its not better than anyone of those. i tested and doest seem to me to have more control or pop than this 2.Except voleying with it i didnt found better at anything else ,or maybe it had the wrong strings.
Are both racquets arm friendly ? I played with the 100 today and was surprised how fast it was and how arm friendly. Is the 100D as fast as the 100 ? May be with a better control. Thanks for this good review.
Thanks lads from Australia. Personally when I see racquet testers who can actually play their opinions hold more weight for mine. How clean does Nikki hit the ball ? Could watch that court level stuff for days .. lol. Anyway I’m coming from vcore 95 (which I thought was the holy grail) then switched to some blade 98’s (a little too “mushy” for me with less feel … to now got two percept 100d coming. At 44 I feel I’ve got maybe 5 good years of tennis left before the body will start to adversely affect my game so I don’t care about jumping from frame to frame in terms of $$$ spend - ya only live once and ya can’t take it with you .. thanks for the review guys ur channel is my go to along with karue for all things tennis due to ur own tennis playing level
Hospital green is what I would call the color of that racquet. Not my personal fav but it sounds like it hits well. Interesting comment about the 100 feeling a little like a toy. I had the same impression the first time I hit with my Ezone 100 and literally told my friend it felt like a toy. I added a leather grip and some weight to the handle changing it from 4pts to 8pts HL. Felt much more stable and lost the toy feeling. Could be why these are at 6pts HL like a previous commenter mentioned.
Ha same first impression here, toy like but ina good way. Haven't added the leather grip and lead yet, have you had any elbow problems? Its pretty stiff
@@TheJstaplesI have mine strung with a full bed of Solinco Hyper-G Soft 1.25mm at 52lbs. No elbow issues so far and it’s been over a year. I used cotton balls and tungsten putty inside the butt cap along with the leather grip to also add stability against harder hitters.
bought the 100D immediately when I got the chance and I love it so far. Just haven't found the optimal string setup for me yet. Tried Head Lynx Tour 1.25 and Yonex PTP 1.25 at 22kg and 23 kg respectively, but I'm not 100% happy with either of them. Might have to try some other strings... But it still plays great! And yeah, it does look a hell of a lot better with the stencil on :D
This is a very open 18 mains string pattern with even spacing right across. Plays more like a 16 than a traditional 18. I was shocked how lively it is. Balance is almost perfect but I would definitely put a leather grip and a touch of lead at 6 & 9.
Hey Jonas, how would you compare it to Prestige MP L ‘23 in terms of overall playability (in case if MP L is customized nearly to 100D specs in weight/balance)?
How would you go from the current Pure Aero 100 to this? Would the drop in power be a killer? I went from the latest Pure Drive to the latest Pure Aero and got a power drop and control increase and loved it. Just wondering how the transition to 100D would go from the Pure Aero 2023 100.
Hey Tennisnerd, i got a suggestion for a review, Portable tennis nets, those for 10 and under tennis, i am sure nobody has done good reviews about them.
Can I please get a decent hybrid string brands type recommend to try for topspin/control (with decent durability)?? 54 (15% gut pre-stretch) / 48 (5% hawk rough pre-stretch) thanks much appreciatiin 🙏
It doesn't feel as stiff as the 66 RA rating for me but its not buttery soft either. I think the hoop is where the stiffness is but the throat and handle is soft so it feels softer than if the whole racquet was stiff. I've had elbow issues so i also string it with multi at 45 lbs
Thanks Jonas! What do you think, would this frame work with a multifilament like Head Velocity or would it be too much power and not enough spin to keep the ball in play? Thanks for all your videos and cheers from Finland!
Mine in fine with multi but you may want to string it at higher tension. I didn't feel it became overpowered or launchy but at 100 sq inch i lost a bit of directional control
Yonex coming right at Speed Pro and Gravity Pro
Maybe not the Gravity pro because it has a lot more control
its not better than anyone of those. i tested and doest seem to me to have more control or pop than this 2.Except voleying with it i didnt found better at anything else ,or maybe it had the wrong strings.
Speed 98 18x19, 22mm beam, 62ra strung...should have made it long ago, would be really well received.
Get TF40 or Whiteout.
@@EGchristiantried whiteout it felt horrible but the tf40 is nice
TF40 makes no sense. Just get the tfight 305 98 18x19 25.5mm. I switched from the speed pro and best balance. But had to customize it quite a lot tho
@@cleris7728 I demoed the tfight and it was nice, still prefer the speed pro though over it
100D vs Gravity Tour... ???
I have to say, I was using the 100 and bought the 100D and I am in love.
Y’all totally missed the fact that they moved the balance point way more head light compared to Yonex more usual spec of 4pt hl for 100 sq in frames
Would be interesting to compare to Angel React 18x19 new release.
I had to pause the video to check if it was my neighbor mowing the lawn 😂
Great video!
Haha, sorry about that, happy you liked it.

