IMO, thin box beamed Prince Phantom Pro 100P should be on that list too! Had low expectations, but what a revelation! It’s a 100 square inch racquet that feels like the old thin box beamed Wilson Tour 90. So far, my tennis buddys have noticed a big improvement in my game with this Prince!

Yonex Vcore Pro 97 310 was the best frame for this year!
Have tested multiple frames for the brands but find the Yonex Vcore Pro 97 that I did customize by far the best frame out of those that you mentioned....

never seen anyone who could hit while smiling to the camera. Nice work, Michele!!!

Odd, I would have thought that the EZone 98 would have been in here. They all seemed to be initially disappointed by its greater stiffness rating vs the previous DR model, but nevertheless liked the additional power.

[alainbrouillaud]

Interesting... no Wilson racquet in the bunch.

Was using the Yonex VCORE 95 then put Selleys no more gap in the handle and it’s even better, great control and power.

[Mooncat]

Not even a single racquet from Volkl and they came out with the entire V-feel line which has some incredible racquets.

I can’t wait to see Babolats update on the Aero Tour. My fav of the Pure Aero group

[carlomac]

Good to see Prince and Dunlop in there, a pity none of the Volkl’s did

[kjcleverly]

All great racquets! Looking forward to the Aero family release for sure. Still not used to no Andy tho :(

Hi! Please can you provide a comparison between the Prince Textreme Beast 98 and Head Graphene 360 Speed Pro? Thank you!

[Jon_Dang]

Michelle, you are getting more fit, that's great! Happy holidays!

[hooser]

What about the Graphene Touch Extreme MP Tennis Racquet?

[louisakin]

I have a pure aero(not the 2019) and I'm looking for a good string that gives me nice spin and control on my strokes so I can take huge swings and the ball won't fly away. It also should be around 12$ or lower.
Are there maybe 2 strings with these characteristics that you can recommend?

Hi everyone at Tennis Warehouse, hope you all had a great Christmas! I see during the playtest of the Dunlop Srixon Cx Tour 18x20, you had it strung with weisscannon ultra cable. I use the very similar wilson ultra tour... Would you recommend the same string? Im looking for control and maximum spin... But would love a bit of free power (but not priority). Also any other strings you would suggest to try? Thanks!

Kind of a grand question for you guys but I've played with the Prince EXO3 Black for about 7 years now and I need and want to get something new. Is there a tool on your website or elsewhere where I can compare racquet specs? You guys said in your review that the EXO3 Black is a little bit muted in feel but it's very solid and reliable from the baseline and for hard, driving shots.

How did TW determine these were the top frames of 2018? I'd imagine everyone would have score or rate the frames even though they weren't on the official written review.

[gabedraper]

I 'v been a user of TW's knowledge and information ....to decide everything from racquets, strigns, bags, shoes, etc, but when I see a rank based on the new racquets that they "must sell" for 2019 it disappoint me a little...

[agrious]

Any idea when the reviews for the new solecourt boosts will be out?
