Im going to demo some racquets. One im going to demo is the Babolat Pure Drive Roddick (im not sure if i should demo the plus or regular). I want a racquet that is good for serving and good for baseline. Im going varsity this year. I hit my backhands with 1 arm. Um, i have a semi western grip i think. And i think thats all you need to know. I was also thinking of the Aeropro Drive from babolat. Also price doesnt really matter. Thank you

just for ur info, plus is VERY heavy.. so unless ur arm is strong enough, choose standard. *talking about pure drive roddick*
hm...i don't like the babolots, so i wouldn't suggest them 
I'd say go with something like a LM Fire, its not too much of a weight difference and it'll be a good tweener racquet. If thats not enough weight for you, then try out the LM Radical (i don't like flexies)
But, if your good with a lot of weight (12 oc) then i would go with the TF Tfight 320 (either string pattern), great for serves, has tons of control and enough power. I don't like the PD power, but if thats what you want, then i wouldn't go witht he TF. Try out some LMs

dont get the babolot. learn proper technique and use a more control oriented racket. if your a 3.5 and just in high school nows a very good time to devolop a good game so maybe a tweener racket with around 100 head size but with a more control feel maybe a dunlop 300g or a fischer pro tour. i love the pro tour its got great feel to it. and with these rackets as u improve u can add lead tape as u get more comfortable with ur game.

There is some sound advice here. Learn proper technique, and just get a racquet with the highest swingweight that you can effectively handle/harness, so that it is suitable to your stroke and swing speed.maverick66 said:
Don't get too caught up in the hype about the racquets that pros are using. Get something that you're comfortable with and can handle. As your technique improves, you can squeeze even more out of the equipment.
After all, the racquet is only effective if you can hit correctly. Thinks about this: you can give the most expensive/so-called "most suitable" racquet to someone with poor technique and his game will still never improve.
