Time for a change

I've been using the babolat pure drive for about 1 year and a half. Recently I've been getting a really sore arm after I play with it, and my coach thinks the racket is too heavy for me. Just got back from a tournament ( played terribly and lost in the second round ) and I think it's time for a change. I noticed lots of players are using Volkl rackets, what ones are good? I'm looking for a racket that is under 300g but not too light. What about the head flexpoint?

WTF, don't you mean too light. Anyway a racquet under 300g weight will kinda give you MORE arm trouble down the road. I would suggest weighting your PD so its more head light, that way it will FEEL lighter yet still provide control.

My thinking exactly. If the PD is too heavy then what's light?

The PD is causing you arm problems because it is super stiff. if you like the PD for because it serves so good, I suggest a Flexpoint Prestige MP or XL MP.

So a racket like the n-six one tour would be easier on my arm?

May be easier on the arm but not your game.

Yeah, racquets that are small like the Tour are harder to hit with; you can try racquets like the Prince Graphite OS - a nice frame with good flex and good heft, too. Baseliner's love them anyway. Otherwise, the Prestiges are nice, the Redondo MP isn't too hard to hit with; the Diablo has considerable pop for it's headsize which is always a good choice; I hear a lot about the Tecnifibre frame's as well.
