I used to have 5 total, but 2 broke while serving, probably because I string them pretty tight.. Not Sampras tight, but pretty tight.

I think posts like this should be a banable offence.
I'm sure I'm at least 2% stupider for having read it.

Yep, that's the one. Best racquet of them all, I think. I also demoed the new Pro Staff 90, not as good, as you said.
I string at 45 pounds.

Re: What Racquet do you use?
Just bought a Wilson Blade Comp . I love it ! so much better than my head racket , great weight a bit heavy but I can hit harder with it and I can serve harder more easy .

Re: What Racquet do you use?
The old Babolat Pure Drive Cortex sticks.
I can't see myself switching to anything else. If I did, I would probably upgrade to the GT model, but I tested one out and it feels like a feather-pen.

Re: What Racquet do you use?
I've been using head speed MP 315 for one year.... I feel quite confortably to play with this racket. Having played a lot of matches during this year now it is quite ruined so I was thinking to buy a new one.
Do you have any suggestions for me? Consider that I like rackets of average weight that are good for a powerful hit...

Re: What Racquet do you use?
I look for racquets with the best feel, touch and control and I don't look for racquets built for power, not because I don't want power but because the racquets designed to give you power are bad for your arm. I get power by using a more elastic string with a lower tension and I use a flexible racquet with a head light balance. These racquets are typically "recommended" for higher level players but if you are not a higher level player why should you use a racquet that is hard on your arm? I saw a website that lists their top ten arm-friendly racquets and strings and explains the criteria for it in detail http://tenniselbowracquet.com/tennis-racquets |

not sure how this whole flex thing relates to arm friendliness. played with some racquets that are like 53 and had problems, now with 68 and no problems at all. unless you are a pro, you are hitting off center or framing occasionally, so i'd say that torsional stability is more important.
i even string with a fairly soft poly and works OK, whereas not even multifilaments saved me while playing with a low flex racquet, which was even heavier. go figure.
try some before you buy. |
