Sounds powerful 👍💪

@@TomekGrzyb82 tak jest! Integracja 🍻🏆

I no longer have tc95. But MP is definitely bigger. A bit more „rounded” . Tc95 is more oval in shape with „sharper” cuts. Almost like comparing tc95 to speed pro.

@@dandan.tennis prestige always looked oval to me like egg. I thought tc95 was round

@@mteca5093 nope. TF40 looks quite similar to TC95 while being a 98" headsize. It is juuuust tiny bit bigger but shape and the overall vibe is similar. Performance is different though. TF40 more control, less spin

@dandan.tennis I have hard time with yonex shape n oval shapes like blade 98...I played best with rounder head shapes... can you measure the Prestige 95 length n width from inside the frame??? Tnxxx

I just got measurements from my aero 98 and tc95 with surprising outcome .... TC95 IS 5mm longer then aero98 BUT same width...tc95 327mm x 245mm...aero98 322mm x 245mm

@@philippd.4570 its a goodie for sure :)

@@oneshadeoff9440 what you didnt like about the radical mp ? Yonex ezone 100 will feel „heavier” than the radical mp. Vcore 100 is more spin friendly and more comfortable. Percept 100 is the most consistent with best feel. On the other hand Murray switched to ezone 100 so there is some inspiration behind this potential pick. Personally I would probably go vcore 100. Fun stick to play with💪

@@dandan.tennis is vcore more aerodynamic, like a blade. Since the blade doesn't feel like 320 grams.

@@oneshadeoff9440imo vcore 100 will feel slightly faster than a blade 98 which has higher SW.

@@Brudda97 with strings and dampener and OG its now 350g, 32 cm. Might add few more grams to make the balance between 31.5-31.8 but we will see ;)

Why do you play with such demanding racket? What's the point?​@@dandan.tennis

@@cekinekshn smaller headsizes give more control and are good on flatter playstyles (Del Potro, Djokovic, Murray, Medvedev). Sense of the racquet in the hand is improved (you have better connection with the ball). So in my case - i play better backhands and dont do as many mistakes on forehands. I think first serves are also better. Slightly worse on returns, volleys and on defense but as a grinder i am usually good at running around the court 💪 but lets see how far it will go in my tournament of racquets! :)

@@dandan.tennis yes I all know that but this type of racket doesn't give you anything for free. Have you played with it against some heavy hitters in a real match? Not baseline practice when you hit through the middle. I mean, I watched your videos and your shots are far from being flat. You play with topspin. Especially on forehand Thicker beam and 100sq inch frame will you just more. Also, a stiffer frame not butter soft like prestige. If Alcaraz or Sinner can play with modern 98 and modern 100 then we also can. And we should be able to control it. Prestige is for old school heavy hitters. And even they sometime move to Babolat Pure Drive because it just gives so much more for free. Andy Murray moved from old Head PT57A to modern tweener racket Ezone 100 (not even pro stock Ezone).

@@cekinekshn Andy Murray didnt improve his results so his switch for now is more like a fun-fact rather than a direction to follow. (Before this tournament of racquets my main frame was a 95” anyway). Despite me hitting higher above the net (i agree with your observation) my visualisation of the strokes is more through the ball and its a bit easier with 95”. With 100” i start hitting out Unless its a gravity or speed or Percept. 98 is a happy sweet spot and I do enjoy many frames that are 98. Btw prestige tour (95) is more forgiving than a prestige pro (98). This is not my final pick but we will find out soon how far i can go with it. Being competitive is my main goal so of course maybe i will lack something with a more demanding frame. Usually its a balance of many things. I dont have to hit very hard. I must be consistent and smart with ball placement first. What are your top 3 frames? :)

@@TimTheMusicMan 😂 cooking

@@bigdaddy812 in my junior days my main racquet was Babolat roddicks signature pure drive which was extended. Fun stick ! But its been so long time ago…a bit worried that its not my cup of tea 🍻 if it was 18x19…. 🤗

Thanks for sharing your view. Have you tried tour bite ? Confidential is nice but tour bite might offer more spin. Tour bite soft has less „magic”. At the moment my setup is more HL with the leather grip i guess its a preference .

