then ask again for recommendations after you understand frames,STRINGS,and etc.

Answer 4

well if you have a fast swing and generate alot of power and topspin then you should go for a heavy control racket. [i suggest a k blade 98 as you said you like to stay on the baseline] however if you want some power and control i suggest going for the babolat aeropro, its a really nice racket and you can generate a decent ammount of spin.

Answer 5

You must choose a racquet which has high intensity, able for you to carry, and a very handy one

Answer 6

it comes down to what feels comfortable and easy to you. Best way is, to go to store that allows you to take a selection of racquets and then test them out at court etc and the one which you like and feels comfortable to use you shld buy . But ask if the store will allow you to demo the racquets then they shld give couple of demo racquets of the ones you have chosen.

of you go to a tennis shop they should allow you to test out racquets for a day or two.  First tell them what kind of player you are and what you are looking for in a racquet.  You sound like me, thats how I play tennis.  I have a babolat cortex and I love it! It allows me to hit my power hits and fast serves with ease,

Answer 8

Demo some racquets from your local tennis shop or tennis-warehouse.com.  There are a LOT of tennis racquets to choose from, and there are a lot of factors to consider.  The weight of the racquet, and the head size are probably one of the biggest factors.  Then you can look at swingweight, balance, and stiffness.  Then, there are all these racquet technologies that all these companies come up with to "enhance" their racquet lines.  Wilson has K-Factor, Head has Flexpoint, Babolat has Cortex, and Prince has its Speedports.  If I were you, I would demo the Kblade Tour, the Babolat Pure Drive, the Prince O3 Speedport Tour, and the Kfactor Ksix-one 95 (the one I use).  Try them and decide for yourself.   You shouldn't take someone's word for it alone.  Everyone is different.  What works for me, won't necessarily work for you.  Good luck!
