Hello, I just broke my racquet and thus I am in need of a new one. I am a high school tennis player and play doubles only.
Serve: I generally hit a top spin serve at about 1 o'clock and occasionally I will hit it a bit flatter if I am looking for power
Groundstrokes: I have a moderate to full swing length and hit a consistent top spin forehand and a less powerful two handed back hand. Also I often find myself just counter punching when I play against players who are hard baseliners.
Volleys: I have excellent reach at the net, but my volleys often lack power. Also as a doubles player I obviously want to a racquet that will help with my serve and volley game.
I used to use a Prince Game OS, which worked well for me. I liked the length and the head size gave me the extra pop I need. So I'm looking for a racquet that is somewhat similiar to my old one, with a fairly large head size (110) and emphasizes power slightly more than control.
I am looking to spend $150 or so, but I would prefer to spend a bit less.
Thanks for all the help in advance.
