What Racket out of these should I get Prince Ozone Tour MP Prince SpeedPort White Wilson KSix - One Tour Wilson K Blade Babolat Aero Pro Drive Babolat Aero Pure Drive Roddick?

Answer 1

Racket choice is a personal decision. I can only recommend that you go to your local tennis shop and ask them about demoing a racket.

My method of finding new rackets is as follow: Determine which rackets to demo, demo two of the rackets on my list play at least a good match with each racket. After having played a match take a day off and then repeat until all rackets have been demoed. While playing with the rackets, note where your shots are landing on the court, how much spin you are able to generate and how well you serve or volley. After having tested all of the rackets, try to narrow your decisions to two rackets. Then, play with each of the rackets and make your decision.

Another method if you don't quite know what kind of racket you are looking for (head size, grip size, weight, balance, etc.) is to take a visit to your local tennis shop or club (NOT A MAJOR RETAIL CHAIN). Be sure to take your old racket in with you and have an idea of what you want your new racket to accomplish. Another good thing to be prepared with is a brief description of your playing style and how you hit your shots. With that knowledge, the salesperson will be able to guide your search towards rackets that are designed for a player of your type.

Babolat is a reliable company. I recommend getting it. Fischer racquets are also something to look at. All of them are pretty good. (Babolat Racquets are really light and give and impressive amount of power for their weight.

Also, the rackets you have mentioned all seem to be the rackets currently used by the pros on tour. I can say from experience that only a choice number of players are able to "handle" rackets of that design. The rackets are very unforgiving and can do serious damage to your arm if not played correctly (I say this as I am icing my shoulder from having an off night with the Wilson K-6.1 Tour). Seeing as you are wondering what racket to buy I assume that you are rather new to the sport. If this is true you should definitely stay away from these rackets. at least until you have been playing for a while.

Hope I've helped,
