TR96 with HGS at 40lbs felt powerful but may not fit high intensity play at MT. T100 performed well: good serve, good forehand control and defense, a few long mishits.

The sets are 2-2 LMOS Mk vs Hr-Ad; 6-1 T100 Mk vs Hr-Ad,  6-2 Hr vs Dn-Bd, 6-4 Bd vs Mk-Dn.

The use of poly on T100 is good spin, less power, good control.
