Hi all, I'm an out of shape 40 year old returning to the sport I played on and off in my youth. I started up with an old fischer Pro No.1 modded up to a beefy weight, but as it's grommets fell apart, I decided to try out some current racquets. I ended up getting an ezone 98 at 305g, and while I liked it, ended up going back to older frames from the mid to late 90s like the head radical twintube, part of the reason being that I felt if I was taking my tennis seriously, I should be using a "serious player's racquet". But I'm also trying to adopt a more modern forehand, with short backswing and big torso rotation. I recently listened to Tennisnerd's podcast episode on racquet customization, and learned that most college level players play at stock weight with modern frames. Since they're all better than me, it seems I'm just letting my ideology get in the way of what's truly best fir my game and development. Am I bonkers, or do any of you experience this?
