@@Batwam0 I’m so so happy that that that that you were there there for a little time to talk and talk about your situation I really really hope hope you’re feeling good 😊
Epic choice, My CX200 Tour 16x19 is currently on pre-order replacing my current 18x20 version, So glad you didn’t throw the other Dunlop cause the paint job on it is so nice, I hope those other rackets aren’t chipped and damaged.
A prestige pro 16x19 maybe? sound similar to your taste, with a lot of control, precision and decent spin! I wonder why he didn't try any head racquets
The part I don't like Dunlop is, looking at 16x19 and 18x20, string grid opening at sweet spot are almost the same, rather than slightly spaced out for the former. It's even more obvious if you compare it to PS97. That's probably the main reason I felt the spin potential and response was somehow restricted. If you carry 2 string patterns for essentially the same racquet, differentiate more between them!
I felt I found the right racquet from the the get-go with my prestige Graphene touch mp. I try other racquets sometimes searching for more power but I always go back to the prestige 18x20. It does everything well for my game style. The time has arrived to buy the second one and then start the string journey. Wish me luck.
I have tried a lot of rackets in my 35 + years. Being a stringer, I have the chance to try them all. But to me, my Wilson Pro Staff RF 97 are at the very top of my list. Though I must give honorable mentions to 2 others: the Wilson Pro Staff Spin 97(Dimitrov) is just awesome. With a little more weight in the head, it's quite good from the baseline. I also played in my younger years with the Prince NXG Tour 100: EXCELLENT racket, with no plastic grommets, being drilled right through the frame. It makes for a special feeling, having quite a bit of plough through and offering a good amount of spin. But indoors, nothing compares with my Yonexs 97 Tour F; of course, i have added a bit of weight in the head, changed the grips with genuine leather grips + overwraps and that's it. SERVE 'EM UP..!
I have been watching Dr Tennis Spin every day since inception...this is the GOAT... And Emmy worthy.. both for comic relief and useful information...a perfect 10.. bravo...
Can u do a follow up on how he customizes his racket? Tests that customization and tweaks to get to his desired end result? I’m past the picking the stick now I am testing the fine tuning and would be interested in hearing more about Swing Weights, plow and twist.
I think coach Chris could round his Yonex experience by trying the VCORE Pro 97, the HD is something special and maybe he could like it. Great content every week, I’m a fan from Ecuador
I think something like the Dunlop makes sense for someone of Chris' ability. The other rackets are more 4.0 level aren't they? What strings does Chris have in the 16x19? Could you compare the string density of the 18x20 to the 16x19 please. How big are the cells in the central sweet-spot region, is there much difference between the two. I guess the 18x20 cells are about 1.2mm and the 16x19 are about 1.3mm, so they probably play quite similar. Thanks.
I feel like people that are used to play with stiff racquets with mid 50s tensions, when they get to try a flexible racquet they always string them with the same tension (which is a mistake) and report that they feel the racquet bending and actually say that the racquet is stiff. Guys, please adjust the tension to get the amount of power/control you are used to with different racquets, for example, if I have a 62 RA frame with a 18x20 string pattern, 95 headsize and I string it with 44lbs, when trying a 100sqin, 65RA, 16x19 frame, I should up the tension a bit and vice versa. (not saying tha this is the case with coach chris, but his saga reminded me of this, which happened at the club I where I play)
It really makes me cringe to see you tossing new rackets on the floor like that. I hope you aren’t going to sell those to people as “new rackets” to me that is no longer new at all id be pissed if you sold me one of those
Coach Chris is as the old saying goes a Hua Hua Gongzi when it comes to racuets but bloody hell finally lol. But I understand as I still have 3 Sampras pro staffs.
I’ve never demoed racquets. I mostly bought them on faith that reviews would provide enough information. I’ve been lucky that my level isn’t high enough to appreciate the subtle differences. A future racquet choice might follow a demo. Not that I’d know how to evaluate a new stick. I s’pose I’d spend fifteen minutes on each of groundstrokes, volleys, serves and returns; then maybe play a set of singles and a set of doubles. I’d want to be organized and make a list like the play tester reviews at Tennis Warehouse. Problem is what string at what tension?
How's spin of Dunlop 200 tour 16x19 compared to new PS97? Been a while I haven't bought Dunlop, as the last one I used seems to rather stay 'classical' than 'modernized' - small sweet spot, good for serve/volley, but definitely less spin than the 2014 PS 97 I currently use
Been using the same two babolat pure drives since high school. They're both hand me downs from my dad haha. Played around with strings and tensions quite a bit cuz I also got a hand me down stringing machine from my dad, but never changed the frames. It's such a foreign idea to be experimenting with different frames, but maybe I should.
ah good decision in re-ordering the intro. always thought it was a little weird when you said stay tuned and came back right away. and please keep doing the pan shots in the beginning. it's annoying when channels say "this is my favorite (x)" and reveal it at the end. i like that you have things up front and you have the rest of the video to get your thoughts across. and wow, i did not expect the dunlop as the best girlfriend. i appreciate that you don't only showcase the best seller rackets and let us know there are many good rackets out there. i now have a yonex ezone dr 100 because of your channel.
