    Senior Doubles Player Racquet Quest

    With my Pure Drive I use a Lux 4g co-poly. Soft on the arm and helps me produce some lovely lobs. Although the pure Drive tour is not know for touch the more I play with it the, more touch comes. So in close don't overlook the advantage of co-polys. At 71 I only started using poly's last year.

    Senior Doubles Player Racquet Quest

    Hi all, I have gone through all this. 71.5 now hip replacement at 67 so, mobility sucks. Also a racquet junkie. I have a list of racquets that work. The Gamma 117 is one but, too underpowered. The 135 Weed is good. The Vortex Green 117? is another one. You might ask what I use now.....Babolat...

    Vortex Tennis Racquets

    The more I play with the 29 inch model the more I like it. It's light weight and open string pattern are a joy. Anyone who feels these advantages are minor does not know what they are missing.

    Vortex Tennis Racquets

    Further play tells me that, it's most striking feature is depth of ball. Added depth and extra topspin make it a winner. Anything you get for free in a racquet is special. Strung at 50lbs with NRG2. I ordered a used pro 116 that came with poly. Unfortunately it also came with a 27 inch length...

    Vortex Tennis Racquets

    O.K. Got 20 mins on a wet Synthetic Grass court. Best part was depth with topspin. Outside sweet spot was dead. I didn't take too many slice backhands so, hard to judge. Serves were easy and a little extra spin but, nothing dramatic. I will be adding an a thick grip as they sent a 4/1/4 instead...

    headlight 105sq.inch and up frames

    I think you mean Wonder Wand. I believe he bought them as a failed company and acquired the molds. He reengineered and changed the string pattern. Had great ideas and made some great frames. (Even had Wilson copy the idea) High Praise!

    I also had the Battistone Natural. I worked hard with it but, too many disadvantages. I think string configurations , length and strings can be played with but, two handles is a fail IMHO

    Silicone in Handle?

    I think it can provide improvement and, one of the only things you get for free. I just ordered a new Yonex. I believe they are putting gel in their racquets. I will say silicone is messy and permanent. Lead tape is better.

    Barricade 2017 or Novak Pro's?

    I am coming back after 4 yrs. Adidas Barricade was the best I found but, I used to wear K-Swiss only until they changed enough to hurt my feet
