Some Feedback:
Comments:The ProKennex Black Ace Tour is one great playing racquet! Completely overlooked. It's 95sq. inches but feels like a 90 or 85, with much better control than any 95 square inch frame I've ever played with. The sweet spot was not small and I was able to play well with it the instant I picked it up! It is the heaviest feeling frame I have ever played with; much heavier than even my ProStaff 6.0 Original, but it has got to be one of the best feeling racquet's around. It bashed through every ball I hit with great accuracy, but I didn't get to hit any volleys or serves, an area where the Black Ace's maneuverability might be a major weakness. I didn't notice those elongated grommets at the top of the frame until just now, when I saw a picture of the Black Ace here on the TW web site...anyways, if you like a heavier feeling player's frame, and want great control, the ProKennex Black Ace Tour is definitely worth a demo.

Comments:I just switched over to the ProKennex Black Ace Tour from a Wilson ProStaff Classic 6.1 and I love it. It's pretty heavy, which deters some people, however, I'm a fan of a heavy racquet (as is our buddy Pete Sampras). At first, I struggled a little to find the sweet spot consistently, but once I got used to swinging it (after about 30 minutes), I fell in love with the Black Ace. It is so pure when you hit the ball solid. I can now pound the ball corner to corner and crush passing shots at will (vintage Andre.) On the volleys it is crisp (again, after you get used to the movement of the racquet.) I am a ranked 18 year old and have signed a letter of intent to play Division I tennis. I consider myself a 5.0. I highly recommend this racquet for good, competitive and advanced players.
