Wilson Shift Play Test 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqqnYXuCg9GXrKssi=CvmlC7h-X5oJIjFH

[@caseysmith544]

I will say the same thing for modern metal racquets provided they have bigger heads like a 98 or 100 square inch or bigger frame this includes modern aluminum if using aluminum that is not too whippy as in thin heads or using excessively modern 2000's on up titanium alloy frames. These other frames will usually play the same similar to using modern graphite or modern carbon fiber frames with a few exceptions on brands experiments that were duds or are no longer made like some Wilson Hammer models or old ProKennex that do not use the modern weight shift bead tech. This is why I can still use an older 25 inch long aluminum ProKennex Jr Pro Ace from the Power Contour era having mainly 4 of the blue & red 4.25 inch grip made in Taiwan model and 3 of the Chinese yellow & black with 4 inch grip, I got a bunch of backup for my original blue & red I got in 2001--2002 where the smaller grip is used when very tired backup during a match becuse of the grip size and weight of racquet being sightly lighter unless I am doing very well with the more popular, harder to find used on e-Bay blue & red model. My racquets have my unique choice of over grip I use becuse the base grip was failing even on 2 of the yellow that were nearly new with the shrink wrap on the grip, the grip was failing.

[@philanthropenos1074]

Easier to change your racquet than correcting your mistakes

[@rdmalonso1]

@@philanthropenos1074I find that every racquet I try has the same defect. It can’t keep the ball in the court.

[@danstenis660]

I have a 6 points clamping system on my stringer. My string tension is no more than 43 pounds. I do break a string once a week. My 2 rackets have lasted about 9 years already, and still going strong. Rackets last much longer than people think.

[@mattstevenson7949]

Quick note about stocking up on your favorite racquets. Remember to also stock up on Grommet replacements! Grommets are super cheap, usually $10-15/set while the racquet is in production, but once they move to the next model they stop making grommets for the previous one. I've found one guy out there who sells grommets for older model racquets charging around $100 per set because he KNOWS for people to keep using their racquets, they need grommets as those wear out very easily.

[@dwight_klaus2981]

Very true. I cannot find grommets for my 10 year old Wilson ProStaff RF97 frames any more 😢

[@ReaperThugX]

Another important factor if you’re going to have multiple frames of the same racket is the manufacturer’s inconsistency in manufacturing. The weight and balance can vary from racket to racket of the same model. Having them matched to each other is very important. For example, Babolat will list their weights with an error of +/- 7g. So those 300g Pure Drives you just bought could be anywhere from 293g to 307g and Babolat is ok with that.

[@kogoromori5198]

I have two prince frames of the same model with 15 points difference in string weight! Not identical at all 😅

[@enematwatson1357]

That's actually pretty much the industry standard. Babolat is only unique in being the last manufacturer who print their tolerances on the frame.

[@ucbrad]

Thanks for your insights. I've found that this is even worse with shoes. I have a wide (2E) foot, and so my options are limited. I buy 2 or more pairs at a time. I ran a few marathons in my 20's, and I remember having a different pair for each one. The iterative changes in toe box size, heel to toe drop, etc would sometimes render the next iteration of a shoe utterly unlike the past one of the same "line" (or at least different enough that it mattered).

[@virtualyme7659]

I play with a frame until it is worn out. It's a gradual thing and can go unnoticed to some degree. I was playing with a frame for several years and I got a new spare and the difference was quite stark. The one I was playing with was so much softer and less crisp. So I always keep that in the back of my mind knowing that they don't last forever but they can last for quite some time.

[@jeffstulberg]

Interesting. I noticed the same thing recently. I've been using the yonex duel g for a while and have been toying with the idea of changing frames. I noticed that every racquet I try feels more crisp and mine is a little too soft. Maybe it's time to put this one to bed.

