I've returned to tennis after 20 years and am demoing racquets (and gratefully devouring this site - thanks all).
The racquets I like are all around 11.50oz (Graphene Radical MP, Prince Graphite 100 and Tour 98 ESP) as are those I've yet to demo (Blade 98, Yonex IA 98). I know I'll be adding a lot of weight, potentially an ounce. But I don't want a rocket launcher. Should I be excluding the more powerful racquets on my list (eg. Blade and IA, supposing they prove to be) and considering ones that I'm not currently because they're underpowered as stock? (Pure Control Tour)
I can't demo heavier racquets as the shops near me in the UK only have lighter ones. I'm playing doubles and am an aggressive volleyer/angley dinker. I'm struggling to regain topspin groundstrokes, which is why I want more weight. (I know it's technique but I learnt mine with heavy wooden racquets).
