As readers of this humble website knows, I am a big fan of Angell racquets. So even though it might just be a cosmetic update, I am curious about the new Angell Custom V3 Racquets. I know it is subjective, but I think they look really nice.
Angell Custom V3 Racquets looks really fierce with the black and copper design, and judging from the description, the V3 racquets also come with Micro braid technology. What that does or is, I am not yet sure, but I hope to test these racquets fairly soon and tell you more. Like with the previous Angell Custom racquet line, there are lots of options when choosing your spec. This is obviously the beauty with custom racquets, if you want extended length, a specific string pattern or a particular grip shape, Angell has got you covered.
Angell Custom V3 Racquets come in lots of different head sizes, from 90 sq inches (Pro Staff 90 fame) to the “veteran-friendly” 105 sq inches. It gives you a wide option, but I think most people end up with either the 95 or 97. You can have a look at the whole range and buy Angell racquets here.
Angell Custom V3 Racquets – Previous and upcoming reviews
I have play-tested a bunch of Angell racquets and so far been impressed by the comfort and response that these high-quality frames give you. Below you have the links to my previous Angell racquet reviews:
- Angell TC 95 Custom 18×20 RA 63
- Angell TC 95 Custom 16×19 RA 70
- Angell K7 Red
- Angell TC 97 Custom 18×20
Looking at the list above it seems like it might be a good idea to venture into either the mid 90 or the 100 sq inch territory to get an even broader taste of the Angell Custom racquet line up. However, I personally always want to test a racquet that I might possibly be able to switch to and I simply can not see myself going to a smaller head size. I am most comfortable these days with 95-98 sq inches, but if I would venture outside that, it would probably be to a bigger head size for that extra sweet spot real estate.
Which racquet would you be most curious about among the Angell Custom V3 racquets? And what specs would you go with? Please comment below!

There are so many variables but Definitely try the tc100. Say 310g 9pts headlight. Either RA70 – so you can comment on how it plays compared to tweeners like the Speed and Pure Drive and Ezones etc. Or the RA63 – I’ve a 63RA in its predecessor Vantage version and preferred it to the TC97 16×19 but never tried the 70RA version – maybe you could try both and compare. It’d be cool to compare to your K7 too – especially the 63RA. Failing that the 16×19 TC95 RA63 gets good reviews elsewhere so what you make of it would be interesting, and the 16×19 TC97 would make an interesting comparison to the 18×20 you had, the K7 and the other 97-98 major brand frames out there. I tried it and it was great but found the spin and power less crontrollable than the 100 I have, though it’s still a great frame. Seeing what the difference is in playing between the two RAs of the same frame and strings pattern would be interesting for others too I suspect.
And thanks for all your great reviews !!
Yes, more Angell reviews to come. Would really like to try the 100 sq inch one, but also the 90 sq inch midsize version. Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it!
I was hoping Angell will come up with new range of racquets so I’m little disapointed. This is just a new paint job.
I was thinking something like K7 Red but with thicker beam and 100″ head.

Who knows what Angell will come up with in the future but since the Custom line is so successful I think it might have been a tough choice to change it too much. I will definitely test the V3 edition and see if there are any differences in feel and playability. I like your idea of a K7 in 100 sq inch with a slightly thicker beam though!
I think we will see more racquets in K7 series in the future. Just don’t know in which direction will Paul go. For 100″ head or smaller.
I’m still considering K7 because specs seem really good for me. Just undecided yet :).
Yes, always interesting to follow Angell. It’s nice to root for the “underdog!”.
I really enjoy the K7 but like all racquets, it’s not for everyone. Really urge you to give it a try though.
Requesting a similar to pure drive/pure aero racket, 100sq in. 70RA, 300g 6pts HL or was that 4pts HL. If they play similar and if it’s more comfortable compared to PA and PD. Thanks
You should check out the Angell TC 100. It is more comfortable and offers better feel, but a bit less spin. Otherwise, the new Wilson Clash is a nice stick, but lower RA.
What is the difference between the TC line and the V3 Line?