[@Adolfomart999]

Get spare grommets sets for your racquets

[@TuanNguyen-hu8ue]

I agree with your view, Nick. Since Graphite was introduced, the next major change in the rackets was the shape of the Babolat Pure Aero, in my opion. I’m playing with the Pro Staff 97 315 gr Countervail, and having no problem if I switch to the Prince Precision Response 97, or Prince Phantom 97

[@WaltKurtz68]

My racket rotation is a little bit different. I have racket 1 strung, play with it until it needs restringing. Then, instead of racket 1 I have racket 2 strung freshly, and play with that one until it needs restringing. Then racket no.3, and after that one the cycle starts over. The other two rackets are then back-up / spare rackets in the mean time.

[@CH-yp5by]

A lot of advanced players have multiple racquets for tension reasons. They use the tightest tensions for news balls as you will have more control and change the racquet after the second set to a racquet with a lower tension where they get more power so they do not have to work as hard and the ball has soften up by then so it works fine. Personally I'm not at that level lol

[@anw9485]

Great video! I've been playing with the 2022 Speed MP for a while and love it. But I bought the shiny, new, black 2024 Speed Legend MP a few months ago and although I like it, I like the 2022 Speed better. The 2024 with the Auxetic 2.0 just feels kinda dead and muted. I could sell the Legend and buy another 2022 but the Legend looks so good so holding onto it for now. 😄

[@randrothify]

Totally agree with the racquet rotation advice. It’s ultimately cheaper to buy several racquets and rotate their usage than only using one extensively and keeping the others in reserve. I would add one caveat: buy multiples of the same racquet proportion to the number of times per week that you play so that you are ideally only playing a frame once a week. So if you play four times a week, buy four of the same racquet. If three times a week, get three racquets, and so on provided that you can afford to do so. Should save you money in the long run.

[@dustyroot4708]

Ceramics deteriorate quickly compared to all graphite. But, you’re right about the noticeable difference in feel.

[@xllms]

I used to play with Yamaha ceramic series White Gold 100 when I was in my teens. The feel was really nice. Wish I can snag one in ebay or in Japanese used rackets stores now.

[@bmanbusee3812]

Good video and glad you mentioned the stringing and play aspect. A frequent player would have a difficult time playing with the same racquet over a 5 year span. My racquet is over a year old and recently bought the same one and the difference is noticeable. The stiffness also goes considerably down after a while which contributes to the feel

[@a2max280]

Same with golf clubs and balls. Grateful that I can demo new iterations. The only kinds of experimenting I'm doing these days are shoe insoles. I probably will splurge this christmas on a new tennis bag. I doubt I'll buy another racquet because the newest generation Gravity with Hyper-G Soft truly improved my game.

[@soysaucehairdye7869]

My Grandpa was an executive at AMF Voit and those early all graphite Arthur Ashe rackets were pretty cool. Those were the rackets I first used as a left hander with a one handed backhand.

[@zanido9073]

13:40 that sounds like a great way to wear down your strings so they all break during an important match.

[@julianpenfold1638]

Been using the same set of decent quality rackets for 15 years. The problem is in the operator, not the equipment.

[@juliashulgin4232]

Useful information. Thank you.

[@dandan8118]

Nick has all good points as usual. One thing about the copoly strings though is that, if the 'nicks' (pun intended lol) in the crosses are deep enough that they prevent the mains from moving/sliding against the crosses with light force, then this will significantly change the playing characteristics of the string such that you might as well be using a very stiff, tightly strung strings. The deep notches in the crosses will effectively eliminate the 'snapback' of the mains and thereby reduce the spin potential, and the overall stringbed will feel way more solid, as if you're playing with a plyboard.

[@huynhxuanviet9818]

This is true for any racket sports. I play badminton and also notice the same phenomenon in my sport.

[@iceman1125]

this is a really informative video, and nik is right, modern racket releases use mostly the same frame and change paintjob and move the weight distribution around to give us a different 'feel' of the racket. You can easily create different weight feel by tinkering with leadtape and customizing frames to 'your specs' instead. Companies have become greedy, charging us to shell out 250+ dollars for a new frame which only a few years ago used to cost around 150

[@nongroupthought5076]

I think its very bold to post these sort of video, so I salute you sir. Recreational players should focus on improving their technique as supposed to switching rackets Everytime thinking their skills will get better all of a sudden with a new racket. In addition tennis is a sport of reoccurring cost which can pan out pretty expensive. Focus on your game not your tool

[@DBoi333]

One thing to add: If you see yourself using the same frame for a long time (5+ years), go ahead and buy spare grommets, and for my fellow scrapers, buy bumper guards. They are often sold together as a set.

