From 60cm away, the repair marks are unnoticeable! Repaired paint chips (blue) and paint peeling (dark navy). Touched up with a touch-up pen (Honda BG53M is the closest), and polished with #1000 sandpaper. The dark navy was color-matched with water-based acrylic matte black + light blue, and finished with sandpaper. Grip #3, but close to #2. I usually use #2, but is it a little thick? I used #3 on the Vcore100 2023. The Vcore felt thicker. (Replaced with a leather grip and used a thin overgrip) Weight in the photo: 325.5g Strung with prospro Cyclone122 at 48-46 in late August. Slightly more powerful, softer string. 《Impressions》 Purchased two #3 grips, and I'm selling the second one. Used it for 4 hours without a vibration dampener, but it didn't suit me. The reason was that it didn't hit as far as the Vcore. The trajectory was also lower. The thick and beautiful throat, and the stability of the face are excellent. I felt it when hitting 2nd serves, and blocking fast balls with RT. Bouncing: ◯ Hits with a satisfying feel Serve: ◎ Clearly faster than Vcore Swing-through: ◯ Average Operability: Average Design: ◎ Vibration: ◯ No strange vibrations even without a vibration dampener Trajectory: Lower than Vcore Slice: ◎ More spin than topspin Overall Since it doesn't hit the ball too far, there are fewer backouts. When catching the ball from directly behind, the opponent makes more mistakes. According to the Tomoyan Channel on YouTube, "Almost the same as the 2025, the new model is slightly milder." The old model is recommended for those who want to use PuureDrive. 《Customization》 1. If you want to feel the flex of the face, apply Crepoly Mate (resin protectant, sold in the car section) to the grommets. The string movement improves, increasing the flex and ball-holding feel. By the way, Vcore2023 uses oil-containing grommets. But Crepoly Mate is more effective. 2. Poly Tour REV has an amazing ball-holding feel. It feels like the face is denting like in a manga. And it's soft but not heavy! The perfect string to complement the Pure Drive. Also gentle on the body. 3. To increase spin, apply Crepoly Mate to the face. Reduces friction at string intersections, promoting snapback. 4. To make the grip thinner, use a thin original grip to get closer to #2. The original grip of the first one I sold was Yonex, thin, and almost #2. This product is Babolat and a little thicker. You can make it thinner by replacing the original grip. Leather grips definitely make it thinner. +8g, but top light.
