What raquet should i get?

[eneka]

First of all i'm 15 yrs old and have been playing for about 2.5 years.
Right now i'm using a Head Liquid Metal Genesis i got some time ago from Big5.
It has Gosen Polyon 17 strings strung at 59lbs i belive.
Anyways i'm thinking about getting a new racket and i was thinking about the Head Microgel Prestige Pro...what do you guys think? My friend has a Head Airflow 7 and i don't really like it cause it seems to light for me. What racket would you guys recommend for a player like me?

What kind of a player are you to begin with? Defensive, Offensive, Serve & Volley (old school)? Do you like pushing your opponent or do you like to finish off the point as fast as possible?

I like playing at baseline and i tend to make my opponent run around and off the court...

and if it helps I'm left-handed.

A friend of mines is left-handed and he plays with a Dunlop MFil 200. It's a great racquet overall but I believe it's discontinued.

Many other TT members would recommend racquets such as AeroGel 200, Babolat PDC/APDC, Wilson K-Factors. I haven't really played with any racquets except a Wilson N6.1 95 and my Fischer M-Speed Pro No.1 98. So I don't have experience with other racquets that other tennis players have access to.

Umm...lefty? likes to hug the baseline? makes opponents run onto the other courts? Is your name Rafael Nadal by any chance?

No, the AeroPro Drive is a nice racquet for you. You should demo it of course, because it's very light, and I don't know how you'll like that considering you like the Prestige...but it hits GREAT groundstrokes.

Demo Demo Demo Demo Demo Demo Demo Demo Demo Demo Demo Demo Demo Demo Demo Demo Demo Demo

But if you cant i would suggest a K blade 98

I should say the KBlade Tour....

but first demo the aeropro drive cortex or without cortex...
