Looked like you were hitting more powerfully with the tour and the launch angle seemed higher with the nova. (Although you were hitting well with both). I guess it's a bit hard to really know with an edited video. Thank you for this review, it's definitely important to give the smaller companies a fair go. 😎 Shame I can't source these out here. I can barely get their strings. I remember very well when Solinco first hit the scene. I was in the industry at that time coaching and working in the pro shop. They handed out so many give aways, including their racquets, had a strong presence at junior tournaments in particular, but I still never thought they'd 'make' it. Wow how wrong was I. 😂 By contrast I don't see Diadem doing this sort of thing. Perhaps in the States or Europe they may, after all they are the big markets. Either way, I always like to see newcomers and smaller companies with quality products and I'm always keen to support them. The greater diversity there is, the better it is for the players. And often it's the smaller companies with better quality control and service. Cheers. 🎾🎾🎾
Interesting... I just demoed both of those, well the Speed Pro & Nova+. Honestly, I found them equally compelling, each having their own character. I did like the frame of the Speed Pro better, but serving with the Nova felt automatic...
Does the FS version of the Elevate play much differently than the original? I like the discount I can get on the first one if there's not too much different.
I demoed the FS versions of all 4 of the frames Diadem offers. I bought the first edition Elevate 305 gram version. I felt both the first and second generation plays similiarly enough that I could not notice a huge difference. If you want an all black version with custom specs, Diadem offers services to find your ideal spec in Florida. I did not do it, but it looks interesting.
Thanks for the interesting review! Recently been playing around with Vcore 95D which i consider switching to, and could not help myself noticing, that Diadem FS Tour has a very similar specs. (static weight, string pattern, beam width, stiffness, even head size I would say, since that 95 head size is very close to my Vcore 97 pro when put together). Since @Jonas was using Vcore95D (tennisnerd video and blog post inspired me to search for it), i wonder how they compare?
I like the racquets (Tour) they look cool with the string and they play well all around. However, doesn’t seem like I have as much power. I used to use heavy racquets but I’m older and need a little lighter but I wonder if I should add a little lead tape to the Tour? If so, I’m not sure how I should do it. Used Pro Staffs most of my life
Hey TennisNerd which racquet has the most control and least power? Yonex Vcore Pro 97 310 (2019 green version), Diadem Elevate FS Tour, or the regular Diadem Elevate FS?
Ordered two yesterday cant wait to play with them!
I have a Nova on the way. I look forward to trying it out. Thanks for the review.
Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks again Jonas...
Bought an elevate tour right now to try out. It's more close to the specs I'm use too. Love the color and hopefully it plays out well for me.
Just switched to the Nova FS from the Head Speed MP. Similar specs, but the feel, stability, and control of the Nova is far better.

@@donquixote... for me, it's volleys and returns. I haven't tried the Nova+, but I'd imagine that plays pretty well too.
Thanks for the review. You do a great job!
Thanks!
Great video as always!!!waiting for the pure aero vs💪💪
Good review. Interesting brand.
Was waiting for this vid

tempted to blind buy a nova today with that 20% off memorial day discount. it looks like that might be the racket for me.
Damn for some reason that 100 looks huge.
Not at all. The Nova FS 100 (300gr) is a great racket. I can't wait to try more strings with it!

The 305g version of elevate loses in what aspects to the tour version? Compared to K7 Red, what are the differences?
what do you estimate is the swingweight and strung balance of the elevate 305 not the elevate tour?
thoughts on pro staff 97 cv?
Hey TennisNerd which racquet has the most control and least power? Yonex Vcore Pro 97 310 (2019 green version), Diadem Elevate FS Tour, or the regular Diadem Elevate FS?
probably the yonex, the least stiff.
easy swing ,easy control makes good shot!
What string, gauge and tension did you test the Nova with? Looks like solstice power
Can you review barbolat pure aero team 2019 in 4 days
Are they made in USA?
Nope. Made in China.
They're made in China. Their strings in Taiwan.
How many pounds are you stringing with?
