I made a small error in this video: Pre-stretched strings do not have lower elasticity. They have greater elasticity. Elasticity is defined as a string's ability to return to its original shape. Pre-stretching increases this proficiency. The correct thing to say is that pre-stretched have reduced plasticity. This means they feel stiffer and they feel less elastic-bandy, which is a synonym for soft and powerful. Small correction but I think it's important to be diligent, yet forgiving, with semantics.

Great Video. I was glad you were able to review "Yonex Sinner's" racquet

Impressive format of this video! I love the soft focus on the background and what a cool background! Content spot on as always!

Great review , giving honest opinion about the racquet . Comparison with other racquets like arrow and aero98 are important to give us a more practical idea where mp stands. Thanks for sharing

thank you for the review, i'm literally switching from a pure aero 98 because i want a little bit more comfort and you just said that in the video!

Hows it going? I'm debating whether to buy pa98 or the speed mp

Starting to groove more and more with the new speed mp. Been surprisingly playing my best tennis with it even though it was actually an impulse purchase. Again had to add a lot of weight on the handle to get the swing just right. Keeping the racquet at 325 sw for me was perfect as it allowed me to whip without it being clubby. Gonna swap over to Tour Sniper on this very soon and maybe upping the tension. Been using razor soft on it which is nice but i do agree it needs stiffer strings. Overall its a surprise for me how much i actually liked the new speed

I'm also surprised. This might be going down as my favourite Speed of all time but I'm trying not to get too hype about something I only used for one hit.

It’s identical to my Prestige S ig you tek 22mm . With strings going through same wholes

very interesting review! would you say it plays similarly with the whiteout 305 16x19? what would be the main improvements over the WO? Thanks!

@TennCom

5 ай бұрын

I would say that it does not because the feel is so different. The Whiteouts are boards. There's nothing interesting about how the flex, whereas with the Speed, there's a lot of flex. The Whiteouts feel a lot more solid, more like player's sticks. The Speed feels like a tweener racquet geared towards a player. There's a bit of a hollow, slightly mushy feel but its really easy to hit heavy penetrating balls. I think aggressive play was more consistent with the Speed since the pattern on the Whiteout is so open, but spin is better on the Whiteout. Forgiveness and comfort are better with the Speed too. Whiteout wins maneuverability. The Speed is probably "better" for most players at most levels, but the feel could be a deal breaker because its so different. Honestly, the feel on the Speed is almost a deal breaker for me as it is.

For the Lynx Tour strings, what poundage tension do you recommend?

How would you compare this to the gravity pro ? Im looking to upgrade my Youtek IG Speed MP and Im not sure which one of the 2 to go for - Gravity pro has the same mold but this one would be the same model in the newer series

@TennCom

5 ай бұрын

The Gravity Pro feels less connected but more solid. Everything about the Pro feels more "Pro." Hits very heavy, insanely stable, GOATed for flat shots, still sufficient spin for strong players. The Speed MP can hit a heavy ball too, but it relies way more on your high racquet head speed for its performance. Spin potential is much better with the Speed. I think if you are under NTRP 4.5ish, the Speed is better. If you are over that and have a more extreme grip or rely on whippiness on your forehand, the Speed MP is better. If you are physically quite strong, hit flatter or use your big two handed backhand as a weapon, the Gravity Pro is better.

Is the stability all in the extra swing weight? It would take a very modest amount of lead tape to bring the 2022 version to a 330 swing weight. I'd like to see a side by side playtest of the two at similar spec

@TennCom

I'd say that yes its mostly all in the swingweight. The last MP I hit had a high SW too, I didn't measure it, but it felt heavy. Comparing those two, I don't think that the new one is much more stable, if at all. I think you'd have to hit them back-to-back to notice.

I really like this Speed update. However, my demo was at 340+ swingweight. That's just too much for my play style. I'm looking forward to hitting this frame at spec.

Hey John! Just so you know, I recognize your username every time you comment, so you don't have to introduce yourself every time if you don't want to. The Speed MP plays fast for 330SW. It swings a lot faster than the Extreme MP when I had it around 330SW. If I remember, the Extreme MP was in your bag for a time. I think it would be manageable for your 1HBH, but I haven't served with it, so I'm not sure if it would give you extra juice or just feel cumbersome. I think its worth looking into, but be weary, another commenter told me their demo has a 340SW so its possible that QC is pretty poor with this gen.

Thanks for watching! I am actually (half) Korean. My family moved here in the late 1960s. RA is a decent indicator of comfort, but I think if you are going to use any number as a guide, vibration frequency is more useful. If the goal is to reduce the impact shock, vibration frequency tells us how many vibrations are travelling through the racquet after ball contact. Lower RA and higher weights means less vibration. You'll see that Clashes have very low VF's: twu.tennis-warehouse.com/cgi-bin/vibfrequency.cgi but the Prince ATS 100 is also a good candidate. Having tried the Nova, the comfort is good, but I'm not sure I'd go that route myself if I was recovering from an arm issue, especially something so close to the hand like the tfcc.

Yeah I think Confidential would be great. Would be in my top 5 choice for this stick. Swingweight does not mean the balance would be necessarily head heavy. It might feel head heavy due to the weight, but if the racquet's weight distribution is correctly polarized, you can easily end up with a headlight, high swingweight racquet. That said, another commenter told me his demo was 340SW so thing might end up being pretty demanding for a lot of players.

They seem more similar on paper than they are in practice. The new Speed reminds me more of the older APDs.

I think the Speed is a good step if you use the PA100 now, and want something that gives you better control over your shot selection, but I'm not super sure I would recommend cross-shopping them. Ironically, I don't think the Pure Aeros (100 or 98) suit a spin players stroke mechanics very well.

It was not as speedy or generated as much spin compared to the previous model and it's really a disappointment.
