Planning on switching back to my old friends the Pro Staff 6.0 95's and trick those bad boys out to similar specs as my current stick.

No way Dunlop is more popular than Prince or Babolat. I barely see anybody in SoCal with a Dunlop, but lots of Wilson, Head, Babolat, and some Prince.

And if in your area that's the case...it must be the case in the whole world...right??
In my area Wilson's presence is pretty weak (similar to Dunlop, maybe less), and I've only seen Prince twice since I've been playing tennis around here...and the guys were from another area :).
Yes, surprisingly enough Fischer and Dunlop are way more present than Prince, and pretty much on par with Wilson around here.
Head is..."head and shoulders" :) above anybody else, followed by Babolat.

Well, I think people were double-voting for Dunlop on my poll. Also, there just happen to be a strange amount of Dunlop admirers on this site for some reason.

Really? Double voting must be "it" ... there's a Dunlop conspiracy on the TT boards...:roll:... there's no way people are actually using those damn racquets.

I'm currently using Volkl by the way, or at least stating I do ... but secretly playing with a Babolat :roll:
 
I have played with rackets from a lot of the manufacturers
Favorites are
Wilson Kramer Pro Staff
Dunlop Maxply
Head Pro
Dunlop 200 G
Yonex Super RD Tour
Volkl V1 Classic
Volkl Tour 8
Boris Becker 10
Volkl PB 9
 
HEAD. I would try Babolat, but I don't want to waste money on a racket, when i'm still not really sure what I like. Plus, pretty much every casual player here uses Babolat, so weird.

I can't stomach myself to using Babolat. Just about all of their racquets are taper beamed and they just look and feel a bit strange to me.

Nice to know Dunlop is running even with Prince. Prince can't even keep their pro players happy. At least Dunlop knows when to dump and re-acquire players without making a bunch of redundant lines.
 
Used Wilson till 2001, then switched to Slazenger Pro Braided and currently playing with Slazenger Pro X1.
 
Head forever head was my first racket ever and just love there lines of rackets. yay head is winning take that babolat lol
 
I have to say I'm a brand loyalist so I use a Wilson K Factor K Six.Two racquet currently but really think that it is not THE greatest racquet ever. Been wanting to try a Babolat and Prince. :)
 
babolat aerprodrive gt

loving this racket it has took my game to a whole new level i only been playing for about 4 1/2 months and am ranked a 3.5 .
 
Babolat currently. I started with head 630, 660->wilson hammer tour->pdr->pdgt. But im thinking about switching to yonex (rdis 300)
 
I've been with Vantage (see sig for specs) for several years and my game is much better because of it. I have been able to focus on everything BUT my equipment and it has really helped with my on-court success. Vantage makes quality frames, they are great on my arm, and their customer service is second to none. Also, by not switching racquets over the years I have saved quite a bit of money.
 
Volkl at the moment. One of those V-Engine rackets.

Starting to feel it's weight though. Thinking of giving Babolat a whirl.
 
Currently a Head man (but have a long history of switching up):

Head Monster Combi Bag:
(in bag):
2 - MG Prestige Mids (starter)
1 - MG Rad OS (relief pitcher)
1 - Agassi Ltd Ed Radical (for fun)
2 - Yonex RDiS 100 Mid (will call up from the minors if necessary)

(in closet):
1 - Yonex Bag
1 - Yonex RDS002T
1 - Dunlop MaxPly McEnroe
1 - AG100
1 - Dunlop HM 200g
1 - i.Prestige MP
1 - FXP Prestige MP XL
1 - ProStaff (6.0 - 85)
1 - TiRadical OS
1 - POG Mid
2 - Aerogel 4D 300T

Recently got rid of:
1 - Yonex RDS001 Mid
1 - Yonex RQiS1 Tour XL
 
BTW, used to be a Wilson man but got soo tired of buying pairs where the variation in weight/balance made them feel like completely different frames.

Previously owned Wilsons (now gone):
K6.1 Tour - 1
NBlade 98 - 2
Pro Staff Tour 90 - 2
Pro Staff 6.0 (95) - 1
HPS 7.1 Zone - 2
HPS Surge - 1

Demo'd the BLX Tour (90) and REALLY liked it, but I cannot bring myself to trust Wilson's QC (especially @ that price point). Besides, I'm not playing badly with my Prestiges.

If Dunlop would have kept making the HM200g; I'd probably still be a Dunlop man. The 4D200 (18x20) has a nice feel off the stringbed, but it's a little too sluggish.
