Hi,
I am 16 years and have been playing tennis for quite a few years.
I played with the babolat pure drive gt for some time but I switched recently and now I have been using the wilson blx pro staff six one 90 for about a year. I am left handed and have a one-handed backhand. I play mostly from the baseline but I do move forward to put balls away, I am not really into volleys. I have been wondering, do you think that a 90 square inch head might be too difficult for the modern game, because when I come against a good baseliner and most people that I have encountered in competition use Babolat aeropro drive or pure drive, they start to push me around quite a bit, while I have won those matches, it is pretty tiring because you need to put in alot of power and pay attention to your setup, my trainer advised me to continue because it allows for good stroke development and my trainer likes stiffer rackets. I dont find a 90 square inch head unplayable and I really like the feel the blx offers when you hit the center of the racket as well, so do you think that I should continue to use the 90 competitive? Or is it too much for the modern game? Because I come against those 14-15 year old kids who all use those 100 square inch rackets, most that I encountered use Babolat, and it can get pretty tough.(but not too tough)
