My Final Racquet Thread

Alright, well, I have been posting on here for a while now, and I need some help for the final time. I flip-flp on frames a lot, and bought an MFil 300 out of impulse. I need a second frame for my team, and am putting together a demo list. Rather than tell you what I want out of a frame and getting your opinions, I felt it would probably be best to give you guys some notes for analyzing. I am a 4.5 all court play whom hits a hard flat serve. I hit hard topspin shots from both wings, my performance on backhands and forehands are nearly identical. I come to the net pretty often, but I would say if I had to chose, I would say I am a baseliner more than S&V. Here are notes on most of the frames I have tried, maybe you guys could help me pick a diverse demo list, and suggest some new frames to try out. I should mention I used to get a bit of tendonitis in my baseball days, but now my arm has gotten a lot stronger and doesnt get tennis elbow barely ever. I still dont think I should be around 70 stiffness, but I would still cosider a 67ish frame.

Babolat Pure Drive: I liked this frame quite a bit. It had very good directional control and I liked the spin. The feel was very crisp. It served very well, but lacked quite a bit on volleys. It wasnt very stable and didn't seem very controlled at the net. The weight felt a little light, it seemed like I would outgrow the frame in the near future.

Babolat AeroPro Drive: This frame was okay. It played well from the baseline, but seemed to have too much spin. The control was also a little subpar, aswell as the stability. It served well on kick serves and slices, and flat came pretty naturally. It seemed stiffer than the Pure Drive, although the specs tell different.

Prince POG OS This frame felt very nice. I liked the feel quite a bit, and the weight seemed kinda heavy, but not too bad. It had a very large sweetspot, but I kinda didn't like the fact that it was an OS. It seemed to be a bit powerful, but this may have just been the string tension. Spin was good not great, and it seemed pretty solid in all areas, no great points, no weak points.

Dunlop Aerogel 200; I enjoyed this frame. The feel was exeptional, I would love my frame to feel like that. It is also an unbelievable control stick. I could put the ball anywhere I wanted to. Spin was tough with the 18x20 string pattern, it hit a kinda flat ball. The upside is, it may perform better with a more spin friendly string. I thought the 330+ SW would be too much to handle, but it really wasnt. It was pretty HL and easy to weild. I didnt serve or volley with this one. I am hoping it will have good punch on those, and stability. People have told me it is unforgiving, but I didn't really think so. The headsize seemed pretty ideal as well. What I learned: I can still use some 330+ SW frames if they are pretty HL. I can use 18x20's, but need a thin beam and HL balance to get the spin I need to play at my best.

Yonex RDS 001 MP
It was a good frame, and gets a lotta love on these boards. The specs seem very very good for me. I just couldnt get into the feel. It seems muted and odd, I dont really know what. I got no feed back. It played pretty stiff, and a bit powerful. The spin was healthy, but not quite enough to keep balls in consistantly. Serves were a lot of the same, just a bad feel:sad:
What I learned: Hype isnt everything. It seems some stiff frames are being too powerful, especially at low SW's. I really dont like the style of Yonex Frames:-D

KFactor 95 16X18
very interesting. I came in totally pumped about this frame. The feel was really an upgrade from the N6.1 95, for sure. It felt kinda unweildy though, it was very sluggish. When I got around on it, it had good punch, but too much. I hit a lot of balls way deep. Serves were superb, as were volleys besides manueverability, but on the baseline it seemed a bit off. I liked the NCode 95 a lot besides feel, but this seemed to lack in performance. (although the NCode felt sluggish also, it hit with better spin and control)
What I took from this frame: Be careful with 330+ Sw, they arent all manueverable. Some open patterns offer too much power if the frame doesnt provide enough spin. Heavier frames seem to feel much more solid and stable.

Dunlop MFil 300
It is a solid frame, I just cant get into the feel. I really dont love it at all, it is just okay. It is low powered fro its weight, but I seem to be hitting more and more balls deep as I get stronger. I think the thin headshape is a bit it lacks a bit of punch and stabilty on S's &V's. I also cant hit anything with pace above my abs on BHs, this is probably just technique. What I learned: Racquet head speed is good, but not too much. Make sure I like the feel of a frame and not just specs.

