great content BTW!
No need to use the 3-in-1 machine to check weight, balance and swingweight prior and after lead, eh? Harry will just slap on the lead by the “grey area” on your racquet!
I've played with the Dunlop Super tac and it wear's out really quick. I'm now using the Yonex Super grap and they are much better! A little bit more feel and also more durable.
@@naokisonoda-hq I actually used yonex NS grip in the past. Very good grip but it’s since been discounted for tennis though they still produce it for badminton.
I don't get it. Why there are so many people who take a blade and put lead at 3 and 9 and a leather grip? Why not to buy a Pro Staff that already has it?
You do realize that normal manufacturing tolerances on racquets are typically over 5 grams, and just a couple of grams (lead or graphite) can make a huge difference in the stability and power. Why would you not improve your weapon/tool with very minor adjustments?
@@vanodne He's not saying don't do it. He's saying unless you have a certain level think twice about it. At the recreational level (like me) it is not a weapon, it's a toy.
@@motomtl9314 if you're at the recreational level lead can still help imo, i just wouldnt add more than 2g, just start with 0.25g amd see if you prefer how that feels first
@@motomtl9314 He calls lead tape a "fad", which makes no sense to me. That's like calling overgrip a fad. Lead is just a tool that can make your tennis better and/or easier if used judiciously.
Running out of ideas …… coach gu is not an ATP player or a coach Self praise is no praise …. He looks and plays like the garden variety one dimensional baseline zombie that he is 😂😂😂😂😂
It will be more helpful if u can weigh, balance and measure the swing weight of his racket. Thanks.

I am done with experimenting with lead. Especially balancing head and handle. Developed Tennis Elbow. Playing with unaltered rackets.

Зачем ты это все писал?? В ролике аПпсолютно другая матрица H22 16x19.с твоей магазинной не сравнить.
Love ur channel!👌
Would love to know why he changed from the Vcore 95 2018 Red to the blade pro?
I have setup the weight on my two Pure Drive at around that range too, 342g.

True on putting on the lead and taking it off. I take a razor blade and score it in section. And peel it off in sections.

Overgrips are around ~4-5grams.

I live and die with Head Hydrosorb! I don’t even sweat and I love the grip!
Try Solinco Wondergrip. In my opinion, it’s better than both.
@@naokisonoda-hq I actually used yonex NS grip in the past. Very good grip but it’s since been discounted for tennis though they still produce it for badminton.
Yonex S G. Best of the best
What happened to his Yonex Vcore 95?
would it be a good idea to play with the heavier one for an hour then switch to the lighter one when getting tired ?
no it'll ruin your game bc you'll have to constantly adjust and rethink your swing
Balance and swingweight?
what is the meaning of 'od'
Overdose
Oculus dextrus or the right eye.
@@b.lakeberg7456 I’m an ophthalmic tech. That was funny. Very good.
@@chuckfriebe843 What are the odds! You made my day! Glad you found that funny. Nursing school was useful.
I don't get it. Why there are so many people who take a blade and put lead at 3 and 9 and a leather grip? Why not to buy a Pro Staff that already has it?
lol is it not more usual to add a little weight at a time?
These H22s are way better than the old blade
Hahaha, i had to put silicone in handle! Harshest racket in stock form I ever played with and i dont string at 60lb.
I'm at 347 on my head radical pro
That frame doesn't need lead. Just a leather grip.
SW about 350 for this raquet, with this led, maybe more. It's huge for modern tennis, especially for semi pro players like Gu.
He *is* a professional.
@@jerome_morrow There is a huge difference between being a professional player and being a professional coach.
@@sichinawa did you see him play? You would sh t f up...
Harry has no idea what he’s talking about.
Don't add weight to your racquets unless you're playing above 4.5 level. It's the worst tennis fad and you will get tennis elbow.
