Hi Jonas! I liked how you played with the racquet yesterday at the ITF match, I think you were able to be more aggressive than with the Extreme Tour. It was nice to meet you in person, I enjoyed talking to you and your friend Nils as well. It would be nice, if we can play together sometime in the future. Take care!👋🏼
Just completed my order !!! Been waiting for months for this racquet since your prototype test, it’s my perfect spec, and 15% off worked perfectly. Thank you so much Jonas 👍👍🎾 I have my mobile stringing business here in Tampa Florida so I will use this as demo for all my clients and tell them to order using your code if they want it
@@Tennisnerd My house luckily was safe from damage, but many around have big oak trees fallen, and costal communities got flooded. Tennis is not on people minds right now but I know it will be their escape after things settle down a little, everyone need a little stress relief 👍👍🎾🎾
If they want to differentiate their brand (Re: QC) from the other mfg. then add swingweight also to the QC sticker imo & no need to duplicate on box & on racket sticker. Cool they also provide the bag, stencil & money back guarantee. Stiffer feel than a PA 98 (RA 70 ish) unfortunately does not work for me. Thx for the review & good luck in tourney☮
The head of the racket is high this is a good Rd for many it though might drop if dirt adheres . So it needs to be clean to remain working. The string is nit change it is strung with a frame in mind the strung are dirt gathered a second racket to allow you to play rather than wait for the cleaning to end
I never feel comfortable playing with a 'thicker' beamed racquet and so it would put me off from even trialling that particular stick. If they produced 'variations' on specs, including extended (28") then it would great to see how it works out, during a practice session. Always appreciate your videos and analysis 👍 Cheers.
I use a ezone 98 and got to try the Model 99 recently. I was surprised at how good this felt. Totally different from the ezone. You could feel the thick beam and the stability and the how nicely muted the frame was. The ezone felt almost jarring in comparison. Is there another frame that feels similar since the Model 99 doesn’t come in grip size 1?
Would like to see a control model with the progressive sting pattern and a thinner beam. A bit heavier as well. Could be a new version of prostaff, which already has progressive pattern and high sweet spot, tho less exaggerated than this. I like the concept because i tend to hit above center on the racket and prefer the higher sweet spot.
Looks like this brand is the only one in the industry that had a buttcap that doesn’t have an up or down for spinning the racquet. Otherwise, an interesting looking racquet.
@@Tennisnerd thanks Jonas, I use a 3 in head and wilson, but 2 in yonex. Still on the fence about the variable string bed, everything else seems great.
@@Tennisnerd good so like most brands including ProKennex who instead just keeps a rare larger size biggest then most going up to a size 5 that is also called by USA measurement a 5 inch grip so some rec big players can use the model without having to use extra wraps to build out the handle.
what I dont understand is the price. why would they price it at 225 euros?? Why would anybody buy it instead of a Yonex? or Head? or Wilson? or Babolat?
It’s nearly 50 euros less, right? Isn’t that the whole point of why they would charge less? So people would buy it instead of the brands you mentioned?
@@ToonLink240 brands I mentioned are around 250 euros, some 255 but generally 250. even what u said is true, still 50euro difference is not enough for me. I would buy one maybe if it was around 150 euros..
30 days return sounds generous, but is pretty useless if you can’t test it. Would be great to offer some demo rackets instead 220€ without testing is indeed only for extreme nerds.
Some other places like Tennis Warehouse out of San Luis Obispo for USA/Canada and has a European store as well or Tennis point of Cleavland in USA should have a Demo program for the racquet soon once in stock.
@@rawrss no I mean these specific stores have a policy of demo racquets for X days at a small fee then paying the rest of model if you like it. People often have such a bad experience with the strings on them that they almost always return the models, also screws the user if the model was modified in the handle with silicon or dampened with expanding spray insulating foam by a prior user.
I've lost all faith in this company. Emailed them several times regarding this racquet and 0 replies. I won't be giving them my money with terrible customer service like that.
Did you email them from the contact form on their website? If so, then that's highly unusual, as I just contacted them using their contact form and they responded almost instantaneously (even at 10pm their time). If you emailed them from your email account, perhaps it was getting blocked for whatever reason? Not to make excuses for them, but my experience has been the opposite, for whatever it's worth. Perhaps better luck in the future.
Strange, they responed in a few minutes to me. Did the same in their instagram profile. And since i already bought clothes from them twice, i know they ship . They also credit uou immefiately on your product returns next day of their receipt. Too good.

