the answer is in the unboxing video

Maybe it was said but I had a tough time hearing the part when you had the switch out. Do you k is if that little strip would fit onto other rackets? It looked like it just fit over grommets but I don't know.

No, it's a special clipping system incorporated in the frame, you wouldn't be able to use it on regular rackets.

Darn, it makes sense but I was dreaming.

kwun should help me to get some demos as well. I am quite intrigued with their products so far and can't wait to see how well it will do in this sport

Tried the adizero pro today. Didnt have high expectation coz i am not big fan of light weight racket but I was surprised by it.

**gundamzaku** · 02-10-2013, 09:25 PM

Kwun I did but the guy at the said I had to pay to go in tho I explained to him that I wasn't going to play, and I didn't bring my gear...so disappointed, and I've never seen him before either!

and that's kinda what it feels like. not too head heavy, but weighty enough to feel solid and swingable at the same time.

Thanks for responding to my post bud!

Are you aware of which racket in Adidas' lineup that will be similar to the Yonex Voltric 80?

One last thing and that's weight. Will Adidas have any rackets in the 4U range? If so, which ones?

Post #409 in the thread details racket weights. Post number is listed on the right side of the title bar for each comment.

4u is 80 to 85 gramms so at least two rackets will be in this weight range.

Kwun,

I know someone asked this above, so apologies for repeating the question, but can you tell us the max warrantied tension for the rackets, a rough range will do, don't need to know it for each one

My carlton's tend to be warrantied up to 28 lbs whilst my Yonex rackets are around the 24lb mark, I string my rackets 26-27 lbs so that's a definate plus point for Carlton.

Also, what sort of string patterns are they using, anything like the DX system? Did they also provide you with a recommended string pattern guide?

Thanks
