Easier to Wield for 3 Sets - Pres. Pro, Orgnx. 10, or 6.1 95?

[TripleB]

Which racquet would be the easiest to use over 3 long sets of 4.0/4.5 singles: Head YT IG Prestige Pro, Volkl Organix 10 325, or Wilson BLX Six.One 95 16x18?

I'm going to be demoing quite a few racquets in the 11.3 to 11. 6 ounce range and want to throw one heavy body racquet in there just as a comparison.

Thanks.

I find how heavy a racquet is in the head to be more significant than overall weight when comes to your arm getting tired over a long match. For instance, The Volkl PB 10 mid is over 12 ounces and 10 points headlight and I feel the racquet is easier to use over a long match than some of the other player sticks that are quite a bet lighter but more head heavy.

O10 325 has low swing weight and static weight. Also, good vibration dampening.

Interesting point/consideration.

Totally agree. I've tried some 11.3 ounce frames that were only 2 or 3 points head light (Blade 98 comes to mind) that felt like a beast to swing compared to some 12 ounce racquets that were 8 or 9 points head light.

One thing I also think about is the power level of the racquet. Ie: how hard am I needing to swing to get the depth on my groundstrokes or the power on my serve that I want? Having to swing harder is also going to takes it's toll on the muscles.

Thanks for all the input so far.

I've tried the prestige and the 6.1 and they are both pretty easy to wield over three sets but I'd say the prestige is a tad easier than the 6.1 to use that long but only slightly. Just my thoughts

Thanks for that input. Of the two, which one do you think offered the best combination of spin, power, and control?

BBB, correct me if I'm wrong but you were zeroing in on PDs and APDs a few weeks ago. Now you're looking at sticks at the other extreme.

Unless you're very fit, have a comfortable life, 3 hours of singles with a PP or 6.1 is going to be wearing as you get physically and mentally tired, though of the two the 6.1 is probably more physically demanding over 3 hours. Have no experience of the Volkl.

Yep, that was me. The wide beam racquets are just too much of a stretch for me...someone who grew up playing with the T2000, PS 85, F200, POG mid, Radicals, etc. Even when they feel solid they don't feel solid

I'm still trying out many of the 'lighter' demos: Pro One 16x19, Bio 400 Tour, YT IG Radical Pro, EZone Xi98, Organix 8 315, and VCore 98D...but I also wanted to through a heavy weight in there just for comparisons sake.

I've played a few tournaments with my Prestige Pro. After a few hours it's not too heavy to swing on court. Then again, I am younger, and in relatively good shape.

I preferred the 6.1, I felt the sweetspot was more forgiving and this helped me feel confident going for my shots
