I'm looking for a new tennis racquet?

Question

i plan to buy it from tenniswarehouse.com

the one i have now is:

dunlop m-fil 200 Midplus-i just got this almost a year ago, but i feel its outdated and the shots are coming very clean anymore. as you might know, its fairly heavy at above 12 oz. and im beginning to feel its carrying dead weight since there r lighter racquets 2day that are much better performing. maybe its the strings. do strings have THAT much of an impact? will special $20 strings be that much better than decent strings you get for $15 WITH stringing?

anyways, i was thinking about getting the Prince graphite nxg mid. its on sale too : )(sales get my attention alot). the specs are pretty good and the reviews on the site arent bad. what do you think? if you need more info about my playing then send me a message. my level: i made it on the JV tennis team for high school. i can probably have a shot at winning 1st in a satellite. ive only played 2 tournies, last one being 9 months ago.

Answer 1

if you've been playing for a while i highly suggest getting a midplus sized racquet. when you go with a smaller head size you tend to have better control over where your shot is going and also the sweet spot, though smaller, is much sweeter when you strike it right. as for a racquet i suggest any wilson. in my experience (i've had 2 head racquets, a babolat, a dunlop and 2 wilsons) wilsons are the best. i loved my first wilson and only switched to a head because wilson discontinued the other one. after i had played with the head for about 2 years i decided to upgrade again (because of a wrist injury--needed a lighter racquet) to a wilson kfactor ktour (my current racquet). if i were to reccommend any racquet and definitely any wilson i would reccommend that racquet. it's by far the best racquet i've ever had and the only midplus i've ever had. i've seen more control in placing my shots and a better sweetspot. but you really can't go wrong with any type of wilson. good luck!

Answer 2

Personally, I like Prince raquets they are really durable and they work in my opinion better then others.

O3 Speedport Tour is really nice, really good since you can swing really fast, and with spin you can get it in easily, if you have played tennis, and have a lot of spin, this is really good, since it lets you swing really fast which means more power/with your spin -Bit expensive at 200

Hybrid Hornet-

My racquet really works well for me, it has a nice feel, you can hit pretty hard with it, gives good spin, really good for volleying, and on serves it is godlike.  I am short (under 5 foot) and this raquet has helped me hit 100ish, on serves

Pretty cheap at 99$

For power racquets, Babolot is pretty good

Wilson isnt great, but they have good spin raquets, and a bit more control

Head is good, but not durable, my friend has broken his head raquet in a week, and his second one in a month.

Answer 3

I think it would be all right. I am currently wanting a tennis racquet also, and would love to get my hands on one of the the K- Blade. I do not really need it though, because I am a beginner at tennis.
