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

If at first you don't succeed, you fail.

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...

Where did you get it from? And did you try before you buy?

I know somewhere you could have got it for £115 with a free racquet bag or a dozen balls for free.

WTF Andrew, I looked at the websites you recommended and then decided on a different one. If I could have got it for £115 then why didn't you tell me that website as well! Crying or Very sad

I got it from Sweatband.com, I get all my balls from there. They are not bad although once I had to get Trading Standards to investigate them so I could get something refunded but that was years ago.

And no I have not tried it yet but I don't have any experience with different racquets so I'll probably be happy with it.

I did, look at post no 77 of 'Choosing the right grip size'!

It's got a 98 square inch head size, so if you've moved down from the iRadical, you might frame the ball a bit more at the start as you get used to the racquet.

Was tempted to buy this last year, glad I went with the Head Microgel Extreme - but might consider Babolat in future years. Smile

I definitely would give them a go. My forehand seems to have got even more bite to it with this stick.
