Has anyone played with these custom rackets? I am so tempted to buy one! The thing is that they don't have demos and you can return the racket....

I'm thinking they probably have blanks with a specific stiffness rating, and add weight based on the customers' specs. That, of course, requires that you know what you want as far as static weight, swing weight, balance, etc. If you do order one of these, let us know what you think by posting an official review, he he he!

I added about 20 grams of lead at top of the handles to get my spec... actually get it closer to POG OS Tour..I also use the string inserts instead of the ports for more feel...

the whole thing with rackets and pros is another i$$ue that we can go on with..hahahah

Go with what you know, not what you see. No demo, no moolah. lol

Permalink Reply by M.G. on December 18, 2012 at 11:32am So I was able to get a demo of this racket on ebay. Angell Sports used to Vantage Custom rackets but that's another story... I leaded up the racket almost to my specs ( i ran out of lead tape) and I played a quick set with a friend.... preliminary this rackets are pretty sweet.. they are foam filled and feel pretty solid...hope to get buy more lead and play with the racket more... i like the feel of it and the spin potential is pretty good...
