I suppose this one is the most underestimated racket not only for Babolat range, but for the whole market. Been using this frame for almost a year now. Its combination of unique touch, control and a decent amount of spin makes it a versatile weapon for me. Paired mine with Solinco Tour Bite 1.3. Recently, I've tried playing with my old rackets, pro staff v13 (315), blade 18x20 and pure strike 16x19 - none of them compares to this racket for my style of playing. I'd also mention an outstanding manoeuvrability which is super helpful for my one-hander. Now I'm stocking up with these frames) Glad you liked the racket too giving it the attention it certainly deserves.

@gilmillan1909 10 месяцев назад

Hey, your comment about this racquet and your comparison with Pro Staff, Blade and Pure Strike caught my attention, I also have a one-handed backhand and I'm looking for a good control racquet that offers a little more punch, spin and feel. I am completely open to customizing it to make it more stable, especially on my backhand, to be able to attack and define more points with authority against heavy hitters. I would like to know if you added any lead to the racket? because in my opinion and according to many of the reviews this can be considered a platform racket, but with more power than the Yonex Percept 97 or Vcore 95, Dunlop CX Tour series. Greetings.

@dmitriilin8228 10 месяцев назад

@@gilmillan1909 Hey! Yes, I did add lead to the racket. 2 grams for 12 and about 6 grams right under the buttcap. This made the racket a bit more stable against those heavy hitters. Plus, I got it moving event faster through the air. The total weight now is 348 grams since my sample came overspec'd

@k3suk3 Год назад

not too long ago I asked you about the Head Radical MP. I ended up buying the Strike VS. It is freaking forgiving for a 97 frame, way more than the Prostaff 97 and it swings so easy. I have been playing with this one for about 3 months now and I love it. I paired it with Tecnifibre Razor Soft and it has a lot of control and, at least to me, feels super easy on the arm.

First, I love your channel! Informative and entertaining- keep up the good work! Second, I demoed that racquet and really loved it, (it’s gorgeous and has great feel and control) but was just a bit heavy for me (was wearing out my shoulder) so I my shop recommended I try the Head Radical Auxetic MP - and blammo - I’m a Radical guy - now trying to find the right string to increase spin!!

@Mark-go7rg Год назад

Hey Beckett! Quick question from a long time lurker; How can you compare the VS's forgiveness / sweet spot to the Pure Aero 98? For sure its smaller, but how much smaller? Im kinda strugling between those two atm...I love the Aero's stability, but this VS is just such a versitile and precise racket...Im playing with a Poly Tour Pro (due to arm issue prevention and plush feel). Also, are you planning to make a whole video about the VS? Would love to see your take on it. Thanks for the reply in advance, and keep up the great work!

@TennCom Год назад

I'm not exactly sure what's to come with the PSVS tbh. I personally find the PSVS to be more fun to hit with because of that feel and precision. That's enough for me to prefer it in a lot of ways to the PA98. I haven't matched mine for SW, but I bet the power and stability would increase a lot if you got the PSVS up to like 330 SW.

@nakmuay5034 11 месяцев назад

@mr.clutch987 10 месяцев назад

This racquet is so good i bought two. However... I tried the new vcore 95 and fell in love with that so i sold one lolol . Love them both.. only thing with VS for me is that it doesnt have as much pop/power vs the vcore95 but vcore95 lacks the precision the PSVS has haha cant have it all 😢

@TennCom 10 месяцев назад

thats funny i feel so much more controlled with the VC95 and I felt like the PSVS gave me more free power and stability. I think you made the right choice though the VC95 is such a nice frame.

@yatuducheeez 10 месяцев назад

How does it compare to the VCore 95 2023? Comfort/arm-friendliness being important to me. Currently preferring the Vcore Pro 97 2021 to the Vcore 95 because of comfort even though it's less powerful even with added weight. Thanks!

@TennCom 10 месяцев назад

They are close. The 95 is probably a little plusher and feels a lot faster through the air. The PSVS has more stability and is probably easier to use with more free power. I don't think the comfort on the PSVS is enough of a departure from the VC95 that you would suddenly start having problems unless it also lead to a technical change in your swing.

@gabrielsales6687 11 месяцев назад

How does it feel compared to the Extreme Tour in terms of power/spin/control?

@born_hard9705 Год назад

This racket needs some weight at rhe hoop in my opinion to raise stability and power. Also i recommend to tey thinner strings 1,15mm or 1,20mm to increase the sweet spot. If your arm can handle the stiffness, ita a great racket. But to be fair it has to be said, its still a stiff Babolat. Its on the lower end of the Babolat spectrum and therefore a more comfortable Babolat, but the Head Extreme Tour is much nore comfortable.

The flex of 63 (strung), the headlight balance and the swing-weight, suggest to me a control stick for advanced players with full and fast swing and own power.

Can you please help me out. I’m wanting a lower power frame to achieve a 332 swing weight with a 321 static weight with a balance around 32cm. I need help finding a frame that can be customized to this spec. I prefer head but am willing to try something else if need-be. I’d really appreciate it if you’d be able to help me out with this. Thank you so much for you time!

You'll need to go with something lighter, like a Team version, to get that high of a SW with that low of a static weight. I think the old Graphene 360 Radical MP can get close to that spec, but its rare to get such a polarized frame.

@@TennCom I tried with a speed team, the issue was the power rating. It’s like a 700 on the head scale thing. I want like a 400. The spec I’m trying to achieve is Sinners spec but subtracting like 6 sw points and about 4 static weight points. Not too concerned on balance as his balance is 33.3 which is basically 0pts headlight. The Tgt301.4 is nonexistent. I saw one for $1400 😂

@@joseppi4cinqua power rating doesn't mean that much. They just use it as a guideline. Especially with the larger CPI's, they are just marketed as powerful for lower level players. I think the Radical Team still has a thinnish beam.

@@TennCom I hear you thank you so much. I’m a bit afraid of going down to a 98 but I may try this out. Appreciate your insight.

how do you still feel about this nowdays, Beckett?

@TennCom 10 месяцев назад

I just hit it again earlier this week after leaving it in my bag for several weeks. Still really nice and would need to dial in specs to really give it a proper go against the whiteout

@TheDaviSingh 10 месяцев назад

How would you compare this to the Pure Aero 98?

@TennCom 10 месяцев назад

It's like a better feeling, less stable and less powerful PA98. Spin is largely similar.

@nakmuay5034 9 месяцев назад

No PA98 is much more spinny

In pics I think it looks 🔥 but when I got one in my hands I thought it looked super tacky. I couldn’t use that racquet based off the looks alone. Funny how different peoples tastes can be.
