Differences between Kennex Type C 98 and Redondo

[Original 6.0]

Been playing with the Type C midplus for awhile now and as I find it a VERY interesting racquet in all areas I was wondering how the Redondo feels compared to it - in terms of flex, control, power and feel. Any inputs on the Redondo vs Type C?

6.0, I've never played with the original but I have seen a lot of posts on this board regarding a comparison. I'm usually not the one to say "SEARCH OR YOU WILL BE KILLED" so I will say it like this..."seek and ye shall find."

For instance, page two in this thread http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=82778&page=2&highlight=redondo has a nice comparison by Southpaw. Check it out.

Shall do...

While I'm going thru all this informative stuff, can you tell me how you're performing on serve with your 98 Redondo juice?
Because one aspect with the Type C that I really seem to dig lies in the serve department, don't know why but I serve LASERS with this one... Oh did I mention that the serve is the weak part of my game?

You find the "C" interesting? Is that good or bad? IMO, the silver "C" (both 93 and 98) are very good, all around performers with old-school feel...

Some definitions for interesting here:

1. arousing curiosity or attention: arousing curiosity, attracting or holding attention, or provoking thought

2. not boring: enjoyable because of being varied, challenging, stimulating, or exciting

In my case, I'm picking the second option... the Type C is nothing short but awesome... but now I'm interested in a close comparison, how different does the 100% graphite Redondo feel and play? Alone the composition should affect the playability in one way or the other; plus it's flexier, which should hint to a more control oriented frame... so who has tried out both??? Anyone?

6.0, for me the Redondo is a solid serving frame. I say solid because it doesn't WOW me but it hasn't disappointed me in any way. My serve is actually the strongest part of my game (well second to my forehand) because I can place the ball where I want and add some nasty kick to it as well. I have had sticks that promote my kick serve and I have had some sticks that help me serve flat bombs but the Redondo does both for me with no problems.
