Need Help Choosing A Racquet

[sledgehammer]

I'm going to order a racquet online, but I need help choosing the racquet that would best suit me. Here are some of my statistics:

1) I'm about a 3.0 player
2) Full, fast swing
3) Two-handed backhand
4) Agressive Baseliner (rarely play at the net)
5) Like to take a whip at the ball

Any manufactuer will do. Right now, I use the Babalot Pure Power and I quite like it. But I'm just looking to purchase a different racquet that will suit me. Any suggestions?

what did you like and dislike about your racquet you have now?

I love the racquet, but I'm looking for a change. I guess one thing I found with my Pure Power is when I whip the ball, the ball will go long. But, I'm just looking to try something else.

It seems like from your description that we're similar players. I currently play with the iradical OS. Racquets that i've been considering are prince diablo MP, pure drive OS, wilson surge 5.1, head liquid metal 4 and 2, LM radical, prince more precision, wilson hyper prostaff 6.1.

I know this is a long list, but these are generally tweener racquets that offer a good mix of power and control [not to mention good from the baseline]

Hope this helps

Hello,

Right now, I'm looking at the following racquets:

1) Babolat Pure Drive
2) Wilson Pro Staff Tour 90
3) Head Liquidmetal Radical
4) Head Liquidmetal Prestige
5) Head Liquidmetal Instinct
6) Prince Tour NXG Graphite
7) Wilson nCode nSix-One Tour 90
8) Wilson ProStaff ROK

Anyone here play with any of these racquets? And if so, do you think any of these would suit my game?

Thanks

Since your balls go long when you "whit" it, you should consider more of a control-based racquet. Liquid metal is a gimmick, I recommend looking at the older prestiges (prestige classic) or even the i.Prestige. I would recommend you use a midplus size racquet. The POG oversize however might be a good choice since it's so control based.
If I were your type of player I would consider:

Yonex RDX 500
Prince Graphite Classic OS
Head Prestige MP
Wilson Prostaff 6.0/6.1
