The Just Tennis Strung Head Liquid Metal LM Tennis Racquet is strong using head synthetic guy and is a MidPlus racquet with 4 ¼ to 5/8 oversize grips. This is a beautiful, famous racquet that Andrei Agassi used when he won his most recent United States Open Tennis tournament. It is intended for players that have full swings, and it is excellent for all kinds of court play. It has more power than what would normally be expected from an Agassi racquet. It has a head light balance and a low swing weight, meaning that it is a highly mobile tennis racquet that excels at half swing shots that are used primarily for net play and for serve returns.
When it comes to a tennis racquet that Andrei Agassi used, one might expect a low power, heavier racquet because Agassi brings his own power to the court. However, you will find that this particular racquet does have quite a bit of power to it, boosting the capabilities of your swing by putting power behind even the lightest swings, making it ideal for all kinds of play, including net play and when returning serves.
This is a highly mobile and fast swinging tennis racquet, making it ideal for many types of tennis players. The frame is constructed with sections of Liquid Metal, a really dense material, which is located in four different points around the racquet's head. This allows the racquet's head to be stabilized, giving it a greater shot accuracy, less vibration, and a much larger sweet spot. This racquet also utilizes something called Intellifibers in its throat, which allows it to further reduce the amount of vibration that it experiences. If you are looking for a durable tennis racquet that offers high durability with low vibration, the Liquid Metal frame tennis racquet is ideal for you. whether you choose the Mid Plus or the Oversize, you will find a powerful, light weight and easily portable tennis racquet that can add improvements to your game without much effort on your behalf.
The type of stringing that this racquet comes with is Head Synthetic Gut 16 string, which is a nice and durable playing string that plays very well, especially in the Liquid Metal Radical. The Mid Plus version of this racquet has a 98 head, and weighs 11.1 oz. This particular racquet is 27 inches long both in the Mid Plus and Oversize versions. The Mid Plus is 3 pts light, and the Oversize is 4 pts light. The swing weight of the Mid Plus is 10.0 and the swing weight of the Oversize is 9.9. The Oversize has a head of 107, and weighs .1 oz more at 11.2 oz when strung.
The Mid Plus and the Oversize tend to play quite similarly in comparison to one another. You may find that the Mid Plus has a slightly heavier feel to it, while the Oversize has a little bit more power. The tennis racquet that Agassi used to win his most recent matches was the Oversize version of this racquet.

The Wilson K Factor Six One Tour 90 is Roger Federer's new tennis racquet and is the sum of numerous subtle revisions in design and function that can often result in large changes in the performance of the racquet when they all come together and are perceived as a whole. The Wilson K Factor Six One Tour 90 is a perfect example of this concept because all of the changes in design and function that it has experienced are subtle in nature, and it is not until you put them all together that you finally realize what this powerful racquet is capable of. The Wilson K Factor Six One Tour 90 has a number of unique design revisions including the adoption of nCode and KFactor, and it also has a newer handle with a shorter pallet and more exposed graphite shaft.
Another subtle update that the Wilson K Factor Six One Tour 90 has experienced is the string spacing in the racquet's sweet spot, which has four cross strings along the PWS at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock on the face of the racquet, while other versions of this racquet have five cross strings in this area. With the Wilson K Factor Six One Tour 90, just like Roger Federer we are able to experience what four strings plays like. The Wilson K Factor Six One Tour 90 has been a big hit with reviewers, because it offers astounding stability coupled with excellent comfort, the perfect amount of control and feel, and a really smooth play overall. Hitting ground strokes using this racquet has certainly been exceptionally popular, and most people have found the racquet capable of delivering a great amount of depth, even with slice backhands and other types of swings.
The general consensus is this: If you want a tennis racquet that is going to provide comfort, easy playability, good control, excellent stability and a good feel, then the Wilson K Factor Six One Tour 90 is a good way to go. Not only will you be playing with a racquet that feels comfortable and delivers good power and control, but you will also be playing with a racquet that is endorsed by Roger Federer, one of the top seeded tennis players on the courts this year. If Roger Federer endorses the Wilson K Factor Six One Tour 90, you can rest assured that it's a worthwhile racquet to play with.

