Hello bro, u can look for ray fung, he may be able to help u if budget permits

when ure consistent during stroke, ur game play consistency will follow, take one step at a time bro, dont run when ure learning to walk.

BTW, im selling a k pro open racquet:) rm270, condition good with strings and cover, its used:)

Tennis Warehouse wrote: Light and maneuverable, the KPro Open is well suited to players who like to generate a lot of racquet head speed.

We found an excellent response from this racquet on faster swings - such as big groundstrokes and serves.

The KPro Open offers a softer feeling response compared to other racquets in its class.

From all areas of the court we found improved comfort compared to the nPro Open.

Well suited to the modern game, players with extreme grips will love the lightning fast mobility and spin friendly response of this racquet.

We found plenty of room left for the player to supply power without over-hitting, even when swinging aggressively. At net our TW playtesters continued to find a mobile response with a crisp and clean feel at contact.

As from the baseline, our testers found good directional control on volleys. All in all, this is an appealing racquet for aggressive players who can exploit its spin potential and mobility.

Well, i was using head radical intelligent oversize before that, always have been with head racquets:) since im a fan of fed, thought of trying Wilson out, but after experiencing the quality inconsistency of wilson racquets, I kinda like "ah well, lets go back to head".

thats why lor, but as some will say, nothing is permanent la, so lets see what head can do for me:)

GUys,

Speaking of racquets, i am currently using Head's Crossbow 10.
However i received alot of criticism regarding me using this racquet.
THey said it was for beginners as the racquet frame was oversized and if i want to improve i should change my racquet.
Whats your take on this guys?
Lemme know what you think wink.gif

it doesn't matter about other criticism. As long as you can play consistently and can be competitive in matches, it is good for you to stick with your preferred racquet.

bare in mind that Agassi is still using an OS racquet and I think nobody can rate him as beginner as he is one of few people that completed the career slam.

I don't think crossbow is a racquet meant for beginner as its quite costly right?

I think its more suited for older players or casual women players as you don't need to generate so much of your own power.

But if you can play great with it, it doesn't matter what racquet you are using.

tested once b4, suitable for short stroke coz u no need to generate power, the racket can provide for u.
with a tag price on nearly 1k, i don't think its a beginners racket.

Haha it is quite costly.However the large head frame is what makes them say so.
And the players who told me that said are very experienced so i wouldnt dare to say there are wrong, since their comments are only with the intention for me to improve.

But maybe your rgiht it is more suited for player who cant generate their own power....
But i already bought the racquet it would be a heart-ache to just suddenly change it T_T

Tada!!!! refurbished, new 17g strings @ 55lbs, new replacement grip, new overgrip, YAN! time to be the ultimate wall and this time the wall will hit back:)

user posted image

abit of review hehe, tried with 16g synthetic babolat at 53lbs and some unknown grips.....

basically a racquet for swing happy player where it provides control, need to be more aggressive as it does not give as much power as those oversize or thick beam stick. really need to be precise on this as off centre hit will make the ball fly in different directions or a weak return. though feels heavy holding it but the swingweight is quite light:)

The Head Grip is made different from wilson.....Wilson is rounder whereas head is more toward rectangularish type.

I'd highly recommend each person buy 2 tubes of balls if you have 15 people you have 90 balls, trainer balls I would suggest for beginners, you guys are almost intermediate level lah.
