Hi

I am new here and I am searching for a new raquet because my old racquet is broken Embarassed

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 Shocked

... 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 Very Happy

Hi Kai, and welcome to the forum. Very Happy

Could you perhaps tell us what racquet you used previously, and what you liked and disliked about it? Thanks.

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. Wink
