New Racket Suggestions

[babypetit]

Hey all,

I currently use a Babolat pure storm limited GT, and I think it's time to switch rackets.

I have used these frames for 2 years and they are beginning to get "soft", and I'm looking for a little more forgiveness and spin.

I am probably between a 4.5-5.0 playing DIII college tennis.

What are some rackets that fit these criteria? I do prefer to have a stiffer feeling frame as well!

Some ideas to demo below. My opinion is even the blade mid+ 18x20 will give you plenty of spin - especially if you drop down to a 17G poly/multi hybrid.

1. Volkl o10 325 or Volkl o10 295 customized. Sweet playing rackets. I play a customized 010 295.
2. New wilson blades mid+ 98 in either 16x19 or 18x20. These have very good SW for high level play. I have only demo-ed earlier models but the latest models are getting very favorable feedback.
3. The new dunlops m3.0 and t3.0 - have dome-ed these and both are very good - decent SW stock and room to customize

thanks for the response. i really think i might want to try those wilson blades. never tried any type of volkl rackets. will look into those.

how about babolat aero storm? or is it too flexible?

Just FYI but the rumor mill says that the Aero Storm(AS) is being discontinued. So if you do go with them, stock up. The RA (stiffness ) on the AS (67)is actually stiffer than you current racq (59).
