I decided to do a little bit of Big Grievance seeding.
I’ve been hitting the low to mid range of the green factory from time to time, and suddenly I wanted to collect a couple of low to mid range as well as low end outfits. Not without precedent, my ASTROX 88S game is still unloved on the used market. Don’t ask, ask is extremely poor price/performance ratio.
Poor also do it, others are doing tour and pro parallel comparison, I just want to invert the sky astro.
Parameters: 3ug5, sole, total weight in used condition 89.85g, balance point 314mm, center bar length 217mm, medium-high stiffness, boxed racket frame, 68-hole wire bed, 9-3 point wire slots, warranty 29lbs, stringing 26lbs BG65.
When I first wrote about the 99 Pro, I used the Riyoshi Red version, but from the used channel holdings, play as well as game is predominantly white. Of course many golfers are already familiar with the succession of appearance between the different levels of the vertical since Greenfield adopted a four-tier system. The difference in appearance between it and the Pro White Tiger would be minimal if not for the game on the frame and center stick revealing the racquet’s identity.
I didn’t realize I was buying a 3u spec. I’m sure that’s not very pleasing to many amateur players. But the racquet has some weight to it though, the feel of the swing is not unpleasant and the swing weight is not extreme. What’s really hard to get used to is the forgiveness of this 68 string hole. Of course this is a cliché and doesn’t need to be repeated. Instead, I’d like to commend the racquet’s drive, which is still quite pronounced, and the good borrowed power combined with a little bit of medium-high stiffness makes the 99game’s feedback when hitting kind of a sweet spot still quite clear.
Of course, break-in is one thing, but when it comes to playing against the court, it’s another. The racquet’s head weight was still too strong, which caused me to be a beat slower when I used it to draw in doubles play. The cover is the same style as the 99 Pro, with a convenient platform for the thumb to rest against, but it’s a bit of a drop in the bucket for a racquet that’s head heavy and has a small sweet spot.
Of course, when rotating to the center court, there is not only one way, but also a good way to get the initiative through good net control and get the opportunity to attack for the backcourt teammates, which is a relatively good thing that 99 Game has done. After adapting to the 68-hole line bed, the rubbing of small balls at the net is more stable, and you can often score directly by anticipating the opponent’s return route in the front and back stance with a soft shot. It is true that the net closure is not sharp, and there is still a chance to take advantage of it.
And the racket’s catching feel is also more stable, when you need to release the power to block the net, 99game can provide a good performance. And when it was time to lend a hand to top a backcourt shot or split the side, the racquet showed some stickiness, which didn’t sit well with the author, and with the addition of a power move, the racquet became easier to bare, and the 68-hole side effects started to intervene.
Since it’s 99, even if it’s GAME, everyone is definitely more concerned about his level in offensive effectiveness. Let’s just say that even with GAME, it’s still not that great of a kill with the 3u specs. The sheer length of the lead time means that you have to get in position earlier with him and attack with effective power by getting a higher point of impact. Not recommended for newcomers. Not to mention that the racquet comes with its own debuff for aiming strikes, which requires a more precise timing of the power decision. Although the feel of the racket’s downward pressure and power is good, and the hit in the sweet spot is even more explosive, but it is difficult for me to hit my own acceptable heavy kills, the use of the process is more with the racket rather than the opponent to play.
Okay, I know you do look like the 99 Pro. Mechanically, the 99 Pro is undoubtedly the top racquet, but it’s also on the lower end of the spectrum of flagship racquets in terms of adaptability. Unlike the TOUR which retains a good performing center stick, the GAME is a bit more mediocre overall when neutered.
