Rebel 95/Team

[trapper]

I currently use the Original Graphite (OS) and have really enjoyed playing with this racquet. I have demoed the Rebel 95 and Graphite 100 and I liked the Rebel, but it seemed much heavier than my POG OS, even though the specs listed are lighter.

I was thinking about trying out the Rebel Team, which is lighter (10.2 oz). Has anyone played with this racquet? Just curious as to the feel and swing of the lighter version.

Rebel Team is amazing. I liked it very much. It is light (static) but it has even balance and sw is pretty high for its static weight. It is VERY stable. Spin is surprisingly good for 18x20.
You should definitely try it!

..I couldnt agree more. Add some lead at three and nine and goodbye arm problems. Really solid. Check out the exo graphite 93 as well, little more plow thru than the rebel team and just as good.

Thanks. Im going to try it out. I hit heavy topspin, so I am concerned about the close string pattern.

I have tried out the Graphite 93, not opposed to it, but I have only ever used OS Prince racquets.

I played with the Michael Chang Longbody for many many years and I still really enjoy playing with it.

I meant to say I have not tried the Graphite 93. Do you think it will be a hard switch for me since I am used to a larger head size?
