NEW Gravity MP review here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vPy1c4S6bXA.html Thanks for watching!

@christophersheldon7088 Год назад

Looks like 2023 wins...but any preference between the 2019 model and 2021? We greatly appreciate your video and feedback!!

@tennisviking Год назад

@@christophersheldon7088 honestly, from the first version, I loved the 2019 Gravity Tour, and wished they would release that again in 16x20 string pattern…I think that would be a home run…but I’ve since customized my MP and prefer that over all the other Gravity’s so far👍

@yatuducheeez Год назад

The exact review I was waiting for. Thank you! 🙏

Hi I'm 55 years old from Capetown I used dunlop since 10 years but since I have aged injuries came from dunlops stiff frames... Im currently using my son's gravity mp lite it change my game completely enjoying it very much with no injuries

@jasonbannan4024 5 месяцев назад

I have the original Gravity pro and I love it. Great control, decent power, heavy stability, soft touch. A little tough to generate spin with the dense string pattern, but I am a flatter hitter anyway.

@tennisviking 5 месяцев назад

Yes, I still have that as well laying around, super solid stick 💯

This is my new stick (2021 version) from a V6 Wilson blade before that. Is a massive upgrade for me. I am string 55 pounds but may try dialing it down in future. Its improved my ground strokes and serve a lot

@tennisviking Год назад

Such a solid stick…and yes, agree with the upgrade from the blade…just more freedom and action compared to the blade 💪💪 And good idea slowly lowering tension over time 👊

@Luke-cr9uz Год назад

Hello and thanks for the first online video related to the new Gravity Pro. I couldn't figure it out from the review: does this new version guarantee more ball entry into the stringbed than the previous one?

@tennisviking Год назад

Thanks, they are very similar, with the new one being slightly more stiff….I mean slightly, so just a little more stability when making contact with the ball…string patterns and placement on strings are identical, so you’ll just get that little more stable feeling from the new one….if you like going for your shots, and like being in charge of the points, swinging full out, you’ll like this.

@Mewborne89 Год назад

Finally, been waiting for this review from you for a month or two haha Hoping they have this down at Indian Wells when I go there. It’s my racquet of choice right now and want to switch to the new version if I like it. Great hitting!

@Mewborne89 Год назад

@@Soul_guided I was trying out a few sticks most of last year but ended up with the Gravity pro towards the end of the year and used it ever since. Never used the VS as my stick lol Just had one in my bag for fun. I used the EZ and Tour for a few months but couldn’t jive with the head shape. Been loving the G Pro. Looking forward to the new Auxetic though for sure.

@tennisviking Год назад

Haha yea it was a long time coming since the first teaser vid like 4 months ago 🫣🤣. It yea, it’s a very nice stick and since you like the previous you’ll like this one too…and the paint job and quality of the materials, it feels like a higher end racket than the others out there, you’ll know what I’m talking about when you hold it 👍

@benjabrouss2523 Год назад

Auxetic help for comfort ? I was in love with Gravity Tour 2021, perfect for my game. But sometimes a bite a of pain to my wrist 😢 So i was playing more with VcorePro100 (strung mono Ltec Paradox 19 kgs)

@sterlingrettke5141 Год назад

Loved the video! How does it compare to the V8 Blade (either 16x19 or 18x20) version? Thank you for making this again!

@tennisviking Год назад

Great question. The G. Pro will have a bit more flex and action imo, especially on the stretch . The blade is more stable but lack some punch, unless you can generate power and drive on your own non stop (I can’t 😬😟), so I prefer the G Pro over the blade.

@kamollapasthammachakkul7337 Год назад

U mentioned about putting soft string in the mains for a hybrid setup. What would be ur go to tension for the mains and crosses for a prestige pro auxetic? I'm think of putting x-one biphase in the mains and ice code in the crosses but not sure about the tension. Thank you love ur video.

@tennisviking Год назад

Good question. We string all of our rackets on a Wilson baiardo and it does string tight compared to a crank machine etc. Full bed poly I like around that 42-44lbs range. For a hybrid in the gravity pro for example, I did one back in the day with Multi on mains at 52, and poly on crosses at 50lbs. So I go up on both strings since they will lose a bit more tension quicker. I do believe players in general will have too tight of a string job and will eventually force their swing speed and power instead of using cleaner technique and feel.

@LarzB Год назад

I think the reason that head put auxetic in the gravity line last is that because of the thinner beams and the lower flex, the auxetic only gives minor improvements to the gravity line. I have the gravity mp auxetic since late in oktober and the auxetic version of the gravity mp feels just a tad more solid. I think it does the most for the stiffer frames like the radical. I haven't played with the radical 360+, but i have with the 360 and that felt like a wooden board. The auxetic version is still very direct, but actually i like it this time. Better feel.

@tennisviking Год назад

Good info, thanks for the feedback!

@KiboTennis Год назад

But they started with the Prestige 🤷‍♂️

@LarzB Год назад

@@KiboTennis i know, and on the pro version tennisnerd confirmed that it was a very small nuances difference. Only the pro 18x20 prestige has a low ra. But the tour, mp and mp L have ra of 65 and 66. On top of that the prestige has a skinnier oval shaped hoop, so maybe the auxetic also helps a bit more with feel on the smaller sweet spot with off center hits. I'm just guessing here.

@ATA-wi2lh 10 месяцев назад

What about auxetic vs the original version in terms of feel?

