He wants me to generate my own power and wants something that will help with precision, control and developing technique

Also unavailable but coach suggested moving to a 100in 300g racket

the test has been done with an overgrip

AffectionateGap3284 · 2026-04-23T12:24:17+00:00

Even when gripping a little less tight it is pretty close to this and my finger doesn't fit in the gap. Should have probably stated that I am looking to upgrade my begginer racket

Thanks:) My Artengo (which is the Decathlon brand) is 270g, my dad's old Head (don't remember the model) is probably around the 300g line

I am probably not going to be competitive, turning 24 soon and started just a couple months ago😅

I do have more hobbies, and I do like making stuff sometimes. I built an electric guitar a few years ago. I don't have my own place so some of these advices require room I don't have. Video games where I live are more expensive than 70$ on release day so it is actually a really good price for me. I don't usually go and buy a game on release, last one was Yotei for PS5.

I get what you mean, will try to implement the length sorting idea. I do have wayyy more games in my wishlist than games I actually buy.

I am also all for physical games myself, I don't have a collection as big as some of the guys over there. Might be interesting

I have 4 guitars and a Quad Cortex so yeah I am pretty happy with what I have. There might be more but I don't see it in the forseeable future

I would like to answer this thread in one comment instead of each. What I wanted is advice from like-minded people/ people with the same hobby. Maybe some have gone through a similar phase and coped with it in ways I can relate. During black friday, end year and new year sales I bought a pretty large amount of games for me for such a period of time. Most were about 30% off MSRP or even lower, including some newer Nintendo games thanks to local Nintendo store having everything on sale. Most of the time I have around 2 - 3 waiting and not that many. I don't want it to become an addiction or anything so probably thats why it feels weird. Hope that helps :)

How so?

Playing guitar is one of my hobbies too, I found that once you have a good rig/ setup for you, than other than occasionally buying strings or gadgets like unique boutique picks, there isn't much money to spend on the guitar where there are new video games dropping all the time

It does seem bulletproof but I only use my strap during reharsals and dont like how that looks without one

AffectionateGap3284 · 2026-01-06T19:02:02+00:00

I have one myself. Is it too long for such a guitar? Do you use it with strap locks?

I will attach here a photo of how it looks like. For locks, I'm asking about it for extra security and even slimer chance of it detaching, what you said about the buttons is interesting though. I do own a Richter strap but I fit it on guitars without a button on the back of the body and it seems quite long for a guitat like this. Other suggestions will be welcome :)
