    Appreciate it if we could get a comparison of all free core rackets (free core alone - Hypersonic B, JS12ii, TKFE, 100X, 90Kii, Auraspeed , Jetspeed T1, Ryuga II, DriveX 9X, anything that I might have missed).

    Categorizing them into..
    1. Offensive/Defensive/ All-round
    2. Frame structure/Easiness of Swing
    3. Stiffness
    4. Playability/Sweet spot
    5. Any other relevant data to add...
    I went through the threads, felt like TKFE is the most favored followed by 100x. Does that mean the rest are not worth taking a look?.

    I tried TK F Claw with free core. Rather head heavy but it felt so effortless! The dampening effect from free core really soften the vibrations especially strung at higher tension. CEDC0FE2-0694-4F0E-9C22-FC4C50E55EE5.jpeg

    I’ve got the TKFE at the moment, used to use the JS12 without free core and now I’ve transitioned from the TKFE to the non free core Ryuga 1, in my opinion if u can consistently hit the sweet spot on the string bed, the vibration dampening isn’t very significant but on mishits it’s more forgiving on the arm and shoulder.

    Does that mean anyone looking to improve accuracy can go 2lb up on string tension without having to fear the effect of it on elbow and shoulders?.

    Theoretically. But at the end of the day, it's not life saving. Yes it makes a difference but if you are inaccurate, making the sweet spot smaller is not necessarily the answer.

    Better off getting a SS trainer or something.
