    Pre ordered this racket and I’ve had it for a week now.
    It feels very heavy. Heavier than 140g I think. That was hard to get used to. However, the extra weight enhanced feel and responsiveness, but at the drastic loss of manoeuvrability and creativity. it feels like a classic racket meant for a classic player. Also, I don’t think james is going to switch to this. Its a nice racket to give a go:)

      Exactly my feeling, too, after first trainings with the Hero. Had to grip it over with a thin overlay grip to be able to occasionally hold higher (for manoeuvrability) – even if the grip felt a bit thick. Liked the feel and the strings – like you say, Ben, the responsiveness ends up with good, heavy basic drives. Won’t be switching back soon. 🙂

        I’m really enjoying it now. I’ve got used to the weight and I’m starting to develop a stronger wrist because of it. Im playing a lot more accurately. I think it’s the same mould as the tecnifibres as it looks the same and has almost identical stiffness. Ill be using this until the lighter Y Tec Pro comes out in December 🙂
