I had a few of the prototypes. I prefer a 320g type racquet but this was fun to play with. I added about 2g of lead at 12 and 5g or silicone plugs on the handle. Played better. In the end though these type of racquets were not for me. I preferred my usual go to prestige/vCore 97 and similar type racquets.
Looking pretty good! 👍 Similar to Pure Drive you say? That's interesting, I have a Pure Drive Plus which is also 27.5 inches (and is hollow too btw). So this Solinco would feel and play similarly I guess?
Love to have a hit with them and I will probably add 10 grams to both models. Harry, you also increase the Confidential tension to 54 to 55 lbs lately, any particular reason?
Isn’t the point of an extended racquet to provide a higher swingweight at the same overall weight? There’s no advantage making it longer with the same weight and swingweight.
The extended version for sure will have higher swing weight. It's because more of the mass is located further from the handle, if only slightly.

Hi Harry. In the spec sheet, the recommended string tension was 45-50lbs.. ok to tension it up to 55lbs as you did, there..? And, why..? 😊

The Solinco has more feel than the Pure Drive. That's what I got from the videos I've watched.
Any thoughts on the whiteouts?
Great camera angle behind the player . . We can see coach andrew gu forehand style is exactly like Federer .
From where I can buy them
Thanx!
What does Brad Gilbert think about it? It’s his shop.

What’s the RA ?
No foam = more vibration but cheaper to produce.
I don't think foam is that expensive.
Foam only on white out I think
Tennis spin! You’ve gotta work on the speed and the tweener at the end!!! Gogogoogo!!!
But does it tell time? Oh wait… that’s my stock comment for the Apple Watch🤪
I wish they made a 97 version of that! Like a control racquet
The White Out is their control racket. It has 98 i think
No silicone in the handle does not mean “more feel”.
🖤
Country of manufacture?
The blackout feels cheap. Like textreme and graphene cheap

Looks like they are on to something…
Empty coffee cup?
S meeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thats what happens when you drink to much (black out)
A longer racquet means more swing weight. 🙄
