    Yeah I see where you are coming from, and agree, and I don't do pain/injury well....

    No such colour as Red, Red does not exist!

    So Yellow is the way forward.

    Gosen first - I'm telling you, you'll dump BG80 and save a fortune.

    Lol Teebs.

    Well my rev bowed out with a bang. Or a crack. Clashed defending a smash. Was a good run, albeit short. Now I'm going to hang her on my wall as a decoration.

    Onwards to new and brighter things!

    Is that like a fertility symbol on your racket ? Think it is something we had in Science class in the 70's
    in Canada.

    nah its nothing personal . In Canada we try to be politically correct so back in the old days put symbols instead of wording on things. No harm meant just brought back memories. Guess I am old had to go look up what troll meant. Lived under bridges when I was a lad. :)

    Congrats Dink for somehow making a racquet that's better looking in the flesh than the revelation!

    This thing feels soft to flex in the hand, softer than mx60 maybe. I'll see how it actually plays on Monday. I'm expecting silly power...

    No. But compared to 3 weeks I had to wait to play with mx60 I can't complain. Grip it today, string Monday, playing TUESDAY!

    Not exactly my current preference of stiff even balance but feels like it will be fun.

    Hang on - it got there already?

    Yes, the shaft is a bit softer in the hand... but something happens when you swing it.

    Yeah, pretty standard Monday-thursday herpes delivery here. Not the regular lady so the dude even knocked on the door.

    Yeah I'm hoping it plays like the rev stiffness, that is a very nice balance of responsive vs power.

    Nega-Dan style? Playability says yes, eyes so God No.

    Yellow g08 don't match so I went with white.

    Still deciding string but so far I'm going to match the previous ideal setup on the rev. Mark, I WILL be trying a stupid over-tension vs850 next :)
