how can u rate this racket on control, spin &amp; power?

On a scale of 1-100 I would rate spin at 90 on red side, and 85 on black side -- very tacky Red side rubber with the Hurricane III that I got, however the sponge is fairly thin on that side, so it doesn't stay on the paddle too long to get extreme spin. The black side G555 side is not nearly as tacky but seems to have a slightly thicker sponge. Control 85 Red side, 80 black side. Power, 85 black side, and 80 red side. For me this paddle was good for playing a lot of spin and drive shots on offense, but not great for looping shots from below table level...well at least not with much power. Defensively the red side is decent for chopping and very good for blocking. The black side is the more offensive side.

it's not bad at all. I use mine a lot and can manage to swing it all day long.

It's pretty good - I cannot say specifically what it is - sorry. However, it can keep a four court bank of tennis courts pumping with sound so my guess is less than 500

The one I personally own feels like it would break if I swung at air let alone hit anything with it. However there are videos on YouTube of this mastersword being put under pressure and seemed to hold up. So I guess u just have to get lucky and hope you get a good one.

I have this paddle and is lighter than most that I've used. Produces very good spin if you like hard rubbers

I play ultimate, so I just use a 175g Discraft UltraStar. Might as well practice, right? :)

It spins at a nice slow speed, but can not handle too much weight at all. I had a small disco ball on it for a party & it would spin for a few seconds & then would make a grinding noise & stop. I wouldn't recommend anyone else wasting their money on this item.

It seems to spin fine for me doing cleans and jerks and snatches. I've hit 225# on the clean with no issues.

Absolutely. It is not light but you quickly get used to the feel. Great spin to make it drop on the back edge for winning points. I have both the 400 and the 700 and I think. Like the 400 better.

Im not sure really. Sorry. I tell you what though you wont go wrong buying this racquet. It is by far the best racquet Ive played with. Sorry I couldnt answer the specific question though.

JP. But I took it to a pro shop, and the tech there had a suspicion that the racquet was fake. I bought it used off the amazon site, from amazons warehouse dealer. I think what must have happened was someone bought the authentic from amazon, then switched it with a fake and returned it to amazon. Amazon gave me the refund, great service, very hassle free dealing with them. So, if u decide to buy, don't buy used. Take it to a pro shop to get strung and ask the tech to compare to an authentic racquet. They can tell.

Yes it does (1year) this is my second racket the first one broke while playing. I contacted yonex they told me to ship it back to the seller for an exchange. The seller paid the whole money back and I purchased another one. You can buy it from amazon or any other (authentic online dealers only ). The racket is amazing but I do not like the smashing power.

It's good for drive smashes but not so much for very strong loops. The red side being slower with more spin and the black side being faster with less spin on softer shots, but about the same amount of spin on harder shots (thicker sponge possibly on black side, but I didn't measure). Hard to get enough spin on the very strong loops. I had to take off some speed from that type of shot to get the ball to arc enough to consistently stay on the table. I have a Donic Baum Esprit with Bluefire M2 now, and it's much easier to get the spin right and keep the power on the shot.

Have owned 2 of this type. It's more oval.Usually plays very well. Over time it skips.That's why I have 2. I use one or the other daily.

Haven't played in a while. Will check it out tonight and get back to you. My recollection is that it is user friendly. Stay tuned.

Feels like...pleather :-) Honestly, it plays and feels good, much like the old Spaulding Gold's we enjoyed back in the day. Very controllable on serve and serve receive. It's a bit round (no clearly defined panels) for hand setting, but its got just enough texture to prevent spinning out the hand without feeling awkward. We have bags of balls, including several leather Wilson AVP's, but we use these synthetic ones the most for grass court ball because any moisture in the grass won't faze them at all. True story, we lost one of these in a bush a year ago. Just recently found it. It's been outside in the weather for a full year (SoCal weather, not too harsh), and it's perfectly fine and we still play with it. It's a bit faded compared to a newer one, but the ball surface is exactly the same. Amazing really.
