Consider Your Style of PlayĪ player’s style (or the style they’d like to develop) can influence the type of racquet a player purchases. Keep in mind the above table serves as a general guide to point players in the right direction, but that there’s often quite a bit of overlap in terms of which racquet may be ideally suited for you. To that end, I’ve created dedicated reviews for many of the racquets already, and I’m diligently working on releasing new articles all the time. With the help of this guide, I’d encourage you to narrow down 3-5 that appeal to you and then research them further. In other words, I go beyond a simple list and dive deep into the attributes that make each racquet unique to bring you a practical guide that you can use as a jumping-off point for selecting a new tennis racquet. This guide will give you an overview of my picks for the best racquets on the market, but more importantly, I’ll do my best to provide you with a summary of the “why” behind each racquet’s selection and ranking. However, many players still ask for my opinion and recommendations on racquets worth considering, so I decided to make it official and keep a running list of my favorite tennis racquets each year. Great job on that Babolat, but please do better on the QC lol.I’ve written a lot about tennis racquets to help players better understand the nuances of racquet specifications and performance, and the positive feedback about those resources humbles me. This racquet should not be for any players under 4.0/4.5 as it's an unforgiving racquet, but overall great feeling racquet with spin and control. but the 310gram supposed stock weight is perfect for customization. I did have some lead tape at 12 o'clock to increase swing weight and help me a little with power.īabolat QC has always been pretty bad.mine came in at 314 grams unstrung. Solid on the volleys too- no issue with vibrations or stability (in my case). The 97 sq inch gives me a better feeling when coming through my one handed backhand and when you hit the sweet spot on the forehand, it feels amazing. For me it's like point and shoot when I have the opportunity and it can also produce good spin with the 16x20 string pattern. Very comfortable racquet to use, gives decent power depending on your stringing set up and your technique. Great players racquet Previous racquet : Tecnifibre TFight 305. I would not recommend this for club players. My guess is that the target buyer of these sticks is a picky player that is apt to make modifications anyway, so it fits its role. With a little patience, these can be dialed in to provide one of the most satisfying hitting experiences ever. Queue the tungsten tape and modification tools (e.g., digital scale, balance board, swing weight machine, and the Racquet Modification app from TW University). The good news is that with a light spec and being on the light side of spec, the racquets can be fixed gracefully. For example, my first one came in at the proper weight, but the balance was 4 points more headlight than spec'd, and the swing weight was 20 kg-cm2 below spec. It's gorgeous.ġ) If made to spec, they need more weight in the head to satisfy advance player preferences.Ģ) I have yet to find one that's on spec. As an aside, when it is sitting on the shelf, it is the best looking racquet I've encountered in ~30 years:). However, it's not close to usable in off-the-shelf form. I thoroughly enjoy it's feel, comfort, and spin potential (good, but not exaggerated like a Pure Aero). Great advanced players This racquet is a bit of an enigma. The fact that it provides extremely accurate targeting on your biggest swings is a nice bonus. Ultimately though, the Pure Strike VS does not put a lot of technology between player and ball, giving it the connected feel that many advanced player's crave. Additional features include Control Frame Technology, which adds flexibility to shaft in order to create a more stable and controlled response. Although the feel in the upper hoop is quite firm in stock form, this is easily corrected with softer strings, lower tensions and/or weight strips north of the 3/9 axis. Babolat has also widened the beam at 3/9 o'clock for added torsional stability. For 2022 Babolat updates the Pure Strike VS with a leather grip, giving it a more classic feel with greater ball feedback. Although this is one of the heavier models in the Pure Strike franchise the head light balance keeps it fast, making it great for whipping up spin, flicking shots on the run or staying active at net. As such, it offers outstanding command over the ball. The Pure Strike VS returns ! Updated with a more stable beam construction, the Pure Strike VS offers the most compact and surgical head size in the Pure Strike family.
