Thanks! Coffee? Really? Who cares? Thanks again.

I love those wooden rackets on the wall! Once a year here in town, the Robert Unsworth Foundation sponsors a fun day of everyone playing with woods and wearing all white.

I’m a 3.0 and play with a Pure Drive strung with Wilson Champions Choice (gut mains at 52, poly crosses at 49]. Love it!

Good Morning from Germany. I have tried so many rackets the last year from all companies. I choose a Wilson Ultra 100 V4 and i love it. It's a racket that I didn't even have on my shortlist.

What. Rating are you?

I switched to the Radical MP after a few years with the Pure Drive, it seemed like the pure drive though super fun to play with was causing horrible shoulder pains. It took quite awhile to get use to the Radical, forcing longer full strokes for power but now I love it. The shoulder pain is gone and Tennis is fun again...

Pure Drive is very stiff and thicker beam, which can cause damage if your swing and contact isn't perfect. I love my Wilson v14

yep, Babolats in general are stiffer racquets that can potentially aggravate pain issues. I have the Pure Aero VS and thou its stiff it has not caused pain in this old dude

Good to know that the most selling frames are racquets that suite the majority of players. 3,0/3,5/4.0 players shouldn’t be playing with RF97’s

Excellent video!👍

I have 2 radical mp's (2023) and I love them, it's a great racket for intermediate to advanced player, that like to have control for an attacking game.

TFight fan here! love it and will coninue to play them I think!

Currently use the dunlop cx 400 tour, good blend of control and power

thanks Harry.

wilson pro staff is superior race of tennis rackets

I use the fx500 V1. It helps with power juts fine, and surprisingly, it still gives you a good amount of control. I dont know if upgrade to V2. Am mostly the 3.5 weekend warrior. The Fx500 V1, is sufficient enough for me.

radical mp user here and love it. used to play ti. radical as a teenager 25 years ago and still like this line, even after trying a lot other rackets.

I play with the Diadem Nova, which is their version of the tweener frame.

using a vcore 95 - 100's feel so big now.

Dunlop FX500 V1 is a great racquet strung full bed of Poly @38 gets the job done for me net rusher.

Long time graphene touch prestige mid player, just switched to radical mp for something easier and more forgiving. The feel is not as good but plays very solid for its weight. Little bit of lead tape at 12 really helped. Played with the Tecnifibre 305 for a little while and I liked the feel, control and power, but the balance felt too head heavy for my game.

Radical for me. Forgiving. Given, ME.

I play with a Pure Drive Tour as a weekend warrior. While it's not for everyone, I enjoy the extra swing weight and easy power that it gives.

I’d like some EASY power.

I would say look for a 100” racquet that is better suited to power vs control/stability (which I look for). For EASY power you might want to try a lighter weight racquet no more than 300 grams unstrung. Take your time and research a bit. The big online tennis stores have good demo programs if you want to try B4 you buy.

Pure Drive plus all day long 😅 still got a 2002 model which is still awesome to play with, better than the 2021.

Ezone and clash

I’m almost 70.Clash 98 and it’ll be mine til I quit tennis.

One catch though: Are these numbers coming from brick and mortar retailers? If so, the advance models are at disadvantage since many high level players, who require less advice from the shop keepers, demo and purchase (Also use the pairing services) from on-line retailers. Just myself, owner of 30+ racquets never bought anything but online.

are you seeing lower prices online or do you take advantage of demo programs prior to buying online?

@@kimmorrison9169 Prices are secondary. Mainly I demo racquets (Like 3 racquets popping up at my door every month) and also they have a wider selection of racquets and strings. Even if I decide to go to a pro-shop I have no idea beforehand what kind of inventory they carry. There is a likelihood that I made the whole trip for nothing (I hr and 20 min roundtrip) Then come prices. Especially instant update on sales and clearances is a big advantage. I got a Pro Staff v13 for $140 on its first year. It did not hit that level even a year later when v14 was on the market. The sale came to my attention when I was perusing my phone and I did not wait too long to make the purchase.
