Glad to see you reviewing more technifibre frames! If you are looking to do 1 more from the brand, check out the new Tf40 16x19 :D. Great review! Entertaining as always. Areg with the pink hoodie looks fresh.
Good review, gentlemen. I agree with Areg's take on modern art. Grisha, if I serve hard with a light stiffie (racquet) my arm might drop off too. I hope you haven't injured yourself.
Thanks for reviewing more TF racquets, they are a personal favorite due to the prevalence of foam filling. I enjoy your rating system at the end of each video and it is helpful since it is mostly just two of you trying out racquets. Would you consider adding an additional rating category around comfort or arm-friendliness? Thanks and keep up the amazing work.
Hey guys, great content again! Can you do a video on some explanation on what gladiators tennis is? Like are you guys an academy, club, or just friends? And are you in college? What tournaments do you play? Finally I've been wondering, what's the brand of the oval vibration dampener that i some times see in grisha's racket?
It's totally awesome to know that you wanna know our story! We'd love to do a video like that in the future. We definitely will, just maybe a bit later. Also the dapener is Luxilon 😉
Nice one. I was deciding between a few of these 98s and the iga was one of the racquets in the shortlist. Ended up going for the head extreme tour cause it's less stiffness and i was worried about my wrist not handling this stiffer racquets. I wish you guys would make the videos in two parts, like before and after customization, with like always same approximate weight, sw, bal, etc. Easy to do with tennis warehouse university tools i think ...and maybe a comparison videos between these closed spec racquets, like this one and de head et, pure drive vs, yonex vcore/ezone 98 etc... hope you don't mind the suggestions. cheers
Thank you very much! We absolutely do not mind the suggestions! You're right that could be a cool video. Though not so many people are that much into customization ☹️
Cool looking racquet but very stiff frame, strings for me would need to be at a lower tension like around 45lb or less for full polly setup to save my arm! As you two noted the low weight makes it easy to customise this seems to be a trend with the on or about 300g racquet weight club. aka Ezone, Extreme Tour. Nice review on a cool looking stick :)
Hi guys, it would be awesome if you could tell something about the Stringbed. Unfortunately the current trend goes to even more open Stringbeds in the center whichs pruduces a lot of spin amd string movement but you lose a lot of feel and control (especially on flatter strokes) cause it feels a bit mushy. Also the launch angle gets really high. Would be great if could tell a few words about that in your videos. For me the string pattern makes the biggest part in how a racquet feels and plays.
You're right, the string pattern and density are very important aspects in rackets. Some of the most important ones for sure. We will get into the topic of it in a future video!
So the new Yonex Ezone 98 2022 7th gen version is getting a fair bit of positive hype, even Shapo is endorsing it now and from his string count and the mould you can see he is using a pro stock version. The question is are you guys going to review these racquets? Would be interesting to your take on this, may need some weight added as its only 305g
*Wait, what? Another racket nobody asked for?* Heh, we all love them anyway! Wonderful video! I don't dig the design and paint-job of this frame though. 😅 New racquets these days have soo many different technologies in them, that it starts sounding excessive no? 😂 Also, I love the humor, it gets me every time! Keep this up, and keep reviewing racquets that nobody asked for!🤣💯 Also I do be loving that *Kings & Queens of England* poster on that door at the start of the video heh 👑😁! Also that *Every WTA players ranking* chart, I just can't hold my laughter because it's 💯 true but also kind of sad!😔🤣 Nice touch of humor! 💯
Hahhahahahah Huge thanks!!! They do but I mean, as long as they work 😂😂 We're glad the joke was funny cuz we weren't too sure about it 😬 It's a bit sad but I guess more entertaining 😂😂
In the beginning I thought you guys were just silly, now I crack up laughing 😂. But seriously, review the Tfight RS300. It plays a lot like this one I hear, but it’s a bit softer. I own a pair and have a hard time faulting it, but yes it needs more weight. It’s one that’s always overlooked because of the 305, which is also good but much harder to play with.
Hi guys, from Australia here. big fan of your channel. i was wondering if there is any chance of reviewing Wilson Ultra Pro 97 i know it’s not exactly new but still on sale but i hardly seen any reviews apart from TW.
@@gladiatorstribe it’s sold through Wilson website. i just thought because it has a cult following amongst the more experienced players and a lot of people tend to modified them. they say it’s a H19 mould anyways thought it would be interesting for your channel, something out of the box 👍
@@gladiatorstribe Speed MP sounds great. It is for 14 y.o girl playing Pure Drive Team (285g) transitioning into new racket between 290-300g, so adding lead to this new racket is not an option at this time. The lead would be ok to add to the PD Team, but not sure how many grams and what position to make it more stable. Watching your reviews so far, the only light rackets you like are those.
Hello Barcelona, 71 stiffness? wow. Areg should switch to this racquet, never played this good. I watch Iga a lot, but it looks like she struggles with precision sometimes, and she plays with lot of spin, has extreme grip. Grisha why your arm disslocates, i felt today it could happen to me. weird feeling i stopped hitting hard not sure why it happens?
Да, все, поняли! Ига Свияйтейк 😂😂 Шучу, спасибо будем знать на будущее! А по поводу Вандэзандсхюлп, ну как смогли сказать, попытались 😂😂 Большое спасибо за комментарий!
Something looks very uncomfortable about the way Grish was playing with this racquet. All your baseline strokes looked so laboured and forced - despite the positive review, it doesn't look like you enjoyed playing with it very much. Your movements didn't look very natural or graceful. Areg is just always beautifully majestic; when he mentioned his backhand slice didn't feel great I wrote this racquet off immediately - shouldn't mess with perfection. Sofia can keep it.
And I believe that you are aware of the fact the only some pros play with actual racquet.... They have different molds and layups🤣🤣 But you use word ENDORSED which clarifiers alot
Swaitek has no offense and the only major she could win was the French. She got absolutely destroyed by Collins at AO. Score doesn't really reflect how one sided that was. I don't watch her unless it's against someone I like.
Glad to see you reviewing more technifibre frames! If you are looking to do 1 more from the brand, check out the new Tf40 16x19 :D. Great review! Entertaining as always. Areg with the pink hoodie looks fresh.
Thanks! Will do this one as well, the new one is coming out soon I think!
I asked for this a bit ago. I was so excited seeing this on my feed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you :)
Hahahaha thats awesome!!!! We hope you've liked it!!
@@gladiatorstribe Yes !!! I play with this racket on the daily !
That's cool! Great choice!!
Been very curious about this frame but there's hardly any reviews out there. Thanks for doing this one.
Awesome! We're glad we managed to satisfy you!! Thanks!
Super interesting guys! Love watching all your content each week! 😍
Thank youuu!!!

