i play the old babolat pure storm from 09 or something
i like it but idk wanting to try something different

suggestions?!!?!

what's your swing style/game style?

i play a western forehand and 2 hand backhand
atm i play doubles but i play singles tournaments frequently


mostly kick serves but i have a fairly balanced game o_O

More power/spin/feel?

i mean i play with good people...
hit a quick pace with alot of string
feel isnt that relavent to me

i probably could use some racket suggestions too, :l

e/ ambidextrous, slightly more topspin and consistent depth from the left side, a bit flatter but just as capable (if not more) from the right

and before you ask, no, i can't hit a backhand for shit (apart from slicing but since its a dead giveaway and my fh slices are better f that)

First off, I believe babolat has pretty much cornered the market racket wise and I use a pure storm tour with gamma ZO plus strings at around 60.

I'd say stick with the new pure drive model with some babolat pro hurricane strings.

rpm strings are far better than hurricanes
yea just looking to try new rackets
i get free demos and dont mind trying new stuff :]

I have the Wilson BLX Pro Tour@ 57 lbs.

A lot of people complained about losing depth on this racquet, but I wanted to switch to it because with my old racquet I was having to hold back my swing because i kept hitting balls long. I hit a long, low to high forehand(Partway between Eastern and Western grip, but closer to Eastern grip, lots of topspin), and a Flat 2-handed backhand. I also hit a pretty flat serve, but I got more kick off the court with this racquet than I did with my old racquet, and am continually working on more. It's a very good control racquet, I had to work on keeping my swing speed up as it doesn't provide very much power for you, but I kept my spin potential about as high as I did before. I may experiment with some lower string tensions for added power/depth, but for now it's a definite upgrade from my old racquet(Wilson nCode Ntour 105 sq in).

I'm about a 4.0-4.5 player for NTRP btw.

/e: I also tried a couple of other Wilson/Babolat racquets(AeroDrive Plus Cortex, AeroStorm Cortex, Pure Storm Ltd., and K Factor Kobra Team FX) but I felt like I hit this one the best. The rest were too poppy for me off the strings, although they offered a little better feel.

be careful if you get the rpm strings

the ball tends to fly more i dont know how that works with your game

you play an all court game/ baseline game/ aggressor game ??

but by judging by your racquet try the newer version of the storm or maybe the youtek radical
