After getting the opportunity to play with a couple lighter tweener racquets, I've realized that I'm more comfortable playing with a 'heavier' racquet that gets its power from its weight and not from technology or stiffness.
Three things that using the lighter tweeners did make me realize are: 1) using a racquet that is larger than my POG mid (93 sq in) makes all shots, especially at net, a lot more forgiving; 2) having a racquet that I feel comfortable with at net adds a whole new dimension to my game; and 3) having a little extra pop out of the racquet is a great thing to have as you get older.
So now I'm looking to demo some racquets (as someone mentioned in my last post, "When am I not looking for a racquet?) that:
1) offer excellent pop on serves
2) allow for easy access to spin
3) give good power (for a "players" racquet) on groundstrokes
4) quick/comfortable/solid at net
Which 3 {please vote for 3} racquets you do think would best fit those characteristics?
Thanks for any helpful votes/opinions/advice/comments.
