Estusa Racquets: what are the differences?

[AgassiIAint]

I've noticed some people here talking about the Estusa racquets. I'm probably not good enough to handle one of these heavy racquets but I looked at them anyway. Can someone tell me the play differences between the three Estusas found here at Tennis Warehouse (Power Beam, Power Beam Pro, Power Beam Braided)?

Thank you.

I've never used them but I follow the posts because I'm may buy one , but I think people may be overlooking the power beam which is lighter than the pro and less headlight than the braided. I've owned a 12.1 oz 10 pt head light racket(ti-50) and it was to light in the head and most people reporting on the braided talk about adding head weight so just maybe the power beam is the sweet spot but is overlooked due to the braided review.

I liked the Power Beam better than than Pro or Braided. It felt more solid than the Braided and more maneuverable than the Pro while being flexible. I think it's the best of the three. This may be my next rac. also.

I've been playing the PBB for about 5-6 months now. I demoed it with the Power Beam last September for a week. I concluded the PBB was better for me across the board, although volleys were pretty much a push. One thing that irritates me is when people look at TW's posted specs and make declarative statements about sticks they've never taken into battle.

The PBB is one. It may be stiffer than than the Power Beam Pro -- probably is -- but I don't know. I liked the PBB so much I never demoed the PBP. The PBB plays much more flexible than 67, or whatever that means.

The Prestige line is another. I have a Prestige Classic 600 and an i.Prestige. To me, the i.P is relatively stiff, far more than many other sticks with higher RDC ratings.

Then there's the Volkls ... I have a C-10 Pro, perhaps the softest, floppiest stick I've ever hit with. It's ludicrous to think that this banana is stiffer than the i.P ... and it's far, far more flexible than the Tour 10 MP, regardless of what the published stats may say.
