M Fil 200 2006 vs M fil 300

[jdub486]

So I just bought two new M Fil 200 2006's, and with some lead I am pretty happy with them. Then today I looked at the specs of the M fil 300 and they look good too, it is supposedly a little more flexible. Wondering if anyone has compared the two frames. Thanks.

Yes. I like both the 200 and 300, although they are not suited for my game. I didn't feel like the ball had any weight to the shot. I settled for a Yonex, which is really a very, very good racquet for me. If I had to choose a "new" racquet.... Wilson Blade with 16x19 (if only) would be the "perfect" frame.

I use the standard M-Fil 200 (not 2006) and have hit with the M Fil 300. I preferred the 200 because it swung heavier than the 300. (Although I believe the 300 has a higher swingweight than the 2006 version of the M-Fil 200) Aside from that, the 300 is quite light, but more stable than other frames that I've tried that are of similar weight. It is a bit less stiff due to it's lower flex rating so if you want to try a racquet with more flex, give it a try. Add some lead tape like you do with your current racquet to take care of it's light weight.
