Repaired paint chipping on the tip of the racket, at the 11 o'clock position. Removed grommets and prepared the surface with #1000 grit waterproof sandpaper. Applied matte black paint in multiple coats, finished with a clear coat. I'm quite pleased with the clean finish. New overgrip and grommets. 250820 Strung with prospro cycron 1.22 at 48/46 lbs. Similar to Poly Tour Pro, but slightly softer. 《Impressions》 Tested in a 1-hour singles match. Both strokes and volleys have good bounce. Feels like the racket flexes to grab and launch the ball. Volleys have a lot of spin due to this flex. The feel is just great! When hitting the sweet spot, it's a "thunk" feel. The VDM effect is present, so no need for a vibration dampener. Good ball release and not heavy. Faster ball release than the similar Gravity MP (2017). Spin is average, suitable for flat drives. Compared to Vcore 100 2023, the trajectory is lower. Good swing-through. Serve was faster than with the Vcore. The successor model is the Percept, but the mold is the same. The Vcore Pro 100 is more aggressive than the Percept. Flat drive oriented. The Percept is more rounded for all-around play.
