    Pure Drive replacement advice

    Have you considered the Head Graphene Radical pro or the Graphene Speed pro? Both have a high stiffness but with the right soft copoly and/or hybrid it actually plays very wel with that nice POP you'll get from the PD. I play 3 years with the PD and find that these Heads are playing similar...

    All have their pro's and cons, but to me the best are: Heath Waters and McGraw for the excellent, complete instructions and explanation on all strokes and aspects of the game (cognitive) Doug King and Tomas the feel guy for feel things and visualization Kevin Garlington for his...

    PDR 2012 / Extreme Pro 2.0 compared to PDR Cortex?

    This is a personal thing... I feel the EP2.0 swings heavier and slower than you should expect from a racket with 5HL... Experience is the only way to found out!

    PDR 2012 / Extreme Pro 2.0 compared to PDR Cortex?

    The PDR 2012 is a great stick! It's a power/spin stick and when you hit the right spot, the ball explodes of your racket and the spin will take care of a safe margin. The EP2.0 feels different imho. I couldn't get used to the size of the hoop, it just swings/feels bigger. The PDR on the other...

    Has anyone tried both Head Youtek IG Rad Pro & IG Prestige Pro?

    My experience is that the IG Rad Pro has a larger sweetspot than the IG prestige Pro... When you hit the sweetspot the Prestige pro has more control and feel. Altough, the Rad Pro has a plush feeling that is not comparable to the IGPP., or any other racket.. I haven't noticed any difference in...

    Switching rackets regularly - does it hinder form?

    I play with 5 different racquets right now... a Pure Drive Roddick, Aero Pro Drive 2013, Head Graphene Speed Pro, Head Exterme Pro 2.0 which I can switch between without a problem. When playing inside on carpet I like the Head Graphene Speed Pro most, it will give a feeling of more control and...

    the best head radical line...

    I played with the LM, Youtek and the Microgel versions and now with the Youtek Innegra line which I like best... I haven't played with the Graphene Radical yet, but if I take the higher stiffness into consideration I can't imagine it wil have such a plush feel as the old ones.

    Tips on returning (weaker) second serve

    Thanx, that helps! I have noticed that footwork and spacing is critical. But what really was an eye-opener to me was that the return of serve is a different stroke than a normal groundstroke. Also the way you position yourself, stepping up/moving forward and the cutoff the ball diagonally...

    Tips on returning (weaker) second serve

    Hi, For a hard first serve I find my way to return, also a lot of info to find on how to do this (v-footwork, standing closer and move forward to transfer weight from back foot and jump into the shot). Or just block/chip the serve. Strangely, I find more difficulties on a second serve...

    From PDR to.....

    Yeah... but it hits OK! Or was the form factor distracting your tennisgame? And I'm cool by myself so even if I would play with a lollypop it's OK! :) But... I have to hit for a while to before I van come with conclusions... up until now it is almost no difference when I hit with a PDR or...

    From PDR to.....

    Why don't you try the EP2.0? It really comes closest to PDR than any other racket in imho (eg a customized APD). You will definitely feel more comfort and some extra control... How much extra control is difficult to specify... You can still playtest some 18x20 patterns, I am doing this...
