Hey all,
Noticed a deluge of first time posters asking for racquet advice, so decided theres no time like the present to post my own plea for help.
I've been playing for a year now with my original racquet, a Liquidmetal 2. I'm finding the stick a bit too powerful and unstable for my current level and competition, since I'm hitting alot of balls long and the racquet tends to twist in my hand more often. Looking for a racquet around 11.5 oz., open string pattern, and I have a budget of about 120 per racquet.
As to my playing style, I use a full western forehand, an eastern 1HBH, and orthodox grips for serving+volleying(which i don't do very often). My current game is almost strictly baseline, but I want a good volleying stick, since i'll be playing alot of doubles next year. I'm 6'2, 15, and have no injuries to speak of.
I was considering the Mfil 200+ and a Donnay Pro Int'l to demo. Any other suggestions/comments would be appreciated.
