three of the best rated racket by TW

[Wheelz]

FXP radical Tour
Head agassi LE
Head LM radical MP


three rackets that I've spent alot of time reading reviews.

can any of you guys that tried or own of them give me feedback please !

I'm really more a groudstroke player the anything else.

I can generate some good head speed and can hit the ball fairly well but im still learning the game.

Among these 3 rackets, the only one I have is Agassi LE. Note this is a OS racket so it is more forgiving if you miss the sweetspot. Very solid racket for baseliner. If you are grooving your hits, it wouldn't go wrong if you use Agassi LE, but I suggest at some point you may consider pick up a smaller headsize thus to force yourself to improve your footwork, and to hit with the small sweetspot. But I guess it is all depends on your play style, as you can see pros like Agassi or Chang (who baseline all the time) just sticked with OS rackets. Because nothing is better than a powerful stick and big sweetspot for baseline bashing.

Hi thanks for the detailed answer... my threads are not so popular hehe. You're right, I'm groving into my strokes but have made huge improvement lately. I started the summer with an OS very light racquet (265g). I switched two weeks ago for an old Wilson Aggressor(not sure about the head size must be around 90). It's also heavy, probably 12+oz. My game has stepped up a notch, Ive gain alot of control and i really like how I go through the ball. I've got a solid golf swing(used to do alot of competitions and was a scratch golfer) and imo technique and focus on the ball is alot like golf (the torso turn).
That's why I've been highly looking at the FXP Tour (100sq) which is between an Os and my small Wilson.

I know I'll get posters saying I should demo but I called the local store(they charge 5$ per day to demo) and they sold their demos for this summer. And since I'm still groving my game, like you said, I think it's less important to demo it since I think I can grove my skills with the racquet.

I see you pretty much all set for a MP head size. For an intermediate level I don't see anything wrong with the racket you picked. These rackets are usually a mix of power and control as most reviews will say. It would be the best if you could try hit with it a little bit, but if not, most likely nothing shall go wrong.

I have the LM Radical MP and I love it with how it fits my game. It gives a low power with control and the weight is a decent amount. Adding lead tape to the 3 and 9 o'clock position is a good method if you want more power and some more control. It's a great racquet for the baseliner and serving is fairly decent on the Radical. I'm not so good at volleying, but when I got some good volleys, the Radical gave good feedback and hit good returns.

Thanks for your feedback !!

keep in mind that the lm radical is the least spin friendly out of the three since it has a dense string pattern. so unless you're good at hitting with spin, i think the agassi le radical is your best bet if you can handle the weight.

That's assuming you can swing the other two just as fast as the LM. Considering they are much heavier ... most people won't be able to do it.
Racket head speed is far more important in creating spin than the string pattern...so I would say you should take the bolded part of the quoted post "with a grain of salt"

You can make spin with the LM Radical, but you really need to "whup" across the ball - I owned a pair and they have less of an inclination for spin production than other frames, but they hit a pretty sweet ball. I was taken in by their feel and maneuverability, but my tennis DNA is stuck on heavier racquets, so I moved on. Tried some lead on my Radicals, btw, with no luck.

If you're a baseliner, need some spin, and are ok with a 12 oz. frame, the Flexpoint Radical Tour is hilarious for turning the ball over. I found a little less pop on my volleys and serves when I demoed it, probably due to its flex, but it was a lot of fun from the baseline for me. Plenty of spin potential with the stability of a heavier frame.

No experience with the Agassi model, but I'd say you're looking a some pretty good gear. I'd suggest dropping the $5 to demo the one that you're pretty sure you want to get. Think of it as insurance against a much more expensive disappointment.
