I prefer light rackets as well Allan. That Babolat was verging on 12 and a half ounces! It's more of a club than a racquet. I need something maneuvarable and I think this Head is just that. For all you racket afficionados it's a Flexpoint racquet.

I got my racket today guys. It wasn't the Babolat that was posted above but it was a nice silver Head racket.  Almost 11 oz and I think it's a beauty.  WOOHOOO!! You got it!!!  ..I still prefered the Babolat and am going to get it.  Ah well. Head vs Babolat - bring it on.

well... i think racket weight you like depends on your level of play... light rackets are for 2.0s... mine is fairly heavy... love the topspin i get offa the sucker too... my sister can't return heavy topspin... but then again... she sucks arse at tennis...

Head is better than Babolat in my humble opinion.

I think maneuvrabillity is so important with rackets as well. I tried coming to the net more last night and it definately worked.

but you can still have a 13 ounce racket be maneuverable as long as it is head light... my racket is pretty much evenly balanced...
