Head & PK racquets

[sales%coastalpondbuilders.com]

Of all the raquests, I feel Head and ProKennex are best overall.
Wilsons and Ektelon next.
Have tried the new Head TI 170 PZ. Great on the backhand. Took no time
to hit & feel comfortable. I am having trouble with the forehand. Alot
of twang feel and sweet spot more in center of racquet than the PK
Play with the PK Pure1Light - Great on the forehand but not as good on
the back.
Overall, the PK takes less effort to hit harder and better consistancy
on the forehand.
Would love a combination of the best of both.
Waiting to try PK's new Pure1 Momentum & compare again.

I've said it before and I will say it again. I firmly believe there is not ONE
best racquet make. Period. End of story. Everyone hits the ball a little
differently and everyone is comfortable with different types of racquets.
Certain racquets play better for different styles of players.
I always encourage players to try all of the different brands and purchase what
they are truly comfortable with and not what someone else says is the "best"
racquet for them.

could not have put it better myself. guess that is why there are so many
brands and models of cars. not to mention all the colors too. it would be a
very dull world if everyone liked the same clothes, cars, woman, man, and we
all looked the same.

probably be lots of tie rball games too!!!

I agree that no one racquet is best for every player. However having
recently attended a meeting to look at the new Ektelon line I can say
without hesitation that Ektelon has the largest selection of racquets
with respect to skill levels, weight, shape, cost, and a number of other
variables. They also stand behind their products like no other company I
have seen!

Kenneth,
Lots of racquets out there have plastic grommet sets which are brittle
upon impact. Why they don't have a little rubber mixed in to soften the
guard is unclear to me. Try using head tape over the grommet sets. I think
it reduces breakage, but even if it doesn't, it keeps the set together.
If it breaks, it then only needs to be replaced when you restring.

...just strung a racquet for one of my collegiates...he had some electrical tape
protecting the top (over the bumper guard) of his T22...looked like crap but
when I took off the tape, bumper guard was unblemished...he still popped a
string though...hit'en too high with a twist ;-)

Kevin,

Thanks for your input.

I have used tape successfully now for two months. The rub is that ProKennex
is selling a $200 racquet that requires tape over the gel track system.
This is not "advanced engineering." Tape alters the racquet
characteristics. It probably dampens more than the gel. It made no
difference to my game. What hurts my game is the knowledge that the head
guard may come apart at any time and that I will need to restring. Having a
second racquet would be an option. It wont be a ProKennex.
