The Artengo TR960 Control Tour 16x19 tennis racket is the best cheap control oriented racket with Wilson Pro Staff 97 and Head Prestige feel and precision. The racket has super easy manooovrlbity in stock form. Everyone can enjoy it. From beginners to intermediate and advanced players. And it's great if you want to improve in the future, because this racket is the best customizable low powered racket for the best money. If you customize it with some lead tape (and I higly recommend it) in the head, you will turn the racket into a proper players stick with great stability and impressive plowthrough. Check out my full review of the stock & customized version of this racket. P.S: Don't forget to check out your local Decathlon store for availibility!

I bought 4 Artengo TR960 control tour 16x19😂 I love it, it has got same feeling as Head Pro Tour 630. Not an easy racquet but I love it! Thank You Tennis guy and thank you Artengo for making it

@kkdumdum Год назад

As a owner of the 16x19 and 18x20 I can say that this even better in 18x20 (for my taste) more precise a little bit less powered oriented but as equivalent as my vcore 95 2021. Amazing job from Decathlon...half price of the market ... unbelievable

@Seeesong Год назад

Hello, have you customized frame on 18x20 as well, as it said in this video?

@jgads1355 2 года назад

This is just a phenomenal racquet. Glad you found the spin - I remember being surprised when you said there was a lack of it on your “first impression.” For me the spin is wild on this one. In a good way. You can really use it to carve angles and push the opponent off the court. Great for serves too.

@CzechTennisGuy 2 года назад

Coming from a 645 cm2 it is always hard to find the spin on a 630 cm2 racket. I had to change my swing path a little bit, starting with the head more up and letting it fall more down. Now I can spin it really massively. Great racket that can do some damage even to guys playing with Pro Staff 97. I think it's an instant classic racket and a must buy for collectors. Thanks for your comment.

@jonatashaeuser9865 Год назад

I just used one for the first time today. Man, I'm in love! Serves were awesome.. one hand backhand full of power and control.

nice bro i bought this racket for INDIAN RUPEES 6600 VERY VERY cheap as compare to its quality where as other brands cost me 15000 to 22000 INR . ITS GREAT RACKET. i use aero rafa , prostaff v13 , yonex ezone 100 and wilson clash also. till now ezone suits me most now i will try this racket. thanks for giving true advice.😀 i am tenNis lover and collects rackets which player uses. like KYRIOS USES EZONE , RAFA USES AERO RAFA , FED USES PROSTAFF, NOW MONFOLIS ARTENGO TR960. i admire these players and also take help from you people.

@yannisk8584 2 года назад

I have been playing for over 15 years tennis and I was curious enough to buy this racket. As an advanced player it’s an amazing feeling with it after a few hits. You can easily get 2 rackets eyes closed!

@alexcarpen3201 Год назад

6 grams in the head of the racquet might feel good but i dont recommend leaving it as is. It can lead to wrist pain. You should at least add 6 in the handle. I would personally go with 10 - leather grip. But its really easy to test, just add another grip and see if you like the weight. It will help with the spin and the kick on the serve as the head will be lighter relative to the handle. Im glad you like, im really curious about it even though i dont think i will switch from my pro stock Prestige to this. Not because i believe the pro stocks are better, simply because i know they are the exact same in weight balance swing weight and already tailored to my hitting style

@joaopedromagalhaes1136 2 года назад

I´ve been playing with this racket since mid April, anda at first i thought it was a bit underpowered, without a lot of spin, and a bit "strange" to play with, but... the more i play with it, the better it gets. With some small adjustments it´s getting better and better. To take the best out of this racket i had to adjust my grip slightly to hit the ball a little flatter, specially in my backhand. I´ve put some weight (4-6gr) in the head at 9-15 position and decreased the string tension from 24 to 23kg. Daaaammmmnnnnn... i´m loving it. The power is there, the spin is there (and if want to, it creates a lot of spin), the control and feel is awesome. I´m not an expert or advanced player, more of an intermediate, but this racket somehow it´s working for me right now, and a lot of others didn´t. Great review

@CzechTennisGuy 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing your experience, which is exactly like mine. Good point with the string tension. I made a mistake recently. I strung the racket at 25/24 kg as I do with my 645 cm2 racket and the racket feels dead. It takes two hours before the strings start to work. So as you mentioned, if you want the racket to be powerful right from the start, lower the tension about -2 kg and it's a blast. The spin gets better with lower tension, too. Recently I've put another 2 g at 12 o'clock and I like it even more now. Another great point is the grip. I did it the same way. I hold it like Federer, with almost eastern grip. I hit rather flat, but when I need spin, it is there and it is massive. For players who are used to western or semi-western grip, this might be an issue.

