Frame/Head size and age correlation - please VOTE in this poll and make a comment :)

[ClubHoUno]

I often wonder how frame/head size in a racket and age corresponds to each other and therefore I'm making this poll to check it out

Please vote and feel free to post a comment about WHY you prefer the frame size, you play with most of the time.

I realize some of us have different rackets in our bags with different frame size - but we all have one frame size we prefer over the other in my view.

I have 4 Wilson 95 SQ" frames in my bag and 4 Head 98 SQ" frames and I must say, that if I'd have to choose, I'd probably still prefer the 95 SQ" frame size.

But the 98 SQ" frame size is a new comer in my bag, and maybe it will grow on me in the long run...who knows

For now my favorite is the 95 SQ" frame size !

Keep the votes coming in

 

[JediMindTrick]

Head 98 sq" are more like 95 sq".

 

[vndesu]

right now i use a n90,k90 and fxp prestige.

 

[skierpaul]

I'm 34 and play with a 81 sq/in racket. Wasn't an option.

 

[ClubHoUno]

Head 98 sq" are more like 95 sq".

Maybe this is why I like the Prestige Pro so much then

Sorry, only 10 poll choices available. I had to make the poll choices within this limit.

 

[LanEvo]

im 16 with a 98 in sq mfil 300 tho i have an rds mid also

 

[mrw]

Age 54

I tend to like racquets in the <93 size

 

[beedlejuice22]

im 14 and i play with a 100 sq in racket. but i dont think this should be listed under oversized. 100 is still a midplus. anything 102 and over i would consider oversized

 

[[d]ragon]

^^^ yea, 100 isnt oversize. i believe 106 and up is oversize. and 95 kinda blurs inbetween midplus and midsize

 

[Nitro]

I would tend to agree. Fewer racquets are being made today with sub 90 sq in heads so I think 90-95 is more midplus.

 

[TennisProdigy]

I use a 98 because babolat doesn't have anything under that... yet.

 

[hyogen]

^^^ yea, 100 isnt oversize. i believe 106 and up is oversize. and 95 kinda blurs inbetween midplus and midsize

for some reason i think i've seen your dragon avatar picture before. where did you get it from? is it your original drawing? have you posted it up somewhere else?

 

[lilpin0y]

I'm a teenager and prefer a mid+ sized frame - 95-98 SQ"

And thank God! I was using a 121SQ" head flexpoint 10 and i borrowed my friend's 98 MG radical and k-95 and i saw a large improvement on my spins

 

[Djokovicfan4life]

I prefer mid plus frames myself.

 

[Lendl and Federer Fan]

I'm 20-35 years old and prefer a mid sized frame - 85-93 SQ"

 

[Anton]

Teenagers generally have lower skill and less strength - they will prefer lighter frames bigger heads.

 

[Tempest344]

19, 95-98 SQ"
LM Radical Mid Plus

 

[ClubHoUno]

I would also think so, but the teenagers in here at the TW Forum don't seem to like oversize racket heads....according to the votes from them so far

ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. i dont know why you would assume this lol.

The Aero Storm is actually 95. Same size as the MG Prestige mid+.

 

[nickb]

18 + 98

95-100" works for me. (Voted 95-98", close enough)

Anything larger than that starts to feel a bit "granny".

 

[origmarm]

28 and 95

Et oui...

 

[l_gonzalez]

21 and 100.

 

[VikingSamurai]

33 and 95.......

 

[Anton]

ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. i dont know why you would assume this lol.

I'm not sure what exactly you can disagree with - can you disagree that people between 20 and 50 are generally stronger?

Can you disagree that stronger people generally like heavier rackets?

Are you going to say that heavier frames usually don't have smaller head size?

 

[eyeball]

35 and 100

 

[srvnvly]

I have moved toward the 100 sp in frame size in the last few years, starting with the Wilson HPS 5.1 Surge X to the Babolat PDC and now to my Beckers: V1 and the new Becker Pro. In my head I can still play with the Wilson PS 85 sq in racquet, but realistically, I am good with the sticks I have. I will be 44 this year and play at a 4.0 level.

 

[iplaybetter]

i use the 335 wiht is 97 or 98 but i like to screw around with mids, and hit will 100's which are still mid+'s

 

[gsquicksilver]

i'm 29 and i play with ps85's, max200g's, and prestige classics

this is a ridiculous comment. most teenagers use a 95-100 sq. inch headsize that weighs aorund 11-11.5. older people (55+) are much more likely to use a light, larger racket because they are not as strong as they used to be.

yes i just think the comment about strength was wrong. teenagers are strong not weak.

Of course...because obviously there are only teenagers and old people.

How so?

You telling me an average 30 year old is not stronger then your average 16 year old? nonsence

 

[In)SpiRe]

Its weird though, I actually prefer a 93-95 frame size. But will play with 98-100 if I feel like it. I'm using a 95 right now though.

 

[crawl4]

im 16 and look at sig :grin:

 

[beedlejuice22]

im 14 and im a tournament player. most of the time i get beaten by kids that are huge and can hit the **** out of the ball. they beat me pretty easily and im not too weak myself. so imagine how big these kids can be. so dont try to tell me that teenagers are weak and like, light, huge rackets, because they dont. i cant remember the last time i saw a kid my age with a racket that was under 11 oz. and over 100 sq. inches. teenagers are in no way weak, im sure they are much stronger than a lot of older people.

 

[beedlejuice22]

maybe kids around 8-12 would prefer lighter, larger frames but teenagers don't, as is shown in the survey.

36 years old 98" Vokl Tour 10 MP. Came down to a 98 from an oversized LM Radical Flexpoint and really seem to be getting better control.

Not necessarily. I know a few people who are terrible and use mid size frames but it boggles my mind on why they do. However its there choice and decision.

For me I use a 100 square inch racquet which is considered a mid+ and not an oversize.