He being picky with the rackets because he has the luxury to try out all the rackets available in the market. Here in the PH we dont have demos so we just stick to what we already bought😅
@@K4R3N He is but he didn't get Chris' racquet which is 16x19 but only the 18x20 version of the Tour which is also 5 grams heavier due to its leather grip.
@@ml_gamer8344 Skipped the Graphene series though .. Idea of stiffening the frame and muting the feel does not work and is a terrible idea for the prestige line.
Head especially the prestige and og radicals are awesome racquets. Any of the real Austrian made are solid. And I definitely get Chris's attachment to his older Yonex. It's made in Japan and the new Chinese yonex are not the same. The new trend for racquet design is to be thinner head and stiff in the throat and shaft which is all about flicking the ball for more spin because of all the western grip topspin guys and gals. If you're more neutral and want better rounded I see how the older Yonex or the head prestige would lend itself better. Throw the pro staff in there too. There's so many options now and it'll make your head spin.
I love all your reviews and content. Could you please do a review on Wilson Pro Staff precision 100 (version 2). It's a racket for recreational players like most of us.
I agree with Chris. The original Vcore was much superior in feel. I had a Vcore 95 made in custom fit from yonex Japan at 335g 305mm balance. It was one of the best rackets I've played with next to my Angell rackets. Nothing even comes close to a Angell feel these days
Hi Tennis Spin! What are your best picks for old-school guys with single handed backhands. I currently use the red vcore 100 with polypro at 52lbs and it is great. Do you suggest any other racquets? BTW I play just like you when you were playing Mitch Jee and I sent that vid to all my tennis buddies. Great Work!.
i remember in an older video where coach Chris tried out the prince textreme tour 100p and really liked. is there a reason why this racket was not mentioned did he ever consider trying the newer iterations of that racket?
I've purchased racquets online from shops that treat their new racquets like this, it sucks when your "new" racquet arrives and it's trashed like tennis spins "new" racquets
If he didnt...definitely try the Head Gravity Pro...is a great stick, loaded with feel, and has a lot of control from the 18x20, but not too underpowered because the 100sq.
@@vanodne I tried different things, Head Lynx Edge (blu), Hyper-G, and different tensions...but in the end I found ALU POWER being great at a lower tension like 22-23...gives you a very soft feeling and more pop without losing that much of control...and after the 3rd hour is top notch....
So, those racquets being tossed on the floor, will they be sold as new ones? Lol. Actually, in another video he stated the racquet were already cracked. So, I stand corrected.
Great video, I really like the concept of Why not this racket, because it tells so much about it and really helps to understand why to avoid such rackets. I've been asking this in the past with no response, but could you review the new Tecnifibre rackets, especially 305 RS, it's a beast. Thanks
Very useful vid indeed. Thank you for your efforts and fair balanced analysis. I also think that new 2021 models from many brands (at least Yonex and Pure Drive Babolat) surprisingly have the same shortcomings - they are much more muted then the older versions. Tennis players worldwide are getting older, so the producers care much more about the tennis elbow, don’t they? That’s the only viable explanation to me. And it doesn’t work with all the players I’m afraid. WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE WITH THIS VID WAS THE WAY THE RACKETS WERE THROWN AWAY. Each time it was was a sort of embarrassment for me for myself and for the author of the vid who by definition is supposed to respect the gear... This nuance didn’t help to get the the added value of the vid, which it does have.
Yikes!! Neither Harry nor Coach Chris were aware that there indeed was a VCORE 95 before the previous 2018 VCORE 95. It's official name was YONEX VCORE SV 95. It is currently the stick of choice for the number 12th ranked ATP Tour player (albeit in paint job form).
I play like Jimmy Connors and have a pro staff 85 and a t2000. Is the light version good for the Connors swing style which I have used for decades? Thanks.
Going through the struggle myself! Fell for the technifibre 305 xtc, felt good, then a few months later started getting a weird feeling so i got them matched and because they were so off from eachother, (lead in the throat on one and then at 9 and 3 on the other) they still dont feel right. Took the weigth off and now they just feel foriegn in my hand. Looking to swtich but im lost on what to look into??? Ahhhhh, "hair pulling" hahaha
Try the new or old version of the textreme tour 100p (they’re almost identical in feel. It’s a very spin friendly 18x20. Good swing weight I have some weight added at 3, 9 and 12. You won’t be disappointed.
U probably need new strings. The new poly strings feels dead after a few months based on my experience. It loses its elasticity or something. If you want longer playability go hybrid or multi maybe.
@@bradfordstoll5191 thank you, i just play tested this racquet and wow, the sound of the ball off the string is like the sound of a shotgun, hahaha, awesome stick. Im gonna play with it for another week or so to make sure its not the honeymoon affect. TY
@@milevets i do have a shoulder issue and i have tried hybrids in the past but never found one i loved. Thats a lie, i did do gut with a poly but honestly couldn't afford to keep buying gut cause im only a rec player. I will have to try a hybrid again. TY
Soooo, a pro staff or something like a pro staff and tweak it a bit. Head light, 16X19, plow thru on serve and between 95-98 sq inches. Nice! Now, he and we know his type to set him up for a tennis date 😆.