Thank you very much! I agree with him too 😂😂 Thanks for worrying, I'm alright, just got a bit scared for a second 😂
This is my new favorite channel. You guys are hilarious. Good to see a fellow Armo (barev Areg jan) playing as well. :)
Thank you so much!! Means the world for us to know that! Barev ev shat shnorhakalutyun
Great review guys. I guess the dampened feeling is the foam filling like most TFs. Man, dislocating your shoulder on serving, that's nasty :-
Thank you very much!! Yeah, that would make sense. I know, not the best feeling 🥴 That could be an interesting tutorial 😂😂

Thank you very much!! Really appreciate your feetback! You're right, they're great rackets, for sure!! That could be something to add, might do!!
How does it compare with the extreme tour auxetic? Which one is more consistent? Spin comparison? Backhand Slice between the two?
Hey guys, great content again!

Hi guys, it would be awesome if you could tell something about the Stringbed. Unfortunately the current trend goes to even more open Stringbeds in the center whichs pruduces a lot of spin amd string movement but you lose a lot of feel and control (especially on flatter strokes) cause it feels a bit mushy. Also the launch angle gets really high. Would be great if could tell a few words about that in your videos.

Yes, we will definitely review it! As soon as we get our hands on it!
Yall are the most entertaining but also such great reviews keep it up
Thank you so much!!

