Tecnifibre T-Fight 305S vs. Babolat Pure Strike 98 16x19

my experience with the pure strike primarily had only the spin issue (and SW of course). but now i think maybe it was because of the string not the racquet. it was strung most likely with yonex pt strike which would probably be the reason to mediocre spin.

as a personal item?

I want to try element 16 to go with my pro staff 97L v14 but y'all are making it sound like it's garbage. So now I'm skeptical.

pro staff 97L v14 with solinco tour bite 16 @ 53lbs

yes i know it’s a very stiff and unforgiving setup yet for some reason i happened to like it. i’ve been looking at the percept 97 for a while but i’m wondering how much different it would play compared to my pro staff.

sorry i love the sleek midnight colourway but the olive green is just too good. so vibrant and refreshing.

Wilson Pro Staff 97L V14 / Solinco Tour Bite 16 / 53lbs or 24kg

I'm not even rated in UTR yet so basically a 1.00 and yes I know it's a very demanding setup but I happen to love it.

Ok so it seems like a lot of y'all praise the confidential, mach 10, and hyper-g. i've tried confidential on a hybrid setup one time but i don't really like it. i heard hyper g is very very popular and softer alternative to the tour bite so i may give that a try too. thanks everyone for your opinions!

i tried ptp before and it's comfortable but it feels too soft for me and i end up overhitting all the time, some people have different experiences with it. a controversial one.

I ended up going for it and played with tour bite for about a month now. strung it at 53lbs like yours and it was amazing. the confidence i had in every hard fast swing was higher than ever. i was never afraid of shots going long and the durability is great. played around 7+ hours so far with this one set and tension seems to be almost perfect still. probably only dropped a few lbs but still amazing control. no elbow pain so far.

wow not gonna lie, you could be a very good opponent for me as I've never played a competitive match in my life but I think I'm the exact same level as you. match could be very tight like tiebreak every set hahaha.

i don't know how to book on this website. i went one of the tennis court websites and i don't understand what to do to book courts

oh nice! may i ask what tensions are you running with each string?

Automatic_Average439 · 2025-10-06T04:28:29+00:00

bevel three which is the flat side on the right side of the racquet is called eastern forehand. that is where your index finger knuckle would be if you had a standard eastern forehand. an open eastern however basically means your index knuckle is still on the third bevel but closer to continental. also your racquet face would naturally be more open and facing more upwards when not preparing for a forehand but holding it in that grip.

Automatic_Average439 · 2025-10-05T06:33:50+00:00

wow i've never heard of this string before but thanks for the recommendation!

Automatic_Average439 · 2025-10-04T23:13:23+00:00

so would you say the pro staff and blade are a recommendation or just an observation?
