  • Beckett reviews the Carve 100 All-Court, which is an homage to the Babolat Pure Aero, featuring a new layup of 90% graphite and 10% fibreglass. Price at $100 less than the retail Pure Aero 100, the Carve 100 seems compelling, but is it a rip off?

      I’d be curious of his thoughts on the 2021 Prince phantom graphite 97 315 (gloss black). I’ve had every graphite and this is the true successor to the original graphite. Only available in Japan but can obtain on ebay.

      @@jarvis3948 I've tried the last few gen's of Phantom, including the new Camo one and an unreleased JDM one... they really don't work for me. I like the older 93s the most (fun factor is high) but I see very little reason to use a beam that thin and a stiffness than low in larger headsizes.

    Noticed the two skips on stringing instructions. I’d much prefer an origin string density. Shame the Rafa you like only comes in the 2019 style spacing.
    I was hoping this carve was exactly what I’ve been looking for.

      yeah I thought it might be a bit launchy as well but I'm not having issues with the super open pattern these days. Would be nice to get the durability of a tighter pattern though. My guess is that aren't doing bespoke grommets so they can't adjust the spacing.

    How about Dunlop FX500? From the specs it seems to be a light version of Babolat RAFA Origin thats only need a customization to reach out same balance and SW.

      I like the FX500 but I don't think it plays quite like the Rafa. Not quite as whippy but definitely more stable

    do you think polytour fire and Weiss Cannon Ultra cable would be a good hybrid Im gonna try it in my 100D. Im also curious about substituting sync for polytour fire as the cross string.

    • @TennCom
      @TennCom  6 дней назад

      I recently used PTF as a cross for Wasabi and did not like it. It works well for snapback but it shortens the dwelltime a lot which I didn't love. UC I'm not a fan either because it's too sharp. If you just want spin, the combo makes sense, but all around playability and control, which I think are critical to get the most from the 100D, I don't love from those strings.

  • @soyerplumpton
    @soyerplumpton 7 дней назад

    do you recommend stringing your crosses lower? do you find it to help with spin

      No (but I don't recommend against it either) and no.

      I think it's worse. There's not much there to dampen the vibrations and the feel is still pretty stiff.

      It's similar but again I think not quite as stable. The string pattern on these is also more open (PA 2016/2019 drill pattern)
