BB NYC or Pure Drive 2012?

Tommyj · 06-27-2012, 06:49 PM

Trying to decide between these two frames. PD I would play stock, maybe just a couple of grams of weight at each of 3, 9 and 12 for added stability and to get the SW up to 315+. NYC I would be adding more weight - either frame I want around 11.4 ounces with overgrip and about 4-5 pt. HL, SW 315-320. I'll be stringing with full multi, no poly or hybrid.

My concerns:
- Have not been blown away by the general feedback and comments on the NYC. Maybe that's because its a brand new racquet and people are still trying to figure out the best mods and string setup.
- Major concern about the stiffness and arm friendliness of the Pure Drive, even with a full bed of multi.

Located in Canada, so I can demo the Pure Drive here, but not the Becker. Appreciate any thoughts to help me decide. Switched to an XV1 earlier in the year, coming from a PB 10 Mid. Like the XV1 but want to go with something somewhat heavier which has more of a players feel. In particular, I find that the XV1 does not produce a heavy ball, sort of lacks that power for put away shots.

Thanks
