i'm not ever going to watch another racket review that fails to compare the racket to at least 3 other rackets. this is extremely useful.

@icemandl6 Год назад

LOVE this format! I also liked the tester’s honesty and very in-depth analysis as to why a racquet has or hasn’t worked out.

@remsgrinsteins Год назад

James was so funny as he was stressing during the interviews 😆

@christianolsson834 Год назад

Fantastic format and very in depth but still easy to comprehend. Everything said I could agree on to certain extent. Well done! And what a great player! 👍

@ykc16888 Год назад

This is probably the first review I ever watched that a reviewer said the racquet is outright bad, this is the type of honesty we need! We all know racquet is quite a personal thing so just say it outright. My game style is closer to Alice's so I value her optinion more.

@jerome_morrow Год назад

Another excellent comparative review. Great format to keep on rolling! 👍

@tripleS88 Год назад

Brilliant review format - keep up the good work!

Great as always

@nd7434 Год назад

Great review video. I also love the vcore 97 pro 310. I found it to really shine after adding some lead at 10 and 2.

@thefridgeman Год назад

Instead of that, I went with the 97D and discovered that I actually play better with the 18x20 string pattern. Strung with PolyTour Rev, it's a dream.

@davidjefferies9214 Год назад

Great choice! I love my Vcore Pro 97!

@berfava Год назад

wow, AMAZING idea, this is much much better than all other racket review videos which I feel they all seem like a sellers pitching. This is absolutely differenciated as other viewers put, I agree 100%.

@allthingstennis Год назад

Glad you liked it!

@chansuri608 Год назад

Love this kind of content

@JovanniG678 Год назад

I would love to see an average joe player playtest and pick a racket, like an adult who has only played for four or five years or something. Maybe i missed that video but, it would be fun to see.

@jonathanchen1026 Год назад

Went from blade v6 no cv 16x19 to speed pro, perfect transition for me and feels great!

@allthingstennis Год назад

Thanks for sharing, I rate that too, we want to be honest and never sell a story that every racket is the one for you. We never want to be tennis warehouse 😆😆😆

@jfivecu Год назад

Haha yea the tennis industry is far behind golf when it comes to being able to demo and test - makes this content more valuable

@amirjon Год назад

Went from a blade v8 to an ezone 100. Couldn't be happier. Less the wrist pain..

@michaellee888 Год назад

Yes, Yonex racquets do have one of the best if not the best quality control. I used to use Wilson and there was one stick that I love, but when it broke, I could not find another stick that matched that "feel." Yonex racquets, I find have great quality, every Yonex is nearly identical. The other brand for me that had similar quality control was Prince. I tried Babolot, and they have good quality control, but I could not control the power and for the control racquets, I cannot get enough power.

@dastanprobg2071 Год назад

Its true actually, with pure drive you have no control and with aero you have no power.

@ultimpower9350 7 месяцев назад

aero no power? What are you smoking @@dastanprobg2071

@MuhammadKhan-fu3cq Год назад

surprised you didn't go regular pure strike, much closer to his regular spec n the extra power compared to the blade probably clutches up in doubles

@bsinghgill Год назад

Surprised you didn’t throw in the V Core Pro 97D into the play test. That’s an 18x20 string pattern.

@lucasoscar Год назад

i used to play with youtek radical pros (stock leather grip) and they weighted like the prestige weights today, any idea why each line seem to got a little lighter?

@s41magazine37 Год назад

Guys, I tried all of these and went for the Dunlop CX200. Please add the CX to your next racket tests...

Which CX200?

@s41magazine37 Год назад

@@mayw33d which what?

@deathlotus1 Год назад

@@s41magazine37 I think he’s asking if it’s one of the tours or the standard 305g

@s41magazine37 Год назад

It's the standard CX200. 305g, 16x19, 98inch head. I may add a slither of lead tape at 3 and 9.

@tripleS88 Год назад

I second this comment. I play with the Dunlop/Srixon CX200 Tour 18x20 (95sq inch version). It is a seriously underrated racquet - best of breed control racquet in the market in my opinion.

