After a long search my 15 1/2 year old has finally settled on a racquet / string setup. It has taken a long time of demoing racquets / restringing / Tungsten Tape / try out / restring / take back, etc. He also needed to take breaks for the high school season and bigger tournaments. He tried just about every racquet made.
His current setup is Wilson Ultra 97 / Luxilon 4G. He is not making a big move but he finally settled on the Wilson Blade 98 Countervail 16x19 with Solinco Hyper G.
We are planning to purchase quite a few racquets so this will be a big investment for us and so we are checking with his coaches who are affiliated with a local University on pricing. As I am not familiar with the product cycle from Wilson, is there a certain time of year when racquets are discounted from the retailers like Tennis Warehouse that would be best to time to purchase (i.e. the holidays/end of year) ?
Is it worthwhile to wait for the next model year given it is November as a newer model may be coming out?
Thanks for your help.
