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.

Thnks,
Which Babolat Pure Control?

not a true classic, but i've been happy with the head microgel radical MP, and i'm playing the china versions. got into 4 of them for a little over 2 bills. old school feel and cheap (maybe abit light, but that's easy to fix).

switched from the Prince Speedport Black LB's which were killing my elbow and shoulder.

played in the late 80s, quit for about 20 or so years and started again about 3.5-4 years ago, so the MG rad is actually quite "similar" to the sticks i played as a wee lad. ben using them about a year.

some friends play those pure controls you speak of (zylon or somesuch, not the swirly paint job, if that's even correct. they are kinda darkish red and grey/white). i like those too.

Hannah--did you get to try it out (or find it for that matter)?

The asymetric you mean?
Totally forgot about it, to busy playing with woodies and the Wavex 3003 professional 95.
I'll give it a try next Thursday...

I was hoping a HeadMircrogelRadOS would be in the running, but I'll find out when the rain stops.

The MG Radical OS isn't going to be hard on your arm, but it's not in the running with some of the others. Great frame though.

Maybe it is too heavy but no love for the Volkl C10 Pro?

Really nice racquet, ATM friendly, flex rating 52, 8pts head light, open string pattern, huge sweet spot. I love this stick. Remember reading on TT, somebody said the feel is similar to head prostock racquet. Was it Vsbabolat? Not sure. Anyways, if u can find one, give it a try.