Racquet - BABOLAT Pure Storm Tour
Stringing Pattern - 16 x 20
Composition - Graphite / Carbon Xtreme
Head Size -630 cm2 / 98 sq. in.
Weight when Strung - 335 g/11.7 oz
Weight when Unstrung - 320 g/11.2 oz
Balance Point when Unstrung - 310 mm
Balance point when Strung - 320 mm
Stiffness Rating - 68 ra
Inertia - 295 kg x cm2
Length - 685 mm / 27 in
Cross Section - 21 / 21 / 21 mm
The BABOLAT Pure Storm Tour is best suited for players that have a wide swing, and that are looking for a powerful tennis racquet that offers a perfect balance between stability and control. The Carbon Xtreme offers more control and better sensations upon impact. The Woofer features technologies that link the frames and the strings for an optimal amount of comfort. The cross section is traditional for this type of racquet. Many Babolat Team Pro players are choosing this racquet, including but not limited to Fernando Gonzalez, Nicolas Massu, Robby Ginepri, Dinara Safina and Nadia Petrova.
The Babolat Pure Storm Tour racquet is offered as a replacement for the original Pure Control series, which was known to many for offering control. The Babolat Pure Storm Tour series offers the perfect blend between power, control and feel for a player's stick in a mid-plus head size. The Babolat is mixing the Carbon Extreme and Woofer technologies, featuring braided carbon in the hoop as a means of increasing torque, feel and resistance, and brings power to the party using string vibration dampening technologies from Woofer.
The Babolat Pure Storm Tour is offered in two different lengths. The standard Babolat Pure Storm Tour is 27 inches and the plus version is 27.5 inches long. Armed with control-oriented mid plus sticks, reviewers have found both of these racquets to provide a lot of control, a moderate amount of power and a great deal more. When it comes to ground strokes, the Babolat Pure Storm Tour provides a surprisingly forgiving and soft response, and even off center shots are not as jarring as they could be. Shots that hit the sweet spot felt like butter thanks to the optimal open string pattern.
Racquet testers have been impressed with the control, feel and stability offered by the Babolat Pure Storm Tour with volleys. This racquet offers a generous sweet spot with a good punch. The Babolat Pure Storm Tour also provides plenty of spin and control when it comes to serves. Some people have found that it offers a lack in pace, but this is not noticeable enough for many players to notice. Players have also been able to notice successful returns with the Babolat Pure Storm Tour, and most players have been able to get the racquet to do what they wanted without much trouble, meaning that this racquet is providing an adequate amount of control, and is good for new players who are just getting a feel for their capabilities on the court.

Head Size - 115 sq. inches
Length - 28.0 inches
Weight - 8.20 oz when strung
Stiffness - 71 Babolat RDC
Balance - 15.26 in Head Heavy

The Head Intelligence i.S12 is a lightweight legend, featuring one of the lightest available swing weights and static weights available on the market today. This is a racquet that truly does allow for excellent maneuverability and racquet head speed. The Head Intelligence i.S12 offers a head heavy balance and a wide and open string pattern, both of which ensure that you will have ready access to ample power and plenty of stability as well.
The Head Intelligence i.S12 features Head Intelligiber which is integrated on both sides of the throat area of the racquet. This unique intellifiber is created using piezoelectric materials, utilizing breakthrough properties that make these materials unique and different from any other materials being used on today's tennis racquets. The Head Intelligence i.S12 also features energy transformation properties, using the mechanical energy of the ball impact and converting it into electrical energy in less than a single millisecond. The electrical impulse can actively change the shape of the intellifibers in order to create more stiffness using controllable shape change.
In less than the first single millisecond of ball impact, the Head's intellifibers will stiffen in order to reduce bending in the throat area of the racquet in order to provide unmatched power. No matter how strong the material is, any traditional racquet is still going to bend when it impacts with the ball. This bending can cause a serious loss of potential power, which is why the Intellifiber material offered by Head is such a breakthrough. 20 percent of all vibrations are immediately eliminated upon impact with the ball, offering optimum comfort by reducing vibrations significantly by using electrical energy instead of mechanical energy.
The innovative cross section design utilized by the Head Intelligence i.S12 reduces weight by six percent while still increasing torsional rigidity by nearly 30 percent. Because it is still but light weight, the PowerFrame in the Head Intelligence i.S12 increases torsional stability for less twist and torque, providing instead optimum control while reducing weight maneuverability.
The Head Intelligence i.S12 has a perfectly symmetrical PowerPattern with equal distances between all of the main and cross strings, which creates the only string bed in the world that deflects this consistently and deeply upon impact with the ball. The PowerPattern features PowerZone grommets, a patented design which allows the strings to deflect by as much as 180% in comparison to conventional string patterns and similar grommets. The benefit here is that PowerPattern provides the ultimate amount of power and the maximum sweet spot along with unrivaled directional control because it offers a consistent response no matter where on the string bed the ball should hit.

