![]() ohbh - risky business with a light, low-power frame like vcp97 It’s like a demo by proxy when you can’t get a demo.ĭisclaimer: 2hbh, playing 2019 vcp97 + 5g in the hoop. ohbh - risky business with a low-swingweight, low-power frame like vcp97īefore you go for the new frame, experiment a bit with different strings / tensions on your current racket, maybe add some weight and see what it gets in terms of free power. that loopy forehand - is it a full motion? Is it more of a forward swing as opposed to an upward brush? Does your elbow end up nicely in front of your chin? If mostly yes on these, you might be ok with vcp97, but I don’t see how you’d get more power vs your current vcp100. For defense / countering you’d need to add weight or get an incrementally more stable frame in general. vcp97 is for an agressive / dictating game, not defense. vc100 better for free power, but not for a sensitive arm. on paper, new vcp100 sounds like the best guess if you wanna stick with vcp. It’s really a guess what will fit you, but from your self-described playing style and frequency, I would say: It sounds like you wanna go for the vcp97 I get that, am also a fan. Would appreciate if someone can guide me. What bothers me is the Pure Aero style beam design, which is very awkward to hold for a one handed backhand player like me. Good comfort, power and stability, and it is probably the racket I should be switching too. ![]() I'm worried about the stiffness accentuating my trigger finger problemĮzone 98 (2022) - From what I've read, this is basically good at everything. Would I be getting too ahead of myself? Does this even suit my game as I've described above? Would the weight be too much? ![]() More stability perhaps? My concern is the 97sqinch head and the lack of power. Thin beam, which I prefer for slicing and one handed backhand. VCP 97 310g (2021) - 60RA so easier on the arm. Do let me know if I'm getting ahead of myself by considering any or all of these. Here's my analysis of what I would get from each racket. Since I live in Dubai, I can't demo rackets. I have already hit with the 2019 VCP 97 which had lead at 9&3 and it felt nice but it was just for 20 minutes. So coming to my main query I want to move onto a new racket sticking with the Yonex Lineup. I like to get creative and do go for lobs and drop shots often. My volleys are not that great, and my serve and overheads are just trash. somehow I've become a very defensive player, going for winners only on my backhand side. I do come to the net occasionally but I would say I'm more of a scrambler. I have a loopy forehand with a lot of net clearance but not a lot of power, but I can be very consistent with it. I have a one handed backhand where I can generate good power. To my surprise not only did my game get better but my trigger finger problem got better as well. I decided to add lead tape at 9&3 for stability and a leather grip to balance it out making it around 322g strung with an overgrip. Earlier this year I suffered from borderline arithritis, basically trigger finger in 3 of my fingers on my right hand (might be because of my kickboxing past and not entirely because of tennis). For most of that time I've been using the Vcore Pro 100 alpha - this is essentially a takedown version of VCP 100 but made in china and is 290g unstrung instead of 300g. ![]() So, I've been playing tennis for about 2 years - twice a week. It's my first post on the forums, even though I actively read a lot of stuff on here. ![]()
