How to determine my tennis swing speed? Want to change from 28.5" racquet to a 27" players racquet.

Question

I am a 50 yr old player with 10 yrs club experience. I've used a Prince Thunderbolt mid plus for 8 years and want to go to a standard 27" player's racquet since I'm down to just one good frame. I generate good power and have weighted the longer frame to slow my swing speed, but feel I loose maneuverability on volleys and when moving to make a backhand return.

Answer 1

uhhh...well i recommend you to get the head microgel radical pro. its a little heavy but can generate that power,spin, and pop. i love the racket.

Answer 2

If you are 50 years old, and have 10 years of club experience then there is a 99% probability that your swing speed is at most  L1  (or moderate).

      I recommend you one of the following racquets given your age and experience:

        - Babolat Pure Drive

        - Head Microgel Extreme Pro

      

I do not recommend smaller racquets such as Head Radical or similars, because they will require you to spend a lot more energy per stroke, and your swing speed is probably not the ideal for this type of racquets (very fast).
