    What an interesting interview! Great question asked! I wanna be able to wield pro staff so badly. I doubt if I’ll ever be but I looovee the racket so much it hurts. Also, I love Roger as a pro tennis player but I might just love him even more as a business man. Most of the things he designs/works with are extremely elegant and classy! Basic done extremely right with the quality in mind. I really do enjoy his products.

    This is probably the best frame i have ever played with. I have the V12 and the blue laver cup (my pick out of the two) with gut / prince tour XT cross (57/54 lbs) and prince multi/ tour XT cross (55/53 lbs). I tried demoing one with full poly (cyclone) at 55 lbs and didn't like it honestly. Too stiff. Definitely felt better with a softer poly at lower tension. Thanks Roger for everything.

    Love the RF97 series but still would prefer a thinner beam width more like 20mm. Seems to be a big jump going from the previous 17mm in the 6.0 85 and Tour 90/Six.One 90 series to the RF97 21.5mm beam.

    • @Shankar-Bhaskar
      @Shankar-Bhaskar หลายเดือนก่อน

      Completely agree, rackets such as the Pro Staff or the Yonex Percept should have a box beam of 20 mm or less and not more.
      Yonex Percept has a beam width of 21 mm which is too thick for my liking. The Previous Vcore Pro 97 Matte Green had a 20 mm beam which felt so good.

    Roger has 3 months more to return! Not too long, time will fly! Praying that he comes back, and wins AO2021, and Rafa looses at the French Open finals, by Thiem, to keep Roger's record safe!

    • @ralki15
      @ralki15 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If Rafa wins the Roland Garros this year, then he will tie with Roger in overall GS titles. Either Novak or Dominic are the only players that have a better shot at stopping Rafa from winning another Roland Garros title.
      And YES! Roger is gonna have to win atleast AO, Wimbledon & US Open 2021 in order to create that gap between Rafa & Novak. Roger 2021 has to really go all out.

    • @pauljohnson6019
      @pauljohnson6019 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@ralki15 I think Roger has some mystic powers, when Thiem looked out, at U.S. Open, he somehow found a way, to win it, and when he looked in trouble again, today, he found a way to win playing badly, he must have channelled Thiem's inner chakras, to give him that self belief to go further here, maybe destiny again, that he will reach a finals for a 3rd time, and beat Nadal and Djokovic!

      I believe he uses a slightly heavier batch. 12.9 oz strung and as far as lead goes, it varies. He used 3 grams of lead in the 11-2 position in his original red/ black frame but not sure how he changes it based on surface/ conditions

      They're at opposite ends of the spectrum and shouldn't be in the same conversation! If you're the kind of player that likes a Pure Drive then the Wilson equivalent is the Ultra. The PS is a control racket and you need technique and ability for it to shine.

      @@jaysean9589 all this nonsense about Wilson QC. The best player in the history of the sport uses the rackets they produce, like their QC isn't some of the best! A +-5g variation on manufacture is standard. If you're in doubt go and talk to your local stockist that sells hundreds of rackets a year. Head have the same tolerances, as do most manufacturers. I wouldn't be surprised if Yonex do have a tighter tolerance, that would be very Japanese of them, but it doesn't make their rackets better.

    • @6064jkr
      @6064jkr 3 ปีที่แล้ว
