Head Graphene 360 Instinct S Reverse - my personal tennis racket review

Head Graphene 360 Instinct S review
Head Graphene 360 Instinct S tennis racket review

Hello, tennis fans! In today's consumer review we are taking a look at my very own tennis racket - the Head Graphene 360 Instinct S. I got it brand new two months ago and had about 20 games with it so it is time to share my personal impressions and give you first hand feed back.

Also, I made a short Head Graphene 360 Instinct S video review for you and I hope you will appreciate the information.

Head Graphene 360 Instinct S specifications

To start with, here are the most important features and specs of this Head racket:

Head Graphene 360 Instinct S specifications
Weight unstrung10.1 oz / 285 g
TechnologyGraphène 360
CompositionGraphite
Head Size99.98 in² / 645 cm²
Length26.97 in / 68.5 cm
Balance unstrung12.6 in / 32 cm
Beam Width23-26-23 mm
String Pattern16x19


Gameplay
With unstrung weight of 285g the Graphene 360 Instinct S is definitely not meant for professional players on the tour. I am a mid-range amateur player and take part in amateur tournaments couple of times in the summer. Most of the time I play single and it is just once in a while that I take part in doubles matches.

I should say I am pretty much satisfied with how this Instinct handles on the court. It is easy to swing and it is quite maneuverable. For someone with shoulder problems like myself it is quite forgiving and I don't feel tension after longer rallies.

It is also pretty good racket from the baseline. I found it quite easy to generate topspin deeper back in the court. Flat shots are OK though definitely not among the Instinct S strengths.

Compared with the Wilson Ultra 100L which I used for a whole season (2019) and still keep it for a backup racket, the Instinct S has a slightly smaller sweet spot and also I feel like it has a thicker beam which makes it more stable. But honestly I prefer thinner beams when possible (loved the puristic feeling of my other ex-racket, the Wilson Pro Staff 97LS).

What I don't like about the Head Graphene 360 Instinct S

There are couple small things that I would change in the Instinct S if I could, and here they are:
  • I wish it had a slightly bigger sweet spot
  • I would definitely appreciate a thinner beam
  • Head's grip 3 feels a bit larger than what I used on other brand's handles

Head Graphene 360 Instinct S price

You can buy the Head Graphene 360 Instinct S for around $140.

Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A Full HD LED TV review

Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A Full HD LED TV price, specs and review Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A  Full HD LED TV Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A review - today at our consumer blog we are going to take a look at one of the latest 42-inch Sony Full HD TVs which offers great picture quality and will suit best everyone who needs an excellent home cinema experience without 3D effects. Sony Bravia KDL-42W650 is still not very popular around the world and the reason for that is not the lack of quality or functions which this TV is fully packed with but because of the fact that the  KDL-42W650/ KDL-42W650A is mostly going to be sold in Eastern Europe and some parts of Asia. Of course you can find this TV in other countries as well but it is still not presented in huge markets like UK and USA.

Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 3 First Look Review: Did They Fix the Flaws?

By
Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 3: Flaw Fixed, Efficiency Gained Hey everyone, and welcome back! I was excited to finally get my hands on the third generation of the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 . As many of you know, I spent a good amount of time with the Gen 2, and while it was a solid business machine, there were definitely a few things that needed attention. This is my very first look at the Gen 3, and I wanted to share my initial feedback on what’s improved and what hasn’t. The E16 Gen 3 I’m reviewing here is equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, shared Intel graphics, and 32GB of RAM.
