Chris: Need your help, I'm moving on from a Volkl C10 Pro

[donnayblack99]

Chris, I loved the C10 Pro for many years, but I now need something a little lighter (looking at low to mid 11oz range) with the same power, comfort and thin beamed, characteristics that I get with the C10 Pro. I've demo'd the following:
Blade 98 16/19, DR98, and Graphene XT Radical Pro. Unfortunately, I didn't gel with any of them. The Blade felt head heavy and nothing special, the DR98 felt too clunky and mushy for my one handed backhand, and the Graphene XT Radical Pro felt the best of the three but was a little too stiff... and I'm worried about the long term on my shoulder and elbow with the XT. But the XT is a great deal for the price right now!

Can you recommend anything else in the low/mid 11oz player range that will give me comfort and pop... maybe the new Yonex VCORE 97 310 or a thin beamed Prince frame?

Thanks for the help in advance.

These would be on my list of racquets to demo and work through based on your criteria:
Volkl V-Sense V1 Pro (keeps you in brand and is built exactly for the player seeking something lighter and with more pop than a traditional player's racquet)
