@@mcmastermouss 100 is more forgiving, softer with more spin. 100 is not anemic, quite similar power level between the 100 and 100D. 100 is still predictable. 100d has better penetration. 100 is better on defense

@@dandan.tennis ok thanks a lot ! Yeah, the 100D sounded too demanding for me. I'd like to move away from my pure drive for something more controlled but still forgiving and versatile. Blade 100 wasn't spin friendly enough, I'll demo the speed Mp alongside the percept 100. Heard both played quite similar.

I am trying man 🍻

Sure! Prestige mp-L less power, more forgiving, more spin. Similar stability. TF40 much more connected with the ball (prestige is a bit too muted for my liking but the comfort is superb) . Control is quite similar but i would say TF40 due to better touch has better control. However due to more spin and forgiveness and less power from prestige mp - L this can be very subjective from hands to hands. I think in stock form i would prefer the tf40. With small mods prestige mp - L sounds a bit more exciting to me. I prefer tf40 315 over tf40 305.

Thanks ! Actually i have been playing with the tf40 for one year now and I love the feel and touch of this racquet ! The only downside is that i am not a strong guy and i find the tf40 difficult to manipulate on serves and when i am tired, getting often late on my shots. I play my better tennis with these classic flexy control racquets since my strokes are long and well executed, but in the same time they are generally too heavy and clunky for my physical abilities. Do you think I should demo the prestige mpl (or any other racquet) in that regards ? Thank you again !

@@bibou929 so i think we have similar preference and playstyle (technique) . I really liked prestige MP (18x19) - its helping more than the tf40. Also diadem Elevate tour is nice, yonex Percept 97 (but its pretty mich tf40 alternative) , speed pro , blade 16x19, Maybe Babolat pure aero 98 but havent played it.

@@muriloejunior vcore. Ezone is for the attackers.

@@dandan.tennis Honestly, I have both rackets and I think the opposite. Vcore is more powerful, less forgiving and suited to being more agressive. Ezone has a more consistent response, softer feel and suits a more defensive player. However, both my rackets are original first iternation models, around 10 years old so maybe they're different than the one's on sale today.

Could be it. Over the years Yonex really pushed the ezone family towards „power” category of racquets while vcore got a bit softer and more spinny. I miss yonex Dr. This one is much stiffer. Totally different response. Vcore series is now closer to the ezone dr from like 10 years ago.

@@dandan.tennis Yeah, I'm a grinder and my best rackets have been the Aeropro Drive GT 100sq and the Ezone 100sq , both 300g rackets. But I'm referencing 8-15 years ago when I played more regularly/competitively.

@@Nikhil_G9 those are asics resolution (clay) and Nike Gp Turbo (hard courts). Sinner is using Nike. Used to be zoom zero, now Gp family . Highly recommended 💪 good eye!

I hope to see them release something close to speed pro / gravity pro. Maybe 18x19 pattern 💪 foam filled. One more racquet with nice power/control/spin/forgiveness balance 🎉 What would be your wish ? :)

I no longer feel it in Tecnifibre frames. It was an issue with RS line. Didnt notice it in the ISO or TF40. Regarding customization ye, i think its a platform racquet. Very similar to Percept 97. Something between +4g. Maybe + 6g max. In some cases leather will be everything thats needed

@@thebeat Poland. Its already in Europe. I guess it will take up to few more weeks for the US/Canada release

How's it playing? Just demoing the 290 and 305 18/20. I'm keen to demo this next

In that case Ezone 100 sounds like your next stick :) most powerful and stable 300g stick I ever tried.

@@dandan.tennis thanks for the reply, looking forward to your videos when you find time 🙂

Sure. I tested ezone 100 and still have Iga tempo. Tempo is much faster with better touch. Ezone much more forgiving, stable and easy to use. But also slightly more bulky in feel. Ezone is more fun. Tempo more control. Depends what you r looking for :)

​@@dandan.tennis I exactly don't know what I want I am using currently blade 100 and I feel like I want more power as whatever shot I hit my opponent is able to reach it so I want a racquet that will help me to hit shots that my opponent shouldn't be able to reach( I need little feedback from racquet, I don't want it to be dead racquet with no feedback)

i will keep that in mind. I need to speed up my tournament of racquets so this will take some time. Tempo is a keeper, my wife is using it so sooner or later i might be able to drop some kind of short review. TEMPO IGA CAN REALLY SPIN THE BALL LIKE CRAZY

Thanks, I am doing this for you 😅 Ye i like to think that Elevate tour is similar to prestige tour as well but its not. Elevate is more forgiving and more spin friendly, more power as well.

