fischer m speed 98 volkl c10 pro

[markwillplay]

I have weighted my dunlop m-fil 200 2006 to 12.1 oz (3 grams at 3 and 9 and 9 grams in the handle). I still think it jars me pretty good but I like it much better for sure. Anyway, I am now in 12 oz territory and am looking at the fischer and the volkl c10 pro. Probably going to demo but I am sure some of you folks have experience with both of them and I would love to read your opinions. I serve and volley and like to swing out fully from the baseline with fairly long strokes (1hbh). I am playing with POG OS and the Dunlop (mainly the dunlop). I find that the dunlop's volleys are a bit more directional and the serve is about the same. but even theough I have weighted the dunlop, I still like the damped feel of the pog. My dunlop weighted at 3, 9 and in the handle, I find it to be more stable at net actually than the pog. I have arm concerns as always as an x elbow surgery guy. I notice both of the sticks in the topic are more flexabble than the dunlop.

I know there is no perfect stick and I like the pog for what it is (4 stripe 87) and am working with the dunlop but I can't stand thinking that there is a stick out there that has the best qualities of both the sticks I am playing with now.

You really need to hit them both, but on feel the C10 wins, in my opinion. It is also infamously easy on the arm, which bodes well for your elbow. The Fischer feels nice and is good for the arm also, though, and the new "no tolerance" policy is nice if you want more than one matching frame. I could play happily with either, they are both high quality frames.

And then they're the Donnays . . .

don't know much about the donnays but they are priced right for sure. I just read a thread about the fischer magnetic tour and folks seem to really like that one better than the m speed. Have you hit with the donnay? Has anyone?

Keep in mind the Fischer is very, very low powered. It's very string and tension sensitive and works best within a certain range. It just didn't do it for me but it might for you.

The C10 Pro is a sweet stick and a natural for serve-and-volley. It does feel heavy after a long hit so you need to be in shape to hit it regularly and do well.
