Selecting a racquet

[kalipa]

Hi, I am looking to get a new racquet, because I'm just not feeling right with my racquet (Prince Rebel Team).
I also have a Wilson Hyper Hammer 5.9, but it belongs to a friend, so i don't use it, since the strings are old, and if i break them he's gonna want me to re-string it.
But anyways, I need help knowing what racquet would be best suited for me, I asked my tennis instructor, but that just left me with more doubts, since she told me that I hit hard, so that I needed a head heavy racquet, and I thought to myself, wouldn't I need the opposite? She also told me to get a babolat or a head, so that to me just sounded like it's the brands that she likes.
So to all this, what racquet would be good for me? I've been looking at the wilson kobra, wilson tidal wave, and the dunlop aerogel 800, since they all say they're for medium swing speed, and medium power.
Also, I live in Mexico so demoing a racquet in not really an option.

Any help/advice is really apreciated, maybe I'm fine with my current racquet and it's all just in my head

Sounds like your coach gave you poor advice! It would be useful to describe your playing level and style in order to give worthwhile racquet recommendations. The racquet finder is a useful tool if you kind of know the specs you want which it seems you do.

Look in the sale section also. Two racquets that spring to mind that offer great value are the Wilson Ncode NTour Two (105" headsize might be a better fir for you) and the Prinze Ozone Tour if you want to stick to Prince.

Step 1: get a new coach.

Step 2: tell us what you like about your current racquet, and what you don't like about it.

Edit -

Step 3: ignore erroneous, baseless recommendations until you've responded to Step 2 (see immediately below).

1. Well, I don't think she's bad, she's the one I learned how to play with.

2. I don't know what I like about it, I just got it because it was at a good price (around $100 6 months ago). I can't explain what I don't like about it either, I feel like I'm not using the racquet to it's fullest.

Also my game is all court, i enjoy both being in the baseline, and going up to the net.

Also thanks to everyone for their help.
