Pure Storm "Upgrade"

[ayuehfl]

Hey! I've been playing with the storm for about 3 years and have decided that it might be time for me to move on.

I'm currently a first year college student that, for now, only plays recreationally. I'm probably about a 4.0 player. I'm an all court player who enjoys moving up towards the net. I hit a moderate topspin forehand that I can flatten out to end points, a flatter 2 handed backhand mixed with slices, a flat first serve, and a decent kick second serve.

I was wondering what kind of racquets would maybe help me improve or maybe "help" me play a bit better. I've enjoyed playing with the pure storm, but I honestly haven't tested many racquets. I'm stronger than I was 3 years ago so a weight upgrade might not be too bad. I'm looking for a bit more plow through and possibly some more access to spin.

I'm entirely open to possibly any racquets that will be released in the near future (early 2014). Are there any exciting new releases that might fit me? Or is there something out already? Thanks!

Well new Babolat lines are coming out, the Pure Control and Pure Strike I believe it is called, and they will be clear upgrades and new models of the older frames, so you can definitely check those out and you may find something that you will enjoy.

What the issue with your Pure Storm? If there's none, I'll agree with the post above: wait for the new Pure Controls next year, or stock some Pure Storms.