@joaopedromagalhaes1136 2 года назад

@@CzechTennisGuy i´ve restringed the racket this week again to try a different setup. I´ve stringed it with 24kg but increased the weight on the head from 4 to 8gr to see if i can find a good balance between power and control... If it works i´ll let you know.. if don´t i´ll restring it again but at 22kg.

I don't need another racquet at the moment but I switched to Decathlon house brand apparel for quality-price reasons. I used to buy a particular Japanese brand's clothing until prices started to head skyward, probably due to they having to pay some Swiss guy who, while admittedly one helluva player, didn't make the clothing any more higher value just by wearing them.

@CzechTennisGuy Год назад

You mean that Swiss guy who retired recently. Ok, I see. Yes, I have some clothes from Decathlon store and particularly tennis t-shirts, polo's, are great quality and I like them very much. No need to invest in t-shirts with expensive logo's.

@lalaromero8907 Год назад

I agree!!! I bought two artengo racquets. Power and spin, and spin pro. Also artengo balls are extremely fast and durable compared to slazenger, ao, wilson tour.

@CzechTennisGuy Год назад

The Slazenger balls are average according to my testing. They have good visibility. I like the Australian Open from Dunlop, they feel premium and are easy to play with and they are quite durable. The only problem I have with them is sometimes I don't have enough control on them and they can fly all over the place without really knowing what's going on, which is strange. I did not try the Wilson Tour balls, yet.

@TagmatonDomestikon 4 месяца назад

Awesome racket. I came from a Tecnifibre tfight rs 305 which has the tiniest sweetspot out of any racket I've used which made for a fun challenge and helped improve my game. The TR960 Tour 16x19 is slightly down on power in comparison but much larger sweetspot and more spin friendly. I really enjoy it a lot and for the price it's a no brainer. I'm actually using artengo ta990 strings at the moment only because the workshop at the Decathlon store had one already strung up at 52lbs that a customer earlier that day had changed his mind on, so they offered it to me at no extra cost. The ta990 strings are actually great and I prefer them over Solinco Hyper G Soft which is what I typically have been using. For a smooth round polyester string they are probably what I will use from now on especially given the price. Though I will be trying a hybrid setup soon with MSV hepta twist mains and Head Velocity MLT crosses.

@janmacak3010 2 года назад

Prednedávnom som si kúpil raketu od Artenga s označením TR990 Power Pro, ktorú by mala používať Daria Kasatkina a musím povedať, že som urobil dobre, raketa je výborna, prvé hry neboli najlepšie, ale zvykol som si na ňu a som veľmi šťastný, údery viem kontrolovať, raketa sa perfektne ovláda, presnosť je vysoká a o sile ani nehovorím, proste fantázia. Od Artenga mám aj oblečenie aj obuv na tenis a musím potvrdiť, že tieto produkty sú taktiež na vysokej úrovni, veľmi pohodlné a všetko, čo k tomu patrí. Ďakujem decathlonu a najmä Artengu za skvelú prácu, ktorú odvádzajú, táto značka bude veľkou konkurenciou pre iné značky tenisu svojími viac, než rozumnými cenami a vysokou kvalitou.

@CzechTennisGuy 2 года назад

Díky za komentář. Artengo začíná být velký konkurent zavedeným značkám, které se snad chytnou za nos a začnou své produkty, rakety především, nabízet za lidovější ceny. Já osobně jsem si nikdy nekoupil novou raketu, tahle Artengo byla moje první fungl nová raketa. A to hraji tenis více jak 30 let. Rakety jsem vždy dostával použité od svého strýce nebo jinde z druhé ruky. Osobně jsem si řekl, že do "nové" rakety nikdy nebudu investovat více jak 3 tisíce Kč. To je mé zlaté pravidlo, kterého se držím. S Artengo jsem v limitu a nadmíru spokojený.