[@JimEdmiston]

I wouldn't have typed my post if I had already read the comments section lol great call and totally agree, should have been included.

[@andrewhwang8951]

Nice to see you holding the Diadem Nova… I was guessing you might try that and the Dunlop FX 500 as possible subs for your old Pure Drive. How do you like it?

[@JimEdmiston]

Nick, why didn't you mention replacing the plastic bumper guard atop the frame when it gets worn down from scraping the ground? That can prevent damaging the frame and prevent breaks. Also healthy to replace the grommets after dozens of restrings. Your thoughts?

[@wongjefx980]

OMG I still have my Dunlop Max 300i somewhere. As I change as a player, move up a level at the club, will treat myself to a new stick. My last was Yonex Vcore Pro. Be nice to get the new Percept, because heard has better feel and more pop, but don’t have $300 to throw around.

[@Dasato123]

In a lot of cases it’s a Change but not necessarily an Improvement. 😂

[@ivanromero4936]

Hi Nick! A question regarding your racquet journey, How would you compare the Diadem Nova that you are holding in this video to your Pure Drive? Could it be your next racquet? And why aren't you considering the current Pure Drive?

[@caseysmith544]

With strings like a synthetic gut in an aluminum racquet or a cheap graphite model do this same test and if you are not seeing much snapback of the string or/and that really loud griding sound it is time for a replacement even if the string is in usable shape as these are signs that the racquet is near breaking the strings. However, you need to do restring with a synthetic gut or multifilament with outer nylon that is not using modern poly on the inside but a Kevlar braiding or braided nylon, possibly an older style braded poly inside, becuse those modern fully poly strings will need to be so low for vibration dampening the aluminum racquet could give elbow or shoulder issues having to power hard. Older poly style strings that tension out quick can be used in an aluminum racquet. Nearly the same rules apply for titanium racquets using mainly multifilament or cheap/older poly style strings for the racquet but not nylon gut/synthetic gut as the racquet tends to break quicker like in more powerful graphite or standard carbon fiber racquets.

[@maxbet7221]

Great Tips in this Video....ty Nikola 😉

[@IntuitiveTennis]

🙏

[@nightowldickson]

Grommets can be difficult to source if your racquet is several generations old, best to grab spares if you intend to keep using the same racquet. Grommets of later versions are often different when manufacturers make design changes.

[@chandanpandit4867]

Hi Nick , I would like to know what you think about the Artengo 930 Spin pro. On 285,300 gm, it is accessible. Please make a tennis racquet video featuring the Artengo.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

[@Tennis040]

Small tip buy from guys who has the stencil on the racket and subscriped as original stringed or buy the nr. 6 or 7 or 8 raquet from pro's cause the pkay time of this raquet is most in practice sessions

[@applesforakbar]

I'll add a few thoughts: - if you truly love a racquet(s), more often than not if it's a newer release they'll sell the grommets for that racquet. Stock up on those. - a racquet that has gone through more string jobs will inherently be a softer racquet, it's RA will go down. - if you're playing hard like Nick mentions and scuff up/chip the paint, or shaving down the grommets, etc not only will this affect the balance, more importantly imo, its swingweight will alter. - I personally count/log hours on poly rather than times a month. I usually dont keep in poly over 25 hours I personally change mine after 14 simply because I have the luxury of restringing at home and I can tell the properties have declined after that point. Just my 2 cents :)

[@Vdkotsinyan]

Thanks for sharing, Have you been able to actually measure the changes in RA as racket gets older?

[@Siloguy]

Yeah my stringer said the same, racquets will last a long time but the grommets wear out and it will be hard finding replacements for older models.

