Just got these 2 in the mail. First impressions:
King Spider:
As mentioned in another thread. The big question is quality control. I saw that with this racket. It came with a large scratch at 3oclock from factory. Not a huge huge deal for me but the M900 and Spider are their 2 most expensive rackets. So you would expect premium quality.
All in all it was nice to string. The 4 and 7oclock region seemed more cluttered than I was used to. Especially on the M900. But on the Spider, the top holes are staggered VERY exaggerated. Usually they are staggered by a 1/4 or 1/2 grommet. These were staggered by an entire grommet. So it looked a little crazy but definitely easier to pull the string!
Master 900:
Looks very sharp with it's hexagon type frame. Definitely and eye popper. I hated stringing this one because NO HOLES were staggered. They all were perfectly centered. So now that everything has been staggered so long, it's hard to go back. Also as I said before, the 4&7oclock region just seemed so cluttered. It was very hard to pull the string through without winding. I'm not a pro stringer, so I can't put my finger on it, but it seemed too much and more difficult than normal.
Won't be hitting till later tonight.