More power is surprising, but I trust your take. A candidate for your racquet tourney?

@@brandomaxwell yap! first round - radical pro!

BTW, do Diadem racquets have a removable buttcap?

@@brandomaxwell yap

True. But for a „powerful” frame I was expecting actually a bit more power. Something was missing here. Feel !

So far the best were tecnifibre razor code white 1.25 and toroline k-pop. I will try tour bite soft or regular 1.25. I imagine this could work good too.

@@hobonickel840 wasabi x in the crosses i would say

@@hobonickel840 i would say it should actually feel stiffer because you are taking away some of its initial „springiness” but you are getting better tension maintenance because there is No „initial drop” which comes after a few first sessions and in some cases after the first training

@@leventeyuboglu4501 Thanks! Haha you are another person mentioning it. However it was different opponent 😅 Tennisnerds everywhere !

Thanks for sharing! Have you tried k-pop by any chance ? :)

@@Eshanemmas i am in the middle of my tennis racquet search :)

In terms of feel and control - gravity pro 100 %. In terms of user friendliness - percept 100D (easier to perform well with). Gravity Pro requires strong core to really play efficiently with it. Once you figure it out it could be the best racquet out there but the entry point is I would say crazy high for a regular “weekend” player. Prestige Pro is imo actually easier to play with but Gravity is more fun + with probably bigger potential for competitive play. 100D is just safer but no “magic”. Still trying to figure out the setup that would work best for me but I am getting there with every session!

@@dandan.tennis Thanks for the answer. I'm thinking about changing my 97D for one of the two I mentioned, because I hit my backhand with both hands and I wanted a bigger Sweet spot. I have a flatter beat too. Which would you recommend?

@@nutrifelipenoronha gravity pro

@@canalcarolema Thank you for the question. I consider myself a flathitter as well but for some reason i played better with 16x19 (better serves and on defense). I like it think that 18x20 is Del Potro and 16x19 is Murray (who btw used to play with a 18x20 prestige before going to 16x19 prestige). That being said tc line is a bit heavier in swing weight in general so make sure to request a lower number. I would say tc95 needs sw more than tc100. If you go tc95 then the lowest i went was 293 unstrung and it was Ok. 18x20 accordingly will have a slightly higher sw because of more strings. I think that if you enjoy pro staff then you should be fine with the 16x19 tc95 you might have to increase the tension and/or string gauge. Racquet will be softer anyway so you can allow yourself to do it imo. Also 16x19 are more comfortable. Even tour bite felt like a butter to me :) i also liked firestorm 1.30 at 24/23kg. Played very control oriented, spin friendly and comfortable. For an eastern forehand maybe i would normally think about 18x20 a bit more but Hey! Federer also had a more traditional grip and he was spinning like crazy.

I've played extensively both the 16x19 and 18x20 patterns in the TC95, the 18x20 TC97, and the TC100 (16x19). I too am flat hitter with Easten grips and OHBH I would say the pick of the bunch are the TC95 16x19 and the TC97 18x20, depending on what you're after. - The TC100 is a canon with the highest launch angle I've ever experienced, and I was breaking stings like crazy - definitely not suited to my game. - The TC95 18x20 is a nice frame, but it's a bit odd to have such a flexible frame (60 RA once strung) with a super dense string pattern that firms up the string bed. I'm not exactly sure what it's trying to be. - The TC 95 16x19 is powerful, fast, and has a lot of plow. If one is looking for a powerful package in a fast and comfortable frame, it's an excellent choice. Two caveats: the launch angle, while not as extreme as the TC100, is still very high, and it really needs weight (310g minimum, 320g probably better) for stability. I would definitely pair it with a round string with equal tension in the mains and crosses to control the launch angle. 4G Soft is my string of choice in that frame - The TC97 18x20 has a much more direct feel than either TC95's, owing to a slightly higher RA (63 strung) and different beam contruction (box beam vs. D shape for TC95). It feels stiffer especially in the throat and the shoulders, so I felt more connected to the ball. Not as powerful as the TC95 16x19, but much better control and a ball that goes through the court. Great for slices. In this frame, I would recommend an aggressively shaped poly (Hyper G, Lynx Tour) in 1.20 / 1.25mm with 1kg more in the mains than in the crosses to get a bit more clearance above the net Being a flat hitter coming from a PS97, my guess is that you will feel more at home with the TC97, with its direct feel and box beam.

