is it worth the change?

[adso1973]

Hi all,

Lately I have been playing with many top racquets, such as: mgpp, RQis 1 Tour, RDS001 mp and recently trying the RDis 100 mid.. and I really enjoy all of them.

I believe each one shine in different aspects of my game such as:
- mgpp forehand winners but can't feel confident
- RQiS I can control with my 1HBH and it feels great overall but during matches I make too many unforced errors and ball tend to land short.
- RDS001 feel easy to keep the opponent in the baseline with the top, easy to keep the ball in match, but less forehand winners and 1HBH sucks.
- RDis 100 mid great on serve, touch and feel but my forehand and backhand are less aggressive and have less weight.

.. this means that when I choose one of them I sacrifice one aspect of my game..

I have tried to adapt to each one of them and one I liked the less (RDS001 mp) is the one more effect on results as I make less unforced errors- but also less winners.

These days I'm tempted to move to another frame trying to get all the things I like on these racquets in a single one.. and I was thinking in the Volkl C10 Pro or the RDS002 T... my question is does it worth the change?

In the meantime I will keep on trying the RDis 100 mid as I really like the feel.

I suggest you to get the one you sacrifice the least (either Microgel Prestige or the RDis 100 Mid), then lead it up so it can meet your own expectations. Or, you can just keep hitting with them and get used to them later on.

Pick one racket and stick with it. No need to buy another new racket. That will probably just give you another option to add to the mix. The rackets you have are perfectly fine and you probably won't find one perfect racket.

maybe you can try to practice your weaker shots, that way you dont need to say that the racquet doesnt help on certain part of your game.

all the racquets that you are mentioning have like the same specs so dont try to practice a lot more on your shots.

yes, yes, yes, I know, and I've been done it, I have been practicing my 1HBH with the RDS, I've been trying to get confident with the Prestige and played long time with the RQis 1 tour and in practice every shot feel great with this one, just when I play a match I can't find a way to play the game, I need to go for winners, thus I make too many unforced errors, when I try to keep the ball in play my shot seems to be too easy to handle and I get attacked, is like there is no middle point.. attack or defend..

The only one I'm still in the initial phase is the RDis 100 mid..

Finally, I'm also curious about Volkl frames!
