Hi all, I have a question about which racquet to get. I am at an intermediate level playing tennis but I am using the Head TiS2 performance racquet. I've been using the TiS2 all this summer. I just got that racquet 'cause I thought I wasn't going to be playing a lot and it was cheap at my local Sports Authority ($69). I got better during the summer and now I am hitting pretty well with that racquet. I hit the ball with a lot of spin and power at the same time and a lot to the baseline and deep mostly kept in court so the control is there.
I was thinking about upgrading to a better racquet and this weekend I demo the volkl powerbridge 8 and powerbridge 10. A friend of mine playing with volkl racquets and told me to try it. I tried them and didnt play that good with them. My serve was definitely better. I can still hit with a lot of spin but my power was gone. I wasn't hitting the ball as hard as I am used to with my TiS2. Plus, most of the time I hit it really hard, the ball would go out. Maybe it was the tension or strings which I don't even know what it was or something else, but I play awful with them. Now I don't know if I want to buy better racquet or just buy 2 more TiS2 which are now for $50 at Sports Authority.
I would like to know which racquet do you guys recommend (I will prefer Head since I usually play better with them) for someone like me. I hit with a lot of Spin and very hard. I love to hit the ball hard and would love to buy a racquet that would allow me to do that. I'll be playing a lot during this winter with some friends plus will play some tournaments next summer.
Any input on this highly appreciate it. Thanks all.
