    I will buy this as soon as possible. looks classy and elegant. But what did they do with the paintjob at the 4 and 8 position? why interrupt the line? This looks exactly like a scratch from the stringing machine 😕

    Sounds about right. I dropped the Gravity Tour for the Blade v8, mostly bc of the serve and maneuverability. Now I'm looking for more power and stability without sacrificing the speed and am close to dropping the Blade for the Radical MP.

      we're on the same road then, blade v8 16x19 here but want more power without sacrificing the stability and fell of the blade, I was towards the radical mp but cant find one to demo in my area. I Dont wanna give up that feeling that the blade has with the the low stiffnes and I guess I might have if go with the rad

      @@petershort936 i think the dunlop its on another spectrum of things when we talk about blade and radical, it is more like a pure droive 100sq and high stiffness and loadsssss of power.

    I have my gravity mp auxetic customized to almost the gravity pro spec and that's just great. Is a great racket that shines in touch and does everything extremely well (customized). There are rackets that outperform the gravity on one area but generally they will lack one more than one other area. This racket is very well balanced

    I'm currently using V-Core 2023, 98, how do you feel compared to V-Core?
    Can you recommend changing the racket?

    • @tennisviking
      @tennisviking  Рік тому +2

      The Vcore is 10 grams heavier so it will have a bit more drive through, but I like the Gravity MP better. It has a little more flex and comfort. And I would just add a little weight to the gravity to match that Vcore if you prefer that weight class. I will try and customize my G MP soon and upload and let you know how it feels 👍

    Been playing with the Dyreex Black Mist 1.30 full-bed on the powerful and open 16*19 Diadem Nova FS100. I think your combo of the soft string in the mains Luxilon Element / Black Mist (co-polyamid / very elastic) and stiffer or generic round polyester in the mains, makes more sense than going full-bed with these vey comfortable strings.

    • @tennisviking
      @tennisviking  Рік тому +1

      Good feedback. I mainly use softer polys full bed because of arthritis in my joints, but I’m always up for trying something new.

    • @experientialtennispickleball
      @experientialtennispickleball Рік тому

      @@tennisviking unfortunately in full-bed, the Black Mist is TOO powerful and launchy. Comfort is super good, but Control in point-play suffers. In any case, this material seems better than full-bed multifilamens. I cut the crosses and put Isospeed Cream in the crosses and hit yesterday. MUCH better feedback. Power got controllable, the snapback is much better and managed to play some games (2-4). It makes total sense to go for a multi (mains) x soft-poly (crosses). Copied your Element x Hawk Power. First time playing hybrid setup. Control is much better. The mains will not stick out of place, at least not as quickly as full-bed, underspin is mediocre but topspin is decent.
      * the Spiral could be better than Black Mist. I'll try more multi x poly hybrids like RS New York in the mains

      Auxetic doesn’t help a lot with comfort imo. In regards to head rackets. the boom pro, and Xtreme tour are comfortable and doesn’t hurt my wrist, shoulder, which is where I’ve had serious injuries. I also think the Vcore pro 100 is a nice stick 👍
