That's quite a hefty stick! Figured you'd ease in the weight, considering that you haven't played in so many years, but if your shoulder/arm can handle it, then go for it.

What's your string setup? I'm traditional in that I stick with my trusty Prince Syn Gut. None of that poly for me... no, thanks. 😅

18x20, Wilson sensation, I’m a creature of habit.

70 lbs, u?

Me too. I'd rather stick with what I know. I tried poly a few times, but got tennis elbow. Dunno if it was the strings or just getting older, but eventually went back to syn gut.

My Graphite is 16x18. Never hit with a 18x20 before, so I wouldn't even know if I could feel the difference.

60lbs.

You should try a CO-POLY like hyper g soft or luxilon element at 48-52 lbs. it plays especially well in classic feeling sticks like pro staff, blade, prestige, ect

And 1820 you would know in an instant. Launch angle will be noticeably lower
 
Finally

I guess... Finally will stop wearing Osaka's xd

I mean...they are basically making this shoe for him at this point. Makes no sense how they go through all this testing and come to the decision to do a global release and yet he plays them in one match and switches back. If that's the case just delay the debut until he actually agrees to switch to them:emoji_zipper_mouth:

I've tried co-polys before, but didn't find it particularly good or bad... as well as low-tension setups, which I didn't care for.
I hit quite flat and am not a string-breaker, so I can't really get the full benefits of poly anyway.

It always irks me when I see beginners and novices playing with a full bed of poly. Pro-shop stringer shouldn't be recommending poly to those types of players, IMO. 🤷‍♂️