Hi Ivan, gracias! Yes, it worked better for sure. Nice to meet you too, we will play someday 👊🏻🎾🤓

@@saugus2 Same for an uncle and aunt who live in Sarasota they are fine.
Love the grey gloss , great insight to a new frame Jonas, cheers
Oh man, hope you're healing up and will be posting videos soon!
this is the brand whose CEO has bashed tenncomm for giving out unbiased review
Speed pro is 23mm constant.
How would you compare it to the Blade V9 100 in terms of Spin and Control?

Ordered! Thanks for the discount code.
the guy in the blue shirt, hitting on hard court, really likes this racquet ;)
Looks like Yonex Percept meets Ezone
First Look. I thought it was new ezone Version
I never feel comfortable playing with a 'thicker' beamed racquet and so it would put me off from even trialling that particular stick.
If they produced 'variations' on specs, including extended (28") then it would great to see how it works out, during a practice session.

Nice looking gray gloss. How does it compare to the Head Gravity Tour?
As an Ezone98 user, very tempted to try these Nordic out!

Doesn't Dunlop have that sort of progressive string pattern on the FX500 or the FX500 tour?

Could be a new version of prostaff, which already has progressive pattern and high sweet spot, tho less exaggerated than this.

How does this compare to the Regna 98? 😊
No Grip 4's. But I emailed Nordicdots and they confirmed Grip 4's are coming. But no ETA yet.
What is the unstrung and strung (gauge of poly string used) Swingweight with Overgrip and dampener? Also the strung balance? Thanks
Isnt this super close to a head boom pro? 98 sq inches, sweet spot higher up, RA 64, 22mm beam etc
Yeah but constant beam and 16/20 and different feel with the glossy cosmetic
Boom pro is also constant beam
Gray gloss already sold out 😂. Good signs. Would love to have this racket.
I ken the futuristic look; kinda "Logan's Run." 'Never even heard of Nordic Dots but went to their site and the Grey Gloss is already sold out!
How would you compare to Furi arma pro 101 version? What was your favorite string set up with this frame?
Is the bumper guard easy to replace or is it one piece?
How did it change from the prototype?
Very similar, a tad more power
Rackets not yet on the their website? Any idea when they will be?
Its live rn
@@lorenischangstonhughes pls share link I still don’t see it! 🤷🏽♂️
@@rakeshshrestha5099 go to the main menu and find the tennis tab! Already ordered two gray ones!
those two colors are the same racquet right ?
Yes the same
Anyone remember the Toalson Forty Love XX? Looks VERY similar
What is the strung swingweight?
325
They might have taken old design but deep cleaned the material hence it hitting high the design adjust fir the head higher. Life is strange
Is it foam filled?
how would you compare this to prestige mp l

Good point!
Is the grip size accurate or un a big big like Yonex?
Accurate, I use a 3 like w Wilson and HEAD for example

what is the swing weight?
Prototype was 325g strung SW and they're being careful with QC so retail should be pretty close to that
320-325 on the ones I have measured
Looks like yonex sans the garish graphics
The price is no good given the new brand
Yonex rebranded ?

looks like an ezone 98.
Shit. All sold out :D Noooooooooooo
what's next, Sahara skis ? lol nordic tennis ...
My thought is Prince brings an updated carbon fiber Mono with larger head onto the market.
lol I watched half the video and thought "maybe I'll order one later today" and then got laid off at the end of the day : S
Oh sorry to hear! Wish u all the best
@@Tennisnerd thank you!
Very dissapointed with this Nordics
no grip #1 and Nordics company does not bother to answer a simple question

New Brand with no name and the starting price is 230eu 🤧
Ridiculous
Right is ridiculous
How much would be fine for you?
Just buy a New graphite Hammer model from Wilson then and save $130.
Its what is costs these days.
