How Heavy is Your Racket?
These days juniors are getting, bigger stronger faster. This is allowing alot of them to play with heavy sticks. I know where I play with all high schoolers we all are starting to break above 11oz, which before was unheard of and everyone used 9.9oz. How heavy is your racket?

slightly heavier then 12 oz. like 12.3 or so. It's heavier then I'd like it to be, but it's headlight so that helps a lot. My dream stick would probably be between 11 and 11.8 oz.

Hmm... 12 oz, for the moment. I dunno why people seem to find low weight preferable, I was hitting with an ROK today, that was an experience!

a whopping 11 oz
 lol i went from one spectrum (10.5 oz) to the opposite end (12.7 oz) and found that to maximize my winning and not my ego, anywhere between 11 and 11.5 oz was the way to go, but the racket has to be solid, so near even balance. |

Used to be 14 ounces even.
Now, with these modern sticks: a trim and whippy 13.1 ounces. 8 pts HL. Lead at 9:30 and 2:30. Even more at the top of the handle. Great stick. |

New Pure Control's will be around 12.4 w/ strings, overgrip etc. Still not sure if I want to add any lead at all, they are super solid sticks stock.
