Hello All,
This will hopefully be my last post in a while, as I hope to find and purchase 3 of the same frames for the rest of my season.
My Game :
I play with mostly UTR 10's, in practice and tournaments. I play D1 Highschool tennis.
I hit with a strong semi-western forehand and am fast enough to get around my backhand. My backhand is solid enough to redirect pace and is fairly reliable.
My problem right now is that I switch frames as I switch styles of play. I enjoy serving and volleying, as well as playing a more transitional game, and a baseline game. Which leaves me just doing everything, and I feel like I need to make a desition in order to continue to progress.
Past Frames And Opinions One Them:
Babolat Pure Aero: Played for a while with this frame, but I really couldn't get a great feel for it. I added lead tape to the frame at the throat and at 3&9. I didn't like it on my serve, but I like it on the forehand. I felt like I couldn't serve and volley well with it either.
Yonex Dual G 330: Second time coming to this frame, I liked everything about it besides the serve, and sometimes it was hard to pronate on my forehand.
Wilson Ultra Tour: I liked this frame enough but something just wasn't there for me, not enough pop, but I still didn't feel like I could snipe shots off with extream precision.
Head Prestige XT MP: Again I liked this frame a lot, but I couldn't stand the hallow feel.
Frames I am looking at right now:
Yonex DR 98 - I have access to this frame, and I love it off the ground, but I worry about it on the serve and on the volley.
Prince Phantom 93p: Heard nothing but good things, and the serve and volley would be great but I don't know how it'll do on the groundstrokes.
Let me know your recommendations, any frames I should be looking at or your thoughts on the ones I have mentioned.
I'd be happy to respond to any questions as well.
