2 questions.

[SAFMAN69]

1. Is it true that a head 98 square inch racket would be more similiar to a wilson 95 inch in size than a wilson 98 inch in size?

2. Can anyone make a comparison between the microgel prestige and the radical midplus? which has more control/spin/power/feel/comfort?

1. yes they would be similar but if you overlaid a wilson 95 and a 98 they'd be very similar as well.THe difference of 3 inch² over a fame is almost nothing.

thanks!

can anyone make any contributions to question 2?

Not trying to discourage or be negative in anyway, but if at all possible wouldn't it be better to play-test the racquets you have an interest in? How a racquet feels or even compares to another is all subjective.

On the other hand, if you're looking for feedback to see if your impressions are in line with what others think of it...well, that I could understand.

i cannot demo these rackets in britain very easily and i need to choose between the two this week so i am looking for reccomendations.

im 15 and am looking to do international tournaments sometime soon- i play from the baseline with either alot of spin or i can hit flat. 2hbh aswell any more info?

i would lead either racket up to around 370g so i dont mind the weight..

im asking to be recommended the better racket for me ..?

thanks.

Ah I see - makes sense. Unfortunately I can't offer up any info with respect to the racquets you're interested in. I was just curious about why you didn't just demo them for yourself...but now I know.

Good luck in your search!

Didn't you already get 3 LMRad? Why do you need to know more? Just play with the sticks. Does it make any difference if a head 98 is bigger or smaller than 95 or if the MGMP plays better when you already have bought your sticks?

I seem to recall that when Head specifies the head-size of their racquets, it includes the area of the frame in the upper hoop. I believe they are the only manufacturer to do this. Thus, the 98 sq in spec'd Head frames probably have a stringbed area closer to 95 sq in.

yeah, but im worried i made the wrong decision since some people say the prestiges are much better sticks. never mind!

Exactly, do you WANT to know you made the wrong choice? It's not the racquet, it's the player... so just play. Does Agassi need to know if an OS is less accurate than a mid?
