looking for a raquet advice

[stig4863]

Hi all. I'm new here.
I've played tennis for quite a while (over 9 years), but always played with Babolat Pure Drive. As of right now I still use Pure Drive Plus Cortex. As you know, this racquet is about 6 years old now. I feel that I could get more feedback from other frames as well. I'm a little tired of the current one.

I'm 24 y.o., 6'1'', 200lb, playing at 4.0-4.5 level.
Two handed backhand, but sometimes use one-handed as well, baseline hitter with not too much spin, using continental to eastern grip.
75+/-5 mph serve. I play recreational tennis, sometimes some matches. Used to play as a junior, but education got in the way there.

From what I tried, I liked Head Flexpoint, but it's not being manufactured any longer. I also played with Youtek Speed Lite, but it was too light. I also liked PD Roddick GT +, but it was hard to control the depth and balls were going out too much - but that might be just string it came with.

Tomorrow I will try out the Ne PD + and PD Roddick + and could share with results.

What you guys would recommend that some of you used and liked that fits into profile?

Thanks in advance

From your description I'd seriously recommend Head IG Radical Pro

Try the new Pure Drive. A major improvement on previous versions. If you are used to that racquet it should'nt be much of a change for you.

Tried it today. Had both - PD and PD Roddick. Didn't really like Roddick, couldn't control the depth properly, maybe just because I'm used to my balance and weight...

Will give it more time though, I got both as a demo
