I need help finding a tennis racquet?

Question

I want a tennis racquet that is for advanced players- I have no price range really anything in the 200's and 300's is fine- It has to be Prince or Wilson- The head should be avg. size not oversized- standard length about 27 inches- My game consists of mostly power and control- i dont use spin that much

At first I wanted the Wilson K Factor KSix-One Tour 90 Racquet (Federer) but i dont like the color

Answer 1

Wilson K Factor- Fed uses it

Answer 2

I suggest the Prince O3 White. It costs $200 at Tennis Warehouse, but you can probably buy it for less at a local tennis shop.

Specs for the Prince O3 White:

One Piece

String Tension: 53-63 pounds

If you are seeking for more control, try the Prince O3 Speedport Pro White. It has a denser string pattern (18x19) and is heavier by 0.4 oz. My racquet of choice by the way. I don't use much spin either and am a baseliner. Serves are better on the O3 White, but if you're looking for enhanced control and power from the baseline this is the one. It basically all depends on what feels good to you. Same price as the O3 White.

Both are great looking racquets in the color of black and white.

Remember to demo the racquets before you buy. I liked the Speedport Pro White better because of the added control and weight. O3 White just had too much power for me... maybe because the demo was strung at 58 lbs.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Maybe try the new Kblades?

I would go to http://www.tenniswarehouse.com/ and check things out there. They have a ton of information about rackets and accessories.

Answer 4

I demo'd the Prince O3 Black and White, both really pleased me . . . I ended up going with the Black.  I haven't tried the new K blades, but I've read plenty of reviews and people seem to like them.
