Advanced players can sometimes find it difficult to get just the right racket. There is a dearth of rackets available for intermediate players, but when it comes to appealing to either beginners or advanced players, a lot of manufacturers fall short. The Dunlop Maxplay McEnroe racket is one that is designed specifically for advanced players and we were very surprised at just how good it was.
The racket was designed for John McEnroe and carries his signature both on the case and on the racket itself. That gives you a big clue as to the quality of the racket and the level of player that should be using it. This is not a racket for beginners and even intermediate players may find that it’s just not right for them either. However, there is a big, untapped market out there for advanced rackets and this is easily one of the best we have come across.
The grip for this racket is 4 3/8 and the overall weight is about 11 ounces, without strings. Adding strings really doesn’t change the overall weight much and we found that it was very light in the hand and easy to maneuver. The entire length of the racket is 27 inches long and the head is 98 square inch. For those seeking greater accuracy and the ability to get an unparalleled feel for the ball, this is one of the best rackets we’ve tested.
Wilson is a name that you can trust and when they design a racket for one of the highest profile players in the world, it’s a given that it is going to be good. We were surprised at the overall handling and noticed a difference right away in accuracy and power. If you’re looking for that little edge your game needs to get to the next level, you may just find it with this racket.
If you’re an advanced player, we can’t say enough nice things about this racket. The feel is just perfect and the first time you use and connect with the ball, you’ll agree that it’s one of the most outstanding rackets on the market. It may not be the flashiest one, or the one with the most hype, but it sure does get the job done and that is what really counts. When you need a racket you can count on that will perform at a level that you need to succeed, this is one of the best choices you can make. We highly recommend it and look forward to giving ours quite a workout in the near future.
The pricing for this model is quite reasonable, considering the way that it is made, the materials and the market. Many advanced rackets are priced too high for regular players that don’t happen to have sponsors or who aren’t on tour. This one can easily be afforded by most players and if you can’t get it right away, start saving up now. This is one racket that is more than worth the purchase price.