Thanks for your videos! How do you compare it to the Prince Tour 100P? Especially regarding manoeuvrability for ohb)
Love this frame! Very good for my game!

Polytour Rev purple 17g
I own one and play with the Casper Ruud blend and it hits good! 48lbs x 46lbs
@@dimcorner trying polytour strike/pro hybrid next!
So far, I’ve tested Poly tour rev mint 1.20mm and MSV Focus Hex Ultra also 1.20mm. Both played pretty well, but tests are ongoing.
Very picky on string and tension selection... still not found a good match ... Maybe lower tension is better with a soft Poly to improve the dwell
This is a very open 18 mains string pattern with even spacing right across. Plays more like a 16 than a traditional 18. I was shocked how lively it is. Balance is almost perfect but I would definitely put a leather grip and a touch of lead at 6 & 9.
Please review Speed Pro vs. Percept 100D! Thanks!
Hey Jonas, how would you compare it to Prestige MP L ‘23 in terms of overall playability (in case if MP L is customized nearly to 100D specs in weight/balance)?
And compared to the compared to the MP 23 as well!
does anyone know how this compares to the gravity pro?
How would you go from the current Pure Aero 100 to this? Would the drop in power be a killer? I went from the latest Pure Drive to the latest Pure Aero and got a power drop and control increase and loved it. Just wondering how the transition to 100D would go from the Pure Aero 2023 100.
A bit of a power drop, but more control, especially on flatter shots
@@Tennisnerd Thank you.
I like this much better than gravity and speed
Hey Jonas, how would you compare it to the Prince Tour 100p 2015?
How does this compare to the head classic prestige 2.0 for a “big” hitter?
Love your videos! Percept 100D or Regna 98 for all around stick?
Thanks, I would go Percept
Did you find it similar to the Tfight ISO 305?
Do you prefer 97 with lead tape or the 100d ?
Hey Tennisnerd, i got a suggestion for a review, Portable tennis nets, those for 10 and under tennis, i am sure nobody has done good reviews about them.
Hi, do you play it with L2 or L3!
How does it compare to head extreme?
These Nicki Roen videos are excellent.
Can I please get a decent hybrid string brands type recommend to try for topspin/control (with decent durability)??
54 (15% gut pre-stretch) / 48 (5% hawk rough pre-stretch)
thanks

The RA of this frame is quite high... is it stiff ?
It doesn't feel as stiff as the 66 RA rating for me but its not buttery soft either. I think the hoop is where the stiffness is but the throat and handle is soft so it feels softer than if the whole racquet was stiff. I've had elbow issues so i also string it with multi at 45 lbs
Nikki hitting a better ball without adding weights! Or did he sneak a few grams while stringing? xD
Thanks Jonas! What do you think, would this frame work with a multifilament like Head Velocity or would it be too much power and not enough spin to keep the ball in play? Thanks for all your videos and cheers from Finland!

Jonas, How would this 100D compare to the Angell React 99?
The React has a bit more ball pocketing but they play quite similarly in many ways. Both excellent racquets
@@Tennisnerd❤
@tennisnerd thanks so much for the reply! Used to play with K-7 Red & Lime, but lately with EZone; the React (315g) sounds really good to me!
WIsh they made a plus version of it :(
How does this racquet compare to the radical mp
Quite similar in terms of control and feel, actually
Any news on the rumoured Gravity 98 due next year Jonas??
No idea sorry!
Jonas, it's interesting to see the failed takes after the main video, as in Jack Chan's films =)
100D and powerpads? I'm watching this..
97D review in the making?
So according to Nicki, using power pads equals to "stringing it properly" 😉 hahahah 😂
Heavy
Stencil = beginner
Sucks not for sale in Canada yet 🫣
I know I’m waiting for it too😭
