Warrior Midplus v. OS - Fight to the death!

[heycal]

I now own both these rackets, and I'm wondering which one would be better for my tennis elbow problems and why -- and also wondering how each might racket might effect my game for better or worse. I'm a 3.5 with a two handed backhand (which I originally switched to because I hoped it would help with TE.)

Here are the specs:

MIDPLUS:

97" sq. in
27" length
11.3 oz.
5 pts HL
SW 325
16/20


OS:
107"
27.5"
11.2 oz.
6 pts HL
SW 331
16/19

I demo'd the OS not too long ago and I disliked the feel very much. It really didnt cause elbow pain but it definately wasn't something I would get. Im sure the MP would be better, but I will leave this open for more experienced discussion.

Did the same comparo. OS wins hands down. Its one of the better OS frames ever made IMHO. The MP was tinny and had a small, hot sweetspot. The OS smoothed out the ride and has great control for an OS frame. String it toward the low end to up the power a bit without sacrificing control.

BTW, if you have TE problems, this is not the best Prince solution. Get your hands on an O3 Red. Plays like a Warrior OS but much. much more comfortable and slightly better control due to the 105 head.
