Racket Advice Please

[Jamesm182]

Hi

I currently play with the Tecnifibre 295 T Fight vo2. Ideally what im looking for is a farme with a bit more mass, but not too much. Just something to help end points that little bit easier . (The frame seems to generate tonnes of pace but little penetration).

Im a lefty with a big flat serve, good forehand with spin or flat, and relatively flat 2hbh.

What i love about the Tec is its balance, comfort and how easy it is to swing.
Id like these characteristics or similar in a new racket
Ive had arm problems in the past so am a bit wary of something too heavy. I originally only switched to this for a coaching racket but was that comfortable to use over extended periods i switched permanently .

Rackets im currently looking at are :-

Head youtek ig radical pro
Head youtek ig prestige s
Head youtek ig radical mp
Dunlop biomimetic tour 300
wilson pro staff six one 95

Any thoughts or recommendations would be very welcome, thanks guys

Companies known for making arm-friendly racquets include Pro Kennex, Volkyl, Boris Becker, Prince, and Pacific (formerly Fischer). You might want to include some of those on your list that have similar specs to the ones you are considering. Two models I like in particular are the Pro Kennex Ki 5 and Pacific X Force Pro. The Prince EXO3 Tour 100 was the most comfortable that I've tried, but it was hard for me to adjust to it.

Thanks , Ive had a look at the pacific line but not much there spec wise thats similar to those mentioned. I did like the look of the prince you mentioned but the Tec i use is 69 stiffness and all the previous prince frames i have tested have felt quite ..mushy for want of a better word

I would agree the Prince EXO3 Tour 100 is probably too flexible for you. I had a hard time adjusting to the trampoline effect myself. The other 2 racquets I mentioned were a much easier transition for me from the Babolat APDGT, which was an arm killer of a frame for me at 70 stiffness. I'm so glad I'm no longer using that one. When my arm started feeling better, other parts of my game improved along with it.