@@johnnyguitar6697 Thanks for sharing. I agree with everything you said. However you might wanna try tourna silver 7 tour 1.30 in the 16x19 tc95 or even tc100. This one was the most control/spin oriented setup i found but it is on the edge of being uncomfortable and made the sweet spot slightly smaller. Not my prefered setup during winter but it was my nr1 pick playing under pressure and without much preparation it will deliver every time.

@@johnnyguitar6697 Thank you so much for your answer and time expended to me. My only doubt about the tc95 is the high launch angle, because i like racquets that have low lauch angle, my balls always pass near the net and i like to play this way! =)

@@canalcarolema My pleasure. In this case, I think the TC97 18x20 with the right string set up would be the way to go. Also remember to not string it too high, as the dense 18x20 pattern will make it feel boardy at high tensions. I'd go to 21kg max with the polys I mentioned previously. Don't hesitate to post again under this thread if you want more information, I'll be happy to help.

@@hobonickel840 well from hybrids obviously i am thinking k-pop since Karue is grinding out the pro tour with it :p so it is ATP level approved. I can confirm it is a spin/control oriented hybrid. Maybe not the softest but performs great. If you want a softer setup then i also enjoyed super toro/enso pro from toroline. Also tecnifibre razor soft 1.25/1.20 hybrid is an interesting option However a bit lively. The softest hybrid that still performs as a spin/control option is mayami big spin/tour hex that i really liked

@@dandan.tennis thank you so much .. I didn't know he went back to the percept after the cracking concerns .. I appreciate it!!

@@hobonickel840 yap. Big spin main / tour hex crosses. In Percept 100D without mods I would go 22/21 kg

@@jessetaylor6976 im not sure i want something „super-lively”. I am pretty sure i will try 1.25 firestorm :) i love firestorm in general. 1.30 is great too but suits certain racquets better

@@dandan.tennis more power, and bite if that’s what you’re after…it definitely opens the string bed significantly. It’s a stiff string so not a lot of trampoline effect anyway. Only sacrifice is longevity and a little stability, so if you have a string machine, it’s a no brainer for me. Personally I can’t go back to think gauges now…def worth a try!

@@agradina i totally understand what you are saying. It is such a cool, unique racquet. It fills the gap between a blade and speed pro for me. And I have the same , coming from a heavier, more headlight racquet as my main it is quite challenging to shift. I figured out it plays best in stock form for me and I tried all the possible setups 😅 but im not sure that i want to play it with such balance point. Adding weight to the handle made the frame feel a bit disconnected and less stable. At least in my case. Tecnifibre are maybe not the best when it comes to quality control however most of the time I was lucky with the specs. TF40 315 are often a bit under and tfight 305 and Iga tempo are a bit above the listed specs (but pretty much within 3 grams)

@@brandomaxwell i think this could be with any shot being your weapon. If you attack, you dont have to defend. Tipsarevic also had this philosophy (selecting frame to underline your assets). I had this conversation with some coaches around and some said that it is actually better to just play better all around which of course makes sense as well especially on the „amateur” level. The bigger the level of the opponents the more it is important to actually have some weapons. Its also a great confidence booster to have some shots that can lower the pressure or shift the pressure towards opponent. Its interesting for sure and there is No better/worse here imo…

@@brandomaxwell Thanks! Any other frames are your tops that are missing in my draw ?

maybe...especially when we see Djokovic and Sinner being on the top. Alcaraz is mixing it a little as an aggresive attacker and shotmaker. But is it bad? No. and some racquets brands are following the stats as well (imo)

Every prestige pro / gravity pro / radical mp / speed pro user will like it imo

Finally, some detailed review about Prestige MP! I have played with it for 3 months already and I am very satisfied. Previously used Prestige Tour, Gravity MP but I always lacked control and couldn't properly point my shots where I want them to go.. so I switched from 16x19 and 16x20 to this one and really enjoy it so far

@@dimitarmollov4650 nice :) any mods ? What strings are you using ? Ye I think it’s Head’s hidden gem really. Most tennisnerds imo will enjoy this racquet. Will it be a switch it depends but its a very fun to play racquet for sure !

