    Even balanced, Traditional Head, Widebody Section, 2U weight.

    Or something like the MP-100 with a more streamlined frame section for maneuverability.

    Any! Like to try out all different kind of racket and see if some rackets really live up to it's price tag and hype. Always interested to see how different racket design / construction can affect one's game play.

    Nope ... It doesn't. Tried quite a few from the AR-55 to AR-100. Didn't like the feel of it. It seems that at 23 to 25 lbs tension and on, the racket feels 'dead' ... lack of feel. Thus very difficult to gauge the strength required for soft shots.

    And the sweetspot gets really small too...

    That's my opinion only that is. Not everyone agrees.

    maybe back then u didn't have bg80, 85, 88, 68 on your aerotus so it is unfair to say it has no feel compare to your current rackets with those newer strings. Just my guess :)

    Hmm ..

    Maybe .. But its more of the dud feel of the frame rather than overall racket when I string at reasonable tensions of about 22 to 24 lbs. And the sweetspot gets really small too.

    That's why I didn't like them.

    But maybe the strings will make a difference like the feel of the Ti-10 on Bg-68 and Bg-85. Quite dramatic actually.