Used strung racket: hush little baby don't say a word

Those rackets going to the demo program
@@davidlin1510 Yeah, but he always seems to be doing that sorta thing, so must have an expansive demo program that's generating a lotta cash.
Harry nuts throwing around like $1500 worth of racquets!
very original comment i like it
People won't go in his shop to buy rackets from now on as they are all chipped. He thinks he's funny but only shooting himself in the foot
He will probably put them for demo use.
I bet he puts them back on his wall and sells them as new ones.
Demoed a few rackets and settled on the Wilson PS97; good combination of feel and control with not too much power.
Why am I so interested in some random kid finding what racket he likes you ask?
Idk but I’m damn sure gonna find out the answer
Amazing! One of the most oddly satisfying video on this channel. :)

exactly he keeps roasting him
Tao bless Coach Chris. I am learning through his racquet struggles. I appreciate his input greatly.
@8:57 there actually is a 95 of the older older version, it’s called vcore sv 95
Crazy stiff. Thats the actual frame Shaoplavol plays with
And it is a really good frame.
Head pro tour!
Edit: Head Pro Tour: Solinco Confidential at 45-48lbs. Perhaps a hybrid with a power string on the mains.
Harry, is there a reason why Chris didn’t like or try any Head racquets?
I was thinking exactly the same thing
not for him Head
I think Harry hates Head...

Good to have a buddy with a tennis shop!!! Lol. Never seen anyone that picky.
98-100sq, 330-340gr strung, a little grip heavy, and profile as narrow as possible, i would play with anything closer to that

Yikes!! Neither Harry nor Coach Chris were aware that there indeed was a VCORE 95 before the previous 2018 VCORE 95. It's official name was YONEX VCORE SV 95. It is currently the stick of choice for the number 12th ranked ATP Tour player (albeit in paint job form).
when one star looking for a racquet that means your playing days are over and your coaching days is here..
Pro Staff 97L V13 with Luxilon Alu Power 1.25 16L @53lbs is butter for me.
I play like Jimmy Connors and have a pro staff 85 and a t2000. Is the light version good for the Connors swing style which I have used for decades? Thanks.
Going through the struggle myself! Fell for the technifibre 305 xtc, felt good, then a few months later started getting a weird feeling so i got them matched and because they were so off from eachother, (lead in the throat on one and then at 9 and 3 on the other) they still dont feel right. Took the weigth off and now they just feel foriegn in my hand. Looking to swtich but im lost on what to look into??? Ahhhhh, "hair pulling" hahaha
Try the new or old version of the textreme tour 100p (they’re almost identical in feel. It’s a very spin friendly 18x20. Good swing weight I have some weight added at 3, 9 and 12. You won’t be disappointed.
U probably need new strings. The new poly strings feels dead after a few months based on my experience. It loses its elasticity or something. If you want longer playability go hybrid or multi maybe.
@@bradfordstoll5191 thank you, i just play tested this racquet and wow, the sound of the ball off the string is like the sound of a shotgun, hahaha, awesome stick. Im gonna play with it for another week or so to make sure its not the honeymoon affect. TY
@@milevets i do have a shoulder issue and i have tried hybrids in the past but never found one i loved. Thats a lie, i did do gut with a poly but honestly couldn't afford to keep buying gut cause im only a rec player. I will have to try a hybrid again. TY
I feel like he’d love the Prince Powertwist or twist power or whatever
Soooo, a pro staff or something like a pro staff and tweak it a bit. Head light, 16X19, plow thru on serve and between 95-98 sq inches. Nice! Now, he and we know his type to set him up for a tennis date 😆.
