while I was lurking, I was going to suggest the LM Rad Tour for your description, Ross. This is my main stick and it is everything you are looking for in a racquet, for me anyway, your mileage (or kilometerage
) may vary.
I agree with Fed that return of serve is probably one of the best things about this racquet. I love crushing forehands on return of serve on flat hard 1st serves. You just put a nice smooth stroke on it and it blasts away, but lots of heavier sticks will do this. But all groundies are just a blast with this racquet, great control and good pop due to the weight. Onky is right, though, the sweetspot is smallish and not very forgiving, the weight doesn't help in this regard. My first serves are pretty big with this racquet and there's a good amount of spin from this stick (not as much as APDC, but not too shabby). My favorite aspect is the flex (61 RA).
I came to this racquet because I kept getting injured using K90/K95/leaded up APDC on late shots or late backhand volleys. I really liked those 3 racquets the most out of all the ones I've tried and the LM Rad Tour has some of the best features of them all. It wasn't until I tried flexier sticks (PT630/PST/PSL/BB11) that I realized I should be using very flexy frames for my arm safety.
For instance, for me:
- The K90 excelled at return of serve, first serve, and volleys (in that order). The LM Rad Tour had these aspects for me (except volleying).
- The K95/APDC excelled at heavy, offensive groundies with excellent spin. The LM Rad Tour had these aspects for me (less spin, however).
- The PT630/PST/PSL/BB11 that I tried had some sweet arm-friendly flex and feel that I really enjoyed. The LM Rad Tour had these aspects for me.
I used the K95 for a very long time, which is 12.3 oz but very stiff (70 RA). I switched to an APDC which I polarized and leaded up to 12.3 oz, that one eventually had way too much pop on my 2h backhand, which is flatter. I wanted something more like the K95 but arm friendly, so I pulled out my old LM Rad Tour. My LM Rad Tours STOCK are 12.3 oz, 61 flex, SW in the 333 range, and 6pt HL. I put leather grip and overgrip on mine, so mine is a bit heavier and more HL. I was actually looking at the Rebel 95 as something that seems similar out in the market today and was actually looking to demo it.
Even though I really enjoy the LM Rad Tour, I like to try different things, so I may be using the Youtek Radical Pro or Rebel 95 next. For now, I'm also trying ultra low tension after playing my friend's POG MP strung at 45 (it was great). The PST, Mcomp95, and BB Delta Core Legend (wannabe Head PT630/PT280 clone, imho) also looks to have very similar specs, the mcomp95 having a more open pattern.
Anyway, between the Rebel95 and RadPro, you may have sticks better than the LM Rad Tour, so I wouldn't sweat missing out on this stick. There are a ton of sticks out there that hit very close to it, I just happen to have a bunch of them.
And when I refuse to help you, you think you're in the right and better than me by attempting to TROLL ME again? You're definitely more of an "adult". Thanks for letting me know that. 
Anyhow, I certainly feel like I'm developing my 'tennis muscles', and I actually think it's a good form of 'training' of a sort... provided my arm doesn't fall off! :shock:
