Big sweetspot racquets?

Dunlops (usually) have regular size or smallish sweet spots (aerogel line included) but the sweet is SWEET
.Big sweet area (for their respective head sizes) rackets I've used include Head LM Instinct/Radical, Volkl Tour 10 MP & DNX 10 mid, Fischer MSpeed Pro 1, Yonex RD 7. The pure drive had a decently sized sweet spot as well.
Never played an O3 racket, but I suppose those should be in this category as well.

Babolat drives have good sweetpots, dunlops have std, the yonex racquets have the largest and best feeling of the bunch though.

Agreed. I have played four different Yonex frames in the past year. I was impressed with all but one, which may have just been a personal preference. I wish I had "discovered" Yonex years ago. They have an uncanny balance, if you know what I mean--not HH or HL but balance as in very responsive, uniform, the old cliche "extension of my hand," and so on. Good luck. :smile:

This suggestion, as well as all suggesting Babolats, unless we're discussing the Pure Storm series, are not really players racquets.
Those both have fairly large sweetspots IMHO. But if you hit higher in the stringbed, you might want to take a look at the Head Flexpoint Prestige MP.

POG OS: as long as you make contact with the stringbed, the ball will go over, or at least that's how I feel.

You did say players oriented, but I don't think it's that hard to hit with. My Prestiges are spot on in weight BTW.
i wouldnt really consider the pure storm to be player's rackets...i'd consider the PDR and the storm tour to be the only rackets to be "player oriented"
as for the flexpoint prestige mp, it's not really demanding but there are other rackets out there w/ larger sweetspots..

Yep, I tried out some of the Speedports and O3's, and they have big sweetspots. And, I heard Yonex has a big sweet spot, too, because of the head shape. I tried my friend's Babolat, and the sweetspot was pretty big, also.

huge sweet spot, especially at 55 lbs and down. depends on the string though.

Good point. For some reason most people around here think only a 12+ once stick can be considered a "players racquet". What about all the WTA pro's who play a 11 oz stick? I know of a couple 5.5 players that play with a 10 oz granny stick, so weight has nothing to do with it.

Not only that, look at all the ATP men using babs
o3/speedport racquets dont really have a "big" sweet spot
the holes in the frame reduce friction that grommets normally exert, thus, the strings stretch and have more mobility.
coupled with the dampened feel.. it feels the same virtually wherever you hit it on the stringbed, but it doesnt produce the same ball

are the babolats sweetspots bigger than the liquidmetals?

Read the promo on the Pro Supex MP3 Uniflex. I use it and it's pretty much true. The sweetspot for a 95" racket is huge, plus, it's a little high in the racket face, so you get a lot of leverage on serves. The only problem I've had at all is catching the frame sometimes when really loading up on topspin. If you're used to a midsize racket, it shouldn't be any problem.
