Has anyone played with these custom rackets? I am so tempted to buy one! The thing is that they don't have demos and you can return the racket....…Continue

M.G. replied to Doreen's discussion 'Where to shop for tennis rackets in SoCal'"that's rite.. that's another great store... but they only take cash there no? I bought a used Wilson PS Classic 6.1 there!"
M.G. replied to Doreen's discussion 'Where to shop for tennis rackets in SoCal'"i agree with joe.. they have an area in their rackets area ( to the left) where they have rackets at discounted prices and pre-strung..."

"man thats funny... i figured he was an ass.. but doesn't look like that since he took a pic with u!"
Tim Prapong replied to M.G.'s discussion 'Angell Sport'"Ah, that was my suspicion, they were connected to Vantage. Well, have fun and lead to your heart's content!"
M.G. replied to M.G.'s discussion 'Angell Sport'"So I was able to get a demo of this racket on ebay. Angell Sports used to Vantage Custom rackets but that's another story... I leaded up the racket almost to my specs ( i ran out of lead tape) and I played a quick set with a friend....…"
Mark Dalli replied to M.G.'s discussion 'Angell Sport'"If you know what you like regarding weight and balance, there is a program to morph existing frames......ahhh for technology."
Tim Prapong replied to M.G.'s discussion 'Angell Sport'"Have you demoed the Head IG Radical Pro or IG Prestige Pro? How about the Tecnifibre 325 VO2 max? The last two I recommend. The Radical Pro is very good too.
Go with what you know, not what you see. No demo, no moolah. lol"
M.G. replied to M.G.'s discussion 'Angell Sport'" i hear ya Tim... I really think this guy could have demos..that's why I haven't pulled the trigger I think it would improve sales for him...but on other forums people talk about great these rackets hit.. granted they aren't many…"
Tim Prapong replied to M.G.'s discussion 'Angell Sport'"You also gotta ask yourself, why isn't a pro using them? Not the top pros, but any pro?"
Tim Prapong replied to M.G.'s discussion 'Angell Sport'"Dude, I definitely would not buy the racquet without having a demo. Unless you are willing to gamble that money away. It looks like it would just play like a Pro Kennex old school. lol"

- Thanks, M.G.! Morten is one of my two top singles partners. That was certainly the best set we've played against each other. I had that topspin backhand waiting for his slice serve this time around. He's a tricky player.
