Here’s where my mind gets confused: if the “prostock” stability and feel comes from the materials (and here I’m assuming it’s not beam design as this would be so replicable and there’s no reason why big brands wouldn’t do it).. then how the heck are they making money?
@brunis_m Demo the racket and see for yourself. It can be down to the layup of the graphite, also beam design isn't always easy to replicate as they have moulds under lock and key.
I don’t get it - 99 is quite large, yet it plays quite controlled, what’s the point? Why not using a 95-98 if we want control? Smaller racquets generally looks better and moves faster through the air…
Yeah I'd agree this isn't as whippy as a vcore 95 for example, but the extra headsize does genuinely offer more forgiveness there. I suspect if you're a 95 fan you'd stick with that. This is exciting to me because it breaks the mold of 99/100 inch rackets being big power rackets.
What was the racquet strung with ? And tension Sean was playing with ?
What is the RA on this racket?
