There are plenty of rackets out there for much less money. These oversizes superlight rackets are pretty much the same. Very light with a lot of power if you have a small swing. If you dont then you are more likely to get tennis elbow. 9ounce in my opinion should only be touched by under 5's and over 90's!<br />
The heavier racket the better, more control more power, go as heavy as you can.<br />
Im 38yrs, 190cm and 78kilos my racket weighs in the region of 13ounces (370g) I played for 4 hours yesterday…

Im 38yrs, 190cm and 78kilos my racket weighs in the region of 13ounces (370g) I played for 4 hours yesterday and its my legs that are hurting not my arm. I understand that not all people are as fit as I am but 4 ounce difference in racket is extreme.<br />
The modern day manufacturers want to sell light oversized HH rackets to the public and we a getting suckered! Everyone would play better if they try a heavier midsize racket. 30yrs ago people had no problems weilding 16ounce wooden rackets. Mine doesnt feel heavy as its 9pts HL.<br />
Dont be convinced that these rackets will help your game unless you've got a tiny swing then ok go get yourself a racket for half the price! anyone else have the Babolat…tag:tennisopolis.com,2009-06-09:1869403:Comment:3280372009-06-09T21:03:09.183ZGavinC360http://tennisopolis.com/profile/GavinC360

Question: Is the Y for a junior tournament player? My son uses the Babolat aeropro with 4 1/8 grip. I think his natural grip should be 4 0/8 but 4 1/8 is the smallest they make.

TennisZone - would be interested to hear your thoughts on Prince EXO3 Silver 118 and the Prince EXO3 Red - in fact, would there be an opportunity to share images and specs with tennisopolis users? - hard to discuss holes in the racquet without mentioning the pioneer in this space and O3 technology.<br />
<br />
As for player frames mentioned above - it would be beneficial to players to provide information on the new EXO3 Graphite (93 and 100) and EXO3 Rebel (95 and Team 95) as well - true player frames in…

I'm not the biggest Babolat fan, and I'm not a club player, but if I were a club player, I'd use this racquet.<br />
<br />
For player's racquets, Head and Wilson are the way to go, but I bet your grandma would love the Babolat Y! - Very easy for someone a little older and a little smaller.

don't get me wrong. there are people that will buy that racket. if babolat doesn't over-produce yes the demand will be there. and the price will stay where they want it. but sorry i personally don't use babolat.<br />

I don't know about comparable racquets. - Maybe a Wilson K Three or K Four... but if you go and get a big Head Ti, Crossbow or Prince SP Platinum, you'll notice a big difference.<br/>
<br/>
The Y series is by far, the most solid, controlled oversize I've ever hit with... It doesn't get pushed around by the ball on off-centered hits, and there is like NO risk of tennis elbow.<br/>

who would want to pay $200 + for a racket. there are comparable rackets at a lower price point. i'm not trying to be an expert but in this day and age when money is somewhat tight. consumers are looking for value. i know there will be buyers there but i hope they are thinking twice before they shell out that much $$$.<br />
mayor, would you spend $200 on a racket only to find out it will drop to half within 12 months?
