Making the SWITCH - with Daniel Rutkowski 

Very nice movement around the court!

I think it's a great stick to train with on occasions, to force one to focus on footwork and hitting a clean shot. Then carry that over with one's regular playing stick.

just ordered the tc95 16x19! Super excited to receive it - got it in 330g, 12pt HL. Any other comments you have about it, especially what strings and tension to get would be great

@@ervinlee8324 Hi Ervin. The 16x19 string pattern of the Angell's is really open, which naturally provides good tolerance and a high launch angle. But I found that an aggressive shaped poly like a Hyper G or Confidential would increase the launch angle to the point where it can be a bit erratic. This is noticeable in both the TC100 and TC95. I think that one is better off playing a round poly in these frames. As durability was also an issue with Hyper G and Confidential (massive notching), I initially went with 4G 16 (1.30) strung at 50lbs mains / 48lbs crosses (dropping a couple of lbs on the crosses minimizes notching). This had good durability, great control and good spin (for a round poly), but I found it a bit harsh on the arm. So I went for 4G Soft 16L (1.25) at 50/48, which is just about perfect for my game, and the comfort is markedly better. I feel I could also drop it to 48/46 for a bit more pop and additional plushness. I hope this helps. Also, I noticed you picked a pretty heavy static weight / very HL spec for your TC95. Are you aware that they typically swing higher than other racquets at similar specs, due to the foam filled construction? My TC95 16x19 63RA 310g / 9pt HL has a SW measured at 303 unstrung, which puts the strung SW just above 330. This is what I would have expected from a 320g / 9-10pt HL frame, and while I can handle it, I would not have wanted it any higher.

@@johnnyguitar6697 thanks a ton for the info! Do you find that you’re able to swing fully or do you have to hold back a bit at that tension? How is the control of the 16x19?

@@f5ervin I have no issue swinging fully with the TC95 strung with 4GS at 50/48. Great control, despite the open 16x19 pattern. I couldn't swing as freely with the TC100 with Hyper G / Confidential 16 at 54/52, the ball would sail long unless I put a lot of spin and shape on my shots. The TC95 is a good compromise, for me, in that it it's easy to impart spin if required, but also very good at driving flatter shots. Even at 310g / 9pt HL, it has very good plow through.

@@johnnyguitar6697 Thanks! I can’t wait to hit with it

He does!

i really like velocity mlt. it feels soft

Go to court and ask to hit with someone!

My local club plays doubles twice a week and always needs people to play.

:(

Sure is!

Always string the stiffer string looser. In your case, the Hyper G should be looser. I would say 2-4 lbs máx difference between the looser and the tighter string. In that way you won't deform the head.

@@miguelbarahona6636 exactly. This works in the 95D if you are using a hybrid

I would expect poor durability from a gut in the mains and a square poly in the crosses. The crosses will literally saw in the mains. You'd be much better off with a round poly in the crosses.

@@johnnyguitar6697 yeah

Unorthodox technique, but it works well for him...

@@bengray5013 Yeah, his serve is a little unorthodox but is incredible. Must be a nightmare to return.

16x19 more open pattern and for a guy like that maybe too powerful and not enough touch. Even i struggle with it's power. Vcore pro 97 has better touch and more balanced frame

@@LarzB Ironically, looks like his practice partner is playing with an Ezone 98 :))

@@a2casius I'm not saying the ezone 98 isn't a great racket, is great.. that's why it is in my bag. But if your current racket is a prince 93, then the ezone 98 is not the obvious step, but the vcore pro 97 is. Or one of those new head radicals 360+ 98 Babolat rackets generally are way stiffer than a prince 93, so that is why i wouldn't look into that brand. In Wilson i think the blade as it is a bit more flex than the pro staff which is on the stif side. And as he liked the 18x20 pattern. The vcorepro 97 hd has that same pattern

try Gravity pro

@@bushmenaa i have.. and the gravity mp.. i love head rackets, but the gravity line is the most erratic and unstable line in head and i hate it. I love my head extreme tour and i used to play with head speed pro. And i have a head prestige mid 93 in my bag for practice.
