    Hey, glad you're back. Would you know how the gravity pro compares to Wilson blade. I am a baseliner with Wilson blade/rpm blast and struggle with keeping the ball in sometimes. Would it be worth it to try the gravity pro or does it have even more power?

    • @andreysmirnov7461
      @andreysmirnov7461 3 місяці тому

      Okay, im gonna tell you hard truth playing both of these rackets. Wilson Blade IMO is the most overrated racket on the market. It has no distinct things that it does well. It does nothing well. Now, playing with RPM blast in 2024 you are compromising yourself. Try Gravity Pro, ditch RPM Blast for Poly Tour Rev or Pro. String at 53lbs same tension both ways.

    Андрей, классное видео, нужно взять на вооружение для доработки удара слева. Хотел спросить про ракетку: видел, у вас раньше была Yonex vcore pro 97, 16*19. Как она в сравнении с текущим Head gravity pro? У меня такой же yonex, как у вас был + есть yonex vcore 95 (предпоследняя версия). Хочу две одинаковые ракетки - вот хочу выбрать. Vcore pro иногда кажется чересчур мягким, хотя мне в целом нравится - локти не болят, как было когда - то с aero pro drive и pure drive от Babolat. Ещё были у меня head gravity tour, первой версии - вот они очень нравились, и мягкостью, и контролем, и более низкой траекторией полёта мяча (кажется, из-за изьяна техники у меня он летит высоковато над сеткой - формула 18*20 более приземляла полет что ли). Ещё рассматриваю новые yonex percept или 16*19 в пару к текущей vcore pro, либо 18*20 percept 97d, но она уже 320 г. (давно не играл такими - с bekker delta core melbourne). Много всего понаписал, буду признателен, если поделитесь опытом и советом.

    • @andreysmirnov7461
      @andreysmirnov7461 3 місяці тому

      Я поменял на Gravity Pro потому что для задней линии ракетки лучше просто нету, и контроль и мощность на высоте. При этом я был удивлен что при 18х20 есть еще и хорошее вращение если струна тонкая или с небольшой формой. Я думаю если есть проблемы с суставами то их эффективнее всего решать струнами а не ракеткой. Тоесть попытаться более мягкие струны найти
