Bosworth

but I'll always be loyal to Yonex, at least with my backup racquets at least. Hmmm, unless I find something better.

Default ProKennex

I've only been using the PK Heritage type R for a few days, but I couldn't be more impressed. This seeems like an innovative company willing to try new things like the kinetic system. Lots of models to choose from and the price is right. I doubt that I will ever buy another racquet not made by ProKennex.

lol Yolkl. you might not know, but just about all racquets made in China are made by ProKennex from their factories. my old social sciences teacher told me that. he said even wilsons are made in Prokennex factories.

I voted Prince, but not for the current Prince. The POG MP,OS and the CTS series are very good racquet. Afterthen, all those TT, Air handle are just gimmicks.

If I could ignore everything they've produced since the CTS range I'd say Prince. However, since I can't I'll say they're all pretty disappointing and overpriced but the best of a sorry lot, for me, is Head.

That's funny. Wait until Triple B sees your post.

I would have to go with Yonex, then Kennex.

Babolat, because they dont seem to lie as much as the others... just wish they'd make a smaller frame.

Yonex a close second.

Wilson/Prince/Head can GTF

Thanks andfor...I was a little slow with my reply to this post.

ibemadskillzz...I have tried all the racquets in the world (well 99% of the ones in the US) and YONEX the greatest...and it isn't just because I just ordered two Yonex RDX-500 Midplus racquets I do feel that they have higher quality control than most of the racquet companies out there.

Tough call. Depends on what you mean by ... I have played with Wilson Prostaffs, Head Ventoris, Prince Approach, Volkl C-9 and C-10, Dunlop Revolution...If push came to shove i go with Volkl even though I currently am playing with a pair of Wilson HPS 6.1 Prostaffs. Ask any Volkl vet. There is just something about the feel of a Volkl.
