Default Racket demos?

I was wondering if anyone knew a place in the UK where you could get to try out rackets? As I've often made the wrong choice about a racket and I think it's done to the fact I haven't been able to try it before, and it's only based on the online research I did before.
I was also hoping to try the Wilson Prostaff so does anyone have any comments on that? Would it be suitable for a female or is it good for power etc? Which other Wilsons or rackets would be recommended?

You really should spend some time researching the racket's the the specification of each one you're interested in, compared to KNOWING the specs of the rackets you have played with before.
This way, you can eliminate obvious mismatches, be it whether too heavy or too light, too much SW or not enough, too much spin or lack of.
Just search the TW shop section, go to Wilson rackets, and then WRITE DOWN the specs of each of the racket's you have used. Compare.

I have done that before but each time it makes me a bit more unsure. I'll try it again and see how it turns out. Thanks!

Well, think about this.....
If you use light rackets that are big in size, would you consider a PS Tour racket? 12 oz, 95 sizing, moderately stiff around 66, and SW's around 340.
And if you like all your head light racket's, why would you consider a BLXBlade98, with it's 11 oz weight and a 335 SW?
Do the math at home, then narrow it down to a few models, then consider finding demos or other rackets with similar specs.