Head Microgel Extreme Pro
I hated everything about this racquet. The feel was god-awful, and spin was too little for the extreme power I was getting. My friend got tennis elbow twice from this, and he never did when he used the APD or the Pure Drive.
What I learned: Head failed this experiment. I need a thin beam, or at least under the 25 or 26 mm range. Not all 16X19's are spin friendly.

Fischer M-Speed Pro. No. 1 98 SL
I loved the feel here. I played very well from the baseline, and thought the 16x20 string pattern was very good for my game. I liked that is had good mass behind it to get good punch, but still had a pretty low SW. The feel was absolutely unparalleled. Overall, very good frame. What I learned: I seem to be leaning toward flexible frames ever so slightly. I like the 12 oz, low SW combo.

Volkl DNX 9
I didnt like the feel or the stability at all. The weight was very manueverable, and it had good spin, but I think Iwould grow out of it too fast. I hate how all Volkl's frames look, and absolutely hate the Volkl grip shape.

KSixOne Team
This frame was a dream from the baseline, the feel was unbelievable. I really love the spin I got, even off the 18X20 pattern. Volleys were kinda weak though. I like serving with lighter frames quite a bit, but they lack the punch of heavier frames.
What I learned: I can use an 18x20 effectively if I get good racquet head speed. I dont think I can realisticly use a even balanced frame, and still come to the net effectively.

Any thoughts/suggestions? Anyone have differing views? I have tried alot more frames than just these, these just stood out in my mind of frames that I liked and disliked for specific reasons. I really want to put together a list of like 6 frames that I will demo. I am open to any more suggestions as well. I know it is my decision in the end and all that blah blah blah, you dont need to come into my thread and tell me that. I am going to demo these frame, I just want to narrow 30 or more good frames to 6 great ones for my game. Thanks
 
I actually think that you've done a great job laying out your points for yourself.

Just read the points you have just made on these racquets and make your decision based on those points.

(My favorite is the POG)

Please demo the RDX 500 it gives all of what you said wasnt up to par
 
What's the deal with the POG MP? What happened to it? Was production of it stopped? Did Prince even ever make a POG MP? - was I just using a longbody without knowing? I really liked that racquet, but not the MID or OS versions though.

I also really liked the Dunlop Aerogel 200, and the (K)Factor.

What about a sweet Technifibre racquet?

I don't really understand your arm "not getting tennis elbow barely never", but if you ever have hints of eblow pain, it is bad. So I am going to do you a favor and eliminate the Pure Drive, AeroPro, Extreme Pro, and the Yonex RDS 001 from your options.

From everything you've said, I have come to the conclusion most of the other people here have. Go with the M Speed Pro #1.

Besides a couple Babolats, I have not only had the best results with that Fischer, but it was so much fun to play with. It has such a unique and pleasant feel it makes you feel like you're at an instant advantage against anybody that you play.

I completely agree with you about the POG OS. It is a great frame from all areas of the court, but really doesn't stand out to me either. It is reliable and trustworthy, but doesn't really breed any excitement.

I think you have to factor in your results. Any obersvations from your hitting partners or opponents?

Any racket that gave you an unusual amount of confidence? Any rackets that ruined your confidence? It sounds like you'll never feel comfortable at the net with the K95 Team. I think that is a big deal.

I think you should get the Fischer M Speed Pro #1 for sure for your next set of demo's.

What about the Babolat Pure Storm? Tried that? It is possible you'll think it is terrible for volleys, but it is worth a try. Did you try the 03 Tour? My last recommendation is the Prince Hybrid Tour. If you hit hard top spin off both wings and often find yourself at the net, it is the perfect racket for that game.
 
M speed fits your game if you're comfortable with the weight. Aerogel 200 is a fine baseliners racket, more so than the RDS 001Mp IMHO. I like the dunlop 300, SO FAR, so I'd say stick with the racket (even though you should'nt if you don't play well with it). I remember when you said you felt the mspeed was too heavy, and now look at you- your saying that you like 12oz+ frames. I guess working out really does make a difference, do you go to a gym?
Anyway, I say demo the mspeed, AG 200, FXP/LM Prestige or Rad tour, then make up your mind. I hope you don't need it by tomorrow.
good luck.
 
