@@TennCom Delated my comment. Sorry I made it before you started. I use as always or will use next year as I was hurt falling down the bottom 2 stairs in August, the aluminum ProKennex Pro Ace Power Contour Jr 25 inch long version in both the later Chinese winter 2002/2003 to 2004 to model and the older 2001 to 2002/2003 Taiwan models. The 4 Taiwan models Red and Blue are my main model with the other 3 Chinese yellow and black for when I am tired as they are a smaller grip size for the Chinese models made with a 0 grip/4 inch handle and Taiwanese model is a 2 grip or 4 & 1/4 inch handle. Sure I could put more of the 1 inch wide hockey tape in 1/8 to 1/4 overlap with a little bit of waterproof glue on end I made the tape not sticky using my own thing few will like right on top the old base grip as the only issue with the grips other then the very end is the thin Vinyl layer was peeling off even on the 2 never used models that still had the original wrap on them. The older Taiwan version I always put some black rubber spray very carefully on a Paper towel then put on the very top of racquet covering the first Power Contour the r on head and then to the P covering that up so all models feel basically the same and this fixes in a test the balance of the model because the Chinese is more head heavy by a hair as the model uses a matte enamel/powdered coating that is meant for outdoor items so it is much thicker then the paint/wrap on the Taiwan model and the smaller grip causes the balance to be off. I use in most the original String but the newer string for the model the string broke during is Babolot Nylon gut 16 gauge in white as clear/translucent white is no longer made for Nylon string and I did 55 pounds but I will go down to 50 pounds on these models when I need a new sting becuse of the string tension on the one I got restrung being too tight to accommodate the fact most models of Aluminum seeing most models of aluminum asking for 40--50 pounds max and my model feels like a 45--40 pound string on the unused model that has original strings guessing that the factories ball parked the models. Of course I will keep the one at 55 pounds, the model is crap. I did get 16 gauge in nylon gut because my string originally was a smaller gauge of about 17--18 gauge depending on version or about this and with nylon gut I want my racquet string to last longer then what a Polyester setup would be in 17--18 gauge.
Aloha Beckett, Thanks again for inviting me to share my channel and gear with your viewers! I look forward to your excellent content in 2025!! Mele Kalikimaka & Hau'oli Makahiki Hou! 🤙
Just want to shoutout Kent from Open Court, I think he does really quality reviews. He mains a Speed Pro with Lynx Tour. But I’m very impressed with how many people you pulled for this. Great to bring the community together.
Its the Goat! Beckett!! Awesome video, hey what about the tennis spin guy i think his name is Harry. He puts his spin on your tennis. That would be cool to see yall collab.
That was really awesome bringing everyone together. With so many different racquets and strings it goes to show how much great stuff there is out there and how individual your gear is. No one size fits all, except maybe the Pure Strije 18/20. But I my set- up for 2024 was Ezone 100 with Solinco Confidential 18g. Merry Christmas to all.
Loved the video! Keep up the good work! Merry Christmas and happy holidays. I prollynused te TF40 305 the most this yeay but switched to ezone 98 v6 towards the end of the year and I loving it. PTP 1.25 at 22/21 kg Cheers :)
Great video, I was out of tennis for 10+ years and came back midway this year. Absolutely love the channel's contribution for rekindling my love and motivation to go out there and play tennis again. My fiance got into tennis this year too 😊
So glad you included Albert at AMstringing! But you missed Winston Du! In my opinion Winston's channel showcases amateur tennis at its finest. Also missed Intuitive Tennis, but I could see him declining to participate.
@tennisgod The pure strike 98 is not the stiffest 18x20 on the market. There are probably more but off the top of my head the dunlop cx 200 tour and wilson pro staff six one 95. Granted i’m talking about the current strike, if it’s an older one im not sure.
What a great crossover! Thanks for everything this year guys. You've converted me into a racket freak 😗As a beginner+/intermediate recreational player, this year I've been using the Babolat Pure Drive 100 2021 with Technifibre NRG2 on my strings. Now I'm getting convinced to switch to the Pure Strike 98 18x20 or the Pure Strike 100 16x20 (sorry Becket). Merry xmas and happy new year!
