This racquet definitely is NOT comfortable. I actually like the way the racquet plays (with some lead tape added) as it does a bit of everything but it is definitely stiff on the arm.
Wow… I’ve been playing with the lab 300 since its inception… And with much success..even though I’m the antithesis of the player you recommend for this racket: a senior 4.0 singles player, ohb, can hit with spin but still hits flat ( a lot) , compact swing…. Now my question is this. If I get a backup 300, should I go for the lab or the final version. Is there a discernible difference???
There’s arguably a tiny shift in balance but it’s almost imperceptible. Other than that, the specs are the same. We couldn’t tell the difference when playing so think you’re safe buying either. It’s worth remembering that all rackets have a variability (unless you’re buying set pairs) so the difference could be greater even if you went for the Lab version
You guys should stop talking about how a racquet looks in your reviews because its so subjective, its just a waste of time. People will make up their own minds on the looks.
9:47 The racket is rock solid with a few grams of lead tape in the hoop/handle. It transforms it. That's what you should be saying in your review. As least that way more people are likely to be buy as its not difficult to spend £5 on some lead tape.
Do you not think maybe the review is of the racket, as is - not what it could be with customisation? Seems weird to review a racket and go, well If you change this racket it plays differently! Surely then you just buy another racket….
