Extended length racket handle or normal?

[anbu4ever11]

alright so ive narrowed my search of a racket to stick with to between the tecnifibre tfight 320 XL or 335.The biggest difference to me i think will be the handle length.i have all summer and winter to get used to the extended if i so choose that,but is it really worth it or do i just stick with the normal and go for something heavier like the 335.im using a babolat pst right now and found besides how well it plays i like how the handle seemed larger then the apdc i was using before.so my overall question is should i try makin the switch or just stick to the norm?oh and have any of u guys used the tfight 320 XL?there arent many reviews on it.if i can demo i will but i have to keep in mind the 320 XL may seem different due to the handle length.thanks

I recently switched to the PD + and the extra 1/2 inch is a real boon; especially on serving. I play the baseline all the time and again the plus sized babolat pure drive is a grade above the standard size. the advantage of an extended racket are too good to pass up.

depends on your play style.
extended rackets have more "leverage" so they generally improve serves and groundstrokes.
extended rackets are also less maneuverable, so they're not as good at net.

ah i see,well im not a serve and volley type of player overall,i mean i am an all courter and do switch it up but ill only go fully to the net when i think its time.more baseline though however.so i still think extended is what im going for.

Well...Since you are more of a baseliner, I tihnk you should go with the extended.