Yes I also have tour bite but haven't tried it on this racket, I find tour bite little boardy and not enough feel in full bed. Weight on the handle increase stability but also the power dramatically I think control is what lacking here. I go head light or head heavy depending on the racket as long as its not in between :))

Btw confidential 1.20 has significantly more spin than tour b 1.25 and lots more feel to help with your accuracy imo... :)

@@sinand881 Ye, Maybe but i cant play with thin strings.. they are a bit unpredictable in the response (launch angle and power). In 18x20 maybe…18x19 i tried razor soft hybrid 125 with 1.20 and razor code 1.20 and it was not for me. In the past i was using 1.20 hyper g in a blade 18x20 it was nice but still…1.25 and 1.30 is my usual direction

@@pajavampir from yonex: poly tour strike 1.30 or poly tour pro 1.25. From other brands I would try Toroline KPop and Solinco Tour Bite. I also think Signum Pro Firestorm 1.30 could work like a magic :) Oh and tecnifibre razor code 1.25 white could work as well!

@@dandan.tennis played with kpro and it wasnt bad tbh

@@Game-Set-Match i usually prefer softer sticks. Maybe I will demo it at some point but its not a part of my tournament of racquets :) tfight 315 was my „pro staffy test” (but its foam filled) . I guess diadem Elevate tour also lands there (but its foam filled). In both cases (Elevate and Tfight 315) i haveNo issue with comfort but the feel of the sweet spot and its size is definitely different with those frames.

@@mteca5093 haha i am trying not to but i feel pretty confident that i will manage to switch. Then i will have to defend the choice in my local tournaments :)

@@dandan.tennis tc95 is like a 97 or 98...test the tc95 to other 97 or 98 rackets head size...

@@FlywithMiguel i prefer the whiteout 16x19 for double handed backhand. Something about the weight distribution and you still have the option to add weight modules to fine tune your setup towards pro staff / tfight direction so you still have options. So whiteout is a bit more versatile and tfight is a bit more specific. In my tournament of racquets whiteout is still in the game while tfight 315 is out. 👍

Thanks man for your comment :) shoes are asics resolution (i prefer them over the solutions). But I will probably go back to Nike or maybe try Yonex and Lacoste before final decision. Those are good shoes but I prefer more cushioning and stable feel. If you have any questions feel free to ask :)

@@dandan.tennis thanks for the reply :-) do you have any suggestions for a more controlled E100? I like the forgiveness, power, and stability, do you think pure strike 98 is a little more controlled?

@@BukBukBawk Maybe Babolat pure aero 98. Pure strikes are more „control oriented” but probably have best feel from all the Babolat frames. You can try first changing strings on your E100. Try signum pro firestorm 1.30. You should get more control. Maybe you dont have to change that much :) ezone 100 is very specific. I didnt find anything that stable and powerful in stock form to be honest. But for that power the launch response is pretty predictable so thats how ezone 100 is an interesting frame !

Thanks for the comment ! Ye on clay i had No issues at all. On hard courts i experienced lack of stability with the regular version but i guess customizing would help. I figured i will be closer to the tour anyway

Its 66! 😅 you can try lowering tension or use thinner strings but of course the strings are a bit more locked compared to 16x19 pattern. But you have lower launch so you can accelerate a bit more „free”. Different strokes react differently to different patterns and racquets. Thats really interesting about playtesting or recommending racquets to someone ❤

​@@dandan.tennistrue, i didn't realize how significant launch angle could affect strokes until i tried switching to the Head Boom Pro and Vcore 98. While they really helped my topspin forehand i found the launch angle made slice and volleys too different and couldn't make the switch

@@TheJstaples let me know how it worked out for you :) did you switch to thicker strings to lower the launch ?

@@dandan.tennis yes i tried that going to 16 guage. It did help a bit but i still lacked the accuracy i had with the launch angle of my 2017 Ezome 98. I really like the Ezome 100 but it has hurt my elbow, do you think adding weight would help? I have already switched to a soft multi

@@TheJstaples i think adding weight wont improve comfort. It could be associated with technique but from my experience if something hurts you with a specific racquet its better to move on rather than trying to adapt.

