Most Spin Friendly Racquet?
- Thread starter cukoo
- Start date
more open patterns will hav more inherent spin. but nothing produces more spin that technique but string pattern and string hav a big influence.
the most spin friendly racquet hav open string paterns, ar heavy but very manuverable, and are flxy.

Low tension strings will hold the ball longer so therefore more spin potential.
You might wanna experiment with grips. A semi western or full western will give you more topspin.
Flexy? I don't think so, as Babolats are notoriously stiff and very very spin friendly. Also look at the RDS racquets, they are stiff also.

The Flexpoint Fire. It seems to be designed for spin as I have to back off to hit the ball flatter at times.

Considering only modern frames, you must try the Prince O3 Tour MP, the Yonex RDX500 mp and the babolat Pure Drive Team. Those 3 frames are "extreme spin generators"!!

and more recently Prince 03 White. I demoed the white the other night and the spin was unbelievable. I ordered 2

i agree on the rdx, o3 tour, but the Pure Drive team is awful for spin
How do you figure? The PD is one of the most spin friendly racquets out there. How do you think all these college players, and Roddick manage to keep the ball in with this racquet? Where the heck did you come up with this?

Aeropro drive, or most other babolat racquets

i did not think the pd was that great for spin at all. college players and andy roddick dont need a spin beast to keep the ball in. hence the 18x20 string pattern in the prestige

Granted the PD doesn't have GREAT spin, but it does have enough to suit those who naturally generate spin
Yes 18x20, but also a heck of a lot less power. Also, there are a lot of people out there who thinks the PD hits as much spin as the APD.

G.O.A.T.
From my experiments, stiffer racquets seem to get better bite and better spin from higher tension. Flexible racquets make lots of spin with lower tension regardless of an open or dense pattern, but an open pattern probably helps a bit.
Technique matters, but some frames are certainly spin prone. By reputation, the Yonex RDX-500 is a spinster, and from what I've tried, the Flexpoint Radical Tour (phenomenal spin for me) and the Prince NXG's (including the mid) make whatever rpm's I could ever need.

I've played with A LOT of rackets and NOTHING produces spin like Fischer Pro Tour Extreme SL (the 325g version)
It is a 27.4 inch, 95sq. in and 9 point head light, flexible racket with open string design ( 16x18 ).
This one is low on power (alot of flexibility in a head light unit at under 12oz will do that). In fact, when I got that racket I had to put it away for few months and play with more powerful Pro Tour FT (same weight but more stiff and less headlight at 98 sq. in.) to develop my forehand to produce more power. Switched back to Extreme just two weeks ago and the spin is amazing (though now I was able to send all that spin all the way to baseline) - sending those short balls cross court is a pleasure - the racket swings around its handle as if on it's own and makes achieving insane head speeds very easy.
P.S. I played with Prince O3, Flexpoint, RDX500 and all the Babolats and Wilson Prostaffs - not even close...well maybe Pro Staff Classic 6.1 was close, but it was way less maneuverable at 12+oz.

PD has good, but not extreme spin. Just too thick beam, and too stiff. I doubt about it you have same technique like Andy...
Another vote for O3 tour MP as spinmaster...

String type does not significantly effect spin, head speed does.
Poly might encourage you to swing harder because it less powerful and the ball doesn't fly as far, but it itself does not produce more spin.
