Looking for new racquet. Current racquet - Fischer pro tour ft

[tdnxxx444]

I've been playing with a Fischer pro tour ft for awhile now and love it. I've tried babolat aero and didn't really like it. Looking for another racquet now. Only thing I don't like about my Fischer is I sometimes get mishits and frame hits. Any recommendations?

Something from Pacific

Remember that your Fischer racquet is 27.25 inch, so something similar lenghtwise?

Thanks guys!

The specs for your Fischer, so you can compare current frames to it:
Fischer Pro Tour FT

I thought of at first, the ProKennex Kinetic 7G - it's extended length (27.5" vs your Fischer's 27.4"), and it offers a 16x20 string pattern like your Fischer. but it does swing heavier than it. Truthfully though, I preferred the standard length 5G - the 7G felt a little sluggish in comparison, and the 5G which was a bit too light, was perfect for me with a little lead tape. In any case, they're both comfortable racquets to use. I've not hit with the Pro Tour FT, but the consensus is that it's a comfortable racquet - racquets with the ProKennex Kinetic system have that in spades.

But wait! How about the ProKennex Ki 5? I hit with a previous gen years ago and liked it - but don't remember much in detail. But it's almost a dead ringer for the Pro Tour FT visually with a very similar cosmetic.

Sorry guys, it's actually the "Fischer Pro Tour FT Air carbon TI" that I play with. It's a red, black, and white frame. Not sure if that changes things or not.

I was just about to ask if it was the black/red version or the black/yellow one:

I used the black/red one...18 years ago? Of all the Fischers I've used over the years, this was the only one I did NOT like. Just never got going with it.

As others have said, its 27.4in long, so you'll likely want to stick with something extended. Check out the Dunlop CX200+, or the VCORE 98+ (my current frame). Also, the 2020 Yonex EZONE 98+ was just released, but the standard length version was very comfortable to hit with (I'm assuming the '+' is the same frame but 1/2" longer).

Thanks McLovin! Is there another Fischer you recommend? I think I might want to try to demo another Fischer also.

Unfortunately, finding a new Fischer can be problematic given they’ve long since sold their racquet business to Pacific, and Pacific no longer has a presence in the US.

But...lucky for you, there’s @michael valek, our resident Pacific contact from across the pond.

Your best bet is the X Tour 97 (21/22mm beam, 16x20 pattern). It’s not extended, but michael can get you replacement pallets that are longer if you want to stay w/ 27.4.

He may still have access to some ‘new old stock’ Fischers (I’ve bought a few from him in the past).

Thanks again for the insight McLovin! I'll let you guys know how it goes!

I used to play with the yellow/green/black Fischer M Pro 98 (which I still have and up for sale) but i moved to the wilson blade 98 v718x20 and it was pretty good but I am now moving to the Yonex Ezone 2020. I have my Fischers and Blades up for sale.
