good control rackets?

Goliver · 02-09-2013, 01:10 PM

Hey everyone,

Im looking for a new racket. I have used the old blx 6.1 95 16x18 for two years now. It is very powerful and i can hit the ball very hard with it but, in my opinion it lacking in control (despite being a control racket). I recently used a friend's head prestige midplus a couple days ago and loved it. It had great control and it really helped my serve and volley/all court game. Does anyone have any suggestions for anymore good control rackets I should demo?

Thanks

I think you have already answered your question.

The following rackets are great rackets for control you can try.
Wilson BLX Pro Staff 90
Head YOUTEK IG Prestige Mid
Volkl Organix 10 Mid

What strings do you use and what strings were in your friend's racquet?

You could try the 18 X 20 version of your frame. I think the 16 X 18 is way overrated, control wise...
