Weekend update 1st and 2nd week Nov 2022: T100, A98, UP

 Played on two weekends, sat, Nov 5 and sun, 13. 

On saturday brought T100 and A98. The A98 was more controlled than the T100, added 1 gram above 3 and 9 but felt too heavy so afterward, moved down half gram below 3 and 9. Played with long time player very good at volley (soft hand) but not driving enough. Won 2 sets but lost 1. 1st set played against my uncle and a good volleyer, need a good control racquet to penetrate the defense. 2nd set with same partner but against weaker opponent and on 3rd with weaker partner. Too tired the next day to play again.

Last sunday brought A98 and newly strung Ultra Pro. Played 1st set won against HT and RH with partner DN, 6-5 with A98. Then 2nd set loss 3-6 against strong player (KK) and RH with the same partner DN with UP. The shots from UP can sometimes distract KK. Need to swing through when using UP. The UP had 1.5g at 12 and 2 at 3 and 9. A98 with additional lead can be quite too powerful.

My take on UT and UP: this is a true nice racquet, plushed, need to generate own spin and can hit on a dime. The power is very low mostly on serve.
