So I have two TT100-310 now. Have not modified the 2nd one except stringing it. Had a singles game on Friday and tried hit it with against a Pure Aero opponents and just not heavy enough so back to using the 1st racquet. The 2 sets match ended 6(2)-7 and 6-4. The balls we used were 2 sessions old and they might affect our games. Started with rallying strategy but not working and then had to shorten the rally. At home, I then customized the 2nd racquet, add Artengo leather grip and with overgrip weights at 342 grams compare with 340 grams of the 1st racquet, heavier due to thicker string or bigger size 3 grip. Also, was using new shoes Artengo orange in 44, feels better then the blue size 43.
Played doubles on Sunday, a comfortable win 8-2 and lost 4-6 against a good and way younger opponent. The newly customized TT100-2 (2nd one) with 16g string felt same as the 1st racquet now. Felt soft and controlled and yet powerful spin friendly.
Btw, the 2nd racquet had a buzzing sound coming from inside handle, can ignore it when at match. The heavier now with leather grip may lessen it a bit. Read from TT forum and some racquets do can develop the buzzing maybe due to loosen graphite and handle separator. Thought it was a crack but couldnt find any physical mark.
The new TT100 have new white cosmetics but I am liking this old one especially with the textreme fibers pattern on the throat.
