Which tennis racquet should I buy?

Find a specialty tennis shop in your area and demo each racket you are considering buying. Normally, to demo a racket is free. They do this because they think you will buy from them once you've chosen your racket. At tenniswarehouse.com, it is free as well...although you do have to pay for the shipping.

Sometimes they'll charge you a little bit (like $5 but then credit you that amount when you're ready to buy). The point is, as cheap as is it to demo a racket, you should do it. Then you'll know which racket will feel best for you.

Asking a bunch of internet strangers who have never seen you play which racket you should get is not going to help you at all.

Once you've chosen a racket, you can buy it anywhere. Sad for the specialty tennis shop if you use their free demo service and then buy a racket from someone else....but that is life.

The Dunlop AeroGel 500

The weight is nice for an intermediate to advanced player (a little light for my taste, but at least it's not a feather); the head size is right on a player's frame dimension that most people enjoy nowadays (100 sq. in); the string pattern isn't dense (16x18), so it grabs the ball pretty well... and since you're a baseline player, a low head light balance is a rather suitable option, although I would be personally annoyed with it while moving forward.

The Prince 03 shark also meets all those standards, except it's a little heavier... right around what I would personally enjoy better. It's also a little more flexible and has one more point headlight, which should make aiming little less of an issue than with the other one, especially on touch shots -- but I warn you the difference risks to be marginal.

As for the Babolat you found, it's a tad too light to play as a competing player. I know you'd probably feel it's closer to which you are used to enjoy, but it won't help you. It would be better for a lower level player as it would help this person moving around the court with it and get some decent power level without having to swing perfectly with it. I wouldn't advise it -- I would if you were a player transitioning from junior to adult frames or were like 13 and all skinny, but if you know how to move a frame through the air and played already an entire season, it's just not going to do it as well. The comment is similar for the Wilson...

Other suggestion:

Tennis warehouse currently sells their leftovers in BLX Pro Tour

If you do swing very well, play powerful stroke and have a nice athletic built, at 99$ a piece, it's a good item to purchase. But I have to warn you it's quite a bit heavy, so be certain you know what you're doing if you go toward it.

If not, they have K factor K surge frames for sell for again 99$. Again, great value for its price and it's very similar in specs to the other you proposed.

But I think I found exactly what you need. Look in their HEAD rackets... they have sales on almost all frames. Look up for anything that weights in between 290 and 315grams and has 100 square inches in head size +/- 2 inches... all of these frames under 100 were sold at around 170-200 bucks at full price, so at 90 bucks a piece, although they are older models, they're worth each bit of their price. Look up for one of these:

Head MicroGEL Radical Midplus

Head Liquidmetal Radical Midplus

Head Liquidmetal 4

And, pick up the information I gave you and search on your own as well.

I think that you should demo some racquets first before you just go out and buy something. My suggestion is to buy a Wilson racquet, preferably the new k-factor ones. They come in all shapes colors and weights but you should try each of them out and whatever one fits your tennis game the best, then thats what you should get! Also I have had Wilson racquets since I started tennis 7 years ago and they have been nothing but make my game better! You can't go wrong

From my experience i like the prince hybrid shark. Ive been using this racket for two years now and ive become very comfortable with it. And since your a baseline player this racket allows very good control.

I am a guy and ive had girls use my prince racket and feel very uncomfotable with it. im not sure if this means anything but its just something to keep in mind

I got a babolat pure drive a couple of months ago and it was the best decision id made. Iv also tryed out my friends e sense and it is a pretty good racquet and very light

You should use the prince racket. I am a young ranked tennis player and I play with a prince as well. I know that they are great rackets. Any of the rackets would be great, but personally I like Prince the best.

Prince O3 Hybrid Shark

I would deffinatley get the babolat if it is in ur price range. but if it isnt i would definatley go to the tennis shop nd ask them and u might find something in ur price range their.... they r way better than the walmart ones but the walmart ones r still good... also ifu know anything about my questions plzanswer them.. they r in hair and health.... bout mono

You should try to buy a head raquet they're great.

but buy babolat if you cant