If you are looking for all around performance and are a beginning tennis player or an intermediate player, then the Prince Triple Threat TT Bandit Oversize may be the most outstanding selection for you to choose. The Prince Triple Threat TT Bandit Oversize is an outstanding choice for any beginner tennis player or intermediate tennis player that is looking for an oversize racquet that is going to provide all around excellent performance. The 26mm by 22mm tapered beam is moderately wide, and in conjunction with its light static weight will provide an excellent maneuverable and powerful frame. This powerful frame is ideal for players that have a lower swing speed or a moderately fast swing speed.
The Prince Triple Threat TT Bandit Oversize takes advantage of Triple Threat technology, which is a revolutionary weighting system that features Triple Braid. Triple Braid is woven copper, carbon and titanium that is placed within three different critical locations within the racquet. The Triple braid is placed in the 10 o'clock location, the 2 o'clock location and at the very bottom of the handle as well. The purpose of this system is to provide an expanded sweet spot, to increase ultimate stability and to increase control and power while simultaneously reducing the amount of shock that your arm experiences. By taking advantage of Triple Treat technology, the Prince Triple Threat TT Bandit Oversize has complete racquet stability that is maintained in all its both on and off center. The result here is optimal power as well as much improved control, completely independent of where the impact should happen to occur.
By blending titanium and graphite, the Prince Triple Threat TT Bandit Oversize is a racquet that is not only light, but also extremely strong as well. The result here is extra strength and stability in that the incredibly stable frame is completely comprised of muscle with absolutely no fat. A unique string support system is also incorporated into the Prince Triple Threat TT Bandit Oversize's design, allowing the racquet to significantly dampen potential vibration, generating a sweet spot that can actually become larger upon impact, returning solid power back into the ball. This sweet spot suspension system for a solid feel is patented, meaning it is completely unique to the design of the Prince Triple Threat TT Bandit Oversize and other Triple Threat racquets.
The Prince Triple Threat TT Bandit Oversize offers a number of different grip sizes, including 4-1/4 (L2), 4-3/8 (L3) 4-1/2 (L4) or 4-5/8 (L5). The head size for this tennis racquet is 110 square inches, and the length is 27.50 inches. When strung, the Prince Triple Threat TT Bandit Oversize weighs a mere 9.90 ounces. The Prince Triple Threat TT Bandit Oversize is head heavy with a 14.50 inch balance and a 26mm / 22mm tapered beam cross section. The retail price for the Prince Triple Threat TT Bandit Oversize is $119.95, and this powerful racquet is well worth its cost when you consider the improvement to your game that it will afford you.

