I've been playing with the Aero line for almost 10 years, but since I'm not a junior anymore, I'm finding I don't need such a powerful racquet, and would like something with a little more feel and control.
Recently I have demoed 5 racquets (I will rank in order of preference):
1. Yonex SV 95- I was really hitting a big heavy ball with this racquet from all areas of the court. I sometimes felt disconnected from the ball and lost it in the string bed.
2. Wilson Prostaff 97 CV- Great feel and weight, but too low on power. I couldn't get enough on my shots to trouble my opponents.
3. Wilson Blade 98 CV 16x19- This one was ok for me. I played with the BLX Blade for a few years and remember the feel was a lot better. The CV is too dampened.
4. Yonex DR 98 305- This racquet was super stable and I could hit big shots but I had absolutely no feel.
5. Head Speed MP- I didn't hit great with this and I found it felt a little jaring at times.
Overall, I'm looking for a racquet that can offer big spin, and mediumish power. The trend toward a dampened feel is annoying me. Can anyone offer suggestions?