[@WaltKurtz68]

I mainly use multifilament and I have never had a string fray or break. I've had stringjobs last for over two years. I try not to use a stringjob for more than a year, though. I must say I use a lot of different rackets and I play twice a week, so no racket gets a ton of use. Which automatically makes 'em last longer.

[@FYProduction]

I use rubber band from OfficeDepo as dampener. Not only it’s cheap, I can also write on it the date of the new strings. That way, I don’t need to number my racquets but just use the one with the oldest date. I also see if the poly strings are deeply notched but more often, I restring once the date on the rubber band had faded/disappeared from sun/oxidation.

[@miguelbarahona6636]

Yes because writing on the rubber band is easier than putting a sticker with a single digit number (1, 2, 3) on a racket.

[@saxmanphd]

What's the difference in rotating frames each hit vs hitting with one until the strings break and going to the next one?

[@Phoniq]

I was just thinking of this very thing. The technology has come a long way that what else could they change. I mean there are die hards who keep comparing Ezone updates to the DR98. I think in some cases the first iteration of a racquet model is usually the rawest and best ie the Bab Aero Pro Drive. But it all comes down to commerce right.

[@hattorihanzo158]

I'm always wondering if it's bad to hit your shoes with the racket (when playing on clay, to get rid of the clay on the soles). What's your take on that, nik?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

That’s tough, I do that instinctively It’s prob bad 😩

[@enematwatson1357]

Probably nowhere near as bad as hitting the ball with it. 😅 Most probably also infinitesimal compared to restringing. 😏

[@hannesbacklund1180]

Spot on, if you want to make a little change to your racket don't change the entire racket, experiment with new strings.

[@TenisAmador]

About the lifespan: personally I break strings with 18-20h of hitting (18x19 TFight 305). My brother breaks with 6-7h (16x20 Vcore 95). I rotate between string jobs. Why? If I rotate evenly (on practice per day), I may risk breaking both strings in the same match/tournament. I'm also a bit of a nerd, so I know exactly how many hours/string jobs my racquets have, how many hours my shoes were used, etc. Notion is a great tool to keep track of that. Btw, I differentiate the racquets by using dampeners with different colors. Just had an issue with a crack on the throat of my TF305, when it had barely 70 hours of play time and was restrung only 4 times.

[@aaronoh3911]

I have a question. If one no longer plays or has retired a racket, is it best to remove the strings or it’s okay to just keep the racket strung?

If you are in the top 100 work with your companys pro stringer for what you want. Top 1000, get about 4 matching sticks and stay with them till you move up. Good club players need 2 to 3 good clubs and if you serve hard with spin learn to string them your self. If your sticks are under 15 years old with good grommets and you like them your good to go. Time to thiink about your shoes.

[@CH-yp5by]

Yep like many hobbies/ passions people can contract GAS rather easily! Gear Acquisition Syndrome! Once I found the racquet that suited my game, I stuck with it and tinkered with it with lead weight numerous string setups (which can seem endless) until I found the one that works best. I have used the same racquet for 4 years and will continue to do so! But yes its annoying, I cannot buy the model anymore unless its on ebay.

Me: I usually have 2 or 3 rackets. My poly lasts lets say 16 hours until it goes dead. Use racket A until it needs to be restrung. Get it restrung and put it in your bag. Use racket B until it needs to be restrung. Get it restrung and put it in bag. Use racket A again. Repeat. NOT COMPLICATED. Also, do this so you do NOT have a favorite racket (assuming rackets are the same). The last thing you want is to have the strings break on your "favorite" racket in a tight match forcing you to have to use your non favorite. Lastly, better yet, have 3 rackets. Use the third to try/test different strings and/or different tensions. Currently using and loving the Percept 97 FWIW.

[@johncharles2357]

Alternating rackets frequently, say alternating 3 rackets as you say, does not increase the lifespan of the rackets. All your doing is distributing the lifespan across 3 rackets. Time-wise, it is the same as playing with racket #1 for its lifespan, then playing with racket #2 for its lifespan, and so on.

But then you don't have any spare rackets. It's better to age them uniformly. What are you gonna do when you're on the last racket and you break a string?
