Check out the new Volkl V-Cell 10 320. I have played with Volkl for years and I love this racket. The specs look similar to your Super G 10, and it may be new and exciting and close to your racket. It is worth a demo.
I did consider it, but it seems like a bit more a spin oriented frame? Lower swingweight, higher stiffness etc. Can't hurt to demo though.
And Kay, you could probably get the handles looked at and have them refurbished as long as the problem is something to do with the pallet or butt cap.
The C10 will definitely give you the comfort that you miss from your SG 10MP and the weight but in a lower powered manner especially that your SG have leather grips.
What other racquets have you tried and what grip
size do you normally use?
Yeah, I think I'll pull the grip off and have a look at the frame that's suffering. Maybe it's fixable.
So the C10 is lower powered than the SG10? Did they just kill that particular line of racquets all together and not replace it with anything? I'd put leathers on my new racquet too, since I like the more headlight balance and the texture of the grips.
I don't necessarily need a Volkl replacement. I was just curious what users of the SG10 325 moved to. Could be any brand.
I tested fairly extensively. Lots of Head sticks, the new Rad Pro, the Prestige Pro (which I landed on, as mentioned), Gravity Pro, Speed Pro. Technifibre RS315, which I quite liked, but didn't get enough time with. A few babolats (hurt my arm). A few yonexs (mostly vcores and vcore pros) which were all okay, but felt kind of aenemic to me and none really impressed.
I want to try the Head Extreme Tour, which is much lighter than my SG10, but apparently a great comfortable frame that can be customised well.
I've never really given Wilsons a shot. Partially because of their QC issues. Nor have I tried any Prince sticks.
All I know is I want a headsize 98-100in, because this 95 is really giving me trouble against big hitters (4.5/5.0). Not too stiff either, and I guess a little hint of power in the frame, but nothing on the level of a pure drive?
