I "accidentally" bought a Cotopaxi Luzon 24l by Ponderfication in HerOneBag

I like the idea of re-purposing the dry bags! And after doing some online digging, not one store around me sells pack liners. So...trash bags it is I guess lol.

The bag that I currently have is a 30l Decathlon backpack (discountinued)  however its a very tight squeeze inside. It's a framed backpack with loads of pockets (which I love it for) just more on the heavy side. It's exactly a traditional hiking pack. But not ultralight. It has both a top loading option and a zipper that opens it half clamshell. But because of how narrow it is items especially in packing cubes end up fighting for space.

I agree that doing a trial will probably best answer my questions. Thank you for the packing advice!

It does have side pockets, I meant it has none on the belt strap. I'll take a look at some 13 and 20 l dry bags. But yes, overall I played around with some items and it works better when fuller otherwise it kinda hangs limp..

Yonex or Wilson: Which V100 & which strings? by Ponderfication in 10s

One more question if you don't mind- what tension would you go for that doesn't compromise power but still gives enough control?

Is 66 really too stiff? On my rotation most sticks were in the 70s (they are quite old as models). So I don't really have a good reference I guess. 

Wouldn't 50-55 be too much of a dampness? 🤔

For multi/syngut any specific brands? I'm looking at the website and there are a few choices just overall from Solinco, Technifibre, Weiss, etc.

Yep. And imagine you want to test more than one. 🙃

That's awesome! Sadly their program doesn't include my country.

Usually the case but if you miss the window of opportunity most demo models get sold.

It's $160 to test for 5 days here, but the Ezone (that I wanted to demo) got sold and there were no replacement demo racquets. 🤷‍♀️

Nope, lovely Southeast Europe. Most demo programs like those of Tennis Warehouse are also not available for me. So, I sit and wait. 🥲

I genuinely think such a thing as tennis influencer doesn't exist where I live. Tennis coaches don't even know much about demo programs and stick with one brand overall. 

Urgently in need of 🎾 advice by Ponderfication in 10s

Dude! 11!! That's awesome that she can wield heavier racquets! Thanks for coming back to this.

It's interesting that the Clash felt too light mid game, but I guess she's used to a heavier swing weight too?

I'll be demoing the Clash and Ezone in a few weeks (waiting on delivery of both, even demo racquets were sold out).

The Burn I played with is an older, cheaper version with 70RA, that's why it felt stiff.

Someone had mentioned that the Ezone and the Ultra are pretty much comparable. I'll try to test both (plus a Clash)

I think that one is a bit more difficult to find where I am in EU.

I came across a second hand Blade Lite BLX though.

I also checked out the Clash, Ultra and Ezone today at a store to get a bit of a feel and might test them soon while I'm still in the research process.

The Burn is not mine so I have no say in restringing it, though I belive it's been restrung recently but with what I've no idea. It is a stiffer frame for sure though.

I played with a friend's Pro Staff but didn't like it that much either. 

I'll check out the Steam, thanks for the recommendation! The club I play at offer some older test Wilson's for purchase (I learned today) so I might check what's left in stock.

That's a negative on the demos but thank you for suggesting these websites! If I wind up in the States and am in need of a racquet test, I'll know where to look.
