so as father time marches on conditions occur, for me saw orthopedics ,well renowned in hip conditions, stated hip with arthritis but not bad enough for replacement. so issue is my mobility is impaired, not looking for hip replacement. What do you play testers think is the BEST RACQUET for monster serve and then put away next shot. if find such a beast and can implement this tactic( fully aware I have to execute ) this will extend my career ( I really do enjoy it

Blade Pro V8 or a Bab? I think @socallefty reccomends Pure Strike or VS

Prince Response 97.

Edit: misread the original post at first. In your situation, probably the Bubba or maybe Prince O3 Legacy 110 .

If you are referring to me, I was not joking or making a joke. That racket is serious power. Take a look and read the reviews from posters. I watched some fellas smoke people half their age at state.


Comments: I played with the Prince Thunderbolt until about a year and a half ago. The extra length on the Bubba 137 was just what I was looking for. I string at 65 pounds to keep the control. My game has risen with this racquet. My senior tri-level team won the Southern Sectionals last year. Whenever I am playing and hit a great shot, you will hear someone on the other courts yell out Bubba.

I would say TFight 305 in general, but for a player with impaired mobility it may not fit the bill.
I would rather recommend this one
(avoid playing near an airport to prevent the risk of shooting down a plane with that bazooka)

I recommend to read the customer reviews for that Bubba stick. Funniest reviews ever and they almost convinced me to buy one.
Love this one :
« This racquet is like the city of Los Angeles. It seems defectively big, but it has a heart for those who trust it. »
There is also someone who emphasizes that it may not fit in your regular tennis bag, but it will fit in a yoga bag.
I also like TW warning that you need to order 2 sets of strings. What a crazy racquet!

Sorry for the delayed response. I will say for me I am pretty content with the EZONE 98+, as I find plenty of put away power, but the 98 head and the feel gives me some control and precision. I also find the the Pure Aero Plus a great option, and really like the update and feel of the 2023 version. The racquet doesn't have to be extended, but for me I like that added reach and easy power I get on first serves and forehands. It can obviously vary on what works best for each player, but those two are a couple of my favorites.

Troy, TW
