Searching for a Racket.

[Dan007]

I'm searching for a new racket. I have a baseliner. I usually like to dictate play from the baseline and I also play good defense. I hit with heavy topspin on the forehand and hit really flat on my 2 handed BH. My groundstrokes are my weapons. I also use BH slice very effectively. I do come to the net once in a while, but it's rare. I'm still improving on my volleys. My serve is decent. My first serve wins me a lot of points when I get them in. My second serve is a slice serve and I like to spin it in.

The rackets I had in mind were
-Babolat Aero Pro Drive
-Babolat Pure Drive Roddick
-Head Flexpoint Radical MP (The last time I tried it out, it was a disaster, but I'm willing to demo it again)

How good are you? I mean a lot of people go "I am a all court player and hit winners off every shot with 10 foot topspin"...

I'm in 3.5-4.0 range.

I have used Head Liquidmetal Instinct XL. It was a good racket, but I didn't think it was quite the racket for me. I also used Head Intelligence Radical OS. That racket was suited pretty well for me, I liked that racket a lot, but it was too light.

so im guessing you like something around the 12 oz range....maybe swingweight around 325-330, definitely headlight, more flexible....

the only rackets that come to mind are the PDR liek you mentioned, the n6.1, flexpoint radical tour, and the 03 hybrid tour. from personal experience, if you use a lot of topspin and can control it, the 03HT is very good...just didnt suit my game
