Fantastic racquet. I've tried over 20 racquets and keep coming back to this one. The swing feels a lot like the new Amp 175, except not as head heavy. Use this racquet with a Gamma shockbuster and python grip and there are no racquets that even compare. The vibration is completely elimiated and the feel is tremendous. It's better than the Microgel extreme 180 and on PAR with the Amp 175. It beats all the Wilson, Ektelon and E-Force racquets that I've tried. Factory strings are probably strung over 40 lbs because it hits like a 2x4. Replace the strings at 32 or 33 lbs and you won't be disappointed. I recommend a soft multifilament string. Good luck.

BEST RACQUET EVER, KILLS EKTELON. ONLY REASON PROS USE EKTELON IS CAUSE THEY PAY MORE. HEAD IS SO BIG IN TENNIS THEY DONT PAY THE PLAYERS WELL. BUT THE RACQUETS ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE THE PROS STILL PLAY IT.
