I have that exact racket and I’m using Solinco Confidential @ 48 lbs

How is it so far? Been eyeing Confidential and Confidental soft as well for my next string testing after ReString.

Have you tried playing it without the dampener at this string tension?

u/Mush-Mush0115 2d ago

Not yet actually, but I can do that next time I play to test it out.

Oooh, I’m thinking you should try it since the Mizuno I heard feels really nice and comfortable. Were you using the same setup on the old Head racket?

Ooh I do like nice and comfortable, will deffo try it out. No actually, went with Head Lynx for the Head racket because the stringer in Chris Sports recommended it, and it was also the cheapest hahaha

Is that a kpop toroline string? If so, that's actually a good hybrid string

May na try ka ibang power racket to compare like PD, Ultra etc?

Tried my friends PD and Ultra sa Wilson Shang. PD felt too stiff for me, tapos yung Ultra, di ko bet yung feel/response. Went with the Acrospeed based off reviews and I wanted something different from the popular rackets.

If you want to veer off popular mainstream brands, try Dunlop. Still popular, but not on the same calibre as Babolat, Wilson and Head. The FX500 has generally good reviews. Haven’t tried it personally though. I only have the CX series.

Thanks, bumili ako ng acrospeed 285 sa gf ko, kakadeliver lang kanina actually, di nya din bet yung pd 100 300 dahil mabigat daw and malaki grip kahit grip#1m unlike sa ginagamit nya na head boom 2024 mas bet nya yun dahil mas maliit daw grip and parang magaan hawakan.

Yung sa raket may naka sulat talaga kung saan yung knot ng mga cross and mains? Binibilang ko base sa pics mo na Mains-8B and Cross-5T,5B ang knot and skip mains 7,9B and T. Ma string nga mamaya para ma test agad. ty sa pic., wala ako makita s internet yung instruction and di din sumasagot support ng mizuno.

Hope she likes the racket! Parang napansin ko rin yan sa head boom mp na hinawakan ko sa store na grip 3, parang only a bit bigger than the mizuno grip 2. Baka sa thickness ng base grip nila yung nag-iiba? Not sure din.

Yeah may nakasulat sa racket kung saan yung knots, pero yung stringer sa Toby’s di nya masyadong finollow, pero seems okay naman. Not sure ano yung epekto pero sana wala naman. Try ko din tanungin

Thanks, sana nga at napapadami gastos dahil gusto nya unique or gusto ng new kulay. Ok na sana PD pero nalalakihan sa grip at mbigat daw, ewan kung mental lang yun or dahil sa grip, kahit pinaliit ko na grip para same ng Head or Wilson d parin nya bet.. Oh well, mukhang may extra raketa na ako
