Help with a racquet for my dad

[fsebak]

Heya all! Im new in this forum. I've been looking for some help to buy a new racquet for my dad. He bought like 2 or 3 years ago a Prince O3 Speedport gold, and thats the racquet he's been using for a while, like 2 months ago I bought a Wilson K Blade Team for me and he started to tell me that he want's to buy a new racquet for him, because his old racquet pop's a lot on the ball and he's more into a control racquet, also he said that he want's a racquet with a small headsize (near 100 sq. inch). That being said, I guess that I must say that he is 68 years old but he is in good form and physical condition, he likes to play with a lot of slices and a lot of spin on service.

I would like him to buy a Wilson or Babolat racquet, and I've been looking at TW store and found this racquets:

Wilson BLX Bold

Wilson K Factor KTour TeamFX

Wilson K Factor KBold

Babolat AeroPro Drive Cortex

Which of these racquets will you recommend him to buy?? If you guys have any other racquet that can recommend me I would really appreciate!

Thx a lot for your help!

Out of what you mentioned I would say the Babalot. Racquets I see the older members use at my club are Wilson K Factor KSix Two and Dunlop Aerogel 4D 500
The one I would recommend the most for control is the Head MicroGEL Radical Oversize. Head's headsizes are smaller than stated so it is closer to a 104 like your K Blade Team. If your dad likes your K Blade team there is a good chance he will like the Radical OS.

Thx for the reply! Yeah, he said the racquet KBlade Team feels great, but he doesn't feel comfortable at the net with that racquet. I've read about the Head Microgel and seems great, but he said that he wanted to go Babolat or Wilson. Im gonna show him the microgel to see what he thinks about.
