[@danielemessina1979]

oz instead of grams?

[@MrKonstantinMirin]

Because it is not using metric system?

Retard units mate, its ignorant to ignore the %90 of the world.

[@MatiasGutierrez-jc7vw]

This video would have been perfect had quantities not been measured in McDonald's burgers per second, etc.

[@ennraph4418]

Great video! Very helpful!

[@marcMH]

International System would be good worldwide audience..

[@AMstringing]

Hi Troy, I searched your channel for information about manufacturer’s tolerances. Would you be able to share that information about the various racquet brands? I know of only a couple that I’ve seen printed on the racquet. For example: Babolat +/-7gms weight and +/-7mm balance. Tecnifibre +/-4 gms weight and +/-4mm balance. How about Prince, Yonex, Wilson, and Head?

[@SVETOGOR1]

where is the info regarding Grip Size? and Why should we care about it? thanks!

[@tenniswarehouse]

@SVETOGOR, We do have a couple videos in regards to grip size, kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZomcYmirm6tof9k, kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHvFfmp6qpqilbc. Troy, TW

[@hanrogu]

i love to hit spin and more curve... what racket should i get ?

[@tenniswarehouse]

There are a lot of good options that we sell. The Babolat Pure Aero and Yonex VCORE 100 tend to be a couple of the most popular choices. While the Head Extreme MP is a good one as well, and for a great price at the moment the Dunlop SX 300 Tour, or Prince Textreme Warrior 100 are both great choices. Troy, TW

[@hanrogu]

@@tenniswarehouse Thank you i will consider on those now

[@kostaslgr]

If the measures were in Metric system it would be better!

[@junkdogsan7068]

Hi a quick question relating to this video, what difference does the material used in the racket do and how. being head using graffine, youtek and Wilson using Kevlar and such?

[@tenniswarehouse]

@Ivanquisher Dub, The difference in materials will translate to different feel at contact. Some materials mute the feel more and keep the sensations comfortable, while others are a bit stiffer feeling. The best way to see how each feel is to demo them side by side and see what you prefer. A lot of the more modern racquets have more of a muted, dampened feel. Michelle, TW

[@KINGBARBOZA]

Are you guys going to review the Vapor X?

[@tenniswarehouse]

@Julian Giorgilli, We are! We just got our Vapor Xs so are in the very initial stages of playtesting them. The review won't be for a couple weeks or so because we need to put some time on them to test the durability! Michelle, TW

[@Frank020]

What about small frame senior men, who are intermediates? What's a good head size? 105 or under or go 110? that is moving around the court and getting into position on fast balls cannot insure a cetered hit. singles only no doubles .

[@tenniswarehouse]

I think as an intermediate you are likely fine with something in the 100-105 headsize range, that said there is nothing wrong with going up to a 110 if you find it advantageous to your playing style. Troy, TW

[@chadhamilton6255]

I was hoping to find out. What does for eg the cortex babolat has -7 and the GT has -9. What does this mean?

[@martinhepburn7897]

Are there advantages of a smaller head size since it reduces the size of the sweet spot, does the power increase when you hit the smaller sweetspot?

[@tenniswarehouse]

The main benefit is an increase in precision, on shot placement. We also notice an increase in the amount of feel for the ball, a more connected feel to the ball on the strings. Troy, TW

[@oatmeat2707]

Question. Is Jason’s favorite shoe the ff or Ubersonic? Buying new shoes and have a medium to wide foot. How bout the vapor x is that pretty snug or wide?

[@tenniswarehouse]

My current favorite shoe is the Gel Court FF. I found the upper to be soft enough to accomodate my wider foot. I just started testing the Vapor X and it has a wider toe box. So far so good with the Vapor X, I just had a little break in issue with the arch. Jason, TW

[@oatmeat2707]

Tennis Warehouse thanks Jason

[@tahmidtajwar4596]

I'm a intermediate level player.... Is Wilson Pro Staff rf97 autograph good for me?

[@tenniswarehouse]

Probably not the RF97 Autograph version, just due to the weight and how hefty that racquet feels, but you might consider the Pro Staff 97 v13 (315 gram version) or the Pro Staff 97L. Troy, TW

[@liftedhippo4255]

What about the height of the rackets

[@EvolutionGaming97]

What about size grip? I have small hands

[@alexgrant4864]

I am an all court player who is 15. I have been using the pro staff 97l cv for 2 year, there are certain thing I love about the racket and some thing I am not so keen on. I love the control I get from the pro staff however like the sweet spot is small and you lose feel and power outside it. I’m. Looking for my racket to be 300-305g and the head size to be 98-100. Any suggestions based on my likes and dislike of my current racket?