Juego con 3 marcas de raquetas diferentes, la head radical 285g,Wilson ultra 310g,Prince(Patrick rafter) ,mi nivel es amateur,tengo que quedar con una sola raqueta, que se adapta a mi juego????

@SaqibSheikh 3 дня назад

These are so good. Why did u stop

@bigrobsydney Год назад

And again, Yonex for the win. Not mentioned though, was the quality control of Yonex. Miles ahead of the Made in China sticks. A professional will want to have several sticks, and getting them from the factory to be nearly identical is a huge benefit to a pro.

@allthingstennis Год назад

Agreed the quality control is the best. We dont want to lead the pro in any direction on the day, super important info for the consumer though agreed!

@blaynewilson1549 Год назад

Getting them from the factory to be nearly identical is huge for an amateur/ club player. Pros will more than likely customize all their rackets either with a company or on their own (adding lead, silicone in the handle etc) anyways so having them as close to same spec as possible isn't a big deal. Amateurs who are more likely to use the frame stock from factory benefit the most from quality control. Although amateurs are probably far less likely to notice the subtle differences between two rackets that are just a few grams of each other

@Jingoa Год назад

I've tried all these (and the CX 200 and many more) and have ended up with the Technifibre ISO 305--it's just special.

@peterlappland Год назад

Techni feels so good to just pick up and hold in the hand, like a rolls 🤓

@ers87 Год назад

So, Yonex Vcore Pro 97 or Wilson Pro Staff 97?

@babbo507 Год назад

what do you string the rackets with?

@allthingstennis Год назад

Mainly Solinco - but All Poly at 53lbs. Sometimes multiple string setups within the same racket as we have lots of demos

Y not yonex v core 97d?

@stringsbymanny2746 Год назад

Should have strung the prestige at 48lbs or below due to it’s tight string pattern.

@tennnis498 Год назад

Yes. I used to play with the Prestige for many years. Power is hard to come by.

@vishalbhobe Год назад

Surprised you didn’t compare the ezone 98 Tour with the other racquets

@allthingstennis Год назад

Wasn't in the UK at the time

@viktorbenedek868 Год назад

You should string the Prestige much lower. Poly on high tension kills the Prestige feel.

@allthingstennis Год назад

Yeah very good point. It's amazing in the 40's. But also people are quick to point out you need the same type of string at the same tension so we can't win 😆

@viktorbenedek868 Год назад

@@allthingstennis for a starting point maybe. But to judge the racquet, you have to use the "racquet compatible" string and tension. A lifetime would be enough for that not a short or long playtest :D

@RigMaster_ Год назад

I love the channel, great vids. The only contructive feedback I'd give is I find it a bit annoying when the player is talking and you say "yup" all the time while they're talking. Otherwise keep up the great work!

yup... watching this back after your comment made me cringe 😅 will definitely take this into consideration for our next video 😄

@chamonix54 2 месяца назад

Does he use the blade 16x19 or 18x20?

@allthingstennis 2 месяца назад

16x19

@bengray5013 Год назад

Pure strike VS is 16x20 not 16x19

@adamdvx1604 Год назад

Funny that the 2 racquets with Hyper-gG strings are #1 and #2. Surely it's more valid if you keep the same string in each test? Seems quite a waste of time if not.

@gowzahr Год назад

James at the beginning of the video: This is a bad racquet and your a bad person if you like it. James by the end of the video: This racquet is great for X, but my game is based around Y, so I'll not be picking it for this round. I can help but imagine that he had some coaching on how to give more constructive criticism in between rounds.

What good is the test if every racket has different strings in it? You’ve got a guy with ATP points hitting the ball, so do the test right. It’s called the scientific method.

My Head TI Instinct Comp is 10.5 oz and $30 at WalMart. Gosen sheep micro 16ga.-17ga. hybrid at $10 and stringing by others at $25. Anything more expensive is a conspiracy by the tennis industry.

Each to their own, there's a reason pro's don't use that, but that said enjoy your tennis!
