Regarding Babolat I have no real experience with their rackets, so I really cannot give any accurate information , what I do know their previous generations were arm breakers, ALOT of people bought them for their so called 'power' boost, it came at a price....tennis elbow. For me that is a deal breaker.
However I have heard alot of positive reviews for their new series especially the Pure Storm GT series......I am thinking about getting 1 to try and see for myself, but I think I will look for it 2nd hand or 3rd hand lol :-p
I have heard the control is very good, I like 'control' rackets with no power as I rather use my technique and 'stomach' for power hahahaha.
i tried pure storm gt strung at 55lbs once with poly and another time with multi.....i felt it was like papan:) and it does not go well with my elbow issue.....maybe if strung lower than 50lbs would have been better but i wont know:) im not a babolat fan in terms of the stiffness feel, but i do like their swing weights, its light compare to their claimed overall weight.
yeah babolat got lots of control due to its stiffness (if anyone do not understand why stiff give better control - google it) and yeah, since bro prae is good in tennis, he will be able to produce power off himself:)
im always a head fan since they have racquets with stiffness lower than 60 RDC.....which is good for my arm......wilson kblade team also flexible but too much power for my free swinging pattern.....maybe will start trying technifibre to see how their racquet fare........

Just curious I read that during the ATP Malaysian Open the main sponsors were Wilson and Tecnifibre, regarding Tecnifibre did they show case their new string Tecnifibre X- Code its available in Europe and now tennis-warehouse USA.
Anyone with access to this string, please post your review and the price, thanks in advance.