Its definitely a bit weird but possible. Sweet spot is located a bit lower with bigger headsizes. (I think)

​@dandan.tennis put the tc95 on top of other rackets...it's actually same size as some 98s

Nope. Sounds a little hardcore :p

Uuu that is actually very interesting concept !

also Federer didn't change "that much". The racquet was designed to be as similar as possible with just more forgiveness (in theory). So Murray actually did something more extreme. Djokovic also stayed with "his racquet" as a base. Slightly extended, lighter and different string pattern. So ye...Murray's change is a totally different mindset.

cool, i've heard they improved with the updates. I had the first gen K7 red and to be honest it was my least favourite Angell racquet.

i believe I said "Iga signature racquet - Tempo" as a frame reference, not as a statement as you can still buy it :) sure she "switched" to the Tfight 300 but whats under the paint...who knows. I can tell that her specs before the switch to the tfight was 299g/32.6 cm/299 SW (unstrung) . Pretty much oldschool blade :)

Just a paint job. You can tell from the glossy paint and the throat shape that she’s still using the old frame

@@EGchristian thanks, so specs probably same as well

@@EGchristian Youàre absolutely right ! English is not my main language I had to state °endorses° ... Thanks for the clarification !!

Nope. Tc95 more comfort, more feel, Tempo easier to use and lower launch angle. Spin potential is similar. Tempo at the same specs maybe would have the same thump. In stock form it is faster through the air. Tempo can be used by anybody, tc95 is for a specific player.

I want to try Wasabi / Enso Pro. Its on my list to review as well but i am always behind my schedule. I will drop soon Vcore 100 vs Ezone 100, then probably Percept 97 because someone asked me about it and I value „community” :) i am still in the „missing puzzle” group of racquets with 100D , Whiteout 18x20 and Prestige MP 18x19 waiting for the review :)

Congrats :) from what frame are you switching ?

I am switching from the Head Speed Pro. I mirrored the specs close to the Wilson ntour 95. But, I also collect and this is the last thing I have not done.

@@b.lakeberg7456 nice, you should enjoy it. Obviously the key difference is forgiveness but solidness and connection goes to tc95. I remember that when I was casually testing frames while using tc95 . Speed Pro (360+) and Prestige MP (360+) were the closest racquets, easiest to switch between each other. What string you plan to use first?

Thanks for the push! I will first review the 100 D but Maybe I will prioritize 97 then :) or 97D?

97 :)

@@arturnn2397 i will keep you in mind! Now the 100D is coming soon, 97 will be next :)

Happy to hear some positive feedback. Thanks! I will keep grinding :)

Yap. Tour is interesting for sure. Im gonna test it a little bit more. I must say that this group of racquets is very strong and im not sure yet which will go to next round (and ive been hitting them for few weeks now) . I havent tried whiteout 18x20 yet

I predict you'll like the Whiteout 18x20 for many of the same aspects you dig in the Tour. I also predict "racquet fatigue" testing so many frames at the same time. So take your time!

@@brandomaxwell fatigue already here hehe. Tour similar to whiteout 18x20 ? Now im hyped :p

Thanks for your time to comment and sharing your experience :) see you around!

Interesting hybrid. I have Solstice Power set still with me so might try it. Have you tried fullbed? Do you use Revolve mainly for the comfort ?

@@dandan.tennis Yeah I had a full bed of Solstice and didn't like it. Too stiff. The Revolve softens it up and, I think, adds pocketing. The Revolve is also slick and got better snap back.. Should mention is it Revolve Spin.

If it works it works :) dont change the winning team! I havent tried the newest gravity tour. The previous version was kinda anemic and boring although much easier to play with. Gravity Pro is exciting and inspiring to play with :) ❤

@@dandan.tennis I’m of mindset that I won’t know if another raquet is better for me unless I try it. If the SW of GP was a bit lower (even if they went to 99 sq in) , it may be perfect for me. As it is I love it. But playing with the Boom Pro and Blade 98 sometimes is just great. Both are a close 2nd to the Gravity. Decisions.

@@bigdaddy812 well, the rumours are that we are going to see gravity 98 in 16x19 option :)

@@dandan.tenniswith a 19 mm beam and what weight? 310 g would be peeeeerfect!

@@bigdaddy812 i have no idea. all on tt forum :)

Feel of the racquet is top of the top. Sweet spot could be defined a little bit better but its hard to do so in 100” frames. What strings are your favourite ?

is it 18x20? I think for me it would be too tight.