@dandan.tennis I currently stringed it with Wilson Power (natural gut) and Head Multifillament (MLT) at 24/23kg. I have had some elbow issues since January when I played with the Gravity MP, so I decided to go for natural guts. I am very surprised of this combination so far (power + lack of pain + control). The one thing my trainer says I need to focus on is the top-spin.. my shots are a bit flat. Except for the Gravity MP (2023) and Prestige Tour (2021), I also have Extreme Tour (2022), Speed Pro (2024) and about 7-8 other Heads :))) older than 2015.. so after playing for 3 years until now, I can definitely say the Prestige MP offers the best combination between power/control/slice/.. Hopefully I will add topspin to it :) I am right handed and got one-handed backhand

I no longer have tc95. But MP is definitely bigger. A bit more „rounded” . Tc95 is more oval in shape with „sharper” cuts. Almost like comparing tc95 to speed pro.

@@dandan.tennis prestige always looked oval to me like egg. I thought tc95 was round

@@mteca5093 nope. TF40 looks quite similar to TC95 while being a 98" headsize. It is juuuust tiny bit bigger but shape and the overall vibe is similar. Performance is different though. TF40 more control, less spin

@dandan.tennis I have hard time with yonex shape n oval shapes like blade 98...I played best with rounder head shapes... can you measure the Prestige 95 length n width from inside the frame??? Tnxxx

I just got measurements from my aero 98 and tc95 with surprising outcome .... TC95 IS 5mm longer then aero98 BUT same width...tc95 327mm x 245mm...aero98 322mm x 245mm

@@philippd.4570 its a goodie for sure :)

@@oneshadeoff9440 what you didnt like about the radical mp ? Yonex ezone 100 will feel „heavier” than the radical mp. Vcore 100 is more spin friendly and more comfortable. Percept 100 is the most consistent with best feel. On the other hand Murray switched to ezone 100 so there is some inspiration behind this potential pick. Personally I would probably go vcore 100. Fun stick to play with💪

@@dandan.tennis is vcore more aerodynamic, like a blade. Since the blade doesn't feel like 320 grams.

Why do you play with such demanding racket? What's the point?​@@dandan.tennis

@@cekinekshn smaller headsizes give more control and are good on flatter playstyles (Del Potro, Djokovic, Murray, Medvedev). Sense of the racquet in the hand is improved (you have better connection with the ball). So in my case - i play better backhands and dont do as many mistakes on forehands. I think first serves are also better. Slightly worse on returns, volleys and on defense but as a grinder i am usually good at running around the court 💪 but lets see how far it will go in my tournament of racquets! :)

@@dandan.tennis yes I all know that but this type of racket doesn't give you anything for free. Have you played with it against some heavy hitters in a real match? Not baseline practice when you hit through the middle. I mean, I watched your videos and your shots are far from being flat. You play with topspin. Especially on forehand Thicker beam and 100sq inch frame will you just more. Also, a stiffer frame not butter soft like prestige. If Alcaraz or Sinner can play with modern 98 and modern 100 then we also can. And we should be able to control it. Prestige is for old school heavy hitters. And even they sometime move to Babolat Pure Drive because it just gives so much more for free. Andy Murray moved from old Head PT57A to modern tweener racket Ezone 100 (not even pro stock Ezone).

@@cekinekshn Andy Murray didnt improve his results so his switch for now is more like a fun-fact rather than a direction to follow. (Before this tournament of racquets my main frame was a 95” anyway). Despite me hitting higher above the net (i agree with your observation) my visualisation of the strokes is more through the ball and its a bit easier with 95”. With 100” i start hitting out Unless its a gravity or speed or Percept. 98 is a happy sweet spot and I do enjoy many frames that are 98. Btw prestige tour (95) is more forgiving than a prestige pro (98). This is not my final pick but we will find out soon how far i can go with it. Being competitive is my main goal so of course maybe i will lack something with a more demanding frame. Usually its a balance of many things. I dont have to hit very hard. I must be consistent and smart with ball placement first. What are your top 3 frames? :)

Thanks for sharing your view. Have you tried tour bite ? Confidential is nice but tour bite might offer more spin. Tour bite soft has less „magic”. At the moment my setup is more HL with the leather grip i guess its a preference .

Yes I also have tour bite but haven't tried it on this racket, I find tour bite little boardy and not enough feel in full bed. Weight on the handle increase stability but also the power dramatically I think control is what lacking here. I go head light or head heavy depending on the racket as long as its not in between :))

Btw confidential 1.20 has significantly more spin than tour b 1.25 and lots more feel to help with your accuracy imo... :)