Hahhahahahah Huge thanks!!! They do but I mean, as long as they work 😂😂 We're glad the joke was funny cuz we weren't too sure about it 😬 It's a bit sad but I guess more entertaining 😂😂
How does iga compare to the 2022 ezone 100 in power n flat backhand? I have the ezone 100 n want a 98 with same power but better flat shots
Does iga temp or aero 98 have more power serve if same spec
How does this racquet is compared to a Wilson blade 98 v8???
What were the customizations made?
I’m literally still rolling on the floor from the intro and the modern art comment from Areg 🤣🤣🤣
We're glad to know the joke was funny 😂😂 We weren't sure about this one. I mean isn't he right tho? 😂
Hi, I know this was a long time ago so appreciate this could be missed but how did you customise this racket? The no trap door makes it very hard.
In the beginning I thought you guys were just silly, now I crack up laughing 😂. But seriously, review the Tfight RS300. It plays a lot like this one I hear, but it’s a bit softer. I own a pair and have a hard time faulting it, but yes it needs more weight. It’s one that’s always overlooked because of the 305, which is also good but much harder to play with.
Hahahaha that's such an awesome comment😂😂 Massive thanks! Yeah, we've done the 305 and we would do the 300 tho we don't have it available 😬
Hi guys, from Australia here.
big fan of your channel.
i was wondering if there is any chance of reviewing Wilson Ultra Pro 97
i know it’s not exactly new but still on sale but i hardly seen any reviews apart from TW.
Hey there!! Awesome to you here!! That's a really interesting racket to review tho it's really rare. I don't think I've seen one here yet 😬🤯
@@gladiatorstribe it’s sold through Wilson website. i just thought because it has a cult following amongst the more experienced players and a lot of people tend to modified them.
they say it’s a H19 mould
anyways thought it would be interesting for your channel, something out of the box 👍
@@MrBruster78 Wow, H19 sounds very tempting. We'll double check if we can find one 😂😂
Great as always gladiators! please review the TF40 18x20 305 grms!
The new one is coming out really soon!!
Hey guys! Great review, how much weight did you add to the racquet and where?
Great review, thanks for taking some risks and testing less « known » frame!
Thank you! That definitely was a risk 😂😂
Excellent thanks guys 👍 appreciate 🎾💗
Thank you very much!!!
That's an interesting racquet actually 🤔
Are you guys planning to do the new ezone 100 btw?
Nice content as usual.
Cheers from Brasil 🇧🇷!
Thank you very much! We are planning to review it, for sure. As soon as we get it here, we'll review it.
Loved the BTC reference in the intro lmao
Hahaha thanks!!
Which is better Iga 298 or Gravity MP?
They're very similar, if you add lead to the Rebound especially. In stock form though, the speed mp is more powerful and more stable.
@@gladiatorstribe Speed MP sounds great. It is for 14 y.o girl playing Pure Drive Team (285g) transitioning into new racket between 290-300g, so adding lead to this new racket is not an option at this time. The lead would be ok to add to the PD Team, but not sure how many grams and what position to make it more stable. Watching your reviews so far, the only light rackets you like are those.
You guys should do the new yonex ezone 100 or 98 2022
We definitely should! Problem is, we don't have the racket yet 😂😂
What would you say this feels like compared to the pure drive
This one has better control 😉
Thanks for the review! How much weight did you add to the head and handle?
Around 4 grams if I remember well.
Grisha: Dislocates shoulder
Also Grisha: Hits a backhand winner
Do string reviews also... Preferably from the brands that are good but not popular like MSV, Diadem etc
Will do strings in the future as well!
Next Reviews pls ezone98, Wilson Blade 98 16x19, Speed pro.
Will do when we get them 😉
When Speed Pro 2022?
When we get it 🤭
Hello Barcelona, 71 stiffness? wow. Areg should switch to this racquet, never played this good. I watch Iga a lot, but it looks like she struggles with precision sometimes, and she plays with lot of spin, has extreme grip. Grisha why your arm disslocates, i felt today it could happen to me. weird feeling i stopped hitting hard not sure why it happens?
Yeah 71 is quite a bit 😂😂 He should huh! Problem that started in my childhood. Not the best feeling 🥴
Парни, Ига Швёнтэк - так произносится) Вандэзандсхюлп смогли же сказать. Швёнтэк попроще будет
Да, все, поняли! Ига Свияйтейк 😂😂 Шучу, спасибо будем знать на будущее! А по поводу Вандэзандсхюлп, ну как смогли сказать, попытались 😂😂
Большое спасибо за комментарий!
You should review yonex Regna
A bit out of the budget 😂🤪
Its a pro stock raket and all prostocks are light to customize...
Something looks very uncomfortable about the way Grish was playing with this racquet. All your baseline strokes looked so laboured and forced - despite the positive review, it doesn't look like you enjoyed playing with it very much. Your movements didn't look very natural or graceful.
Areg is just always beautifully majestic; when he mentioned his backhand slice didn't feel great I wrote this racquet off immediately - shouldn't mess with perfection.
Sofia can keep it.
Hahahaha yeah, not playing my best tennis lately 🥴 His slice felt bad but he was hitting it well 😂😂
Go Sofia 😂😂
Areg completely demolished Grisha this time
Thanks 😂
Another banger
Huge thanks!!
I like the classroom😂😂
Гриша, Ига не твоя сестра?)))
Вроде нет 😂😂😂
And I believe that you are aware of the fact the only some pros play with actual racquet.... They have different molds and layups🤣🤣
But you use word ENDORSED which clarifiers alot
Yes, we are aware 🤭
Grisha should wear socks 😅🤣
It looks weird without socks🧦
I would have paid to see you dressed as a WTA player... you have lost a few euros...jjajajaa...by the way great review
😂😂😂 Thanks! Really appreciate it😂 I'm sure Areg would be down!
stiff racket
Yeah
Swaitek has no offense and the only major she could win was the French. She got absolutely destroyed by Collins at AO. Score doesn't really reflect how one sided that was. I don't watch her unless it's against someone I like.
Interesting, thanks for sharing.
This comment aged horribly
Aged very unfortunately
