    • @outcometechnology
      @outcometechnology 17 днів тому

      Not every racquet. There are still a select few that are raw/connected. The closest from a mainstream brand would probably be the Wilson Ultra Pro v4 18x20 (97", 20.6mm beam, probably the most raw/connected retail layup out there), but it's 15g heavier static and needs further customization to bring swing weight up a bit. Possibly the ProKennex Ki Q+ Tour (98", 20.5mm, 16x19 but centrally dense), if you don't mind a 98" head and the mass-shifting tech doesn't bother you. If you were willing to go with a boutique/direct-to-consumer brand, you could potentially get even closer with an Angell React Custom RC Pro at the 295g/320mm spec (96", 21-22mm beam, 18x20). Hope that helps.

  • @jontip
    @jontip 18 днів тому

    As mentioned by another commenter, I completely agree with you about the Boom MP '24, a fabulous and powerful racket with just enough control for players who kid themselves that they can handle 95-98sq control rackets (myself included)! Like you, I find it best to add weight at 10 and 2/widest part of the racket (1g each), taking it to 322sw, and a little weight in the handle to bring the balance to 32.4cm + 325g static weight (I'd probably add a little more tailweight for a one-hander). For my racket, this also brings the twist weight up to 13.4. Strings suit being strung a little tighter imo, so I've used Poly Tour Pro @ 55lbs and Lynx Tour @ 53lbs, both are outstanding. Honourable mentions must go to the Pure Strike 100 16x19, surprisingly controlled, I consider it a more attacking version of the Speed MP '24. Also, the Prince ATS 100P, is probably the most accessible and inherently HL 18x20 I've played with. Lastly, keep your eye out for the Head Radical MP '18x20' version that is about to go on limited release in Europe, I suspect this will be a strong contender in this racket category.

    • @tenniseuphoria5012
      @tenniseuphoria5012 18 днів тому

      Yes! Some adjustment might be required, but they are stable enough. These are all good for customisation too which can help with volley punch and put away power. They are fast through the air in the main.

    • @goldencalf5144
      @goldencalf5144 17 днів тому

      You can always add weight to the frame. But I think your biggest problem might be controlling the power on your groundstrokes. You'll need to hit with plenty of topspin to ensure the ball stays in. The temptation will be to abbreviate your strokes to stop the ball from flying. At least, this is what happened to me when I tried switching to a Pure Drive from a Pro Staff. I ended up switching back

      Not straight forward this one, no - one that has been through matching in 2024 with a one hand back hand have ended up with a 100 sq inch frame. But that is not to suggest that these cant be hit with a OHB, or that a 100 sq inch of this type could not suit a OHB. It is more indicative of the individual people who have been through with year with OHB's being matched to different categories.

  • @tamagonbagel6569
    @tamagonbagel6569 19 днів тому

    When you say someone might fit into this category if they're playing with a power racquet but lack control, does that mean they struggle to hit targets in your tests? And if a control player struggles with power, do you test that by measuring speed or depth? I'm kind of always questioning whether I'm leaving something on the table by not just adapting to a power racquet.

    • @tenniseuphoria5012
      @tenniseuphoria5012 18 днів тому

      @jontip 18 днів тому

      Please can you let me know what difference there is between these types of frames from a user perspective? I assume that constant beams have more consistent flex profiles which might benefit flatter hitters that rely on 'weight of shot' rather than topspin to keep the ball in the court.

    • @brandomaxwell
      @brandomaxwell 18 днів тому

      @@jontip, your assumption is correct, and well stated too. Constant beams also provide less power than a variable of similar profile. So the 21/23/21mm Pure Strike 100 offers a bit more power than the 23mm Speed MP, and a lot more than, say, the 22mm Blade 100v9. The consistent flex profile you referred to adds a more consistent stringbed, especially on off-center hits. This is why most pros prefer it; except if you're an Alcaraz who rarely hits outside of the sweetspot.

    I started to use the Percept 100 about 2 weeks ago. I have used an Ezone 98 for the last 2 years so it was always going to take a lot for me to consider a switch to a new frame, but just felt I could do with a little more control as sometimes the power / my technique would send it long with the Ezone. Apart from that I have loved the Ezone 98 and had no complaints at all with it. After only about 10 hours of play I decided to use the Percept in my next match, having my Ezone in the bag in case I had made a terrible mistake! Just to note this is first ever 100 inch frame so was slightly worried that I was making a backwards step. The Percept was amazing though and not once was I tempted to take the Ezone out of the bag. I certainly felt I had more control; my serves were more accurate. I hit more aces than I have ever hit in a match, just through placement rather than power / speed. I felt I could hit the angles with confidence and although I still sent a couple long (as we all do) as long as I got the top spin right the majority of deep shots fell in the court and I would say my error rate was a good 50% better for deep shots. I still think the Ezone has more power overall, but the Percept 100 frame is not lacking in power, and I had it strung at 50lbs to give me any power I was missing from the 98 inch frame. Also it’s a 16 / 19 pattern so I didn’t feel as if I lost any spin as top spin is a big part of my game. Still early days, but at the moment I cant see me moving back to the Ezone, so feels like my first major change in racket since the Ezone was released two years ago!!!
