I've been playing with a Pure Drive 2015 for the last 3 years strung with RPM Blast. The racquet recently cracked while I was practicing serves (RIP Pure Drive). I'm pretty sure it got slammed in the trunk of my car at some point though I do have a toddler running around so the little one could be the culprit. I never loved the racquet, I just didn't think about switching as I was concentrating on working on my game.
I'm currently playing with my friend's previous generation Pure Aero Tour while I wait for my demos to arrive from TW. I'm hitting a big serve and I can rip some super deep topspin forehands with the PAT, but it's a lot of racquet that I find myself having difficulty controlling. I find it a bit unwieldy and stiff. It is fun to play with though.
The racquets I'm most interested in based on my extensive research are...
Yonex vcore 98 (never hit with a Yonex)
Yonex ezone 98
Prince Textreme Tour 100
Pure Aero 2019 (non tour)
Wilson Clash (just because)
These are all coming in demo form from TW.
I was also looking at the Yonex DR98 due to rave reviews but it's discontinued. They seem to fit in the "all around" solid racquet category which is what I'm after.
Any tips on what to expect from these racquets? Any you think I should look at for longer than others? I'm not the type of player that wants to be continually tweaking nor switching racquets. I'd like to find one that I can hit with for 4+ years. Thanks!
