for those who has cost as their priority but want the advantage that poly provides, hybrid-ding is good, but you may need to experiment with the cheap synthetic gut. Some syn gut is comfortable at the go, but some like head syn gut pps might take some time to get used to.

For stringers, hybrid or full synthetic is such a pleasant experience .. hehe..
i did a few hybrids this past few days and its so much nicer to string compared to full setup of poly which is a pain in the ass.. haha

the non-textured polys are easy to string. most of the time, it's the textured poly that is the pain in the ass (finger). textured and stiff is a bad combo for stringers.

Argh.... damn bad stuff. Last Saturday my Radical cracked. What racquet to get now???

Hmmm.. I'm always worried about switching strings. Have tried ALU rough and ALU Power Rough before... somehow didn't just make the cut (or is it because I've been playing with kevlar almost forever)....

I'm kinda feeling that crossing kevlar with poly.... erm... how do i get such a combo? Buy Crossfire II, buy ALU Rough, and string? WOWZZ $$$$$

Also, I mean, i've tried soft polys like black code and red code before... didn't seem as ~soft as what I thought it would be.. wouldn't string kevlar AND poly be kinda like kicking the edge a little bit?

My Head Youtek Radical Pro is available for sales at RM350 (8/10 condition) and Rm450 (10/10 condition).

how did u crack your racket?!

ok ma, xfire ii + alu rough... you get 1 set of xfire+alu rough and another set of alu rough+syn gut. it would be pricy, but i dun think it's such a good idea.

Sigh... from a moment of madness.

u are mad alright, luckily it's not one of those PS6.0s... haha..

Thanks for the offer bro, but I find the Youtek series a little too stiff for me.

So I was using the Flexpoint Rad. Anything in the market that is perhaps a little heavier? Perhaps 330gm strung, but not too stiff. I normally play baseline. No Babolats for now, they're so stiff.

Oh, I called a couple of shops,the new Head and Wilson line are arriving around CNY or early February. Apparently no change in RRP for Wilson.

ohh noo jules.. such a rare and hard to find racket.. me and carto still looking for that racket.. haha

I know... I still got one more though. But it's in a worse condition. So just looking around for other choices now.

Mr Jules, how much is the RRP for the new wilson series?thx

Youtek Radical Pro stifness according to tennis warehouse is only 58 compared to flexpoint which is at 63. Want to try? :-)

exo3t if you don't mind the bad PJ quality...

jules,

get the latest blx prostaff 95..

BLX prostaff I saw from TW review and Dimitrov play.
Really low power man this racquet.
Duno whether is playable for us or not.

ck , can wan . then we use high power string.. string low tension to compromise.. low power means more control..

Yea I read the review. I tested the Youtek Radical, it was stiffer than mine. So yea...

Added on January 10, 2012, 2:43 pmI tested the Tour Team, not bad honestly. It's one to think about. Moreover with the Buy 1 Free 1 promotion.
