Which of these racquets should I choose?

[aulenbacher]

I play with babolat aeropro drive, but i want to change it, big flat and kick serve, spin on both wings, like to make angles, serve volley some times, trying to volley more often.
These 4 are my options, babolat pure storm team standard, pure control team standard, head flexpoint radical, flexpoint prestige.
Which of these would work better for my game, my flat serve?
Im playing at national level 15 yars old, im tall

Flexpoint prestige 93. It is light and can manuver around at the net well.

i wouldnt think presige 93 would be much good to be honest, he says he like to play spin and plays angles, and 18x20 on a 93 is a very dense pattern! out of your suggestions i'd think pure storm would be the best fit coming from an aeropro drive, dunlop mfil 300 is also very popular, though you may want to add some weight.

have you demo'd the head microgel radical ?

ive demo'd it and it plays pretty well, its light packs a lot of power and easy to maneuver. or maybe a prince 03 ?

[westy]

i havent, but i'd like to. o3's are said to create a lot of spin due to the holes, but feel is very muted, which some like, but some dont

[Nubi]

i tried the o3 tour , and the o3 white, both have like u said a "muted" feel or in other words.. no resistance to it, its like im swinging a chopstick in the air but good for spin :)

Aulenbacher:

Based on your style, I would say the Head Flexpoint Radical 98. Give it a demo and report back!

I have an O3 Red and added some lead tape...no more "airy" feeling :) The holes give a nice large sweetspot and my natural/synthetic hybrid set pockets the ball nicely. I find it to be maneuverable at the net and good from the baseline as well.

The O3 Black is one that not only looks good but feels good and allows a lot of movement in the stroke.

For you my friend, demo them all in one day that you are going to be hitting a lot of balls, and then you will know what to go for.

One day can be tiring. When you demo you ideally want to play with a racquet for several days. even weeks.

Way back I was looking to switch from the Triple Threat Bandit I happened to start playing with an old volkl dnx 10 (My racquets both popped and a friend lent me his for a week). 92 sq inch head back then. We're talking a difference from a 110 racquet to a 92. (I know this is drastic but there's a point to it) Initially I absolutely hated the racquet and was playing horribly but within a few days I learned the ins and outs and learned to love it. Eventually it transitioned me to the LM radical mp but my point is to give different racquets a chance.

Best of luck!

Oh and the Radicals kick butt!!! (prestige may be a little bit too stiff unless you play around with the tension/strings)

Wow, this thread is ancient...whatever happened to aulenbacher ?

[alidisperanza]

Woah, lol you're right. I didn't think to look at the dates >.< my bad
