    I believe he does, he can do almost all the RKEP grips, but to be honest you may want to do it yourself. That way you can experiment with different thicknesses of wrapping before you actually cut the grip.

    Hmmm, let me think about that. I already found my desired thickness with the Ultimate Grip on my previous racket though. I'll ask Dan about this.

    Indeed insane. Based on what Panda said, the ZM62 has a rating of up to 28 lbs. tension only.

    ZM62 @ 27lbs --> OMG!!!

    wow. that was pretty nice.

    the feel and touch is incredible.

    strange that the sweetspot move down the racket face and i have to hold the end of the handle to really feel the repulsion.

    defense is worse because of the lack of bounce on slower shots. but harder shots like drive, clear, smash are pretty incredible. most ppl who tried it also went "wow".

    i am slightly addicted. this is not good.

    just hope you wouldn't be addicted to stringing that same racket every 2 or 3 sessions!

    the drive shots especially, it can produce a loud sound even your opponent trembles..

    i certainly hope you meant electronic stringing machine :D

    if electronic stringer using mechanical machine then that would be funny ;):p

    anyway just a joke and i just noticed your racket is a prince triple thread oversize :eek:

    then 30 lbs with zymax 0.62mm using mechanical machine is not that high really ;)

    enjoy ;)

    btw, you are in jakarta? is libra sports still opening?

    A stringer told me that oversize racquets like the Prince models should be strung 1 or 2 lbs higher than usual due to the larger frame size.
