People often talk about the great Volkl feel. However, I have never hit with a Volkl that I could get any kind of feel or comfort with. They all seemed very harsh. Strange.

I agree that for the stiff racquets, particular DNX and PowerBridge series

I've hit with rackets from all of these companies and can't say I dislike any of them...some don't suit my game as well as others but in the right hands one is just as good as another.

I actually never really liked Wilson but irony of life has set me up with a Wilson mid I really love and I even bought five of them. I still don't like their grip shape, though.

Babolats are certainly nothing for me.

Babolat and prince, all the babolats I've played with, the last 3 aero pros, and the last pure storm were withered greatly underpowered, had horrible swing weight ( for me ) hurt my wrist, or were to stiff!

Prince to me just has lacking quality and beer found one I liked, ex girlfriend had one of the older model o series and made her switch from prince and she never played better

I personally never found them powerful, I always found them hard to swing and just very hard and dead feeling ( and I prefer racquets on the heavier side ) they've just never impressed me, racquets and opinion will vary from person to person

Actually REALLY trying to like Head racquets, but Demos & whim purchases leave me hating them.......

Loved the look & 'hand test' of Rad Pro & OS, but hated on court, then Demoed Speed 315 16x19 for solid week & LOVED it.....

Bought one new & played COMPLETELY dead w lively string s/u used million times!!! Rest was stock......
I string / customize myself, & measured Strung Balance @ 11PTS HL VS 6PT HL STRUNG SPEC!!!

Attempted modding for a minute, but returned as defect w/out problem....

Have seen countless Wilson K Factor & BLX frames w inconsistent specs as well---- not as dramatic, but most commonly inconsistent brand by far
