Advantages: Good pucnh and good control for an hyper carbon racket Disadvantages: needs more control
...This is a pretty good racket. Coming into the hyper carbon era in tennis from graphite this racket has a lot of punch to it, and also has a lot of control to it. The control may not be has good as the original ProStaff graphite racket which was used by former no. 1 Pete Sampras. However comparing this racket to other hyper carbon rackets this racket has good control. The punch in this racket makes it easier to play shots witm more power and little effort, however the draw back with this racket for me has been when trying to attack an approach ball. When you try to put a little more effort in the attack the racket usually ends up giving to much of a punch making the ball out of control....

Advantages: Very strong, light, comfortable and parts are easily replaced Disadvantages: anti bacterial footbed could be improved and wheels should be of a better standard
...Well, since i got these skates in January, I have improved no end. I did have a pair of Oxygens and since trying the K2's I have realised how good they really are, although the soul space is not as wide as some of my friends skates i.e Salomons the lock on is excellent and grinding is super smooth. The skates feel very stable and strong yet relatively light. They are very comfortable due to the 'soft boot' technology and upgrades are relatively cheap. These skates can live indefinately with all parts being replaceable.
The downside is that for a pro - skate I would have expected more from the wheels, as I would have preferred better ones for example 'Senate' also the anti - bacterial footbed is not particularly effective after several months of use (but that might just be my feet!)
Overall these skates are well worth buying...

Advantages: better distance and accuracy Disadvantages: slightly expensive
...ultimate accuracy, new cavity balanced head extends and expands the sweetspot in a uniform way towards the toe where 85% of all shots are hit, the result being ultimate forgiveness and accuracy"
There are 3 types of irons available on the market just now, Steel Shaft retailing at about £400 for 9 irons, Hyper Carbon Graphite Shafts retailing at about £600 and ladies Fat Shaft Hyper Carbon Irons retailing at about £500.
I was fortunate enough to shop around and purchased a full set of irons, a driver, 3 and 5 wood, bag and copper insert putter from my local pro for a special price of £699, which is about £500 less than the RRP.
Since I sarted palying with them, I can honestly say that I have gained about 25 yards distance with each iron. I am now consistantly hitting a 7 iron about 130 yards when before I would have taken a 5 iron or 7 wood...
