H-Tour?

[S@xAngel]

Hi! I'm a junior at tennis (in age) but im very good for the 2 years i have played
all this time ive played with a wilson prostaff, but now i need to get a new raquet, and the h-Tour really has caught my eye... ( by the way, i can get it for £30, thats about 50 bucks to u americans, i think, because it is on sale )
i was thinking, is it a good raquet? thanx for ur help

I used to play with an H-Tour, although from what I understand, it is nothing like a Prostaff. A PS (ncode, 6.1, 6.0) is more than 7 points headlight and more than 11.5 oz. An H-Tour is a lightweight (10 oz.) even balance (head-heavy once strung) racket. It really depends on what you're looking for in a racket. Is your current PS too heavy for you?

I found the H-Tour to be too light, and it felt really dead. It wasn't because of the strings. I tried the 105, but I haven't tried the 95. Alot of kids at my school use the H Tour, but it just didn't fit me well. Are you trying to find a racquet similiar to your PS? What sort of style do you play?

i dont think the h-Tour95 is one of Wilsons better efforts. dead is a good description...stiff and harsh and uncomfortable, and a small sweetspot.

well, thanks for ur suggestions, i played with it today ( my mates one ) and ur rite, it does feel dead... the only other thing is that it isn't very gd at spins... otherwise i like it alot!

wow. try the RDX 500 or Pro Staff 95. much better. unless your getting the H-Tour for a (really) good price, try demo-ing these and perhaps other sticks as well before you buy.

H tour isnt a bad racquet...

I would just add maybe 3/4 ounce to the handle and it should work pretty well.
