Favorite racquet by area of game

[beltsman]

Just curious, what is your favorite racquet for specific parts of your game?

First serve: Pure Strike Project One7 - effortless flat bombs
Second serve: PCG 100 - hit my best kickers with this
Forehand: Tough one. This is my main criteria. Volkl Super-G 8 315 I think. Graphene XT Extreme Pro is up there, as is the 360 Speed MP.
Backhand: 360 Speed MP
Slices: Spalding ATP Tour 200 (I think that was the name?). It had INSANE slice and control. Next up would be the 2014 Pro Staff 90.
Net: I do well with my 360 Speed MP.
Defense: Not sure.
Topspin: Graphene XT Extreme Pro. Insane spin.
Flat: I don't play very flat so I can't say.
Touch: 2014 Pro Staff 90

First serve: PS85
Second serve: K90
Forehand: K90
Backhand: RF97
Slices: K90
Net: PS85
Defense: RF97
Topspin: K90
Flat: Prestige classic
Touch: K90

PS85 is still the best serve and volley racquet I’ve ever used, with the K90 getting a slight edge for kick serves. I’m still playing from my personal old K90 stock, but when I tried out the RF97 I noticed everything was more “automatic” which helped on defense and my OHBH. Prestige classic is just a racquet everyone should hit with at least once, amazing flat shots and precision.
