Spend your money on lessons from a qualified teaching professional with whom you get along. That will do you more good than any particular racket.

Don't know.

I guess I don't really hit that often these days. When I do, I just want to use my favorite frames. I don't want to "waste time" as it were cork sniffing and cheese tasting.
