Leaving well enough alone?

Edward DFW · 11-08-2009, 06:14 PM

I demoed a racquet a few months ago and I liked it a lot... but my forehand did not adjust right away due to the increased weight... I put things off for a while and did not order.

Since then I have been playing some of my best tennis ever with my current racquets (Prince TT Warrior OS)... This may have more to do with my confidence level improving and improved technique but whatever, things are going pretty well as of late.

Soooooooooo... I found someone locally who has a few of the racquets I demoed in my grip size for a good price... I am very tempted to buy them but at the same time I am a little afraid to try and switch things up right now, when things are going well.

I still have plenty to learn and improve on. Part of me feels like switching right now would be a setback that just isn't worth it. The other part of me feels like the added weight and plow through could help me long term.

Then again, its not like my Warriors are light (lead inside the handle), plus I have a whole roll of lead tape to play with.

I guess what it comes down to is me not wanting to go through the pain period, if there is one at all... while adjusting to a new stick.

What should I do?

I would go with the raquet that gives you the most confidence, why switch unless you are 100 percent sure your game will improve, otherwise you are just going to continue second guessing the decision and eventually you will be back with your old stick and set-up.
