Description
Don’t be fooled into thinking a 95″ frame isn’t still a viable option on court. Hidden under a variety of paintjobs, many of today’s top players are still wielding a classic Mid Plus sized frame. And for good reason. We never cease to be surprised at the power this model produces. From baseline grinding to rocket launched serves, the new TC95 V5 will impress from the first hit.
The dense sting bed combined with narrow beam width makes this a perfect option for players seeking the ultimate in control and feel.

Key Features
PERFORMANCE DRIVEN TECHNOLOGY
Our focus has always been to deliver quality products that are built to the highest standards and incorporate technology that benifits players. Nothing else.
HOT MELT XT
We have turned up the heat on our raw materials to lower the viscosity of the resin used to coat our High Modulus fibres. The result is “Total Coverage” or as we like to call it, “Perfection Manufacturing”.
MICRO BRAID
Heat and pressure are used to mould our carbon frames into shape. Our MICRO BRAID layer minimises resin flow out of the frame structure resulting in a more consistent product.
FOAM CORE
All Angell custom models are filled with our unique Foam Core to provide a high level of dampening and the unmistakable feel of a solid filled frame.

I have bought more than 20 rackets. The TC 95 my 13 year old is playing with. He’s a top ranked junior and he tried out blade, rf, head speed and he picked this stick. I happened to hit with it. It’s absolutely a delight.

As a former professional tennis player and coaching competitive kids now including my own son who finished 5th in the 12 u Orange bowl. I’ve played with Wilson pro staff during my playing days but really loved the head prestige as well as the prince graphite. The Angell sticks are truly top notch, wish I could have met Paul a few decades earlier. It’s a top notch product. I play w the tc 97 18/20. My son played w the K7 and now is about to graduate to the 95 18/20. Most of my competitive kids play with the 97 18/20. Some of the kids with less racket speed do well with the 105. The recreation ladies group love the 105 16/19 as well.

I ordered this racquet as heavy and head light as offered. I measured with my own scale and balance board and Angell nailed it. The feel is impeccable, and the spin potential is surprising even when I string with a round multifilament.
I liked it so much I ordered more to have different tensions, and again all right on spec.
I’d recommend using the custom process for anyone who doesn’t want to compromise on racquet specs.

I bought my first Angell frame earlier this year after frustration with the current trend in tennis frames from the majors. I am 56 yo and have a traditional style of tennis at a high standard and have used the Head Prestige Pro since its inception in 1987. For my game it is the perfect racquet and unfortunately Head no longer has an interest in making a frame with the same plush, laser guided control frame as the earlier Prestiges. I’m in Australia but I thought I’d take a chance with the Angell Custom V3 18×20 with the Head grip profile and my preferred specs and I was very surprised with it’s performance.
It is without doubt the closest you can get to the magic of the classic Prestige but with the added bonus of a slightly bigger sweet spot and a bit more power, but not so much more that you lose any control. The 18×20 string pattern is great for control, especially on volleys and slice backhands but with sufficient spin to satisfy if you have a traditional technique. Serving is fine with easy power and very good control. You don’t have to swing so hard to be effective. I want maximum feel so I use a full bed of Wilson NXT at 55 lbs and I find that to be perfect for this frame. Hybrid strings, if I used them, would be 5 or 6 lb less.
I was so impressed with this frame that I ordered a second frame in the Octane scheme, which looks gorgeous. The closest mainstream racquet would be the Wilson Ultra Tour. The Wilson has a touch more feel but the Angell is superior in all other areas.
If you find, as I did, that the racquets from the majors have become too narrow in their focus for power at the expense of feel and control, then note the specs of your favorite frame and order the Angell custom in those specs and enjoy your tennis again. There is one manufacturer, in Angell, who is happy to provide a quality frame, just the way you like it, even as far as Australia!
