<p>i'd steer you to the prince line but again it's a matter of preference and price. most pro shops have a demo program .right now would be a great time to buy since the 2012's are coming out. like i said i agree with most of the replies. spend a few dollars demoing. it's better to lose a few dollars trying it out than invest money into something you might ending up not liking.</p>
<p>it never hurts to ask. there is no such thing as a stupid question.</p>

i wanted a perfect racket for me, i looked at a small head and the over sized head. <strong>100 sq inches-110 sq inches.</strong> i found out that a 100 sq in racket required the player skill level advanced 4.5 range the 110sq in is used by some professionals.so my range would look like <strong>105 sq in -109 sq in</strong> and <strong>107 sq inches</strong> would satisfy me and i was right. with natural gut and strung for power i am lovin it!

<p>Cool. Thanks for ALL of the feedback, folks! I stopped by Sports Authority because it happened to be near where we were today and learned that I have a Size 2 grip. They showed me a few Prince, Head and Babolat -- all of which felt nice. I don't have the specs with me now...I'll report later when I locate them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>From what I gather, I think that I'm enough of a non-expert who needs power, such that I could use an oversized head.</p>

<p>In any event, I'm not in a big hurry and so will definitely continue to do research, check out TW, find friends that will let me borrow their racquets (although that's tough because my grip size is so small).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm very excited to be playing again and being part of this online community is definitely helping that excitement along!</p>

Hi Ivan, TW's demo program is pretty inexpensive, so I don't believe the shipping costs are credited towards purchase. I got more information from TW, that the strings they use are typically ones provided by the manufacture, synthetic. If a poly is used, it's strung mid-range, minus 2 pounds.

<p>The thing about demoing rackets is that you will need to purchase rackets from them at full price if you don't want to lose your credit. I guess that's okay too, but there are better alternatives.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What I did was I just tried my friends' rackets or any people that I met that would let me use their rackets for a while. Then I looked at ebay or forums for better prices once I found the ones I like.</p>

<p>Also TW forum has pretty good deals. I got 2 Wilson Kobra Tours for $85 shipped. On ebay they're like $80 new each. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But yeah, make sure you try it somewhere else first. </p>

Prince o3 white........easy to use, lots of spin and power....all the brands have a number of rackets in this area as has ben said but prince have a lot of variety.
