I play the Head Microgel Prestige. I like the manueverability, yet the stiffness it provides. I am an all-court player though, prefering to sneak in as much as I can, and this racket gives me the "touch" I like. Consequently, my back up is the Head Liquidmetal Radical for the same reason. I actually get a better feel from that one, so if I am struggling a bit, I will switch off to it. Hope that helps.

It does help! Thanks...My friend has a Radical and after I hit with it I was convinced that I needed something else... I liked it so much more that what I have been using, I thought it felt way more solid.

The Radical is a good racket, however, where you are working heavily on your game, the Prince racket line is probably a better option. They are definitely more forgiving. Might want to consider that.

There are so many great stick out now. I personally use the Wilson 6.1 95 BLX. I'm a hard hitting baseliner so it gives me optimal control and I don't feel like the ball is flying on me. What do you use now? What kind of game style do you have?

The BLX is on my list to try... I play with a Gamma now, it's fine really I just kind of fell into it and never really shopped around... I like to hit hard from the baseline with topspin...but I like the net too... really I just like all of it... I tried a Prince exo3 and didn't really care for it, also tried the Babolat aero, I really liked the solid feel of the Babolat...

If you like the Aero try to Babolat Pure Drive as well. I also like the Head YouTek Extreme as well. They all have similar specs.

I play with the . Adidas Lendl Gtx Pro T. Why do I like it? Because no one else can hit with it but me and Lendl himself... hee heee heee heeee..... Daniele, I would go with Prince. Prince has been around a long time....... You cant go wrong with them. If I didnt play with my adidas racquets I would play with the prince graphite. Look at the one that Maria sharipova plays with.. I'm not sure what model it is but Im sure you could find that out.!!!!

I have the Babolat Pure Drive and they are great but I have just bought the Babolat Pure Storm Tour. Although I have to go pick it up from Roddy at ProAm. The Pure Drive is great but for me, I have a pretty good amount of muscle and don't need the added power of 100 sqin, so I am switching and going with the Pure Storm Tour...heavier and more control.

It looks like you have already made your decision (judging from your recent pictures)? I know it is Babolat, but which one is it? I currently use Babolat Pure Storm GT and like it. Previously, I was using Prince TT Warrior MP and changed to the current one mainly just out of curiosity. I think it fits well my changed back serve (started heavy spin/kick 5-6 years ago, then back to more flat/slice). Funny thing is that Pure Storm feels heavier than TT Warrior although it is actually lighter. Maybe has something to do with the balance.

yah maybe... I have the Babolat Aero Pro Team... absolutley love love love it!! I went through a demo program and learned a lot my other two tops were a vonex and a prince but i don't remember off the top of my head which models. All of them though had a more "board like" feel instead of the "trampoline" feel, I know that's probably an amatureish way to describe that but hopefully you understand whatt I mean ;) haha!
