need help choosing a racquet

[tennispr()]

Well im in the market looking for a racquet and i was hoping you folks on TT forums can help me in choosing a new racquet Well i was wondering if you guys can give me racquets similar to the LM prestige. Ive recently played w/ a k-factor 90 tour but i just didnt like it what so ever, except in the serving category(best serving stick ive played with).

I guess you mean the LM Prestige mid?

I'll do the honors of asking you to "fill in the blanks" in terms of your age, level of competition, style of play, racquet history, etc. That will give us an idea of where you're coming from and what you might be looking for.

Im 16 i play on my highschool varsity team at the # 2 spot and my previously used racquets are:
lm prestige mid
nsix-one 95
yonex rdx 500 midplus
kfactor tour 90
I generally play from the baseline but will agressively attack the net from time to time

If you like to play both at the baseline and at net, I would look for a racket this is more even then head light/heavy.
APDC is a good racket to volley with and I play the majority of my game from the baseline.

#2 singles or doubles? Anyhow, impressive list of rackets that you've tried. Can you give us a little more about what you liked and didn't like about each of the rackets above? It's kind of hard to know what you're looking for in a new stick when we don't know what you like and dislike.

I play #2 singles and #1 doubles.

lm prestige mid- by far one of my favorite racquets ive ever played with. Loved groundies with it, net play was fine from what i can remember but i just barely started attacking the net so not real sure

nSix-One- pretty much same thing as above, i just sold it cause a kid bought it for 120 and so i parted ways

yonex-loved groundies hated serves

kfactor tour 90- loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed serves LOVEDDD IT LOVED IT, i couldnt really get a good feel from the baseline it just never felt right, but boy do i love serving with it. I dont think i can "handle" this racquet but then again it might just be the racket

O yeah what do u guys think of the microgel prestige mid and midplus

In general, the smaller a headsize the racket is, the better it serves (provided that you can get adequete swingweight and have good technique).

Why don't you just get the LM Prestige? It sounds like you really liked it. The Microgel Presitge is similar, just the feel is different.

I don't recommend the K6-1 95. It's a worse version of the n6-1 95. Control is a bit lacking on groundstokes, and volleys aren't that great. The n6-1 95 is one of the best all court sticks out there.

It's interesting that you say that. I agree that the K6.1 isn't as good as the n6.1, but I found it better for volleys and groundies, just not as much pop on the serve. It always felt head heavier to me, and I felt like I couldn't get the top of the head through as quickly as I could with my n6.1s.
