What pallet shape do you prefer?

[Vantage231511]

I'm curious, what pallet shape do you prefer? I mean Wilson, Prince, yada yada.

I use Dunlop shape on my Vantage but am thinking of moving to a different one for feel.

 

[snoflewis]

im fine w/ the yonex ones. they feel a bit small since they are slightly more rectangular than the wilson ones...but they feel pretty good on semiwestern grip and continental.

I like the Wilson and Prince grip shape. I can't stand the rectangular blob of Head and Fischer. I like have eight distinct bevels.

It's very surprising how Head shape fits quite nicely when it's a smaller size than you would normally use.

Anything but Fischer (blech!). I play exclusively with Wilson racquets now so I guess that's my preference.

How can you compare Head and Fischer? Fischers are the most square and Heads are the most rectangular. Totally opposite.

I like head's rectangular. I also like volkl's. I like wilson's too. I do prefer head's though because you can get more feel out of it.

I prefer Wilson. Head is a big no-no for me. No feeling with that shape. Yonex is also very nice.

I prefer a large chicken bone shape.

 

[BreakPoint]

Wilson and Dunlop/Slazenger.

Don't like Head, Volkl, Prince, Yonex, etc.

 

[max]

Dunlop and Wilson. Dislike Volkl.

 

[LordRaceR]

Head, but I use Dunlop and Wilson

 

[Duzza]

I have been using Head my whole life until recently. Now using Prince and never knew there was a difference!! Head is just disgusting now. Is there a way to put Prince/normal pallets on Head's rectangular racquets? Then i would actually use my Prestige.

 

[theace21]

The only one I really hate is the Head...

 

[HyperHorse]

i didnt realise there was any difference...
someone care to explain?
ive used pro kennex, wilson, prince, yonex...

 

[Duzza]

Head, unlike wilson and prince have a more rectangular shaped grip pallet. If you play with both at the same time it's really terrible. Head's feel like bars of soap.

Prince. With a leather grip.

 

[ffrpg]

I prefer Wilson

I agree. They are at opposite ends of the spectrum with a few exceptions like
new Head FXP prestige which is somewhat squarish...

 

[freelancer]

Prince and Wilson are alright, Yonex is my favorite, but I can't stand Head.

 

[newnuse]

Wilson

Wilson with a leather grip is the perfect setup for me

 

[HyperHorse]

hmm, i still really dont see how it would make much of a difference...
heads look/feel a bit boxy...

 

[jonolau]

I do like the shape of Wilson, and Volkl comes next. Somehow Head doesn't feel congruent when switching between FH and BH.

 

[PrestigeClassic]

Why isn't there a chicken bone shape?

 

[La Bomba]

Wilson grip shapes feel really nice and are my favourite.

 

[man-walking]

Wilson, but the Dunlop one feels so well for serving...

 

[Duzza]

Hyperhorse, Pick up a Prince or Wilson racquet and compare it to a Head racquet. Immediately you should feel that the head is more rectangular. I don't think it makes that much of a difference apart from being uncomfortable