This was a great video and I can see why the algorithm recommended some of these channels before. I can’t say I remember seeing AM stringing before but love it from the small clip shown. It was also nice seeing a lot of the others I follow. Mostly used the Pure drive 100 2021, will keep using it, though I’ll take the old ncode 6.1 and 2004 APD for spins. Currently using Alu power rough mains and ghostwire crosses and love it. Cost and availability are making me look at confidential and lynx touch set up. We’ll see. Though I suddenly feel the urge to use a 98 18x20 Pure strike with Alu power at 60lbs, for some reason.
Amazing video. I’ve been with the 2021 vcore 98+ for a couple years now and used k-pop/k-pro for most of the year at 56/54 lbs. now I’ve switched to confidential/evolution at 54/53. Merry Christmas happy holidays and happy new year everyone!
Great Vid. Felt cozy, and I love geeky nuggets thrown in by Tennis God and AM Tennis. What about Intuitive Tennis and Tennis Spin? Thank you (and Simon and Ale) for all you do.
Great video, thank you. Played most of the year with PS 98 16x19 Gen 3 with Hyper G soft. Switched to Blade 100 with Restring hybrid in Sept. No plans to switch again anytime soon. Love to see Nik from Intuitive Tennis next year.👍🏻
My set: - Racquets: Babolat Pure Strike 98 16x19 (2019) - Weight: 305. But she has gained weight to 317g. - Strings: Volkl Cyclone 1.30 - Grip: L2 / Wilson Pro Confort It is a very good racket, very comfortable, it absorbs impacts very well. It has good spin and the "Cyclone" strings add more spin. But I'm going back to my previous racket: Wilson Pro Staff v13 (315g).
Used VCore 98 Tour this year. Mainly use a Diadem Solstice Power 16L @ 24.5 KG on the mains and Wilson Revolve 16 @ 25.5 KG. I did switch the Diadem with Toroline Super Toro, which is a 17 gauge, and switched to Revolve 17 along with that, same tensions. Both allow me to take full swings and not worry about going long. Love the control and spin I'm getting. I'm looking forward to trying the new version of Head Gravity 98. I'm an old Head Gravity Pro user.
Hi My name is Sinan I am recreational player Lower advanced 4.5 ish. Also a local stringer. The racket i played the most this year is blade 100l beefed up to 345g, and percept 100d both 330sw. I have 2 blades one strung with hyper g mains outlast crosses Other with babolat vs touch mains 4g rough crosses I string percept with confidential 1.20 All around 50-53lbs. After these 2 rackets kind of stopped testing rackets for a while after trying almost eveything on the market. Racket I might consider trying out next year is technifiber tflight 305 and 300 and possibly the new pure drive 98/100...
I used Head LM radical tour (2004) most time of the year. To my mind, old rackets have some magic feel. No dampening at all, i like it. Restring Sync/ Tour m8!
Yonex Regna 98 with mostly Luxilon Gut with ReString Sync in crosses (mostly around 50lbs, +/- 2lbs). Tried out Toroline O-Toro, Caviar, Head Lynx, Solinco Confidential in main or full, but every time go back to the basics, as miss the feel of the gut.
Im using the Ezone 98;with Restring 0 in the maines 16ga, and wasabi x 17 ga in the crosses. I string the maines at 48 and the crosses ar 50. I put lead on the 12 and 3 oclock and 9 oclock positions works goog for me 🎾🏆
5 years of tennis now and finally figuring out how to swing a stick. Lime green ezone 98 2017 with Head Lynx Tour at 49#. Alternate something completely different racket: Prince Phantom Pro 100 with Kirschbaum Orange and Gosen syngut at 49#. I can just tell the difference between the two, but know the specs are radically different. I don't why I'm here
I am a mess... I've been through a lot of rackets this year.... probably used a boom pro the most... not sure though. String has been either Triax or restring sync the most.
I hit with my Yonex Percept 97H with mint green Polytour Rev almost all year! I'm trying out toroline strings now - I started with Ether Wasabi X and it's alright 🤔
Lovely stuff. Top TennCom moment of the year right there: MY NAME IS SLIMON. 😂 Was also feeling pretty pleased that I’ve also tried most these strings. Then I realised, i get all my recommendations from all these wonderful content creators. Thanks all and good job Beckett. Blade 98 switched to Prestige Tour 95 (2023), 100% hidden gem! Solinco confidential 1.20mm. Though True Rush is possible switch. Best string was Tour M8, by far. 🤙
Where in the world does that stiffness divided by 1.25 thing come from? There’s at least a half dozen other things like head size and string density that might affect a choice
quick question, if you are trying new strings how do you decide what to string them at? I normally string around 54 lb. should I string stiffer strings with less tension and the other way around for soft strings or should I string them all the same?