@HazenDThorne 2 года назад

Great video - I watched all of these reviews of the Control Tour in sequence from unboxing to first impressions to this one. Not gonna lie, your first impressions video made me kinda nervous, but this video and your love for the racket has me buying this racket on release day. The description that this racket is similar to the Head Prestige and Wilson Pro Staff is exactly what I was looking for. Other reviewers have compared it to the H16 or Wilson Ultra, which is similar to those other two rackets, but your direct comparison gives me better hope! Will be purchasing this in the 16x19 to give me a different (but similar) feel to my 18x20 prestige (which is actually a liquid metal, so I'll be upgrading for the first time in about 15 years!) Thank you for your in depth review and support of this racket as you helped me on my racket changing journey perfectly- I could not justify the price of the Head, Wilson, or Yonex, but the Artengo is right in the sweet spot - what I would expect to pay for a players racket - 10 years ago. Ps. Love the customization, will likely do the same. Reminds me of the Wilson tech at 3 and 9. :)

@HazenDThorne 2 года назад

OH! And according to Decathlon USA customer service, the 960 control tour 16x19 will be available for purchase in the US online on August 22nd. :)

@CzechTennisGuy 2 года назад

Thank you! What a great comment. I always enjoy when people write long comments with their stories. That makes me enjoy what I'm doing even more. I'm not sure why some people compare this Artengo racket to the Wilson Ultra, which is completely different - different shape, beam width, power and precision. The Ultra is a power racket. This Artengo is really close to the rackets I mentioned and even it has some Blade 98 feel. I hope you will enjoy the racket. After the customizing I felt in love with it.

I got one, strung it at 38 pounds with 17 gauge poly, put some lead tape on the tip, awesome frame. Getting 3 more. My goal is to attempt to emulate the weight and balance point of my old Slazengers, which I don't know how to do.

@CzechTennisGuy Год назад

The best thing you can do is buying a balance board. Measure balance of your old Slazenger rackets and try to copy/paste it with the new customized Artengo racket. Just try and fail and try again, it's fun. Good luck with it.

@mlbaker40 Год назад

@@CzechTennisGuy hi, so this is my set up. First I built a balance board, why not. And to be honest with you it didn't really help me. For me it's all about the feeling I get in my hand. I have added two strips of 1/4 inch lead tape on the tip. I start at 3 strings out on each side from the purple center mark. I added 4 strips at the 3 and 9 position. I start at 8 strings down from the tip and end 8 strings up from the throat. I am string with 18 gauge Genesis trionic on the cross and 17 gauge ytex purple triangle twisted. I'm really pleased with the stick. Also, I noticed that the crosses sit much more spread out than some other 16 x 19 98 frames, and I think that this opens up the pattern and it's quite nice. Unbelievably both frames are 326 grams. Thankyou for your work and your recommendation. If you ever want to stay in Florida, at my house, hit me up. I have a clay tennis court with lights.

@CzechTennisGuy 2 года назад

I'm not surprised that the price is higher in the US. Usually we are paying more in Europe for tennis equipment like rackets, strings and mostly tennis balls. But this racket is getting very popular all over the world so they want to make some extra money from this big demand. I think it's a real price for the racket. Still a lot cheaper than Blades, Prestige or Pro Staffs. Enjoy the racket!

@xXshinkokyuuXx 2 года назад

Hi!! I adquired the TK960CT 18x20 recently and today i played 3 hours with it. First impressions: horrible. I feel like i have more control, sure, but i need to push like dam hell to get the ball going at a desirable speed. I strung it with Luxilon at 22kg. Sometimes the ball gets like "stuck" in the racket and if i don't put enough topspin behind it, it stays in the net or just gets to the other side with low weight behind it. Also, i noticed the grip is like more small. I purchased a 2 and even with overgrip i feel like i need to put another one. Good things: slices were very good and the volleys as well (well, the ball was like kinda dead once it hit my racket with any of these so... It was good) and surprisingly, the racket generates lots of topspin if played correctly, i was very very surprised. Even though all of this, I wanna test it a little bit more before giving a final opinion. Was 3gr of lead tape at 9 and 3 your go-choice? Do you also recommend 2-3gr at 12? What do you recommend at its fullest? I really have the impression that i need some weight in the racket so it starts working Thank you very much for your videos.

@CzechTennisGuy 2 года назад

Thank you for your great analysis. I had the same feelings about the racket. When I customized it, almost every of the negative things you mentioned dissapeard. I played with the racket yesterday with my good friend who plays with Pro Staff 97 and he is a big hitter. I felt sometimes under pressure too much and maybe I will add some more lead into the hoop at 12 o'clock. I will maybe change it like this: instead of 3 g at 3|9 o'clock, I will put 2 g at 3|9|12 o'clock. Total of 6 g. I feel like at some strokes when I'm defending the racket doesn't help me too much accelerate it back, so I think that adding more weight into 12 o'clock can improve the plowthrough dramatically. My best shots with this racket now are the slice, volleys and serve. Thanks for your story and leave me a comment when you customize your racket. Good luck.✌

The Precision racket is for someone who still learns tennis, enthusiastic beginners or intermmediate players, but the Control Tour is for people who are let's say more complex and on advanced level of tennis or even professionals if well customized.

