Paired with ReString Zero and Sync, and the combination makes this setup the ultimate cheat code!
Without hesitation, I replaced my RF97 Autographs with this model after the first hit. Here are my initial impressions.
- Feels great in the hand. The slick, glossy black is honestly a better texture than the velvety matte black of the Pro Staff line, and will last longer.
- The handle buildup is integrated into the composite layup instead of the molded polyurethane pallets that other mass-produced frames come with. For me, this translated into better connection with the ball.
- For comparison, contact and feel are 80% similar to Pro Staff and 20% similar to Blade. Ultimately plays like a Pro Staff that is a tad more flexible and an entire ounce lighter.
- I ordered a pair of sticks weighing in at about 5 grams difference. If this is a concern, consider the Racquet Matching service.
- The trap door logo is a sticker, which is a subtle reminder that you're not playing with an "established brand" but I'm not looking down there often anyway.
I've made zero changes to my swing mechanics and can play for longer with this lighter frame. This was a win.
I tried the racquet once and purchased a second one. It's that good!
