Chris: Your favorite current LIGHTER frame?

Chris,

I'm just curious what LIGHTER frame you're enjoying the most right now (ie, something around 11 - 11.5oz, around 310 SW). I know you gravitate towards the heavier frames, but are there any lighter ones that are REALLY standing out for you?

Sorry for the late response.

I have been hitting the Organix 7 295 a lot recently. I really like that racquet for doubles play as I can hit some big forehand returns and like its maneuverability at net. It feels very solid for its weight. I have also been playing around with the weight/balance of that racquet and currently have one heavily tail weighted and it plays great. We added lead to the handle and a leather grip and a little lead at 10 & 2.

Another great playing stick we are currently testing is the new V1 Pro. It's not quite as powerful as the 7, but man does it have great feel.

I was also really surprised at how much I liked the AeroPro Drive Plus when we tested it. I'm not usually a fan of extended length racquets but felt very dialed in with that one. I was getting great spin and pace out of it. I really enjoyed the ability to go from complete defense to powerful offense with one swing of that racquet. Lots of fun!

If you want a very precise and controlled feeling racquet that just gets under your weight limit, the Blade 98 18x20 is a great way to go. It is very fast feeling which makes it easy to generate spin and I love the crisp and precise feel it offers.

Hope that helps,
Chris, TW
