which racquet gives off the MOST spin?

There has been a lot of racquets over the age but i know the player is the producer of the spin but if you produce spin like topspin, which racquet can generate the most spin?
 
Spectrum Comp 90. Spinniest stick I've played with. And this was strung with PSG 16... And the string job was nowhere near fresh.
 
I went through the reviews on tw and of all the ones I looked at the k90 had the most slice spin at 85. Anyone know of any racquets that rank over 85?
 
Any light racket that has been polarized in it's weight.

So I think the spinniest racket would be the APD (with or without cortex), that came custom with maybe 20 grams less, and you polarized it to the max up to somewhere from 340 to 354 grams. You can go further and get even more spin, but you'd need Nadal's muscles to get the racket going.

My polarized Yonex racket probably produces more spin than any racket out there (stock). Threw in some Luxilon Alu Power Rough at I think 51 pounds, and never missed a groundstroke with the thing.

Spinniest base racket has to be the APD. Ever wonder why Nadal has the spinniest groundstrokes in the history of the sport?... :)
 
something with a head light balance and textured strings.
I get massive spin with the Slazenger pro-X1 and Prince topspin 16g string
 
Any racquet can generate spin if you whip up on the ball like nadal does..

The true test is how much spin you can generate by driving through the ball. Generally flexible, thin beamed racquets do this better.
 
I use a Yonex RQiS 1 Tour with a full bed of ALU roughs at 57lbs, I am happy with the level of spin imparted to the ball (so much in fact that some of my groundstrokes are so spinny that I momentarily change the rate of the earth's rotation.)
 
Yonex RDiS 98,Yonex RDS001 98,RDS002 tour,RDS 003,RQS 1 Tour,but depends if you know how to get all from it.The Yonex 16x19 is just as good for spin as it is for flat balls,kind of weird since it's not 18x20.
Yonex are the best for both worlds.It gives you overall,what no other gives.
 
All specs being equal... I know that's easy to say :), I would think that a frame with a thin beam and an open stringing pattern, will produce more spin than a wider frame, like, gulp... Nadal's APD, because a thin frame would allow more access to the strings. But the good news is that there are a ton of racquets and strings that make spin available. It's like shape skis. It's now easy for anyone... Which, I think, is good for the sport.
 
The exo serious generates a lot of spin, a good difference even compared to the o3 series.

RDiS generates spin but you have to generate so much pace on it to drive the ball deep, not for amateur players.
 
of all the players racquest i've tried, the yellow babolat that nadal uses makes a pretty mean spinning ball.

when i finally hit with it, i was like "ahh, so thats how nadal does it"
 
Spin is a product of rackethead velocity and the angle of ball's trajectory at impact relative to the racket's face. Stringbed properties do not significantly effect spin. So theoretically, within the margins of tennis equipment, whatever racket you can generate the most racket head speed with will give you the most spin.

One of the issues with judging spin is that it is easy to confuse high trajectory arch for "spin". So if a looser stringbed launches the ball at higher angle some may misinterpret that there is now more rpms on the ball.

i think strings are really crucial to spin as well the racket head speed as somebody mentioned.But if you are only looking at frames....

I hear you but as far as my swing goes I can take a prince graphite 2 with 14 mains and a lot of other frames with 18 mains and even 16 mains and there is a significant difference of spin with the same swing.
 
I like how he asked which racquet "gives off" most spin. Like if i picked up that racquet, some "spin" would drip out of it. :)

I've had too much time on my hands once and done an experiment for myself - took a Wilson ROK strung one with skipping every other hole (it was iether 14 or twelve mains, I forget) and compared side by side with normally strung 18x20 ROK.

I didn't see any extra spin at all - the ball was just tough to control because I couldn't flatten it's trajectory out, it kept launching off the stringed at a very high angle.

I make tons of spin from my "very tight" 18x20 stringbed Rebel

Yes, it is a Spaghetti Strung i.prestige.

It's totally illegal, and I'm sure using it any tournament or USTA League would get you DQed!

wot a waste of strings.

At first it wasn't a waste of string, as I have always wanted to try hitting with a modern spaghetti strung racquet.

The total costs of the string was less than $6.00 , however one of the outer mains broke after a warming up with it. Now, it's a waste!
 
The Babolat APDC gives off a crazy amount of spin. From all the racquets I've used, the APDC reigns supreme in spin potential.
 
Of the many rackets I have owned or demoed:
Yonex RQiS 1 Tour
I didn't buy it because I felt the stringbed was unpredictable on my serves, though I probably could have adjusted to it.
 
When i first tried nadal's aero pro, I couldnt believe the spin it gave. At first, I thought it was the poly's that I put in there, but when i swapped them out, I was able to maintain the increase in spin. I dont know what it is about the racket that produces more than the others I have had but it's a very noticeable difference. That said, as one golf pro said to me while looking for clubs: it's the indian, not the arrow.
