Which Racquet Will I Choose?

[TripleB]

I've been demoing the Prince Diablo Mid, Prince Diablo Midplus, Volkl Tour 10 V-Engine Midplus, and the Yonex RDX-500 Midplus for about 5 days now with the Diablo Mid rising to the top of the heap (by a large margin).

It's practically like my POG mid with a more solid feel, better pop on serves/forehands, better control, and less spin potential.

{some of the above may be atributed to my POG being strung with Luxilon Big Banger ALU Power 16L and the demo with Prince Synthetic Gut w/duraflex....as well as difference in string tension}

A buddy of mine wanted me to order him two demos (Shark and NXG) and said I could order me two and put them on his bill. I decided to order the Wilson nCode nSix-One 95 and the Diablo mid again (so I can compare both to my POG mid). {the demos should be to me around October 8th}

As a preliminary activity to this, I've decided to take a poll so I can see what your thoughts are on the outcome of this last demo session (at least for the year).

With which racquet do you think I'll end up buying/using next?

Before last night I would have agreed with the 9 of you (out of 12 so far) that say I'm not going to leave the POG mid....BUT....after the feel of many of the volleys I hit last night in doubles I'm less sure about that.

I'm not sure if it was the string (Luxilon Big Banger ALU Power 16L) or the racquet itself, but the feel of the ball coming off the face of my POG mid when I was at net was horrible - - - it never felt or sounded solid (even when I hit the center of the string bed).

I'm not sure if it's because I never really took the time to be concerned about how it felt of if it was just the fact of comparing it side by side another racquet, but it was just not a solid feel at all.

I may remain with the POG mid, but I don't seem to be as comfortable with it now that I've tried the Diablo Mid.

FWIW, even though you've been high on the Diablo Mid the last few days, it wasn't about to win the vote, since it wasn't a poll option. Of those presented, I saw the POG as far and away the most likely choice.
