Was just wondering, if you play tennis, what racket do you use?
I don't have a personal racket at the moment, I usually burrow my cousins' or from the school. Anyway, I want to own a Yonex RDS 001 xD

Nscode-5? that's a really expensive racket is it good? I've wanted to see how the ncode works but I really prefer head. I have two rackets one head Ti-s4 and one head meatllix 4. The head metallix is amazing it looks crazy in the sun and the shots are hit with almost twice the power of my old racket. If you really need a good racket marui I suggest Prince for light weight power, head for extreme power, wilson for balance, and babalot for speed swings like what Genichirou does in the show. In fact geni has a babalot I think, so does nadal by the way. Roger I think uses wilson k factor.

Well I think geni is from Malaysia, and yeah geni I live in New york so I listed the prices in american dollars. And rackets I thought have an equivalent price around the world regardless of currency.

That's what really suck about rackets though the prices keep fluxuating so you have to make a really good buy or else it's a waste of money. Oh and I played with that racket kira it's great for a moderate swing style.

I use a tripleO or whatever you call it. Not the oversize one though, original was it? It was red...lemme go check. lol.
Prince. That's all I remember.
I have a bunch of rackets people used to buy for me for my birthday present since I was pretty much known for only three things; tennis, band, and art.

They are crazy,
The best pace making rackets avalible the only thing that's bad about them is the power
they lack power but really good for paced shots and extra spin.

my racket is a HEAD Flexpoint 10, and its pretty new since my old prince died away of use. ^_^

Post by shiraishi on Oct 19, 2007 3:41:47 GMT 7
hmm... flexpoint 10? Isn't that an extremly compact swing style? I didn't buy it for that reason because normally short swing styles tend to put more pressure on the elbow and wrist.

LOL. Metallix ten hmmm.... that is a gorgeous racket but 6 is better I believe. I don't understand though... how come the more compact swing style the greater the price? my god anyone here using babolot?
It has an crazy swing speed somewhat like sanada's really amazing racket.

I use three Raquets (2 spare ones, 1 main one) Main - Prince O3 Hybrid Shark OS Spare 1- Babolat Aero Strike Spare 2 - Wilson nCode nStrike ^^ why? the O3 hybrid shark is a bit waste of money, especially if you're using the OS. (nvm your'e a girl). the aero strike and nstrike won't help you. suggesting you should get the same racquets as spares. save a hefty $$ in your pockets too. i guess a hybrid shark is good for a girl, but i really suggest you get another of the same as a spare. that way, you won't need to change your playstyle to compensate. |

well it does determine you're level of play. if you're not a competitive type and only play for fun. use whatever racquet you want. but if you're playing in competitions or whatnot, then changing your playstyle because of different racquets can really hurt you, both in that match and in the long run.

lol. I play at the city district tournaments and such and I always have a different spare. It's hilarious really my opponents think I'm crazy when I pull out my head TI 7. Though I do have a same racket as head metalix 4. I also have the prince "Silver bullet" and the "Blue port" O3. I saw a guy use a head airflow racket which is designed for girls but he played good with it even if he looked... awkward (I immediately had him change his racket to this wilson one he had). It's really funny though I'm sort of playing ryoma on my tennis team. There is only a varsity team in stuy so as a freshmen I joined and the whole school was like what? Now I'm playing singles one it's hilarious I beat them easily I guess my years of practice work well, though I still have trouble playing with my poor tennis elbow (No I am not duplicating tezuka I have it for real).
