If you are a beginner, don't play with the Head Ti-120. It is so
light, that it is hard to feel where your rackethead is, making
it difficult to play consistent strokes. I also don't like the
squared grip.

I use a Head Ti120. I like it because it is light and
this allows me to use my wrist more which helps with
those last minute disguised shots and flicking it out
from deep in the back corners. However, the downside
is the racket is very fragile and cracks easily. So
depending on how much abuse you deal out to your
rackets, the Head Ti120 may not be for you.

Yes -- it's a contender for the most overpriced racquet available.
If you're not used to an ultralight racquet, you should probably think
twice. I've had the Ti150 and found it extremely fragile (broke two in
6 months) so I can only imagine that the 120 is worse in this regard.
On the other hand, for an ultralight racquet, it is very stiff. I
would opt for the Head Ti 140/160 G series rather than the Ti120/150.
Slazenger has a new 120g racquet that's very stiff and a lot cheaper.

On the other hand, a racquet with a heavier head allows
you to flick the ball much harder from the front court while
disguised as a drop. Anything less than 160g is
pretty light and any major difference in hand speed during play is
probably imagined. I find a heavier racquet helps me place
the ball better and during a match, its weight isn't even on
my mind.

Have to disagree with u on the Ti 150. I find them to be pretty strong
and stiff for the weight. But have to admit that the 120 is overpriced
and too light, so bear that in mind as the weight does make a big
difference. I haven't broken my 150 yet and it's been 6 months already.
And there area battle scars, like white paint on the racket. :)
So u must be hitting the wall even harder :)
I have tried the 140G as well but didn't hit very long but they did not
feel as good as the 150. That's for me anyway. THey are heaps for
expensive than the 150 too. Apparently it's pretty hard to get them
nowadays.
But in terms of value for money the Dunlops are pretty good. They have
140g rackets which costs heaps less than the Heads.
good luck huntin.

Chris.