I dunno, I had a big pain leading my Mfil, I kinda wanna keep above the 11 oz. range and get something I can use effectively stock. Btw, I dont get elbow pain ever, but something tells me that a 70RA frame would be bad on the arm, thats all.
 
(prepare for a shameless plug) Check out my POG OS review for what I think about it. It's also the frame I would encourage you to buy, or demo the Pure Storm.
 
Yah, I used the POG Midplus as well and it hit really well. Is this the 93 inch or some Limited edition 98 inch?
 
My current list would be:
POG MP (if it exists even, well I know it does, but which one is this????)
POG OS
Fischer M-Speed Pro. No. 1 98 SL
Dunlop Aerogel 200

My hitting partner uses an RDX. He doesnt like to let me use it for some reason. He also has it leaded up so I cant get a good demo of it stock. I liked it though, it was very solid. Maybe he will let me try it again.

6 Frames You Should Demo in my opinion and after my research of that playing style...which happens to be also exact as mine...I am 16, I dont know about you. But I hit with flat serve, topsin groundstrokes, at the net often...So on so forth

I recommend...
Head FXP Prestige MP...key here is a good string, perfect for you
Customized Pure Drive...with lead to get it up to about 11.8 oz, 3 pts hl, 360ish SW
Dunlop Aerogel 200
Tecnifibre 315...Great racket, plays great from every angle
Head Extreme Pro...Plays ok, but the pure drive is a little better.
Head LM Radical Tour...If you can find it...get it
Head Ti.Radical MP...If you can find it...get it too lol

I am 16 also. I really have no respect for heads frames after there terrible Pure Drive clone in the Extreme pro, and their totally BS techs, they cant even get their own players onboard with flexpoint. The only frame I have ever enjoyed at all from them is the LMPrestige, and that didnt have near enough spin at that low powered base. I DONT want to lead up another frame nor use a 70 RA stiffness frame. The Tfight 315 looks okay i guess. I think the 320 would fit me much better. I cant demo any frame that is discontinued. I am going to demo the Aerogel 200 though.
 
I've been a user of heavy racquets for several years and whenever I sample anything under 12 oz., I really miss the mass. Also recently discovered that I could benefit from a frame with more flex, especially for strokes. I think that Fischer will be tough to beat - I liked my demo last year - and a Yonex that actually looks interesting is the new RDS-002 Tour.

Funny, I've never had any love for Volkl and my demos with their stuff were never exciting, but I recently found a super cheap C-10 Pro and pulled a "what the heck". I'm still crackin' up with how well this thing is working for me from everywhere on the court. My lesson was to never write off an entire line from anyone - finding this racquet has ended my on-and-off search of about two years and tuning its personality with a little lead has been a cinch.

Two other frames with more flex that you might try: the Head Flexpoint Radical Tour and the Tfight 335 (the Radical was a fun demo, too). If you put the C-10 way down there at the bottom of your list just in case all else fails, I won't narc on you...
 
I'm 16 also by the way. I felt the same way at first with the 001, the feel was odd, almost nonexistant. I just took off the dampener and it felt a lot better to me. I don't know whether you tried it with the dampener or not, but that would probably not be enough to change your opinion. I demoed similar frames as you did: Aerogel 300/Mfil 300, I own a Babolat PD w/cortex, APD, and the Fischer was one of my favorite racquets. It seems to me like you would want to go with the Fischer, it is the only racquet you did not give any negative comments about. Too add to Kerplunker's very nice list, I would also suggest:

FX Rad Tour(except for your dislike for Head)
03 Tour(would give you the spin, might lack in feel)
Aerogel 300(tried the Mfil version, aerogel has different feel)
Pure/Aeropro Control(Heavier than the PD/APD, more stable)
Also maybe the Pure Storm

By the way, I play heavy topspin off my forehand, hit a flatter 2 hander, and really like to hit my lefty kick/slice serve.

