Quote from tennisplayer123 : IDK, I found it to be ok, the sweetspot felt tiny to me, and was a bit too stiff. I mean my mains, 2012 PDR, are stiffer, but I found it to not fit my game well. Good price for the racquet though.

You may be right that it doesn't fit everybody, after all which racket does?! I tried an older PDR when I was looking for the best racket for me, and it was my coach's recommendation but it just didn't fit me for some reasons, I couldn't get a power shot with a spin at the same time! they ended up either in the net or wide. The prince, a bit heavy though, gave me sweet 2H backhand and allowed me a good volley at the net. The only one, as I said, that I found to give me even more control over the Prince with some extra power ( probably cos it was only 8 HL vs 11 HL in Prince) was the Babolat Pure Storm Ltd http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/B...PSLTD.html . Anyway, you already helped me finding it with your comments in the other TW deal!

Any racquet recommendations for a good power/top-spin hitter? 4.5 player.

Thanks!

I found this one to be really good http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/P...XOI95.html , obviously it wasn't the same for everybody, but for me it gave me the control I needed to be able to hit the power shots that I like without having half of them wide!

Quote from Boding : Not true. You should go for an even balance or slightly (1-3 pts) head heavy.

yea this is correct

good lord is it still down cant get in

I am not into this sport very much but I am curious to learn. What is the number everyone is posting like 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 4.0 player? Is it number/level for racket or number/level for player?

TIA

The numbers are NTRP ratings for skill level. The ratings are described here [usta.com]. However, while a 2.5 and 3.5 have a difference of 1.0, the difference in skill level isn't as drastic as comparing a 4.5 and 5.5.

Hey all,

Found this by mistake, but pretty cool.

Y105 racquet with free shoes and free stringing - $53.02
Z105 racquet with free shoes and free stringing - $83.02

Follow these Steps:

1. Add a racquet that comes with the free Babolat shoes...
Y105: http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/B...Y105S.html
Z105: http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/B...DZ105.html

2. Select your shoe size (there are only 11.5 and 12.5, but still add them even if that's not your size) and add to cart.

3. Go to this link: http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/a...ysale.html

4. Click on any of the sub-categories on the right in the anniversary sale.

5. Check out and you'll actually get a 40% discount on the free shoes, so an extra $15.98 off the total order

Free 2 day shipping if you add a few items and get the total over $75, so add fillers. Go find some more items in the 20th anniversary sale and you'll get 40% off those too.

Great deal on some pretty dang good racquets. I am also sure there is some other "free this with this" promotion that this will work for, but I was looking for a babolat racquet so this is the only one I came across.

Happy hunting.

Yet a 5.5 would easily destroy a 4.5...

ah, M-i-s-t-a-k-e is like mentioning he-who-must-not-be-named in harry potter.

What about a 1.0 level? That's where I consider myself but is not on the list

Worked for me. Good deal!
