Which of this racquets will suit my game better?

[Tour_G]

Hi guys, I need some advice here, I want to make THE DECISION

Let's start: I'm 20 years old and I have been playing tennis since I was 13, always helped by a coach (An unknown former pro). Along this years, I tested lot of racquets, but I think that now I really know what I want.
I'm currently playing with a Head Ti Radical MP with Babolat leather grip, overgrip and Babolat O dampener, strung with Solinco Tour Bite at 52 pounds. It plays amazingly well but I'm looking for some more forgiveness response in defensive shots, some that could help me a little more. My idea is to buy 2 o 3 equal frames, just to forget about equipment and starting to focus more on technique.

What I like:
Racquets as (In no particular order):
-Head Ti Radical MP (Obviously)
-Wilson K Six One 95 18/20 and K Six One Tour 90
-Head TGK 238.4 (YT Prestige MP)
-Wilson Pro Staff 95 (customized)
-Yonex V Core Tour G 310

What I DON'T like:
Basically, tweeners (ugh )

So, this is a list that I did, based on my thoughts:

-Babolat Pure Strike 18x20 (I know, it's still unavailable, but we could use the oldest one and the newest PO7 as reference).

-Babolat Pure Strike VS (It will be the same as the Pure Control GT).

-Yonex Duel G 310. (For now, the preferred one).

Then, there is some other frames, but they will need some modifications.
For example:

-Wilson Pro Staff 97 S
-Wilson Blade 18x20
-Babolat Pure Aero VS

All of this racquets need some lead in the handle to make them more HL, which obviously will increase SW, but if it's something that I could move, there is no problem.

-Angell TC 97: I know this is probably the best option, BUT, I'm on Argentina. If I buy it to the UK + ship + taxes.... is too expensive.

Last clarifications:

I can't demo
Feel free to ask whatever you want if that can help me.
If you want, add racquets to the list.
And sorry for the long post, but this is important for me (in terms of tennis).
(I may have some typos, sorry).

Thanks in advance!
Saludos!

Have you tried adding a bit of lead in the head of your ti.radical? Might give you that bit extra power on defensive shots?

Also as someone who grew up playing ti.radical/i.radicals then progressing to prestiges I have now settled on the Speed Pros. My favourite being the Graphene Speed Pro but have also been hitting with the new Speed Pro Touch's and liked them too.

Sorry, I forgot to tell you how is my game.

I'm right-handed, I have a semi-western forehand and one handed backhand.
Most of the time, I play on baseline but in an agressive form. I like to attack every sinlge ball when I can. I dictate points with my forehand, moving the rival side to side to close the point with a volley.
I also do some serve and volley, sometimes. I really enjoy this.

Due to the balance of the Radical, I think if I put some lead at the hoop it will be difficult to move properly and I couldn't generate enough RHS. It will be to much weight and SW for me.
Furthermore, as I said before, I want to buy 2 o 3 new racquets, the grommets of the Radical are in bad condition.

Related to new Head line, I'm sorry to tell it but I don't like at all the polarized balance. In fact, when I tried GSP, it hurt my elbow.

Thank you for the answer!

Him Dunlop Biomimetic 2.0 is 60 USD on here. 11.7 oz 95 sq inch head. Seems like it can fit you. I have one. I usually do not dabble in the racquets under 98 but I like it much more than the dreaded Pure Drive Roddick

If you want several frames which are equal in spec, your best bet by far will be the Yonex.
The other manufacturers have such poor quality control that you could be very frustrated trying to match frames. Even matching services like TW offers can't match everything because there are too many variables; mass, sw, balance, flex, weight distribution and even things like length and grip size could be off from one frame to the next.

which ever one you play better with...

 

[heninfan99]

what do you mean by "forgiveness response"? Do you mean turning defense into offense off one shot???

 

[sma1001]

Why not pick up a couple of Tour Gs? They are on discount now I believe.

I mean, something that could help me a little more in defensive situations, like hit a deeper ball if that is possible.

It's a great racquet for me, but I don't like the heavy throat, it makes the racquet cumbersome.

oh, well, that would be a pure drive

Yeah, maybe Yonex will be the best option.