❤ i am happy as well, this format might be something I will establish. Big thanks for the feedback as it helps me understand in what direction I can move next.

What string are you using ? :)

Volkl Classic Syn Gut at 54/51#. Neither sexy, nor painful. Besides I don't need poly; I get more spin from forearm pronation!

Nope. I dont plan to test Babolat but maybe one day…not usually my type of frames

Havent tried it. A bit old news 😅 However 360 + edition imo was a turning point for Head where things started to work again. ❤

@@dandan.tennis auxetic is too muted for me

They are very very similar. The 360+ prestige pro is the same as the auxetic prestige tour. The name difference apart they play very very similar. The auxetic is not a big difference and I cannot even feel it most times. The connection and feel is top notch.

not much, a bit more solid/uniform in feel. more "focused". Performance to me is pretty much the same (not worth the money), just tweaking the feel (actually might be worth here)

@@dandan.tennis sounds good. I’ve got the previous one. Real nice stick and wasn’t sure what else they could do to improve it.

@@Phoniq 🏆Yap. The sweet spot is a bit better. You feel a bit more what you are doing with the ball.

true,true. but so far the reviews were so so...and every user eventually moved to the Tour or Pro.

What are your top 3 racquets? TF40 315 is indeed perfect in feel and control. I would appreciate more stability and power on serves

🍺

Testowałem HD. Fajny ale ciężko rywalizować. Radical MP jest niezły bo lekki ale wciąż stabilny i ma spoko dostęp do rotacji. Jestem już mocno przyzwyczajony do cięższych rakiet wyważonych na rączkę więc biorę pod uwagę tylko radical pro. Niby whiteout też wpada w tą samą kategorie ale mają odważniki które bardzo łatwo podmieniać i można szybko sobie ustawić balans. Percept 97 blisko, blisko! Ale TF40 wypełnione pianką bardziej mi się podoba na czuciu. Chociaż Percept jest solidniejszy i jest zapas na doważenie…podobne rakiety.

@@dandan.tennis teżwłaśnie jestem przyzwyczajony do cieższej rakiety bo ta 97hd ma 320g plus dorzuciłem troche ołowiu na godzine 12 główki by dodać powera. No teraz mam zagwozdke bo wszystkie 3 bym i tak dociążył, a ze gram 1hbh i all court to nie moge szaleć z grubością ramy :P i tak mam te trzy rakiety na celowniku chodz najbardziej mi tu leży whiteout z czego poczytałem na necie ktory chyba ma najwiecej darmowej mocy, bym obstawial ze radical mp ma najmniej a percept gdzieś pomiedzy.

@@Invesre Percept 97 ma najmniej powera z nich wszystkich ale powinien pasować jednoręcznym. W teorii cieńsza rama i balans na rączkę pomaga :) może extreme tour. Niedługo wychodzi nowy model ! Nowy Extreme tour będzie się nazywał extreme pro

@@dandan.tennis a slyszałem ze ma być nowy extreme, ale to raczej zbyt szalona rama :p Nie przepadam za rakietami typowo spinowymi bo z moim fh za bardzo piłe podnosi jak jest przelot zbyt rzadki i czesto długie piły wywalam. Miałem kiedys yonexa ezone ai 100, i cieżko było panować nad taka bestią ;D vcore pro 97 hd jest spoko kontrola tylko jak pisałem po godzine padasz :D

@@Invesre tecnifibre TF40 315 18x20 będzie łatwiejszy od HD jeśli chcesz mieć łatwiej ale ten sam styl. Jeszcze Head Speed Pro jest dużo bardziej przyjazny do gry i może go bym zobaczył na pierwszym miejscu szukając naturalnego przejścia z HD ale jednak utrzymując podobną trajektorie lotu i ogólna dynamikę uderzeń (chociaż w speed pro jest większa ale to jest ten czynnik pomagający)

Hejka, zależy czy TF40 305 czy 315 bo są pewne różnice. Ale biorąc 305 żeby mieć porównywalne parametry to TF40 będzie miał więcej kontroli, jest bardziej „tradycyjną” rakietą, odpowiednik Blade’a trochę. Z kolei Tfight 305 jest nieco bardziej „współczesnym” modelem, powiedzmy blade w stronę speeda albo ezone. Większy odskok, łatwiejsza rotacja, łatwiejszy serwis. Z TF40 ma lepsze czucie, ma lepszy slice i łatwiej uderzać płaskie bomby (niższa trajektoria lotu). Tfight jest bardziej „uniwersalny” ale jego parametry są nieco trudniejsze dla mniej doświadczonych zawodników. Lubię obie rakiety ale uniwersalność tfight 305 nieco bardziej mnie przekonuje.

