Which of these should I demo?

Hewitt rulez

Semi-Pro
Im wanting to demo 3 midsized frames this summer.

Liquidmetal Prestige
Flexpoint Prestige
Prince Tour Diablo
Yonex RDS 001
Yonex RDX 500
Volkl Tour 10 V-Engine

Right now im 100 percent sure I want to demo the LM Prestige. For the other 2 im leaning towards the Diablo and either RDS or Volkl Tour 10 VE.

Feel free to also make other suggestions.

Thanks.
 
well anyways i would suggest the prince diablo and volkl and yonex rds001. i also suggest the wilson ncode tour 90 and dunlop mfil200 and as always prostaff 6.0 85.
 
What level are you and what type of player are you?

I've tried almost all those racquets and for me the POG MP really hit the sweet spot.
 
Id want flexpoint prestige, used lm prestige! and rds, used rdx! So maybe try the newer models of thm prestige has bags of power but mid rdx or rds 90 head may be a bit small i reccomend midplus, id also try volkl but iv never used one!
 
If you are going to demo only 3 mids and don't know exactly what specs you're looking for (as it would appear), it would be a sensible idea to choose ones that offer a diverse range of specs. Eg:

LM - flexy (but not a soft feel), high swingweight, 18x20
Diablo - stiffer, high (ish) swingweight, 16x20
RDX500- flexible, low swingweight, 16x18
t10 VE mid- flexible, low swingweight, 18x20

Although each will have a unique feel you'll at least get an idea of the difference a change in flex, string pattern and swingweight can make. If, after doing that, you found that you enjoyed a firmer racquet like the Diablo but preferred a lower swingweight then you could try the POG mid (firm and moderate swingweight) which is a reasonable compromise between the two. If you prefer flexible and a moderate swingweight then the ProKennex Redondo would be worth investigating.
 
I've been using diablos as my main stick and I love em. Definantly control oriented with some pop.

Andrew. I am looking for a flexible frame.It doesn't cost that much more to demo 4 so i think im going to demo 4 racquets. My current racquet is a NXG MP. I think Im going to demo the LM, T10 VE,Diablo, and RDS. I want to demo the Diablo because I have heard great things about it and the RDS because I have heard it is a more powerful version of the RDX. I have demoed the RDX before and liked it except I thought it was a little underpowerd.

Seems like by your racquet choice, your a flat hitter, but coming off from an nxg, your going to be used to alot of spin.

If your looking for a flexible frame, might wanna try the 03 tour
 
I haven't hit with these, but I have strung them. The Flexpoint Prestige sure has a nice feel when swinging it around. Seems easy to swing, yet with enough mass it should be solid to hit with.
 
Give the Volkl Tour 10 VE Mid a try. Very smooth and volleys great. I've demo'd alot of racquets and kept coming back to the Volkl's. :)
 
The Volkl, RDS, and the Diablo seems a pretty good choice. The RDX just doesn't feel right when you hit the ball and the pestige has basically no feel on it.
