    Ihoooo!!!!!



    I finally got my racket Gungnir ALPHA (G-TONE 5 strung).

    First impressions is very good, I feel racket in my hand like I know alpha for a long time. Had is lite but smashes is very powerful (IMHO) very quick reaction in defence.

    (I’m beginner, my experience is less then 1 year )

    The drives and attacking play is amazing!

    That edge looks... interesting... wavy?!
    Would that be more aerodynamic than a simple straight sharp edge?

    Interesting frame profile. Wonder about durability at high tensions though.

    Will look really nice with a purple string. Where was this image from?

    I've been looking all over the net but can't find it.

    Which begs the question, why this profile? Aerodynamics? Sound? Strength?

    Does Fleet also have a similar racket, since it shares the same OEM as Gosen?

    Specs on shaft :
    Stiffness 4/7
    Head heaviness 5/7

    Should be quite user friendly.

    That is a gorgeous and original-looking racket! :)

    The wavy frame looks like a wrought-iron railing (which are so tedious to sand and paint :rolleyes:)

    Yeah I wonder if Fleet manufactured this racket. They are the manufacturers of the Gosen Customedge series.

    I also wonder what are the wavy edges for, other than design.

    I see Pyrofil on the cone. Does this and the JS10 etc come from the same source?

    Nearly the same font. Just seems to be italicised a bit. I'd assume it's the same stuff.

    Pyrofil is just a material trademark and component product from Mitsubishi I believe. Assembly and manufacturing would be Fleet. I'm guessing that's Taiwan?
