I am lost, recommend a racket for me.

[Mikeplaystenniss]

I have hit with many frames the past few weeks trying to find the right one for me. I simply CAN NOT find one. For the life of me, they just all don't feel right.

I used to use Babolat PS95's for awhile and those hit well for me until one got stolen and the other cracked, so I was out of luck. Since then I've been floating around some of my rackets laying around.

First let me explain, I am a Western forehand, huge topspin ground game, I love my volleys extremely crisp, and my first serves are generally 105+ with any racket. I want a racket that I can swing out fairly hard on the ball and not be worried about the ball flying. Almost with no power to it. Generate my own pace, but the racket having tons of spin to compliment my grip.

I have tested and did not like (recently):
EXO3 Rebels (95 and 98) - couldn't whip it.
EXO3 Blacks (100) - the ball just came off the strings so fast and every ball shot to the fence for some reason.
Babolat Pure Drive GT - was alright but a bit too powerful for my taste
Babolat Pure Drive Roddick GT - same as above
Head YouTek Speed MP - couldn't control it! some just shot long. couldn't serve well with it.
Wilson 6.1 95 - couldn't serve with it, felt like a flat groundy game.

That's about it. Let me know! Thanks in advance.

Mike, you really need to get a bit of a reality check about your level.

anyway, with the exception of the EXO Rebels, you seem to have been trying some very stiff sticks.
Have you though of trying something softer like maybe a Radical or a Dunlop Bio 200?
Young guy I know, about 16 or so, good player, swears by a standard bio 200. He'a probably a little bit better than you, but not that much, and his experience ought to translate...

7 months ago. I know my level now, and I posted that looking for old opinion to compare to myself now. I know how I can play as of now. I'll upload a new video soon.

ok, well, I hit the thing pretty hard, and I used to use the dunlops, loved them.

I also rate the HEAD Radicals, especially if you like to take a pretty big swing...

you might like the Yonex 89T, as well..

My friends got some radicals, I'll try his. Thanks!
Have you tried the Dunlop Biomimetic series?

 

[Timbo's hopeless slice]

yes, i was a dunlop sposored player, hence the bio 200s.

really liked them, played well with them.

if they had a weakness for me, it was probably my serve, I could never generate quite as much power as I wanted.
probably could have fixed that with lead, but moved on to my personal holy grail in the Volkls. (now, if only they were still making them, I would buy some more!)

I am intrigued by the Biomimetics and was thinking about demoing them along with a YouTek IG Prestige midplus.

My old coach was sponsored by Volkl for awhile about two-three years ago. I still have an old C10 pro he left me.