@WaltKurtz68 Год назад

What stuck with me from the reviews I've watched so far is apparently the SWEET SPOT is higher up on the Gravity than on other racquets, so more towards the tip of the stringbed. I have noticed that I hit a lot of balls higher up on the stringbed than I want or aim for. SO the Gravity might be a good match for my technique inadequacy.

@chrisconformed Год назад

Hitting high in the string bed is not a technical inadequacy.. Most modern players including pros hit higher in the string bed. This is common among high spin rate players

@tennisviking Год назад

Yea it’s a wider and bigger sweet spot imo, so sometimes you feel like you hit it perfect but the ball will just fly more…I don’t mind it though since I like some added action 👍 overall very nice stick 👌

@WaltKurtz68 Год назад

@@chrisconformed That actually makes me feel better. I always thought the middle of the stringbed was the sweet spot / place to aim for (horizontally AND vertically). Thanks very much!

@yatuducheeez Год назад

Any poly recommendations for the frame? Still waiting for the Hawk Power to be available in Canada. Thanks!

@tennisviking Год назад

Definitely not too firm of a poly because of the very dense string pattern. Alu Power Soft is one of my favs, it’s a bit softer than the Hawk Power and still has nice pop to it👍

@sharkanalyst 4 месяца назад

Thanks for this video! I've been using the 2021 for a little over a year and love it. I can take huge rips and the ball rarely flies away on me. I just got the 2023, and while the feel is improved, I find it has a lot more power, and the balls fly so far, they need a stewardess! Both are strung with poly mains and multi crosses at 50lbs. Any advice on how I can dial down the power on the 2023? Full ploy at 55lbs? Or would that be too dramatic a change? THANKS!!!

@tennisviking 4 месяца назад

You’re welcome, and thanks for the comment. I would keep your current string setup and string it at 55 to 57 lbs, and see how you like that. If that doesn’t work, then yes try full poly, but don’t string too tight, that can be hard on the elbow/wrist. Lmk how it goes 👊

@sharkanalyst 4 месяца назад

@@tennisviking Awesome! Thanks for the tip. My elbow is already a little twingy, but my blue TheraBand works wonders! 🙂 I switched from a Pure Drive because it was too much power and going to 55lb with a full bed of RPM Blast still didn't bring down the power enough. I suspect I won't have the same issue with the Gravity Pro.

@@sharkanalyst yes, I’m not using the pure drive too much because of my elbow/wrist…that thing is a true power house but very stiff as well.

Slight change, both versions very solid, if you liked the 2021 then you’ll like the new as well….just depends on look and feel. Will upload the MP review soon as well, and customizing that might be very solid as well.

@joshualeifer3335 Год назад

Does it have the more rectangular grip with wider bevel on top/bottom or square with all bevels “similar”?

@tennisviking Год назад

Wider on top and bottom so like more of an oval shape than let’s say octagon

Do you think you can play effectively with the pro on clay?Right now i m on tecnifibre iso 305 .

@tennisviking Год назад

Man that TFight 305 is awesome, I would give the edge to the TFight on clay, you just get a bit more action and rip on the ball…I’ll be playing on clay this summer, so looking forward to that, by far my favorite surface 👍

@brunoalves3736 Год назад

first review out there! can you compare it to other control oriented 100sq inch rackets? (Vcore pro 100, prostaff x, pro staff six one 100...)

@tennisviking Год назад

Those are some solid frames you are mentioning. Good idea for video. The PS X and the Gravity Pro are Same weight and close in feel, but the X has more action on groundies with the more open string pattern. The Gravity Pro you can take bigger cuts and not worry about the ball flying too much.

@brunoalves3736 Год назад

@@tennisviking Thanks a lot for the reply and for the content! I am an advanced played (similar to your level) but I just cant get used to 98s and 97s, so control oriented 100sq inches are the way to go for me. But they are not as popular as the tweener frames or the more marketed 98s and 97s.

@petershort936 Год назад

The question I have is how the Auxetic affects the lighter versions of this racquet. Pro is a great racquet, but at 315 grams it's a load to swing.

@grahamzhang5961 Год назад

Agree. Really want to see the tests of tour or MP versions.

@petershort936 Год назад

@@tennisviking That's the one. I played the Gravity Tour for almost 2 years. It does everything well, but nothing great. The MP was whippier and more spin (16/20 pattern), but too light and unstable. Curious if the Auxetic gives it a bit more oomph to handle bigger shots.

@WaltKurtz68 Год назад

Did anybody test this one with a one handed backhand by any chance? Another video review reported that it's not a good stick for the OHBH at all.

I havent, but I will try next time I play with it. I have a scrappy oney lol but I'll let you know what I think. My fav head stick for oneys is definitely the Boom Pro, at the end of this video, link below, I hit a little bit with it and maybe have a oney or two in there ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vX2aCEKZiNU.html Circle back asap!

@michaeltreis9751 Год назад

I just wanted to ask why you strung the pro at 42 lbs??

@tennisviking Год назад

I like them strung loose in general. I don’t have rapid fire swing speed so the looser tension gives a little more drive. Also the pro is very dense string pattern, which gives a lot of control, so again the needed power from the stringing tension is great. Lastly, we string all of our rackets on a Wilson baiardo used at the us open, it seems to be stringing quite tight. I think you should string as low as possible while still being able to control it under pressure.

@kevinle5460 Год назад

Is this auxetic softer? The gravity pro 2021 gives me arm pain

I do not think its softer, very close but the new one seems a tiny bit more stiff/stable!
