Wilson Profiles were pretty bad, back then.

Old PSC 6.1 has an RA of 74, Profile 80.

The Fischer's are to heavy.

I cannot handle it with my service.

Anybody else a idea for a perfect old one?
What about the Head Microgel Radical MP?

Hannah19 · 10-14-2012, 10:24 AM

Extra information.

rackets I Like:

- PB 10 Mid
- Pro One
- Prestige Pro

But all about 10 grams to heavy for me.

What is important for me:

- Comfort
- Control
- Stability
- Maneuverability

Try the Radical's or old Babolat Pure Control (Pro One mould).

Steve Huff · 10-24-2012, 07:57 PM

People have mentioned some very good rackets, but if it's "arm-friendly" you want, the best is the Pro Kennex Asymmetric 265. It's 95 sq in. It's black/gold or blue/gold in color. They have other ones too (a red colored one I know of for sure) and some oversized asymmetric models. But the 95 sq in one that from the side looks like a Destiny model is the most arm-friendly graphite racket I think was ever made. I've hit with several of the Fischers too. Great rackets. Arm-friendly--yes they are. But, the Asymmetric 265 was the best.

Hmmm... I believe I've got one of those hanging around, might aswell gve it a try.

ruud5, As to the Microgel Radical Midplus - it played much stiffer than I suspected from published specs. Better with weight, but far removed from other 80's compostes mentioned. No comparison...

Say Chi Sin Lo · 11-01-2012, 07:28 PM

PS85 and PC600, they both hit like butter.

Dont Forget Prince Graphites,,,your choice. both ~$129 ea @ TW

from tw:

The Graphite Original continues its claim as one of the best all-time player's racquets. With over 30 years under its belt, the Graphite Classic's feel and control garnishes a loyal following few racquets have known. The Mid, with its simplicity of design (smaller 93 head, open string pattern, standard length) is worthy of its "ultimate control" status. Timeless frame characteristics such as the 19mm beam, 12 oz. plus weight, head light balance and Cross Bar Stabilizer, make it a continued favorite among advanced 5.0 to Tour level players.

Oh hell yeah, I'll take graphite and kelvar all day every day over these modern day gimmick.

I was having major arm problems and took someone's advice to try the Pro Kennex 5g and I bought it without even trying it out. The first time I used it, it felt like terrible - really flexible, no power. In fact the first time I used it I lost a match to a guy that I'd never lost to before and never since.

But after that poor intro, I grew to love it, and my arm recovered within a couple of months and that was a few years ago. I switched to the Bablolat Pure Control when I got a super deal on some, but only did so because they had same characteristics as the ProKennex. Headlight, heavy racquet, narrow beam. Arm is still fine.
