MG Rad Pro = flexy K95?

[strike]

In my continued search for my holy grail of racquets...I am now using the K95 16x18. I really like it in almost every aspect, but think it might still be just a bit too stiff and heavy for me. Other than that it has everything I think I am looking for.

So I would like to look at racquets that are very similar, except are a little more flexible with a little less heft. But I don't want to go all the way to the KTeam - which I used prior...it ultimately I found to be too light and lacking in power/plow through/and could get pushed around too easily.

Looking at all the specs, the MG Rad Pro seems to fall into this category. Similar weight, head size, string pattern, but just a little less stiff and heavy.

Has anyone gone from the K95 to the Rad Pro and found this to be the case?

At one point i had a pair of K95 16x18s. I like poly mains and they are just too stiff on the k95 for me. I am using exclusively the MG Radical Pro now. Besides being more flexible, they have a much lower swingweight and so have a lot more room for customization. Mine came at 328g STRUNG!! Now they are up to 362g Strung, with lead at 3 and 9 and in the handle, which has a leather grip. It plays well and comfortably with poly mains. Great power and good control for me.

why all people want to adopt racquets to them? Why not you adopt your body to the racquet.... it's very easy, just hit the gym and lift weights, after two months of work 360gr racquet will be like a toy.

Satch, what if a racquet is too light?

I agree poly in the mains is just too stiff with the K95 - I had BA with a multi cross in it, and while I could play with it, I could see if I played a lot my arm would be hurting. I currently have the BA in the crosses with ISOSpeed Pro mains at 60, and that does soften it up a lot...I am not completely resigned to making a switch, if poly crosses work out, I can go that route, but I also like poly mains, and with the K95 that is out.

I try to work out regularly, and stretch to keep my arm/shoulder flexible...but no matter how strong my arm/shoulder is, if a racquet is too stiff, it is too stiff....my tendons and joints are what they are.
