Wilson 2020 ProStaff 97 or the RF97? | Racquet Review
follow Instagram @tom_o_thy
Hey guys, i'm testing out the new 2020 wilson prostaff 97 the 315 gram model. I'm comparing it to the RF97 the heavier version at 340 grams. My choice would be the 315 gram 97. I'd put a leather grip which would add about 8 grams to the handle as well as 2 grams of lead tape under the bumper guard. it has a very fast swing weight so I wouldn't be scared of the 11.1 oz weight spec.

How to Hit a forehand with an Eastern grip. Tennis Tips
Переглядів 38 тис.5 років тому
The "old school" eastern forehand is appearing once again on tour! It is a easy forehand to start with and it develops nicely into more modern forehand variations like Tsitsipas and federer. It also minimizes the risk for a new player to develop an extreme western forehand which can cause problems down the road. Here are some tips to get you started in the right direction. I hope this helps!

You're a brilliant teacher! Thank you so so much... My forehand is a lot better now!
@@livinglogically8180 Thanks for the kind words!
“Hold off the rotation”!!👍
Solid shots
Tension? Racket size?
Hey Tommy! Hope all is well! Great vids and tips! Hopefully we'll see you make a return to YT this year!
Thanks coach, this video is very helpful
You are a very good teacher. I see where lots of my unforced errors are. Thank you.
wow this is incredibly good ball striking, i hope we see more from your channel soon!
Its a really good fh but you dont draw the racquet with your elbow like most atp pros. Your thoughts on that?
Excellent
Eastern Forehand is great on the elbow and shoulder…and against most folks flat and sharp will be effective
Over 2 years old and somehow popped up on my feed 😂. My favorite string btw, this and Confidential.
These tips have really helped my consistency, getting more spin on the ball and my tennis buddies have said my weight of shot is a lot heavier! I understand you have Injury at the moment so hope your recovery is going well my guy. I'm still struggling with higher put away balls so I find I'm having to leave them drop (giving my opponent time to recover) would love to know your swing thoughts on this topic?
Very helpful 👍
You mean continental grip for slice but Eastern backhand grip for topspin. To hit a topspin backhand with a Continental grip is a sure way to get tennis elbow.
Best forehand technique ever
Amazing video, finally someone really emphasizing on the wrist action
The Budge and Trabert variations on the Eastern backhand grip allow for a bent elbow and less youth and power. If you're over 40 don't even think about learning the one handed topspin ATP backhand.
v13 340g vs v1- also 340g weigh different when strung and grip is added. ?normal
This is the way EVERY rec player should hit their forehand. A modest roll. Forget heavy topspin. Your doubles partner will thankyou for keeping the ball in play. You wanna go heavy topspin? Then you're gonna have to hire your lawncare cuz you'll be busy doing groundstroke drills.
Hey i hear korean "아빠 왜 안뛰어~"
What Spec of racket your useing in the clip
How can I Play Back Hand with Use fore hand easten grip not chang grip
You can’t take your right hand and grip at 12 o’clock and your left hand gripes the at 9 o’clock(which is the eastern grip for the left hand step into shot with straight arms and finish like your paddling so down lower on back swing and up and finish over your right shoulder
Thank you for the "forward before you come around!"
Do you like prostaff 315, blade 16x19 or blade 18x20? Wich one is powerfull and easier? If you say blade, v7 or v8? Thanks man!
simple and effective. Thats how players in the 1960s and 1970s hit their forehand. 👍👍
What is countervail
Great video!
That was a great review for people who actually play tennis. You mentioned that the rf would be fine for ppl who have slower swings. I play with simple strokes like Jimmy Connors. I am 3.5 with 30 years of playing. Would you recommend the rf for my game? Thank you.
Imo, I would try the 97 first. 300-315 gram racquets
The RF is very heavy but if you can handle it it is a great racket with lots of power and still good control, I am myself a user of the PS97, the one that is 11.7 ounces strung and it is PERFECT for me .
I watched Tommy's review again. I am one of those ppl who fall into the category of having a slower but smooth swing. In all honesty, I love the 2017 version of the rf racquet which I just bought for 200 can. It is the best racquet that I have played with in my entire 30 years of on again off again recreational tennis which includes the steffi graf ps. I normally hit flatter balls and use granny sticks to take advantage of the equipment and deploy MEP strategies during match play but with the rf model, it brought out all my top spin potential which I had inconsistencies with using other racquets of various thicknesses. I really felt like fed especially on the single handed bh side which this review clearly shows unlike other reviwes which have 2hbh reviewers. I would like to add that I am a physically weaker than average player so the heft of the racquet was a advantage and allowed me to plough through big balls from taller and stronger opponents which my vcore couldn't. I could hold my own while being pinned in the bh corner while my opp ran around his fh, and go from def to off. I did feel sore from using it but i got used to it. My 2017 model weighs about 370 g with old xone strings. Amazing ball pocketing too...
Que bien que le pegás.. saludo desde Argentina.
Excellent recommendation about the hand-racquet not at your side but feel it in front of your shoulders/chest
Hi can i know what string you used ?
Solinco tourbite is what I use.
@@tommybreakpoint1044 Thanks man
How do you get a deep racquet drop? Any tips on that?
No more blade ?
Struggling a bit to get the timing and power right specially when going cross court. Any tips for this mate
You are good mate
brilliant video, thank you!
Show the grip in better light
Definitely need this when playing against folks hitting high against our one hander backhands. Seems difficult at first but closing the racket and brushing high really gets good depth on the ball.
An oil painting of a backhand. Good stuff Tommy B
Great video
Where did you end up putting the lead? 12 or 10&2? I'm currently playing around with the lead in mine.
Around 10&2 under the grommet.
@@tommybreakpoint1044 Lead tape at 10&2 - to move sweetspot up? I've heard prostaff's sweetspot is slightly below center.
@@user-yt7ss2py4w yeah and to have the racquet go through the ball a bit better. I only use 2g total
@@tommybreakpoint1044 I added a Leather grip, do you advice to add 2gr to 2 and 10 too?
Did u make the switch ti the 97 v13 or kept the rf?
I switched to the 97 v13 with a little modification.
Nice video! Quick question, since you've had all the generations of these...what's the main differences between the pro staff 97 v12 and v13? And the RF version too. I'd appreciate your insight as I'm about to purchase one
For the 97, the v13 keeps the ball in a lot better for me. Denser string layup seems to have helped. V12 feels softer which I wasn’t a big fan of as I prefer the older ones. If you looking for an alternative to v13, I’d go with the pre countervail versions. V10?
Thank you, this was really helpful.
<3 Pete Sampras.
Nice review. How does the rf97 compare to fed’s ncode six one 90??
I played with the 2012 pro staff 90. I think the Rf97 is stiffer harder to control. The regular 97 with weight would play closer to the 90 in my opinion.
Just got my RF97 yesterday and its a lot stiffer than ncode90. I think you’re right about more power with regular 11.4oz version
Do you use the eastern fh grip?
it's around the eastern to semi western range.
Why did you stop
I got a nerve injury in December last year. Haven’t been able to move much but Im starting to be able to hit some again.
@@tommybreakpoint1044 Is it really bad? Hope you get better because I enjoy your tennis.
@@saulgoodman7215 it was bad but it's a lot better now. Thank you!
I agree with your concept .
