      i did this switch, try measuring your regular ezone 98 and see if you can get the swingweight/balance the same on the percept you are using, it'll allow you to do everything you do with your ezone 98 but the bigger sweetspot will help your consistency. Also try out the 2023 vcore 98, its got that free topspin you are looking for and after a month of playing with it you'll be able to do everything you can do now with your ezone 98

    Treys inability to vary the speed / spin ratio on his forehand is by far because of his technique and his inability to change his swing path radically and the contact pressure when he’s hitting a ball. He is hits mainly in the moderate topspin range. He can flatten it out a bit but currently lacks the control to consistently land it in especially on low pace balls. I’ve never seen him hit a heavy topspin forehand in an actual match. No racket can give you something that a lack of technique doesn’t allow for. Enhancement yes. Magic cure, no way. It’s like that old jazz song said, “It don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got that swing.” 😂

  • @bn9161
    @bn9161 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +9

    Not sure any of those rackets do anything you need and you'd be giving up a better serving racket just so you can feel like you're swinging harder despite balls landing shorter than your EZ 98. Switching racquets frequently doesn't tend to improve anyone's game.

    Firstly, props to the guy going to pickup the dog poo😅…Everything Trey said he likes about the 100D and everything you said about swinging a heavier racquet giving more power with less effort is why I’ve gone back to the Speed Pro(Legend)…complete control over spin and I don’t need to customise it at all to feel perfect for me..I really liked the Extreme Tour and Pro on my whole game apart from the fact that I was swinging hard at everything and it was more taxing on my arm than a heavier racquet..adding weight to the tour changed the feel that I didn’t really like it so I haven’t bothered trying to customise the Pro since falling back in love with the Speed Pro…Apparently slightly higher launch with the 100D and more manoeuvrable than Speed Pro so I’m intrigued to try the 100D…needs a better paint job though lol..I thought he would’ve preferred the aero 98 out of those 3 considering what he was wanting to add to his game…might be too light for him stock

    Thoughts on where Trey fits into your updated philosophy about needing more power from your racquet? None of these racquets are really more powerful than an Ezone 98 (I think). Why might those have been good options for Trey?

    • @bn9161
      @bn9161 วันที่ผ่านมา

      By TennCom's own flowchart Trey would be better served by the Ezone 100 yet he was steered into a control racquet like the 100D. It just isn't consistent with TennCom's usual philosophy about racquet selection. Rec players need the added power for when their technique breaks down as they tire out.

      i did this switch recently, the ezone 100 is your friend that makes tennis easier to play than with the ezone 98, you don't lose much other than maybe weight which you can add. note that if doesn't give you much extra topspin though so if you are looking for that try out the 2023 vcore's as well

    • @bn9161
      @bn9161 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      @@The4.0Guy Honestly I think the ezone 100 would make Trey's backhand a lot more serviceable while also adding more spin and power to both his serve and forehand especially if he adds a little weight. The other good option would be the Head speed mp. IMO 100 sq in racquets are probably the smallest racquet heads that rec players should be playing with.

      @The4.0Guy 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@TennCom Agree. I've recently tried to transition to a new racquet from the ezone 98 and my two cents is the percept will be the easiest move for Trey. Its got similar directional control to the ezone 98 (string pattern helps a lot) and I found the 100 sq improved my serve consistency, the bigger sweetspot really helps with that. I'd look at measuring the swingweight/balance of the percept he is using to see if he could get it identical to his current ezone. Note that I went to the 2023 vcore 98 which I think Trey should also try, it gave me much needed free net clearance and topspin on my flat forehand and is also a good serving racquet.

    • @bn9161
      @bn9161 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      ​@@TennCom It's definitely not as heavy as with his EZ98. There are a lot of subjective aspects to racket selection so if he has more fun with the Percept then all the more power to him and that's the one he should select. I think his results will suffer a bit as it will make his serve a lot more returnable which will decrease the free points he frequently gets and it will give players he will be playing in the 4.0-4.5 range a lot of easy approach shots to put away due to lack of depth with the percept.
      I do think power is still an issue for him and the vast majority of rec players far more than control will ever be. Trey hits hard for his current level but there is still room for more power and spin. He's going to be neutralizing his most powerful weapons with the percept and not improving his weaknesses enough to surmount it.
      I also think energy expenditure will increase as he will have to swing faster throughout his entire match which will hurt him in longer matches. We'll see though.
      TLDR: Rec players need some power. Control frames are generally bad for them.

  • @robertgarcia2266

    if you want heavy topspin just go aero 100, extreme mp or speed mp. Bigger sweet spot and more reliable to put pressure when your slightly off. 98s , extreme pro, aero 98 or vcore 98? but heavy reliable topspin? 100's for sure like extreme or aero or VCORE 100. But the IMHOI he wants easy power and reliable spin to put pressure on opponents backhands, 100s for sure.

Anyone weaker than that is going to get bullied off the court by players playing with racquets like the Speed, Ezone 98 or 100, Vcore 98 or 100, Pure Aero 98 or 100, etc.
