need help for tennis racquet

[babolat412]

I am looking for a racquet that has a lot power & spin. I'm 5'4" in height so Im looking for a longer stick at least 27.5 to 28.5 in. I prefer an open string pattern, 100 to 110 sq in., head heavy and at least 10.4 oz unstrung. I dont care if it an old model as long as its not wood or aluminum. Can anybody help?

Every manufacturer has those rackets for old farts with short strokes.
I guess you are looking for a used one cheap.
You might post your location. I have THREE PrinceThunderstickOS 115's strung at 70 lbs. I'm in BerkeleyCa, and prefer my heavier and smaller Mfil 200's.

i have no plan to buy a used racquet, the longest racquet I found so far is prince graphite long body & prince Micheal Chang's titanium which is 28 inches in lenght and both of them are headlight. I need a newer head heavy stick to give me a little more power. What i read on this forum is that if you are a small player a longer stick will benefit you especially if you are a baseline player

^^^ not necessarily. im about your height, and i use a 27 inch fine. haha, personal preference. I suggest you look in the liquidation section of TW and see if you find anything. you can come back with your questions after you pick a few and people would love to help.

have you tried adding lead tape to the upper hoop to make it less headlight?

My THREE Prince T sticks are all super head heavy, about 10 oz, wide framed, but streamlined, and at least 28.5" long, or slightly LONGER.
Longer than my old PrinceChangs, which were very long.
Read up on specs. Almost all the old fart rackets are like my TSTicks.

x2. i'm about 5'4", baseliner for the most part, and play with pog mids. its all personal preference.

what racquet are you currently using now? based on your specs old school wilson hammers and probably the newer iterations today would probably work for you.

At 5'5", I still use 27" racquets. It's not essential for you to have a longer racquet, even if you are a baseliner. The extra inch or so won't tremendously help you get better reach.