[@tenniswarehouse]

I would consider racquets such as, Babolat Pure Strike 98 16x19, Yonex VCORE 98, Wilson Blade 98 16x19, and Head Graphene 360 Speed MP. Troy, TW

[@prathamsharma8713]

@@tenniswarehouse hey Troy too late here but I am just stuck between the ezone 98 and vcore pro 97 310. I am 13. I play with a blade 98 l CV and I generally like 305 ish g (so consider ing the ezone) rackets but I have heard that the vcore pro is great.Would the vcore pro 97 be too heavy for me?? I am an agressive baseliner medium spin.

[@tenniswarehouse]

@@prathamsharma8713 The VCORE Pro offers more control and feel, the EZONE provides a bit easier power. That said the weight of the EZONE 98 would likely be a bit better. Troy, TW

[@LiquidSnake1988]

RF pro staff 90 and 97. Full swing style and back hand like federer. So I need the 12oz RF version since it dampens the vibration right?

[@tenniswarehouse]

@LIQUID SNAKE, Typically heavier frames will dampen vibrations better, so as long as the RF97 Autograph doesn't feel too hefty, then go for it. Troy, TW

[@ttaakkddiirr]

In percentage, what is the difference in power and spin between 16x19 and 18x20 string pattern ?

[@tenniswarehouse]

@Ashrafee Hossain, It is difficult to quantify the difference in a percentage. The main difference between the string patterns, is the launch angle at which the ball exits the string-bed. Typically, with an open pattern (for example 16x19), the ball will exit the string-bed at a slightly higher angle, for a given stroke. This slightly higher launch angle, combined with a bit more ball-pocketing that the open pattern allows for, results in a bit easier depth. Power is primarily effected by the mass and swingweight of a racquet. Troy, TW

[@ona1691]

250 swing weight stiffness 61-68

[@tassiaearaujo6753]

What about the material?

[@raviranjan_GOAT]

Good information,but subtitles is hiding the basic information in the video.

[@tenniswarehouse]

Unfortunately our channel has had some weird issues with subtitles and CC. We've worked endlessly with KZbin and still have some problems with it. Apologies for the inconvenience, we are doing our best to get them on every video moving forward! Michelle, TW

[@flukyreview9128]

The Prince POG is the one racquet that a beginner can learn from and still use it to pro level.

[@Andre_birds]

Oh really? Great! Coz there's one Prince Graphite 110,the four-striped one, just hanging here and haven't been use for decades. I don't play tennis but it's good to know that this racquet would be great for beginners if I gain the interest in the future. Thankss!

You can convert hamburgers over school shoot-ups to cm2 by multiplying it with banana / 3. Don't be lazy and just use it!

The biggest racket head 105sq inches

[@DRaqaON]

Then what are L1L2L3 and L4

[@tenniswarehouse]

Those are the grip sizes, L1=4 1/8", L2= 4 1/4", etc. It is a more simple way of listing the grip size, and is common in Europe for the grip size listing. Troy, TW

[@DRaqaON]

@@tenniswarehouse Thanks a lot

[@bsvphotography7]

[@aswerty911]

if bigger head size= bigger sweet spot, why wouldnt intermediate or advanced players use it as well? the bigger heads?

[@tenniswarehouse]

It is somewhat personal preference, and there have been some professionals who use oversize racquets. That said, with a larger headsize racquet, players will often note a lack of precision. Most professionals nowadays, use 95-100 square inch headsizes. Troy, TW

[@RubenWhitter]

I want a racket that'll hit the ball back across the court. At this point I'm better off using the end of my shoe.

[@tenniswarehouse]

@Ruben Whitter, We think a racquet still might be a better option ;) Let us know if we can help narrow it down! Michelle, TW

[@michaelpraditya511]

Nadal is an intermediate ?

[@tenniswarehouse]

Not by any means. There are many pros who use 100 sq. inch headsize racquets, and I believe Rafa has some weight added to his frames. Troy, TW
