The material composition is very similar to my 1st racquet , which I still have . The Dunlop Black Max 83 " racquet , with a very early 1985 restringing . These strings are still working well today . A heavier , smaller headed racquet like this , is a good trainer racquet for similar family cx 200 tour racquets .
@@ACTennis The only negatives were the heavy weight compared to today's racquets and with limited grip choices , lastly I wish they were a bit larger headed . Other than all of these issues , they were solid and similar feel character wise to the cx today . MX vs CX based both on the 200 series .
Thanks bud - it comes with some type of synthetic gut, i wouldn't recommend poly, it would probably be harmful overtime, because you end up hitting the frame itself more often, that will be more shock as it is
If you think about the 37.5sqi frame size, and consider that if you hit within the outer 1 inch you will be framing the ball, then what this shows is it's perfectly possible to consistently contact an area about 25sqi small. This aligns with the size of the typical sweet-zone according to TW, which is around 14-17sqi no matter how big the racket. Makes you think that the big sticks sold today probably makes us worse at making correct contact as we don't' focus so intently on the ball as we should.
Due to design, to make the head match to the normal racquet sweetspot, The length of the saber is 25 inches. The balance point is at 330 mm. All above information were Functional Tennis replyed me. So, SABER's balance is about 4pt HH.
AC irrelevant to the video but super interested to hear your views on the head extreme tour auxetic and how it compares to other spin frames. Surprised it's not already covered in your channel
Not covered because i did not find it so inherently different to the previous one aside from alterations in feel, which has some subtle impacts on other things , however for the most part, i'd essentially be making the exact same review as the old one, so i hadn't bothered to spend hours on writing and video editing to do it I mostly prefer racquets that show me a noticeable change , or offers something different, otherwise i'm mostly just repeating myself I'll save it for a racquet comparison vid

The review I didn’t think I needed! Thanks 🙏

Black Max is an awesome racket.
Yeah absolutely, those have been in some of the best racquets back in the day, and technically is higher quality than any of the innovations today

You hit so well with it looks very impressive hitting with it. Did it come with poly?

Probably not , i am definitely a culprit of that haha

Good point, very logical actually lol, don't know why i was thinking otherwise 😅
well spotted Ray!!
If this is how well you hit with saber, I can't imagine how clean your normal groundstrokes are.
Hahah it's not as difficult as it looks, if you can hit a ball with any level of confidence, you will middle the Saber pretty well
👍

@@ACTennis cool thanks for the response!
Lol, try this on clay...
I would like to know if a Prince Phantom 93 can provide similar results.
Should be the smallest actual racquet available.
It definitely can , just the weight to lug around may not be suitable for all groups of players
Your actually racket is the gravity Pro? Am I right?
Yes sirrrr
@@ACTennis i have to decide between the new gravity pro, Ezone or Prestige pro
@@jumperf9581 all 3 are fantastic
AC swings like I do lol
Let's hope that's a good thing 🤣