Hi, I would say the grip shape is similar to Wilson and Head. Maybe more like Wilson. I like it.

@zzturtle9128 2 года назад

In the budget category, how would you compare this with the HEAD reissues. For example, microgel radical MP and Graphene XT Speed MP. They are $99 on TW. Even cheaper than ARTENGO.

@CzechTennisGuy 2 года назад

I can't tell. It's hard to judge a racket I never played with. The question is do they make the racket exactly the same way as before? If yes, it's definitely a good racket for this money. Better than the new Artengo? Who knows. Without real test there is no real answer.

@hazardsoftech Год назад

I wonder how hard getting replacement grommets would be.

@CzechTennisGuy Год назад

There are replacement grommets for the TR960 Precision, but I didn't found any for the Control Tour. But for sure there will be available at some point.

hello I made the following and definitive modification to Artengo: total weight 323 grams (5 of lead at 12 o'clock and Head TK82S shells at the handle) and balance 33.2 complete with everything. It's great, a great racket, better in my opinion than my two Wilson H22 16x19. Could you tell me what inertia the racquet has with these specifications? Thanks you are very strong and nice.

@CzechTennisGuy 2 года назад

Thank you for your comment. I can't tell you the exact swingweight or inertia of your setup, but according to my experience with customizing, the SW of your racket will be around 327 kg/cm2.

How does it compare to raket of year vcore pro and the speed pro....which would you take to tournament play?

@CzechTennisGuy 2 года назад

I would take the Vcore Pro 100 for a serious tournament because it has bigger head and bigger sweetspot. But If I practice little bit more with this Artengo, it might become my main racket.

@mteca5093 2 года назад

@@CzechTennisGuy artengo is 97 inch and so is vcore pro 97 310 ... so how do they compare

@CzechTennisGuy 2 года назад

@@mteca5093 Artengo is 98 inch, 97.6 to be exact. Vcore Pro 97 is more demanding for me and less playful. I feel like the Artengo is quicker in the air and little bit easier to swing with. I also like the grip of the Artengo racket better. The Yonex is too round and feels too big in my hand. But If was playing more aggressive and was a bigger guy overall, the Vcore Pro 97 would be a better option. To sum it up - Artengo is more fun racket to me, easier to play with. Vcore Pro 97 is more of a performance racket for big hitters with less feel.

@griff4155 Год назад

Looks like you skipped 7T,9T and 7H,9H for the mains and tied them off at 6T. Started the crosses at 7H and tied off at 5H and 5T. Correct?

@griff4155 Год назад

Where H = head and T = throat

@CzechTennisGuy Год назад

I don't know how to string so I have a stringer who does it for me. It has 4 knots. One knot at the top at 4th main string, three nots on the bottom. 1 knot at 3rd main string and 2 knots on the other side 3rd & 4th main string. How he starts I don't know, but he is very good and very precise when I measure the tension afterwards, it's exactly how it should be done.

@griff4155 Год назад

@@CzechTennisGuy Thank you for your reply and assistance! It appears we strung it the same way, and you and I are saying the same thing - except you are counting strings from outside in and I am counting strings from inside out! :) thanks again!

@Griff Ok, I see. Good point 😀

@vienle3581 2 года назад

Which one is better? Tfight Iso or this

@CzechTennisGuy 2 года назад

That's not that simple. Both are unique. If I'm physically in shape and have a good day, TFight is a better option. If I'm little bit tired and I want more easy swing, I go with the Artengo racket. Both are great rackets. Tfight definitely more demanding and more powerful, higher swingweight. It's 307 (Artengo stock) vs 331 (Tfight stock). That's a big difference.

@ssportslivetvstreaming Год назад

how is the feel? is it pure graphite?

Yes, it is a full graphite racket.

Both are great. It's like asking apples or bananas.

@TennisOnAction 2 года назад

It's hard other brands cost more then $250 a piece.

@CzechTennisGuy 2 года назад

I think at $150 this Artengo stick is still a very good racket for a reasonable price. I'm really thinking of buying a second one.

It's a great racket even when you are not broke and you have all the money. Go for it.

How this racket compares directly with the ProStaff v13?

@CzechTennisGuy Год назад

To be honest, it compares really well - but only in customized version, at least like I did it. Check out my personal setup for this racket - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hJttarcsl9g.html.