Gotta love Jonas. “The racket I used most is the WilBaTechniHead PT57H22A RadiPretigiBoom 40.”
Sounds about right! 😂 Lately mainly Aero 98 tho 😮
Content creator tournament would be cool
Would pay to watch this
Karue is technically a content creator… 😄
@@rogalabc4412 So is Andy Roddick.
So, would you include Karue or Andy Roddick if they came to the event? This is if Andy Roddick can even play enough to do a Tournament.
Aloha Beckett,
Thanks again for inviting me to share my channel and gear with your viewers!
I look forward to your excellent content in 2025!!

Love the UA-cam tennis community and this has to be hands down the best collab ever!
Great job putting all these together- that’s a lot of clips dude

Yup. I second this. Kent from Open Court is great.
Great video! Love that I'm the only one using the RF 01 Pro lol - Munish

Watching this on IPhone 8 Plus 😂
Gotta love Slymon. And then Luca reminding even himself about his Boom Pro

Thank you for having us! Happy holidays and happy new year!

This was an excellent video Beckett. Well done! Kudos to you. 👍🏼 🎾

@@TennCom 7 days semi pro here i come
@@TennCom😅😅😅😅😅
@@TennCom yup I switched to strike 18x20 and become semi pro in 7 days
Brilliant! I really enjoyed the mix of channels. Spotted two or three I've not picked yet as well. Happy new year!
Its the Goat! Beckett!! Awesome video, hey what about the tennis spin guy i think his name is Harry. He puts his spin on your tennis. That would be cool to see yall collab.

Love how we have all the tennis personalities give their setup. Great video!
Tennis content creator award of 2024 definitely goes to tc with flying colours after this video. A giant sprint before the finish line :))

Cheers :)
Lately you have been my fav tennis channel! Looking forward to seeing more vids next year!
Great video idea! Uniting all the tennis online personalities in their purist form! Tennis god segment might be the best one lol!
Great video, I was out of tennis for 10+ years and came back midway this year. Absolutely love the channel's contribution for rekindling my love and motivation to go out there and play tennis again. My fiance got into tennis this year too 😊
honour to be part of your tennis journey!

YEAH WHERE WAS WINSTON AND INTUITIVE :(
oh wait Inuitive is on a racket hunt right now LOL
Albert is goated
Learnt so much this year about stringing from Albert👌👌
Switched from the Head Speed to the Babolat Pure Aero 98
With babolat RPM blast.
Been loving it.
Shoutout to OpenCourt. Surprised he didn't get feature
@tennisgod The pure strike 98 is not the stiffest 18x20 on the market. There are probably more but off the top of my head the dunlop cx 200 tour and wilson pro staff six one 95. Granted i’m talking about the current strike, if it’s an older one im not sure.
Coolest tennis YT video I’ve ever seen! I wish more tennis content creators would work together.
What a great crossover! Thanks for everything this year guys. You've converted me into a racket freak 😗As a beginner+/intermediate recreational player, this year I've been using the Babolat Pure Drive 100 2021 with Technifibre NRG2 on my strings.

