I've always believed the old saying that a player should use the heaviest racquet they can handle.
I use the RF97 Auto, and have a little lead tape at 2 and 10. I don't ever feel like it's too heavy, but I have noticed that I have by far the heaviest set up of anyone I play with. Most people are using something along the lines of a stock blade or pure strike/drive/aero, etc.
I wonder sometimes if I'm using somewhat old/obsolete mindset and should use a lighter frame. I guess the pros use quite heavy frames, but I've even heard that some of the younger guys are going to lighter racquets with less head light balance.
