What racquet did you change to from Flexpoint Radical Tour?

[kaztennis]

I like my Flexpoint radical tour but I want to see which racquet folks changed to.

So far as far as demoing goes, I like the Aerogel 200 but still narrowing down my selection;

KBlade 98, Becker 11, Prince Ozone Pro Tour, Prince Speedport Tour, Yonex RDS002 Tour, Microgel Radical Pro, Microgel Prestige Pro.

I'm an old school guy and still have my 4 striped Prince Graphite OS and Michael C's graphite. I should try hitting with POG as well....

My main reason for thinking about switching racquets is so I can get something with less metal tingy feel. AG 200 feels soft and solid as a frame!

I didn't get to demo the Babolat Pure Storm Tour Limited Edition nor Wilson Kblade Tour nor the Fisher M Comp 98.

What did you switch too? If you chose others, please name the racquet please.

P.S. I forgot to add K6.1 in the poll... but I don't like the stiffness of the racquet. I used to love the HPS6.1 though.

My immediate frame after the radical tour was a N95

i switched to fischer m pro 98. i tried a hitting again with a flexpoint not to long ago just for kicks and it was a bad sight. I like that i changed

Thanks for the input so far. I would like to try the Fisher M Pro 98...just can't find it at the local tennis shop for demo. I might have to try one from TW!

I loved the radical tour off the ground just couldnt come to terms with serving with it. Also got a bit of elbow pain as I have with every Head racquet I have used.

yea well where are you from? I know a couple big stores on the east coast at least. but i'm sure if you go to fischer tennis website you can find a search engine for shops that carry them.

Dunlop Maxply McEnroe's. The Radical Tours were great sticks, but they gave me forearm pain, so i switched. But the Dunlops were not for me either, so I now use a Babolat APDC and its the best stick i've ever used.

If I need to demo the Fisher racquet, I'll just use TW..thanks for asking where I live though.(Nor. Calif.)

AJK1! I remember reading your post about the radical tours! Yes, I got forearm pains and took me several months last season for me to get my arm back to normal. I'll try the APDC then.

I tried MG Prestige Pro and Dunlop Aerogel 200 and Babolat Pure Storm Limited Edition. My favorite is Aerogel 200 so far.

Thanks for you input everyone. Looking forward for more!

I went directly to the Tecnifibre TF335 open pattern (great frame). In retrospect, the Flexpoint Radical Tour may be the best racquet I have ever used.

I haven't tried the Fisher, ProKennex(Redondo Type C) but so far I like the Dunlop Aerogel 200.

Speed port tour was fun to play with lots of top spin but when hitting balls with pace, it didn't have enough stability with the string tension? on my demo racquet and the AG200 was the solid winner.

Kaztennis, what are the Agassi racquets like?

 

[kaztennis]

The Agassi racquet is more of a old-school type frame but the head size was a little too big for my style so I actually sold most of the except for one. It actually was a bit powerful too. It wasn't bad and for someone around 3.5+ I would recommend it if they like oversize racquet.
I like frames that don't have the metal tingy vibration/sound as I grew up playing graphite racquets. The Aerogel 200 seems comfortable on my arm so I'm currently doing an intensive demo with my friend's.

I went to the Speedport Black form the FXP rad tour but I am considering a change to get something similar to the black just not as stiff. I am thinking of demoing the POG again. I am also considering sending my FXP Rad Tours to bosworth for a prince shape handle modification to give them one more shot because I liked the racquet just hated the grip and a bit of elbow /forearm pain.