Merry xmas and happy new year!
Dang Beckett you forgot about me 🤣 I used the babolat pure Strike 18X20 3rd gen with technifibre red code and kirschbaum pro line II at 53 lbs
This was a great video and I can see why the algorithm recommended some of these channels before. I can’t say I remember seeing AM stringing before but love it from the small clip shown. It was also nice seeing a lot of the others I follow.

Gotta check out AM for little nuggets of stringing gold!
Head Speed Pro 2014 + Kirschbaum Super Smash Orange 17 at 58. Thinking about getting a newer frame, but I love this 2014 so much.
Amazing video. I’ve been with the 2021 vcore 98+ for a couple years now and used k-pop/k-pro for most of the year at 56/54 lbs. now I’ve switched to confidential/evolution at 54/53. Merry Christmas happy holidays and happy new year everyone!

AN ALL STAR EPISODE!!!
Great video! I switched from the wilson blade 100 v8 to Head Speed Mp 2024 with head hawk 22/21 kg, really really love it
😭😭 where are GRISHA from Gladiators Tribe and KARUE SELL ?!?!?
Good question 🤔
What was a cracking video ! Arigatou from Japan :❤🎉
What a Great Video! I really enjoyed it.
This was an awesome concept. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic video idea. Happy new year to everyone.
Excellent collaboration!!
Instant classics are ZeroLove, the God and Slimey Slimon
My set:

- Grip: L2 / Wilson Pro Confort
It is a very good racket, very comfortable, it absorbs impacts very well. It has good spin and the "Cyclone" strings add more spin.

For the majority of 2024 I used the Head Auxetic Gravity Pro with the Tourna Silver 7 Tour at 24 kg
Merry Christmas to us! Great video! Hope it becomes an annual thing.
100%

Love Gill Gross' comment that he's a normal person and has only used one racquet 😂
I hit with my Yonex Percept 97H with mint green Polytour Rev almost all year!
I'm trying out toroline strings now - I started with Ether Wasabi X and it's alright 🤔
Big Ups to Beckett for compiling this!
This is awesome ❤
Nice video. It would be great if the guys would also mention what they like about their rackets/strings.
Hi!, currently using Regna 98 with sigmun pro firestorm. Great combo for me. ✌🏽
Lovely stuff. Top TennCom moment of the year right there: MY NAME IS SLIMON. 😂
Was also feeling pretty pleased that I’ve also tried most these strings. Then I realised, i get all my recommendations from all these wonderful content creators. Thanks all and good job Beckett.
Blade 98 switched to Prestige Tour 95 (2023), 100% hidden gem! Solinco confidential 1.20mm. Though True Rush is possible switch. Best string was Tour M8, by far. 🤙
Great idea for a video!
Good content and great outro!
Wow looks like Toroline has really made it's mark in the industry!
I think they provide a huge discount to content creators but I may be wrong
Love Bob from adventuretennis for repping the PS X
Tecnifibre TF40 2022 18x20 305g, Toroline Toro Toro mains at 22,5kg and Enso Pro crosses at 21,5kg
love this collab sm! too bad Intuitive Tennis is STILL on his racket hunt haha
Tennis God needs to slay off the coffee.
Where in the world does that stiffness divided by 1.25 thing come from? There’s at least a half dozen other things like head size and string density that might affect a choice
One simply doesn't question God
@@TennComu right my bad
What a wholesome,emvideo, congrats
Tenncomm best tennis content creator of the year.
quick question, if you are trying new strings how do you decide what to string them at? I normally string around 54 lb. should I string stiffer strings with less tension and the other way around for soft strings or should I string them all the same?
i always string at the same tension to start and then adjust later as needed
I would like to see future collaborations with Tennis Guy from Chekoslavakia .
I'm looking for a powerful string to compliment my MSV focus hex shaped in the mains. What do you recommend? I string usually 53M/50C
Focus Hex Soft seems like the natural choice
