OK! what racquet is best for me?

Question

I am intermediate player. I would like a racquet that will be suitable for my arm. i am 6ft so i wud like one around 300g / 10.5 oz.. i have a pretty decent server... and am good at playing hard shots from my baseline. could anyone recomend 1 or 2 raquets that would suit my style of play?

Answer 1

wilson and prince are pretty good. I use wilson. But its entirely up to you what you feel is best for you.

Answer 2

Depending on how much topspin you like to put on your shots... but I have a pretty good guess you're going to like the Pure Drive Roddick (11.7 oz) over the standard Pure Drive (10.6 oz). 10.5 oz might be a tad light returning harder shots, the Pure Drive Roddick has just the right amount of heft to make slugging it out on the baseline more deadly. I own a regular PD and I've added weight to it and the thing is like a canon. I personally play with heavier topspin so I use my Aeropro drive mostly, but if I'm going for broke, the pure drive rockets serves and groundstrokes in with its extra length and flex.

Prince-wise you might want to look at maybe speedport blacks or the 03 hybrid tour is usually on sale. also the TT warrior (patrick rafter racquet) is an oldie but goodie. Great on the serve and great mobility with the racquet with the head lightness.

Wilson wise, the only racquet they make that I particularly care for much is the kPro Open. It has a real nice open string pattern, which is good for adding spin to keep in those groundstrokes.

The nTour the other guy suggested is also a very nice racquet, but its a tad head heavy for me. Actually its rated at even balance, but when strung up its a bit head heavy for my tastes.

Answer 3

the first thing is how hard do you swing. do you have enough racquet head speed or would you like more. if you have enough i would go for a heavier racquet than a lighter one. I would suggest you try the Wilson nTour (the orange one).
