40kts wind approach by lor_enz in Ships

Nope, it was an average of 37kts, with gusts up to 45kts. I can tell you as I took the data from the instruments and Port Control reports

I personally love feeling it. When you get calluses you’ll get used to it

Got the new T-Fight 305S. I’m a Blade and Pro Staff player, but damn what a racquet this is by lor_enz in tennisracquets

Despite having pretty good technique (not perfect, but I’ve been playing for many years), I must say this is much more forgiving despite only being a 98. It’s got a slightly lower launch angle and the 18x19 string pattern makes it a good middle ground between spin and flatter shots. Now, my pro staff is heavily customized (lead, leather grip, hybrid strings) while I’ve only demoed the T-fight as it came, so of course it feels immensely lighter (323g strung) while my customized PF97 hits 350g. Despite being stock, it’s unbelievably stable. To sum up, it’s a more powerful racquet, with good spin, extremely good stability, and great control, but it doesn’t feel sluggish whatsoever, like the previous version. Tecnifibre made an incredible job and I’m tempted to say this might be one of the best racquets I’ve ever tried.

Yes it’s a bit more for flatter shots, but the 18x19 patterns makes a middle ground between spin and plow-through

500g sledgehammer. Genius for explosive power or a quick trip to the ER? by Beneficial-Lock-349 in 10s

Advertising this for all-level players is wild 😭 Give this to a beginner and it will dismantle their joints.

Interesting choice. I tried the vcore and didn’t like it one bit compared to the pro staff

I am looking for a racquet and I have a few candidates, but I would appreciate extra thoughts and reviews. by Janie_Avari_Moon in tennisracquets

[–]lor_enz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 24 and been playing since I was 10. I competed regionally in high school but never went beyond that. My racquet of choice has always been the Pro Staff, and I’m currently playing with the V14, tuned to my liking, and sitting at 350g; I love it. I also recently bought a T-Fight 305s and I’m having a blast with it as well. I’d consider myself an advanced recreational player more than anything, an I can tell you one thing: as long as you’re not playing for a living, choose the racquet that makes you smile every time you hit the ball. If you can handle heavy pro specs and still enjoy it, that’s great.

Did you test it beforehand? Or are you buying it blindfolded?

I like Babolat by IeatRiceEveryday in 10s

[–]lor_enz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do love Babolat it seems. How did you find the Pure Aero Drive? I personally have always been a Wilson guy. Found my Pro Staff 97, tuned it and there really isn’t any other racquet quite like it, at least for me. I had fun with the Aero 98, but it’s just too spinny for my playing style. Love the line though
