Excited for you Nana! This is Ken from the US, this is my Racket stringing channel :) I would recommend trying 24 or 25lbs to start with when you restring with 305 1.10. That string is very thin so it don't need to be pulled as high as thicker 18g or 17g strings. That should be a happy medium for good power from the stringbed, but still good control. If your stringer's machine has ability to do .5lbs increments, you can even try a happy medium of that, and ask 24.5lbs. Been loving my NS V2! Cheers 🤙
@@TactileRacquetPerformance Hey Ken Thanks for the feedback. Strings are still in tact but I’ve got my reel of 1.10 on hand. Jon Sharpe had also suggested 25 or 26 lbs to start with for the same reason. Will go 25lbs when the time comes. Will give your channel a follow 👌🏾
Of course I had to buy one and try it didn’t like it with the dynamax string felt they were too tight and made the shaft feel flexi so cut them out and put my favourite in tecnifibre 1.1s in and bam much better I actually weighed it before n after the 1.1s are almost 2 grams lighter all in 153 and after string change flashing between 151 and 151.5 I strung it at 27 pound and enjoyed it much more yesterday I broke the strings and only having 1 I went back to my all time great Harrow Vibe Gawad Signature which I have used for along time and think that overall the Vibe is still the best I’ve ever used with 1.1s or ashaway 1.15 xl micro the tecnifibre has more power but the Vibe is slightly more nimble and better short 👍
Hey Blake So I’m also currently in between a rock and a hard place with the 120 V2 and Harrow Vibe Gawad. I have never tried the Gawad with the 1.1mm though… do you snap the string really easily? What tension did you string the Vibe with 1.1mm?
I usually get around 5 to 6 weeks out of a set but only hit 3 times a week and string them at 26 27 I have found is the sweet spot for playability and durability 👍
It's a hustle in South Africa. 1. Start with what you have, do a review and publish it on TH-cam. 2. Show your friends and ask to use their rackets for a review, get better at making the videos and providing information. 3. Once you get traction, you can use the videos to ask manufacturers or racket shops to assist in either sending you demos or discounts...maybe a partnership (doesn't really happen in SA). 4. Sell your old rackets on Facebook Marketplace/Gumtree to fund the discounted purchase on new rackets. 5. Look for other rackets to buy and sell on Marketplace as well to make a small profit. Repeat steps 3-5

Love it!!
So far so good.
Tension a bit tight but maybe loosens up tonight.
We would like to know how different it is from the regular X-Top if you can test both.
Won’t be able to test the old X Top, don’t have one unfortunately
How do you get your hands on so many rackets?? I’m jealous
