volkl 10 (295) or Head Youtek IG Radical MP

[ruud5]

Which one is the best?
I have also TE and cannot handle more weight.
Are there better options?

If you want a Head get the Mircogel Radical. It's nice and comfy and cheap.

If you want a Volkl get the PowerBridge 10 295. The Organix 10 295 is a bit crisp feeling and most people say not as not as comfy as the PB. Plus the PB is also cheap!

Last time I tried a Radical (it was YT Radical about a year ago), I found it pretty powerful. Volkl PB10 295, by comparison, is very low power. They are almost at opposite ends of the spectrum. If you are already adjusted to one, it will be very difficult to play with the other. You can probably re-adjust, but it will take several months.

The o295 is crisp compared to older volkl rackets but I play it and have had minor elbow issues in past. No issues with O295 - very, very comfortable.

If weight is actively hurting you elbow, my opinion is you should stop playing for awhile. Weight in a racket actually helps you elbow as weight provides stability and absorbs shock.

I have a bad case of golfer's elbow and switched from the Organix 10 325 to the IG Radical and really like it better in both playability and arm comfort. Definitely demo it as it is a unique feel but once used to it I like it a lot.
