80's Edge
Guest
I'm trying to get back into tennis after many years; played 4.0 at the time. I used the Head Graphite Edge back in the 80's and I have been searching for years now but cannot find a comparable replacement racquet in terms of touch, feel, and playability in todays racquet market.
I tried the Head Radical MP (too light, no feel), Dunlop 200G & 300G (good weight, but not enough feel), and 90's Wilson PS 6.2(?). Demo'd the Wilson PS(Sampras and Pre-Sampras), but too heavy and too stiff. The Wilson PS 6.2(?) was the closest, but not quite. It did not have the feel and pop (plow through); especially on backhand slices and drop shots, the ball tended to rise and drift.
Read some former posts on the Head Graphite Edge, and like some said. It was like playing with an extension of your arm. Everything you played went where you wanted it to go, without question.
Searching for former Head Graphite Edge users out there that found a suitable replacement racquet; please help.
