Alos need to mention the one on the far left is my girlfriend's racquet I just keep it at my place.

Why aren't you using that Rebound Pro? Looks heaps better than the 2 Bahalot racquets on the right.

Any idea how it plays in comparison to the Aerodrive & PD?

It has a very light feel to it. Sometimes that can be ok, but I got it for my girlfriend to play with and it is bright pink which doesn't look good on me lol. It does have a sturdy frame for its light feel though. Very quick swing speed. TW says that the racquet was pretty much made with the female player in mind. Tonight I will try hitting with it and see how it feels myself and I will get back to you on it and let you know how it goes.

i have hit with the rebound pro also and its actually a very good frame. easy acess to power and spin. not too heavy but hefty enough. the only issue why i did not stick with it is becuse its too stiff

Yeah i would pretty much agree with all of that...actually a pretty powerful stick for trying to be all girly and whatnot!

The Juice 100 is spec'd about like the APDGT or PDGT, so yeah, I'd say so.

I agree it seems Wilson has tried to make the juice as like the aeropro as possible! Have not had the chance to play with it yet but hope i will!
How does it compare to the aero?
cheers

My current tennis gear:

Vcore 89 Tours replacing the RQ1500long- yep big generation gap since I stopped playing for a while. The 89T PJ called for matching shoes, so I got a red pair of GR4s from Japan :)

Not all me stuff but most of it, the important bits anyway. I'm on an odyssey of string.

Wow some really nice rackets!
But what is your favorite string out of them so far? i am on a string search for the perfect poly so it is interesting to see what people like the best ;)
Cheers

I got you the first time:)
I'm still very early in the search. I've only tried Tour Biter 18 and Black Code 18. I'm very impressed with the Black Code, it's got amazing controlled ball pocketing that I had no idea existed. The TourBite doesn't have the pocketing but it's still very nice and I've only used it for 90min or so. The Black Code has 4hrs on it, it's still very good and I will play with them until they're dead/snap.

My humble racquet collection.
I had the pro staff BLX 6.1's original replacement grip changed to leather and it plays great.
Box frame racquets are my choice. It just feels and good!
The Pure Drives IMO are like wild horses. Tons of power and not easy to control. String tensions has to be always be within a small range to play good.

Pure Drive using Full bed Pro Supex Ultimatum Spin @ 52lbs.

It's a 95, sorry for the typo.
My main racquet now is the pro staff.
Good control with nice touch and feel pretty much sums it up.
Pure Drive has good power and spin but too powerful at times especially when the string tension drops after a few sessions of play. The stiffness is pretty hard to get use to. Just got em to try out but didn't like it very much.
The pro staff is my fav stick at the moment.

okay thanks, the PS95 is one of the 2 racquets I am looking at now, have heard the power level is too low though, maybe lead tape will fix this issue

good stuff! where did you get the mantis? how does it play?

I got the 285 from TW, I've only had one hit with it and it was rushed. Felt good though, very solid at impact and the spin is incredibly easy to come by. I also liked the 305 a lot, though this one felt like I could get more from it.

Hey cluckcluck, how does L-Tec compare to BHSR?

Like night and day. The 5s with 3s hybrid is incredible. I am about to start testing the 5s/Os combination.
The L-Tec is equally soft but is playable much longer and I get more bite/feel from the L-Tec.
This of course, is when I use the JET installation.

You should give the L-Tec a try (at a low tension -52lbs)

Yup Paul those are RDS001s MP couldn't resist them when they were out back in 2008.

Power level is acceptable to me. I don't think it's too low but then again it will depend on the string setup but it sure plays a whole lot better after beefing it up to 340g and making it more headlight. Also if you're getting a pair try to get the serial numbers as close as possible. I had mine with a 5g difference between them. Had to make up for the difference by adding some lead tape. This is very common of Wilson frames.

ok thanks, trying to decide between this and an Angell custom racquet