November 21st, 2008 — Female Profile, Product Review, Racket, Tennis, Tournaments and Championships
If you are an adult looking to break into tennis, it can be pretty frustrating to find a racket made for you. Most of the rackets for this niche are designed for players that are already experienced, and the rackets that are made for beginners are typically sized for junior players. Entry level rackets that are high quality are hard to come by and we were very happy to come across this one from Wilson.
There’s a reason that this is the number one selling entry level racket for adults in the United States. It’s one of the best we have actually used and it’s weighted perfectly for beginners. If you have not been using a racket that was designed for this purpose, it’s all too easy to get frustrated and quit your lessons, especially if the head of the racket is too small. It is so much easier to go with a racket that is designed to make it simple to get started, and Wilson has done a great job of appealing to this market.
We found that the racket was very well made and the balance was superb. It’s lightweight without feeling flimsy and unlike many low priced rackets, it was strung very tightly and very well. You won’t have to worry about dealing with a lousy racket if you can’t afford a nicer one since the Impact is budget priced, without being made of “budget” material.
We loved the fact that the frame was made of titanium alloy, since this can be a big factor when it comes to learning the “feel” of a racket. It’s just about right in terms of what you feel when you connect and the grip made it very easy to hold. Overall, even though we are not beginners, we found this racket to be ideal for any casual adult player, and it’s price point makes it very attractive to those that don’t play enough to justify an expensive one.
Specifications from the Manufacturer
* Frame: titanium alloy
* Strung weight: 10.7 oz
* Head size: 110 sq in
* Length: 27.5"
* Stringing: factory
* String pattern: 16 x 19
* Tension range: 50-60 lbs
* Grip: 4.25"
* Stiffness: 53
* Balance: head heavy 1 cm
We highly recommend this racket to beginners and feel that it will give them the support and functionality they need to get a good start in the game. Whether you play occasionally, or you are interested in getting serious about the game, this entry level racket from Wilson is the ideal choice. The tension range is just about perfect and the head size gives you plenty of room for error while still allowing you to connect solidly with the ball. One of our favorite all time rackets and that is not something that we say easily. It’s cheap enough you can easily buy one just to try it out and we recommend doing just that so you can see how it will affect your own game.

November 19th, 2008 — Product Review, Racket, Tennis
If you are looking for an oversize racket that will make it easier to score better and have more fun while you’re playing, this new model from Wilson is the ideal choice. It’s got a nice big oversized head and if you’re just starting out, this will give you the edge you need. There is always controversy over whether or not oversized rackets should be allowed, but the bottom line is – for beginning players they do make a difference.
For those struggling to improve their accuracy, a racket with an oversized head is usually the best answer, at least until the player gets to the point where they have learned how to control their shots. Beginners often find that rackets have heads that are just too small to work with and if you’re not perfect, chances are you may find it difficult to hit the ball just right. This racket from Wilson, one of the most respected names in the industry, offers a solution that is not only economical, but also actually works.
Despite the oversized head, we found that the racket was well balanced and easy to hold. It’s light enough to keep your arms from getting fatigued, while being substantial enough to get the job done. We were very impressed with the overall appeal of the racket and found that it was one of the best oversized rackets we have ever played with. If you’ve had a bad experience in the past with an oversized racket, give this one a shot and see if you don’t see a major improvement.
Our favorite part of the racket was the fast dry grip, which was comfortable to hold and reduced the occurrence of blisters. We also like the fact that it comes in many different grip sizes, making it a lot easier for people to find the one that is perfect for them. We recommend testing it out in the store to see which grip is right for you to further customize the overall fit of the racket.
Racquet Specifications
* Headsize: 111 sq. in.
* Length: 27.50 in.
* Weight (strung): 9.70 oz.
* Stiffness (Babolat RDC): 66
* Balance: 6pts. Head Heavy
* Cross Section: 26.5mm/24mm Dual Taper Beam
* Swingweight: 330 kg*sq. cm
* String Pattern: 16x1
* Grip: Wilson Micro-Dry Comfort
* Wilson Stiffness Index: 4.0
Overall, we highly recommend this racket to beginning players or to those that are struggling with their accuracy. It’s got just the right weight and the head isn’t too big either. In some cases, manufacturers tend to go a bit overboard when they are making oversized rackets, but Wilson has hit just the right note with this one. We really enjoyed using it and it quickly became one of our new favorites. We’ll be putting it into heavy rotation when we play and once you give it a try, you may want to do the same thing.

