The other day as my shanks were having far better results via misdirection than any off my strings I pondered, what are the best frames for shanking?
I posit there are three categories.
1. Most accurate. For me the PS85/90 gave me the most directional control without involving strings. Most balls traveled in the same trajectory I intended, though a few exited at a 90 degree angle due to the box beam.
2. Most comfortable. Head racquets with Twaron are fantastic in this respect, second only to wood. A good shank in the middle and you can feel the frame wrap around it.
3. Best disguise/spin. My nominee in this category is the Wilson 6.1 Classic Mold. I can’t tell you how many cross-court tip shank volleys and and PWS parabolas that no opponent could predict.
