The new O3 Speedport white pro looks like it would be pretty good for spin...

because of the high balance?
just checked their website. 310 gram unstrung and balance is 32.0 cm
great stick for me unfortunately they got ridiculous holes.

I can't believe that people still believe that the frame will make such a difference regarding spin. A good player can generate good amounts of spin with any racket.

thats true, ive always been a spin freak, it just matters how much effort you put into the racket.

If you attempt to destroy their wet dream, they will attack you with such furiosity like you've never seen before.
Ain't that the truth. Pipe dreams die hard on this board. I'm am constantly amazed at how much people on this board give credit to their equipment and how little credit they give themselves. At the same time I am very amused by it. I actually lol reading this board. Can't return serve? Going out and practicing or taking instruction is absolutely out of the question. All you have to do is buy the racquet that 'returns serves well'. Can't hit spin? Of course it's not your fault, you just don't have the racquet that 'hits spin well'. And did you know that there actually are racquets that hit one handed backhands better--all by themselves?! You are not a crappy player, you just don't have the right equipment. Practice, match play, coaching, etc, have nothing to do with it. I'm just gobsmacked when I read these kind of posts. How you hit is more important than what you hit with. Just as a player who has a heavy topspin forehand won't find his forehand suddenly turning into a flat one if he switched to a different racquet, a player who has trouble generating spin won't magically find he is able to do so just by switching to another racquet. Give yourselves some credit--it's you that determines how you hit, not your racquet. The top 10 players in the world each use a different racquet. There is no magic racquet that will all by itself turn you into a better player.

Obviously a good player will be able to generate a good amount of spin with any racket-- but that does not mean that a racket cannot enhance the amount of spin hit, or make it easier to access. The OP wasn't saying "i need a magical racket to help me hit more spin" but asking what racket would allow easier access to spin.
Try and tell me generating spin with any prestige mid is as easy as the pure drive.

if we were in lala land
wanted densely strung rackets, so try again.
but honestly, i can get about the same amount of spin from both of those rackets.

The question is not whether you can get the same amount of spin, I would argue that yes, even I could get the same amount of spin from both rackets.
the question is does one of these rackets create spin easier?
In that case, the same swing with a pure drive is likely to produce more spin than with a prestige mid.

me is bored please actually read the post. I did not say the same amount of spin could not be generated, but it is easier with some rackets then others.
Also, i was not recommending the pure drive, i was just making a point to the people bashing the OP.

because i do see a difference between spingeneration and stick, just from my own experience.

i think equipment still matters aside from sound technique ...
hitting a topspin forehand with two different racquets of different weights, string pattern and balance will produce different spin qualities if you would use the same technique for both...
as to the topic...the k95 18x20 is quite spinny...
