Ankündigung Mayami European website launch

[konstantinos kalfountzos]

The new Mayami European website is now operational and ships products from Poland. Hit Pro and Hepta Power are currently out of stock, but I guess they will be in stock soon.

I'm gonna get Tour Hex to play during Autumn, since it's their most hyped string.

This is the link:

From the 1st of October all Mayami products will be ordered from the main website I share below and be shipped from the new distribution center in Poland.

mayami.eu is a temporary website created by the US/Main website.

mayami-europe is a former Mayami distributor, now he's not.

So, here's the link for Mayami that can be used from October 1st for orders. Proper changes to currencies etc will be ready then.

One of my best, if not the best, sessions yesterday. I split my time, around 1.5 hours+ between the Prestige MP 18*19 x Kirschbaum Max Power 1.25 (22kg) and the Diadem Elevate V2 FS98 x Mayami Tour Hex 1.23 (21+kg). Hitting partner: one of the most advanced in the area, advanced, leftie, heavy top-spin hitter.

Started warm-ups and baseline groundstrokes with the Elevate. Switched to the Prestige for 1 loooong set (4-6), switched to the Elevate for another set (1-6) and then some more groundstrokes with both.

At low-to-medium pace / warm-ups:

Tour Hex felt softer and thus more comfortable than the last 3 strings I played with the Elevate, Dyreex Super Tour 1.25, Tru Pro Tour Status 1.25, Dyreex Solaris Spin.

1st set with Max Power 1.25: Prestige MP tight 18*19

1st set with Tour Hex, switcing from the Prestige: Elevate V2 FS98 open 16*20

High launch angle issues with thin strings with the Elevate came to surface again, so flat hitting led to several flat shots to sail long. Could be the transition from the tight 18*19 to the open 16*20, but I got very easy Power and depth out of the Tour Hex. I had to start hitting with as much top-spin as possible. Then, the Control levels got high as I could loop my forehand hits wherever I wanted either short or long angles.

Cooling-down groundstrokes:

Tour Hex: Having gotten comfortable with the spin orientation of the Elevate x Tour Hex combo, I really enjoyed hitting exaggerating top-spin forehands getting medium-to-high net clearence. Slicing became very easy with very nice depth. 2-handed flat backhands were also great, as I would re-direct incoming balls cross court towards my partner's corner from any height. As pace went gradually down, it still remained comfortable, so it could be used by lower-level players than me.

Tour Hex will be tried in other rackets with tighter string patterns also, to see what's what with dead-flat hitting.
