I play with ezone 98. Never played with 100. And I love the racquet .

You would get a little bit more power and a little bit bigger of a sweet spot with the 100 over the 98. If all you wanted was more power, you could also try dropping string tension on the 98 a little bit (or looking at some different string options). That'd let you keep everything you like about the 98 and would let y...

I was thinking of switching to shift collection but have tough time choosing beetwen 16 or the 18 string version. I would be looking for more weight, but wanna hear other reviews as I usually played with all string patterns before. Really look forward to what shift can offer in future

The rackets would be the exact same between the 2. The 18 would be strung with a 1.20mm string while the 16 with 1.30 string.

Imo there's a pretty big gap between the Shift and the Shift pro. From my own demoing, my conclusion was that the Shift Pro was much more in line with Wilson's other pro racquets, like the Blade Pro or Ultra Pro. I know the specs are similar to just a regular Blade, but for whatever reason I found the demo to be a real...

I play mainly with the Shift and have tried both. The Shift Pro is absolutely an advanced frame and I found way too heavy and hard to take advantage of how spinny the frame is. I currently use the regular Shift but added 2g + overgrip on the handle and 4g at 12’ and that made it perfect for me (~325 sw).

I think the Shift Pro is the most "out of the box" playable of the "Pro" lines. The Ultra Pro is really a platform racquet - it needs help b/c it is underpowered, but it is fantastic after you customize it. And the Blade Pro comes pretty head heavy. The Shift Pro is more head light in stock form, and I think that makes...

Agreed with your thoughts on the BP. Such a sick frame but just a bit too sluggish for me. If I could shave off 5-8pts of swing weight it'd be a dream.

Maybe try to demo one at a local shop? I agree with the previous poster though. You're talking about a 12 year old racket, I don't think anyone will know of an alternative model that's going to be a better match. Alternatively, try to find the old one on eBay?

Get a jump rope and do 1 or 2 minute sessions about 15 minutes before your warmup. You will be surprised how you feel once you get your heart rate up. And in the warmup just say hey can I get some more ground strokes volleys or serves. You don’t have to go at your opponents pace

Being up big in a tiebreak or like 40-0 on serve can be such a trap. You lose a point and think “nbd just get the next one”. Get a little nonchalant and all of a sudden you drop 3-4 quick points. So long as you’re playing a quality opponent, I always try and remind myself, I just broke off 3-4 points in a row, why ca...

Yeah, I’ve definitely got a higher level that he couldn’t touch. Even with the DFs and only getting about 70% of what I normally do on my first serves, I was easily able to take control of the match…just let myself down a bit. Good learning experience for the next one though.

I feel like most of my service breaks happen once I am up 30-0, you relax a bit, your opponent plays a bit more high percentage tennis the next few points, and a couple of mistakes later you are down 30-40 and pissed at yourself.

Along with stiffness you’re not leaning into the ball. Your foot is coming back down barely two inches in front of the baseline. A flat should also have power behind it. Toss the ball farther in front of you loosen your swing and lean into it.

Leading with the edge is good, but for a flat serve, be sure to turn your palm toward the court. Better yet, forget about blowing balls by your opponents, which can be blocked back by decent players, as flat serves are low %. Just work on accuracy, hard slices, and a kick serve.
