Hi all
I am returning to playing tennis after a good 7 or 8 years away. I learnt the game using a range of old Head Ventoris and Head Polaris racquets, and moved up to a Wilson PS Classic 6.1 when I developed the strength and timing to make the most of it.
However, I am now finding the PS quite underpowered, and my backhand in particular is really lacking any penetration. I love the control I get with the PS, so I'm loath to go back to my old Ventoris/Polaris as they feel pretty crude in comparison, although generating power is not an issue with these racquets.
I'd appreciate any recommendations anyone has for a racquet that plays in a similar way to the the PS classic but has a little more assistance for the player. I'd like to run my old PS as a spare as I can't afford at present to invest in 2 new racquets, so I'd prefer a racquet that isn't too dissimilar.
All advice gratefully received
Matt
