material used

[rafaEli]

pagkakadinig ko ung Microgel may halong silica material at may trampauline effect daw, di ko lang alam sa Youtek...

[rygo]

ah ok.. the way i see it same concept lang naman cla both. but i dunno if what's the improvement sa youtek. does any of you naka try mag gamit nga radical, then youtek?

kung sa radical, mas gusto ko ang microgel radical ipalo. parang mas solid frame nya ehh. mas spin friendly and may power, yung youtek radical parang mapaypay ung head nya and hindi spin friendly

According to Head, Youtek uses D3O material that is soft that stiffens when you swing hard.

oo nga po ehh.. pero di ko nafeefeel na ngiging stiff sya kapag malakas na ang palo. siguro hindi lang bagay sakin raketa na yan. kasi stiff rackets tlaga gamit ko dati pa ehh

Hype, that’s what it is.

The predominant material used in rackets is still graphite fibers and the matrix that binds them together.  Every year or so, manufacturers come up with some new tech to sell rackets.  If the material is so good, why change it like yesterday's underwear?  How much more feel, power or control does one really need from a racket? The reality is that specs must be maintained to preserve the performance characteristics of a racket line, regardless of what technojunk they mix into the frame.

Personally, I don’t get carried away with microgels, youteks, basalt n-coded x-factor liquidmetals.  Beyond the hype, the static and dynamic racket specs pretty much tell the real story.
