Hey guys,
I wonder if anyone has a problem with TW reviews. I relied on them for overall racquet ratings and comments. But after getting and playing with 6.1 Tour 90 for a week now, I started thinking that something isn't right with the reviews. I loved the way 6.1 Tour 90 feels and plays and would probably get it sooner if not for the lower review and bad comments.
On TW n6.1 Tour 90 is rated overall "73" compared with "80" for a more popular n6.1 95 frame. I wonder if this advanced player racquet should be tested/rated ONLY by high-NTRP ranked players.
Why would players 3-4 NTRP players rank a racquet "Best suited to 5.0+ NTRP level players"? Naturally, they wouldn't like it and give the racquet a lower rating.
A while ago I plotted TW ratings for some popular frames (unfortunately, some of them are not even reviewed) in excel worksheet to compare and find the best racquet for my game and ended up with the following models best suited for my game:
n6.1 95 16x18 (80)
FXP Radical MP (79?)
FXP Radical Tour (81)
FXP Prestige MP (79?)
LM Radical MP (80, old review?)
Yonex RDX 500 (80)
Dunlop M-Fil 300 (not reviewed?)
Babolat Pure Storm (not reviewed?)
Now, I think I'll be getting another n6.1 Tour 90 and be careful relying on TW reviews. Also, what is exactly "best seller" according to TW?
Any serious comments?
