help needed

[tj..]

hi everyone, i am about to buy a new racquet and i dont have the option to demo the racquets before buying as i live in India...

my playing style is forehand topspin and one handed backhand (not perfect)...flat service...mostly baseline offensive game...from past few weeks i am having pain in my wrist and elbow...presently i am using head ticlassic midplus and i want to change to light weight racquet...

i narrowed down to babolat pure drive z lite 2014(150$) and yonex ezone Ai 100 lite(150$)...
both yonex and babolat are new to me...which one is better??any other suggestions would be helpful...

aeropro lite gt 2013 costs $250 here in India..

Going to a lighter racquet will give your wrist and elbow more shock and vibration than a heavier one. I would string at a lower tension or use a softer type of string in your present racquet.

Prince 03 Red or White.

Comfortable to use, light-ish without being too light, stable, good for baseline bashing as well as rare ventures to the net.

Like Muppet says, you don't want to go too light if youre having wrist and elbow pain. I know that sounds weird, but it just means that with a bit more weight in the racquet, it will help prevent your wrist and arm having to provide all the stability.

If you are to get a Pure Drive, try not to get the Lite version because it's less stable and puts more stress on your wrist/elbow. Get the regular Pure Drive and see how you like it , or Aeropro Drive.
