Which companies racquet head shape fits your game best?

[snoopy]

I've played with racquets from Wilson, Head, Prince, Pro Kennex, Dunlop, Volkl, and Yonex and although my experiences aren't exhaustive I think Dunlop's racquet head shape suits my game best. The head seems to be slightly lareger at the top like Prince's but not as extreme. The Dunlop shape provides a sweetspot that is located medium to low on the racquet head.

I played better (at the time) with the F200 than I have with any other racquet I've used. The inverted bridge rocked!!!!!

Preach it, TripleB!! You speak the truth!. Rossis also had my fave all-time grip shape.

i really don't notcie nor care the head shape difference.

 

[AlpineCadet]

the answer should clearly be Yonex. no opinions, just facts.

I'm surprised Yonex is so high up there with Wilson and above everything else. Yonex doesn't seem to be that popular of a brand among the players I've seen, and I wouldn't think too many people grew up playing with Yonex since it isn't all that easy to get a hold of. Anyway, I voted Wilson. I love the PWS. If I didn't vote Wilson, Dunlop would be my second choice.

not everyone likes the squarish shape of yonex rackets, however it is a fairly good innovation from the company. the shape does not matter to my eyes, but the sweet spot does.

my next one will most likely be a yonex, the same as my badminton racket.

tecnifibre for me. i love the t-fight 335, 320, etc. headshape

 

[dunlopjew]

dunlop is the only way to go for me. love every aspect of the mfil 200 and 300's including the head shape.

Besides Yonex I don't really even notice the difference in head shape. Just the difference in sweetspot.

 

[AlpineCadet]

well, the concept for the Yonex head design is for an increase in sweetspot. check out the "Technologies" section to the right of Yonex rackets on the TW racket reviews.


ISO (Isometric Square Head Shape)

This exclusive Yonex innovation results in a sweet spot up to 48% larger than a traditional oval head shape. According to Yonex, it ensures more power and control with fewer off-center shots.

i'd also have to agree w/ yonex. if i wasnt using a yonex, i probably would have a hard time using a midsize racket. also, the string patterns on the yonexes tend to be a bit more open compared to other companies' rackets w/ same headsize and string pattern.

A little too big for me. I wish Tecnifibre made a midsize 90 sq. in. players frame like the TFight 335 but with a thinner beam.
