I am searching for a new raquet, can anyone help me ??Hi
I am new here and I am searching for a new raquet because my old racquet is broken 
okay I will start: my forehand is really good.... I can hit the ball very hard with and without topspin but my backhand is the worst ever  ... I play the backhand most of the time with double handed slice ...... my 1st serve is good but my second serve is bad ...... my best shot is stop&lob and my worst shot is backhand...... my volleys are good too exspecially the backhand volley.....
okay I think thats all

Hi Kai, and welcome to the forum. Could you perhaps tell us what racquet you used previously, and what you liked and disliked about it? Thanks.

Do you remember what model the racquet was? If you kept hitting the ball short, it might have been a bit too control-oriented for you... would your arm ever get tired after 30 min or so? |

no sorry I cant remember the model or something ..... no but the last time I played I cant use my racquet becuase it was/is broken ....

Well in that case I'm sure you don't remeber the string you were using or the tension. But in any case maybe you could look into a more power oriented racket (for example the Hyperhamer series from Wilson). | ||||||

I'm going to give you two suggestions... they are about the same. The first is the Head MicroGEL Extreme Racquet (http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/descpageRCHEAD-HMGX.html). It is not too heavy, the head size is rather forgiving (100 sq.), and the extra length (0.25 inches) gives you more power. The open string pattern also allows for lots of spin production. $159. The second is the Head Flexpoint Radical Racquet (http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/descpageRCHEAD-FPR.html). It's a very nice racquet. The midplus and the oversize feel a bit differently, though.
I suggest you try them out before purchasing either one. If you don't like them, you can always tell us what you didn't like about it (Ex. too heavy), and we can perhaps find another racquet for you.

Hahaha!!! Benchie is talking about Prince rackets but still used the link for the Head Liquidmetal Radical. He is not biased at all! As far as Xdoublea is concerned, he does not even aknowledge any other racket if it is not a Head.
Here is the link for the Prince TT warrior http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/descpage.html?PCODE=TTW I personally have a Prince and a Dunlop. |
