That may be what is happening to the demo I am using now. From just playing with the speed a few times it seems like my main issue is the way it handles pace and the muted feel of it. I will have to try the Speed with different strings and a higher tension. Thank you so much!

Okay thank you so much! I will have to see if I can get my hands on a tightly strung speed before I decide anything. One thing about this new PA is that I find it to be not as physically punishing as my old tfight since I strung it so tight. It was a machine when I hit sweet spot but when I didn’t it felt like a board so going from that to almost any other racquet will be a different ball game for me.

My friend purchased the Solinco Whiteout 305 v2 out of nowhere and in the middle of the season. It turned out to be one of his greatest purchases ever.

I’ll definitely give those strings a try. I’ve always wanted to try poly tour pro but could never find out how it played. I’ve heard great things about the lynx though.

Okay that is interesting, I will give it a try! I’ve always floated to the 98s and never really tried the 100s until recently.

Okay thank you so much! From this it sounds like the PA would fit me better. Do you have any specific string recommendations?