I really just ignore the technology, but all in all its a great racket. You really should give it a try, in all honesty I think you may really like it regardless your dislike for head. Why the hate for the PD Clone though, Dunlop cloned it with the 500tour as well. Wilson cloned it with the Surge and Open...you really need to care less about the manufactor and more about the frame and how you play with it. Please just give it a chance, the FXP Prestige has more power than the LM and I can generate a good amount of spin with the right technique.
 
the fxp prestige I tried felt even stiffer than my PD, but I guess that means its powerful too. I didn't like it much, but since you're stronger borat you may.

I really hate head's grip shape. That isnt that big of a deal though. I am actually gonna hit with the Prestige and Radicals in the tunnel of my pro shop some more. I dont hate PD clones, the Extremes were terrible in my opinion, I demoed them each for 2 weeks.

lol, Im not that strong. I am just getting a lot stronger. (I have grown 5 inches in the last year and am lifting every day.) I just seem to hit deep with my Mfil. Racquets to me, need to have the right spin to mass ration. I really think this is the key to a solid frame. For example, the KTeam was a great frame. It was very light, but had a closed pattern and low flex which took away frome the power. The racquet head speed was good enough to provide spin. the K6.1 95 had a lot of mass, and was very stiff, and had a very open pattern. It has too many specs going in the power direction. I hit this too deep, even though racquet head speed was sub-par. The MSpeed has a low flex, less power, mid pattern, neutral, good mass at 12 oz., power. That is my theory in racquets. They need to be balanced to be good. It is all about what balance works. I.E. some people may like any of these:
-Tight pattern, low weight, low flex
-high weight, low flex, open pattern
-high weight, mid flex, open pattern

I think this is what a 4.0 should look for in a 98 inch frame IMO. these seem to fit any playing style. This is just my opinion though. All of these will keep you away from arm problems as well.
 
if you liked the fischer, you could as well try out a nblade 98. has low flex and is nicely balanced.

That's similar to me. I haven't really found a HEAD racquet that has suited my game well.

I'd really like to get some more time in with a LM Radical MP.

Babolat Pure Drive: I liked this frame quite a bit. It had very good directional control and I liked the spin. The feel was very crisp. It served very well, but lacked quite a bit on volleys. It wasnt very stable and didn't seem very controlled at the net. The weight felt a little light, it seemed like I would outgrow the frame in the near future.

after hearing that, I'd totally recommend the babolat pure drive roddick. It feels just like a regular pd, just with a little more heft and stability. I have the same style game as you (so it sounds) except I like to serve and volley at least a little bit more. I bought mine about 10 or so monthes ago and I still love it.

Does the PDR have more power than the standard PD? Because I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want more.

I'll have to give that one a demo.
 
yah....it would have more power. I am with you, I doubt I would want more.
Kinda tempted to try the new Aeropro drive cortex
 
Since you seem to like the M-Speed 98, would you give any consideration to the 105-sq. inch frame? It has a noticeably larger sweet spot, noticeably more power, very close in weight and swingweight, with almost an identical feel. I have both and I'm not sure which one I like better. The 98 might feel a bit more "solid", maybe, but I'm probably splitting hairs as they're both very close in terms of feel.

Seems like the 105 could be suitable if you make a lot of trips to the net.

I also just wanted to say that the "105" number seems to put some people off, as if it were a granny stick or something, when in reality it's maybe like 1/8" larger across the diameter than a 100 sq. inch frame or perhaps a bit deeper at the throat. The pros seem to have no issues with 100-sq. in. frames, as evidenced by the large number of players who use that large of a frame. Yet using a frame with an extra 5 sq. in. seems to be some sort of psychological "no-no" for most amateur players. Believe me, I'm a solid 4.5 and I have no issues whatsoever playing with a 105 sq. in. frame as long as it suits my style and doesn't hinder my game.

I dont think that I want more power. I am also a pretty clean ball striker. I think the 98 would fit me better. 1000 posts!!!
 
I am also looking into the LM Radical MP. Anyone else know any good 11.2ish 11.3 oz. 95 to 98 inch frames with low power and 18X20 pattern?
 
Is the LM Radical very low powered? It seems perfect besides the low weight, but if it is low powered, this would be a very good frame for me. Has anyone tried it in comparison to any other modern frames, MFil300?, Pure Drive? I mostly want to know about power, but also want to hear any other thoughts.
