So for a while ive been switching between i lighter head i.radical, but it feels like i cant generate any power with it even though i swing hard

I recently switched to a heavier prince racquet (Ozone 3 pro tour) which weighs 11.6 oz and my groundstrokes were good, it says its only .5 oz heavier than the head, but it feels much heavier because my shoulder is always sore after serving with it.

So my goal is to find a cross between the two. any suggestions? im considering the head Youtek or possibly federers racquet (but his seemed a little heavy)

if someone could really explain what the whole headlight balance means and such specifications like that it would be great.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

thanks

Anyway I got head youtek mp, and it feels awesome, (using it together with big banger) but I dunno how good you are or if it'll fit you, it's really personal taste.

The reason that it might feel heavier could be that more of the weight is further up in the racquet itself... I tried a racquet the other day which felt heavier than mine but was in fact even lighter... so it depends a lot on where the weight is distributed in the racquet. What do you mean with headlight balance? Is it something that is written on the racquet info or?

headlight pts is just one of the specs listed on racquets from tennis-warehouse and other websites. not sure what it means
