Hi, new to the forum and I am happy to be here. I started playing tennis last fall. I have a Wilson Prostaff Lite 6.9 raquet from high school, but again I rarely played. I also have a Wilson ncode raquet. Both of them are oversized rackets and seem to be very Head Heavy balance.
The other day I pulled out an unused Head Ti S2 raquet which my father-in-law gave us for fun. I hit a ball machine with it for an hour before playing some round robin doubles for a couple hours last night. I really enjoyed the feel of the smaller head size and what felt like different balance.
Looking at this raquets specs, I am looking for something similar. I should and probably will demo a few before I buy, but I was hoping you all could give me some inisght as to your experiences. I am a kick server and I enjoy all aspects of the game. In singles I like to hit topspin from baseline, but I also mix in a good amount of backspins and charge the net. I generate some pretty good topspin power when my blood is flowing, at least compared to the other 3.0/3.5 guys I play with.
Here is are the raquets similar to the Ti.S2 and comparable stats. Let me know your play style and how your experience has been with them. Thanks!
Head Ti.S2
// Balance: 6pts HH
// Swing Weight: 307
// Strung Weight: 266 g
// Head Size: 102 sq. in.
Biomimetic S5.0 Lite
// Balance: 6.3pts HH
// Swing Weight: 298
// Strung Weight: 261 g
// Head Size: 100 sq. in.
YOUTEK Graphene Instinct REV
// Balance: 4.1pts HH
// Swing Weight: 295
// Strung Weight: 251 g
// Head Size: 100 sq. in.
YOUTEK Graphene Speed REV
// Balance: 2.2 HH
// Swing Weight: 301
// Strung Weight: 267 g
// Head Size: 100 sq. in.
If you notice, all of these are Head Heavy. I don't really know if that's what I want or not, so ultimately I will probably have to compare them to the HL counterparts (such as Instinct MP).
