70 in head, standard length (Two reasons. One, this would be a great practice racquet; you go out, hit with it, and when you stop framing balls, you can really use anything. Two, as a volleyer, the ability to consistently hit the sweetspot of a racquet is invaluable, and if I can use a 70 in head without framing it, you've got that down.)
18 mm beam, 65 flex (The 18 mm is to back up the long throat-- even with a notably long pallet, the throat would be quite lengthy. The 65 flex is an effort to make it stiff enough to volley with, but soft enough that it won't bugger your arm.)
12 oz strung, even balance (This really sets up, to me, a decent customising stick. The 12 oz, obviously a lot of changes would make it heavy, but for me, that's the ideal weight to start with, unless you want it to be completely your own, and leave no weighting to the manufacturer.)
18*19 pattern (This is, to me, a compromise between a very tight pattern and a medium pattern. As Head uses it, I decided it would not be taboo to mention)
100% graphite (All this craziness with hypernanoboo is too confusing for me. Just, go back to what works, and if someone else finds something better, good on them.)
As far as technologies go:
- "Anti-Torosion Bar" (Read: Crossbar. Not only an aesthetic choice, but given all the rumors about increased stability...)
- Yonex Isometric shape (Honestly, if Yonex has been sticking with it since their move over to graphite, it must do something right.)
- VEngine throat (This is a racquetball tech that I know of from my father [EForce LongString], but Volkl made a similar one in tennis. It increases deflection of the main strings, increasing power. Makes sense.)
- Prince Grip Shape (Regardless of player grip, it's the same size!)
- Babolat Woofer (It looks cool, man, and I gotta admit that I'm going for that, at this point.)
As far as a paintjob, I'd want it to have the same basic design styling as the Volkl BB10.
