Hi Guys & Gals,
I just wanted to gauge anyone's input on a comparison between these 2 racquets. I'm buying one for my little sister (28 years old and fairly athletic.) She's new to tennis, but we've been playing a lot recently over the last few months and she really seems to like it. She's been using a 25$ Wilson Walmart Special, and her birthday is coming up, so I thought I'd grab something nice for a good price and these two are the ones I've narrowed it down to.
She definitely needs to work a lot on stroke development and making good solid contact, so I'm leaning toward the Yonex. They both have their respective companies' "spin" technology and I'm pretty sure they both come in at sub 10 ounces with around 1pt HH balance strung.
Here's what I've considered so far, just gonna list the pros:
Yonex Vcore Si 105
-Larger head size (good for beginners)
-I'm a Yonex guy myself, I can tell her it's cool to not be a sheep and use Wilson/Babolat/Head like everyone else around us
-Apparently a comfy stick to get used to
-Lightweight
Wilson Burn 100LS (Pink)
-Cooler paintjob (she's pretty girly)
-She likes Serena, so she'll probably want to lean toward Wilson sticks
-Also a very comfortable, easy to swing stick
-Also lightweight
Again, I just wanted to get some input from any users of either stick. I'm planning on stringing it w something nice and comfortable, probably leaning toward good ol' prince syngut, but please give some string recommendations also (definitely not polys
)
