Dunlop AG 200 16x19 compared to Volkl PB10 mid?

[Dez]

Hi,

One of my buddies asked me to let him hit with my PB10mid (16x19), I did and he loved it! He enjoyed the feel, control, stability, comfort and power level of the PB10 but found it was a little too heavy for him and he tired after about a set and a half.
He asked me how I thought the AG200 16x19 compared to the PB10 mid?
It's supposed to be a very Stable and comfortable control racket that weighs less than the PB10mid. I've never hit with the AG200 so I couldn't answer and decided to do some Searching on TT, unfortunately I haven't found any real comparisons.
Could anybody say how these compare? Similarities/differences?

Thanks for your help.

I cant exactly make a comparison 'per se',....since i've never used the PB10,.....however i have two AG200 (18x20s),...they are my best of my many racquets,.....best feel,...comfort,...control,....balance,.....it all comes together for me in this racquet,...

I demoed the 200 and 200 tour vs the PB 10 mid a couple of months ago and chose the latter, with which I've been playing since.

I found both Dunlops fine racquets but the 200 tour was just a bit heavier than I wanted. I would say the the 200 and the PB 10 are similar in certain respects: they're in the same swing weight and head size ball park; the 200 is just a tad stiffer.

I thought both the 200 and the PB 10 were fine for groundies--good feel, power and control. I liked the slightly more rectangular grip of the PB 10 a bit better and also its more open 16x19 pattern gave me a bit more access to spin. Both were fine serving and volleying sticks; I got good pace and placement with both on my serves and both were very maneuverable at the net.

In short both are very capable racquets and I could easily see one person preferring one over the other. I'd definitely recommend demoing both together.

^ Thanks for the feedback.
I was referring to the AG200 16x19 (Euro version) which is a little lighter and has the same 16x19 string pattern as the PB10 mid. In any case it looks like it could be a very good alternative.