Maria Sharapova got together with Prince o3 to design a racket for women that they could really use. As such, it comes with her signature and in her favorite colors. This is not a novelty player racket though, this is the real deal and one that will get the job done admirably. We were prepared to deal with yet another vanity racket, so it was a nice surprise to find that this one is actually quite good.
The balance is ideal for women players and should reduce the strain that is common from playing with a racket that was intended to be used by a man. It’s very light weight, even when it’s strung and the feel is very light without feeling cheap. The one major problem people have with this racket is its price, which is a bit high considering. Most stores retail this model for close to $200 or more, but at the end of the day, you do get what you pay for.
The racket comes in several different grip sizes and offers a great deal of customization. We found that the grip was very comfortable and it didn’t wear badly like so many grips do. You won’t have to worry about taping this one too much, it’s actually quite durable. We appreciated the attention to detail that went into this racket and the company has done a great job of making one that you can really get a lot of use out of. We were very pleased with the results and found that our accuracy slightly improved, as we also didn’t notice any arm fatigue after using the racket.
Racquet Specifications:
# Headsize: 100 sq. in.
# Length: 27.00 in.
# Weight (strung): 11.25 oz.
# Stiffness (Babolat RDC): 67
# Balance: 13.09 in. Head Light
# Cross Section: 23mm/25mm/22mm Tapered Beam
# Swingweight: 317 kg*sq. cm
# String Pattern: 16x19
# Grip: Prince Duratac
# Prince Power Level: 1000
This is a great middle of the road racket for women and we found that it was easily one of the best we’ve tested in this class. Women sometimes have a hard time getting a racket that is made for their arms, wrists and elbows, let alone ones that come in the right grip size. It’s nice to see more manufacturers moving towards catering to women and so far, this is one of the nicest entries on the market that we have seen.
It’s a racket that is good for both high level beginners, intermediate players and advanced players, and there is plenty of room to grow in your game with this racket. That is probably its biggest selling point, since many rackets fall down when it comes to take players beyond a certain level in their game. This is one racket that will serve you for many years, and it’s more than worth the purchase price when you consider just how much use you’ll get out of it.

October 22nd, 2008 — Product Review, Racket, Tennis
When it comes to tennis rackets, one of the most respected companies in the business is Wilson. They are known for making high quality equipment you can count on, and when it comes to getting the job done, there are few rackets that can compare. The Wilson K6 One Tennis Racket is a good middle of the road racket that is suitable for intermediate and advanced players.
While it’s not an entry level racket, it is one that will last and provide you with years of service, depending on how much you play. We liked the light weight feel, but never felt that it was flimsy, a tough task when it comes to rackets. When you pick this one up, you’ll just know that it was meant for serious play. We enjoyed the feel and the results we go using it, which were superior to other rackets in this class.
The racket comes in many different grip sizes, making it a great solution for those that have either small hands or large hands. It’s always nice to find a racket that is versatile and we appreciated the wide range of grip sizes. You’ll almost feel like it was custom made for you and if you haven’t been playing with a racket that had the right grip, the new feel will surprise you.
You can buy this one strung or unstrung, depending on your preference and the store where you get it. We personally prefer to have it strung, but liked the fact that you could pick which way you wanted it. Some players prefer that extra level of personalization, while others would just rather have the racket ready to go out of the box. Once again, it’s nice to see Wilson going that extra mile to make sure that the racket will work for each individual player.
Specifications:
* Si: 5 (medium)
* Head size: 95 square inches
* Length: 27.25 inches
* Weight: 10.2 ounces (unstrung), 10.8 ounces (strung)
* Balance: 2 points HL (unstrung), 1 point HH (strung)
* Grip size: 4-1/8 to 4-5/8
* Cross section: 22.0 mm
* Rec. string: [K] Gut
* Rec. grip: [K]ontrol
* Stringing recommendations: 16 x 20 pattern, 50- to 60-pound tension
Overall, we were impressed with the quality of the racket, as well as the job it did on the court. This
