Default Best all around racquet of all time?

I have played almost every racquet, all the Heads, Babs, etc. and I like the K-Factor 95 above all, here's why, and what is yours and why?

The K95 is good weight, 12.3 ounces, has great plough through, accuracy, but also has more maneuverability that my 90, more access to spin (The head is more round then oval), it just doesn't lack anything.

Second is the Bab Pure Drive.

Pure Drive has the widest appeal of any racquet IMO. Beginners through to pros.

Any 112 squ inch helper racquet is my fav, because of the automatic spin over the net.

And just like that, we have the makings for a hostile thread. OP, the Radical is the best all round frame. Light weight, easily customizable, low flex. It's great for a beginner to high level player.

^ my vote is with the radical as well, although i play with a customized prestige, the radical gives me more room to customize even after capping and adding a leather grip. the low flex is really comfortable on the arm

I would have to agree with some of the posters above and say the PD and Radical are some really good all around racquets.

If racket tech is advanced now wouldn't the best racket always be a new version?
