So, you might wonder how the search for the holy-(racket)grail goes!?!? Well, to be hounest I think the search will continue. I have now played a couple of times with the Magnetic Tour SL and it´s a decent frame, no doubt about that, but i´m a bit concerned it´s not sufficiant for my level of play. When just hitting easy, soft shots from the baseline it´s very nice, when serving it´s the perfect racket but that´s about it. When I face hard serves the racket seems to be a fraction unstable and you really feel that the stiffness level is just to low (RA 57) in such a large surface, 645 sqcm or 100 sq inches. The flex is sometimes just to big. Same goes for volleys, a little bit unstable. Not the solid feel I had with the Babolat Pure Storm´s.
I have done some experementing also. Different strings, tensions etc and I also added 5 grams of lead inside the handle and 5 grams on 3 and 6 position on the hitting surface but that made the racket swing very sluggish and strange. No control at all with this setup.
I am going to give it a go with a new string during next week and see how it goes. I know I have an opening with another frame, the Fischer M Pro No one 98 NT frame. The specs are about the same as the Mag Tour with the same flex and all, but the M Pro have a smaller hitting surface and that might work very well with the low flex (RA 58)
I might order one M Pro and try it. They are dead-cheap now because Fischer are currently launching the Black Granite line and that makes the older frame hard to sell..
The M Pro certainly looks hot... :)
