I think some of these “newer” designs and tweaks are worse from models today. I loved the tecnifbre xtc 305 tfight and they went a little too “rich” on the next top models
If anything it’s probably balance. To me : I like proper balance and a more dense string pattern. Most rackets are overrated. Find one that fits stock weight, string pattern and balance. Go from there.
I do not have a Solinco deal, but somehow, it has beat out my ezones and radicals, brands I've been loyal to and WANTED to make work. Esp the radicals. Seems like a coincidence, but it's a great product
Harry owns a shop so he's not paying retail for any racquet he carries in his shop. So I don't think sponsorship would have anything to do with his choice.
@@thehiddenfamily True. Though he has commented many times about his love for his old Vcore, so he is probably ok with the Yonex pallet. But the ezone can feel pretty stiff, and he has commented that he likes a bit of flex.
@@thehiddenfamilythat is me. I want the ezone to work so badly. I think the mould is unique and pretty cool, and the playing characteristics are nice. But the pallet shape is messing up my ability to swing through the ball, and the balance of the racquet isn't feeling right on the back swings.
Regarding the complaints about the big racquet companies: I thought that a lot of ATP players play stock these days with some customization that isn't that difficult to do. And there are a ton of racquets out there for sale with a huge variety of characteristics. I wouldn't think that it was that hard to find what you're looking for if you're will to experiment with silicone and lead tape. I got the feeling that you were looking for stability, feel, some power on demand, and spin in a players frame and I have to think that you can find that in Babolat, Head, Wilson, Prince or Dunlop. And there's always the Rafa Origin if you need a little extra weight.
I respectfully disagree that everyone makes a racquet you can like. The last time l tried out demos l tried 22 different frames. I played head racquets for a long time but couldn't find anything l liked. The two racquets that were close were the pure strike 16 × 19 and the technifibre t fight 315 but when everything was said and done l went to a volkl v1 pro. Did not find a yonex or a Wilson that felt right to me.
For me, finding the right places on a racquet to lead up is too time consuming and I’m of the opinion that lead tape doesn’t quite replace sheer mass in a racquet. Also, some racquets are probably also better for modifying than others. Always gelled well with Prestige Pros. I could take a racquet and try and make it the same in most ways but something will always be a bit different…
@@topspin4hand The standard approach for pro stocks is a very light hairpin, silicone in the handle and lead in the hoop. I have 3 sets of pro stocks made this way: IG Prestige MP, 13.25 ounces, 386 swingweight is the set that I've used for 13 years. They are solid racquets. You can make all kinds of different racquets with lead tape and radically change the playing characteristics. But it is time-consuming figuring out exactly what you want. The key, though, is to start out with a light frame which gives you the flexibility to add lead and frames to start with are called platform frames for the most flexibility.
@@movdqa Thanks for explaining where you're coming from. I've done some mods but just once or twice. I often see people saying that certain racquets are unstable or too light, but that they're good sticks to modify to your own specs. I didn't know who to believe--should I buy a racquet that's good without lead or one that's a great platform stick... Perhaps I'll give some of these great platform frames more consideration.
@@topspin4hand This topic is regularly discussed on the Tennis Warehouse forums. Most retail racquets by the big companies have tolerances to plus or minus 10 grams and you may be able to ask for lighter frames where you shop so that you can modify it higher. There is a good video put out by Dunlop on racquet customizing that I saw today - it goes over why you'd do it and where to put it depending on what you're looking for. For the vast majority, though, it's too much of a bother. But I find that I can buy a light frame that I think I will like and then customize it to my standard specs.

Rackets are soooooo subjective. Hell I still like the feel of the Wilson Ceramic rackets from the 90's. Happy hitting everyone!

Thanks. Good luck with your new racket Coach.
Sponsored by Solinco
Literally what I was going to say! He’s partnered with them now.
TW and many other racket reviewers also gave high marks to Solinco rackets. So maybe it’s just your prejudice
Did you choose the 16x19 or the 18x20? Also, what are your final specs. Static weight, swingweight and balance?
Freezing the video and counting the cross while he was holding the racket up at the end showed that it was 16x19.
Yeah... I think that's what he meant by "you got me back to the 305 regular...". Surprising!
It could be a matter of the sponsorship but, i believe the racquet might be really good.
Does anyone know who manufactures the racquets for Solinco?
What is the main differences between the TF 40 315 and the solinco that you choose? In terms of feeling, spin power and any other attribute. Thank you

Just say you have a Solinco deal and why that is the best Solinco racquet for you.
😂

So, what were the final spec compared to the original?
He’s been on this journey for years at this point right?
Is the 315 also filled with foam?
He ended up with a weighted 16x19 version?
335g unstrung? That's crazy heavy...
Some of these people mad that Solinco is making better racquets than their favorite brands XD
Love the canto lol!
They’re both sponsored by solinco based on both of their racket choices
Harry owns a shop so he's not paying retail for any racquet he carries in his shop. So I don't think sponsorship would have anything to do with his choice.
Why not an ezone 98?
Solinco offering sponsorship. Yonex...?
Plus the ezone feel and pallet shape is not liked by everyone

No coffee promo but the whole video was a Solinco ad loool
.... did i just watch a 13 minute long Solinco commercial?

Say hi to your mom for me
Raquet for a week
Until new rackets come out.
Let's take a foam filled racket and add lead all over. What we are going to get? Right RF97A.
That fuzzy yellow balls stuff is awful. Watching will Hamilton droning on is pure torture
It's a 16/19.
Seems like if you have to put so much lead weight, it's not the one. 🤷🏾♂️
Isn’t he sponsored by solinco now… lol
BS
