I like 6.0 95 better than 6.0 85. Certainly 6.0 85 is a great stick especially in the department of serve and volley but for a ground stroker like me, its small sweet spot doesn't reward so much, if not punish. With slightly modified 6.0 95, I can do everything I want from the baseline. Also, my...

6gs on the throat will make the tour 95 totally different.

In comparision with 6.0 95, PS Tour 95 has (1) a smaller sweet spot (not tiny but not large enough) (2) more pop and power (3) less stability (4) similar spin potentials and (5) is much better in serve department. With lead taping, I think, PS Tour 95 is a pretty good stick at a decent price...

I'm searching for a stick for my wife who is a developing 2.5 to 3.0 player with modest forehands and serves. She's currently using RDX 500 MP and says it is a bit too hefty after an hour. So, we're considering Cata 6 and 7 for her backup. Which one is better do you think in terms of power...

How about the Fischer Pro No. One? It is 98 size and weighs 12oz. Can anyone comment on it?

No, not necessarily. High swing weight with lower static weight = More power than stability Low swing weight with higher static weight = More stability than power

--> Racquets that have higher swing weight than their static weight while the balance is head light. For example, PS Tour 95, Slazenger Pro Braided Henman, Pure Drive Team +. --> Good News: These sticks generate more power and are easy to serve with. --> Bad News: Less stable and generally...

The best racquet I've ever tried is the Max 200G, although my individual favorite is 6.0 95.

I second RDX 500 MP

How about Max 200G? I haven't played with wooden racquets but probably the feel of Max 200G would be closet.

I've playtested the legendary Max 200G today. Wow, what a fantastic stick! The sweetspot was so so large even though the head size is only 80sq. I could hit ever solidest & heaviest balls on the baseline. I guess that's because the sweetspot is large with small head size. Which racquet do you...

IMO, the weight of 320g with even balance (with higher swing weight?) seems significantly different from that of 300G or MFil 300, although head size, beam width and string pattern are almost same. If it is a painted 300G just with leather grip, the balance should be more head light.

Along with the advent of so many new frames, here is sneaky news that will please Dunlop fans who have not been satisfied with 200G and 300G. ********************************* Dunlop MaxPly McEnroe Racquet Spec Head Size:98 sq.in/632 sq.cm Length: 27 in./ 69 cm Strung Weight: 11.3...

I have played with all three radical MPs. (DK about OS). 1. LM Rad. MP : moderately soft, decent spin and power 2. Ti Rad MP: soft but too light 3. I Rad MP: stiff, low spin potential

RDX 500 MP: better at the baseline rather than at the net PS 6.0 95: all court players racquet PS 6.0 will suit better for you. Why not try RDX 500 Mid instead of MP?

You got the MFil 200!

Excalibur is expensive bcaz the butt is made of gold.

I wish I had such neighbors! envy you.

I second that. There is something more than normal dislikes toward William sisters.

Great match i.e., the third set! With such a strenuous spirit, Serena broke her jinx spell away against an arrogant girl. Nice to see it. Breakpoint, do you only observe Maria? She is mediagenic, espngenic but, I think, disguised.

Dunlop Max 200G and Wilson Pro Staff 6.0 85 seems to be similar in every aspect-highest reputations, feel, head size, weight etc. Which one do you think is better, or prefer?

I have used a tight elbow strap, but it stiffened muscles around my elbow. If your TE is acute, acupuncture and vacuum cups will help a lot. Also, temporary change of your play style helps. TE is more closely related with backhand strokes (1HBH) and serves than forehand strokes, because your arm...

ferrari, thanks for making a good data set. I did some statistical analysis and found that there is no meaningful relationship between power and control; power and control are neither mutually exclusive nor incompatible. Power racquets can be control racquets at the same time, and vice versa...

Why does Slazenger imitate Wilson? The specs of Pro X1 are enough to remind me of 6.0 95. Pro Braided seems a lighter version of 6.1 Classic. Marketing strategy or lack of creativity? BTW, is Slazenger affiliated with Dunlop? Is it true? Then, they may be a safeguard against Wilson in...

If you're using Team +, lead taping on 5 and 7 o'clock will be a better choice. What Team + is lacking are stability and control. Lead tapes on 12 o'clock will aggravate it.

I have played with all those racquets except RDX 300. Instead, I have tried RDX 500 mp. My preference is LM Rad. > RDX 500 = 300G (with lead taping) > I Rad. in all aspects of playability. Concering solely elbow friendliness, however, I rate 300G > RDX 500 > LM Rad > I Rad. When judging...

To mela I think so. When I judge the weight, my rule of thumb is to calculate the average of static weight and swing weight. Your previous racquet's average will be about 320g strung. LM radical MP's average is about 322g strung (=318g+325g/2). They're almost same!

Don't forget the swing weight!!! IMO, static weight doesn't have much meaning without simultaneously considering swing weight together. In terms of weight, weak 3.0 players can handle 6.0 95 (346g /SW 318g) without big difficulty, but they are much more likely to have difficulty with nSix-One...

Moosryan, you got into the point here! *Swing weight (325g) > Static weight (318g) --> More power *Moderate head light balance plus closed pattern --> More control Generally, powerful racquets have swing weights over 325g. Extreme head light with a smaller swing weight makes racquets a...
