Can anyone recommend a modern racket similar to a Head YouTek IG Extreme MP 2.0? I've been a user of control-oriented rackets for many years. Accidentally played a session with a 2012 Head Extreme MP and fell in love with it. Its blend of power, foregiveness and control made me think of switching to a more easy-to-play racket. Switching to a 12-year-old frame has some obvious caveats, though. I've tested almost the entire lineup of current Head rackets (except Boom) and none of them felt similar. Modern 'Auxetic' Extremes feel completely different—hollow, I would say. I've also tested other popular spin-oriented rackets, namely Vcore and Pure Aero. They weren't similar as well.
Babolat Pure Drive mold design looks very similar to the old Youtek Extreme. Does anyone have experience with both and can compare them?
I would gladly demo all available rackets without asking questions, but it's pretty hard to demo rackets where I live.
