Which racquet?

[Ztalin]

I'm buying a new racquet today. There's a racquet sale and the four that they had that I'm considering are LM prestige MP, FP radical MP, rdx 500 MP, and aeropro Drive.

I can produce my own power, that's no problem; I'm a very strong guy. I currently us a Yonex RQ Ti-260 that's leaded up significantly. I'm looking for something with a bit more flex, that's around 12 oz (or leaded up to 12 oz), that can produce a lot of spin (I'm a counter puncher). I'm leaning toward the Yonex, since I'm a huge Yonex fan, but I've heard that it's too flexy? I'm mostly worried about service power. I have very spinny serves; I almost never hit a truly flat serve.. I can't demo them, unfortunately.

Is the RDX the best choice for me? The store doesn't carry the RDS 001, which is the other one that I was going to look at.

Also, with any of these racquets, what should I get it strung at? (prince sg duraflex)

Looking at the list of racquets, I would say you should go with the Babolat Aeropro Drive. I demoed it and it had A LOT of spin to it. It might be a little on the light side but a little lead tape can fix that. Depending on when the sale ends I would demo a racquet somewhere else and then go back and buy it. Or if you dont have any time I would look on tenniswarehouse.com and look at the review of each racquet. I dont know about you but for me price is another big factor. Whatever your pick is; good luck.

The RDX is $20 cheaper than the radical, and $40 cheaper than the aeropro drive and prestige (it's been marked down the most by far). It's $159.99 CAD.

Did you ever demo the RDX 500? According to tennis warehouse, the rdx produces the best spin, and is more of a counter puncher's (percentage) racquet. I think I'll go with that one; just looking for some backup. Only thing I'm worried about is the power on serve.
