Default What racquet do you use

Poll coming

Just curious what the most popular.....

My bet is Wilson and Babolat and then Head.


I wonder though of Babolat the relative new kid on the block has overtaken the juggernaught Wilson?

Something else surprisingly takes the early lead.

I haven't seen any recent data, but Babolat has been gobbling up market share pretty quickly. In 2010 Babolat racquets had risen to 34.3 percent of the total market share in pro specialty stores, measured in dollars, for the quarter ending in June, according to the Tennis Industry Association. I suspect they've gained even more ground since then.

Wow...amazing!

They do make great sticks....it's relatively new compared to Wilson .

I think Babolat sticks came out in the 90's.....Wilson has probably been around for a hundred years.....

It's really amazing.

Head is in the lead.

I once read that the head ti s-6 is the most popular racquet ever made.

Yes I'm shamelessly bumping.

Thanks, it's sad how TF is underrated, but not as sad as Grishun not being able to afford shaving razors

Votes have been pretty widely spread so far, I expected Bab/Wilson/Head to have a bigger lead over the others.

I am a big Volkl fan. One of the reasons is that I am more used to the grip shape by Head and Volkl. And I prefer the feel of Volkl's sticks to Head's. I will probably try Head Prestige later though I don't quite like the 18*20 string pattern.