It's an unfortunate story. I've invested a lot of time and money to figure out my tournament specs with the tc95 model. I had so many Angell racquets...I had 1 "perfect" TC95 with specs 320g/310mm/295 SW. At that time I had also another backup with 292 sw that felt a bit too fast (not enough plow through). In the past I also had one with 297 SW and 305 SW (felt too heavy in certain situations)... So I had a quite specific order as I wanted to stock up on my tc95 collection. I asked for the SW range between 293 min. to 295 max. knowing that everything above could be too heavy and below too fast (when compared to my "perfect" main tc95) instead I got models at 296 and 297 which was slightly disappointing but I thought there shouldnt be a problem adjusting however i did struggle on my serve and overall the power level was a bit higher and acceleration a bit worse.... on top of that - once I gave my beloved tc95 to a pro-shop to replace the lead with silicone (coz I had 2 grams of lead under the grip. but asked them to keep the specs the same. They applied too much silicone and ruined the feel that I had on my swings (timing) on top of that brexit made me pay 60 gbp more. but I ended up with 1 "ruined" tc95 and two models above my preferred specs so I no longer had my main tc95 and no budget to go through this process again. I tried to adjust but the magic spark was gone. I love the concept of finding "as heavy" specs as possible without going too heavy... TC95 is amazing but it's.a very specific racquet. a bit tricky as the launch angle is crazy high but i think this was also the reson why i was so good with it. I might get one at some point to see how far I went with those reviews. a slightly more forgiving tc95 with a slightly tighter string pattern could be the best racquet on the planet! :) every change is a potential room for improvement. I learned a lot with tc95 about me, my game and my preference. So maybe it's worth trying something else (but I need a very specific racquet as well!)

@dandan.tennis have you tried aero 98? I used prestige tour in past , ezone 98,gravity pro, vcore pro 97... the aero 98 is my main stick now but I'm looking for 16x19 70RA 95 INCH ...V3 tc95 is only racket with that spec...which version were your tc95?

@@mteca5093 Hey, i havent. Not sure if I want to try Babolat frames. Its been a while I last tried any but to me their DNA is totally different to what I usually use. Too responsive with not enough touch/feel/control/comfort. Its a good brand for the attackers that want to close the point fast. I invest in patience, tactic and mindgames kinda 🤔 think Murray, Djokovic, Agassi type of game. Angell despite being responsive has amazing feel and touch (one of the best on the market). I tried 63ra version and this allowed me to use stiff strings without any issues. I have No idea how 70ra could feel or perform. I would only imagine that the response might get a bit more jumpy but direct with slightly lower launch. Imo 63ra tc95 is angell’s best racquet and it can challenge most of the other control oriented racquets from other brands mainly because on top of that feel and control you also get the spin and power potential. I had cooper, octane and the one before the cooper (dont know if it had any name - it was black with some grey)

​@@dandan.tennisaero 98 is only babolat frame I can use and not have elbow pain ..it has flax fibers and after I did some research I found out that flax is best to filter out bad vibrations...demo it or try a friend's....I also come from prestige frames but this Aero98 is different. I use hyper g soft 1.20mm or yellow 1.25mm poly tour pro... I switched cause prestige had no power... I don't want 2.5 hour matches anymore . I'm over 40 so I want a powerful prestige 70RA 16x19...I like softer poly so 70RA I doable for me.... any suggestions rackets?

Hajnówka dzięki ! :p

I like it but not sure if enough to kick something out from the tournament. I will review it eventually. Percept 97 and Tecnifibre TF40 315 16x19 are very very close. Percept 97 slightly stiffer, more stable. TF40 more forgiving, more spin but a bit anemic in stock form - but better feel.
