I'm soooo out of touch. Haven't played due to injury from futsal.
Been contemplating a new racket though. What's a good pro racket nowadays?
wow, pro racquet meaning ure a pro:)
well u can start off by surveying in tennis warehouse on the specs that are near to your current racquet, from there go demo your friends racquet as well. cant recommend the exact stick as different people have different liking on weight distribution, feel, brand, paint job, strings combination, grips combination, which pro use it and etc.
but to make it simple there are few racquets that gear heads would want regardless what their spec, those are:
Nadals racquet - aero pro drive GT, heard theyre are clearing it off for new paint jobs to come in 2012, very light swing weight for a heavy racquet
Federers racquet - BLX 6.1 tour, only pro players can wield this racquet and if youre strong and consistent, its good for you, this one have to find and theyre clearing it off as well for 2012 new paintjob
Serena williams racquet - BLX Blade Team - flexible racquet with good sweetspot, weight are ok for an average malaysia, unless ure those bulky big and strong macho man then might be too light for you
Serena williams previous racquet - Kfactor Blade Team - "about" the same as above but with cheaper cheaper cheaper price, but old model la, depend on you whether u like everything up to date like your IOS or Windows.....if dont mind its a good racquet to start
these are the few, there are more depending on your budget, injury, colour and brand favouritism, etc......go look for the guys in here, they are very friendly and helpful bunch and they have loads of knowledge about racquet spec as well......
