    i'm wondering, how good does a player need to be in order to benefit more from an extra stiff Ti10 rather than a less stiff racquet such as Ti7. i know that a player need to have a strong arm and wrist to get the most out of a Ti10, but exactly how strong do he need to be? can someone describe a hypothetical player who is qualified to use a ti10? ie. what skills he possesses that allow him to benefit most from a Ti10.

    that's a joke, right? seems like lots of people from this forum has a ti10, and does that means most of them shouldn't be using one?

    why do you have to be as good as Gade? He uses a Slim-10

    :lol:
    I by no means play like Peter.
    but still gotta play with what feels comfortable for you.
    If the ti10 feels good for you, and plays well for you, i say go for it, and stick with it. :)

    But i would add to what Kelvin has said that you do need in my opinion to do or to have slightly stronger forearms a nd wrist strength as i feel that the racket doesn't do too much for you by itself (you cant be lazy with it).

    although i doubt that's the main reason why you beat your opponent. i'm sure you could have beaten him almost just as easily with a 5$ alluminum racquet.
