Racquet Choice?

I'm a highschool tennis player and have always like players frame with a midsize head, however as im encountering faster, bigger hitter i dont have enough time to prepare for shots. Thus, mishits and no power. Ive been demoing a Pure Storm LTD and an IG speed 18x20. I like the feel and power on the Pure storm if i can hit it correctly, on the Speed i really dont like it however if im being lazy or on the run i have some free power with it.

So should i stick with the players frame, grow into it and get better technique or switch to a more forgiving almost-tweener stick.

what are you playing with, whats your style of play.

i'd just get some lead in the handle and make your current racquet more headlight if you don't have enough maneuverability.
if the racquet is getting pushed around add some lead to polarize it and make it heavier, handle + head.

sometimes all you need to do is bunt the ball back deep. a lot of the time i should say for those people who love to crush it.

I'm demoing racquets now, my current racquet is a Yonex RDiS 100 Mid. Not Manuverable in the sense its not headlight enough, its just physically heavy also my shot process has to be perfect so when im rushed i hit a bad shot. I play a heavy topspin game, extreme western forehand 2HBH and i love the clay courts.

By pushed around i mean my returns are weak they dont go where i want them to if i mishit so i end up getting behind in the rally when i shouldnt.
