I'm curious about Jsp's preference on tennis rackets. Maybe you have a single brand you've been using for ages or you switch it up? Which do you like the most so far?

Let's hear some opinions!

(I just named some of the popular brands I could think of, if you use something else please post! :) )

Head!

Used Wilson when I was like 12-13, then I switched to Head, never looked back since! In one period everyone in my club started using Babolat so I tried some of their racquets but didn't like any of them, the frame was too big etc, just didn't feel right.

How is it looking in your tennis clubs when it comes to which racquet most people use? In my club it's still dominated by Babolat closely followed by Head and then closely followed by Wilson. Seen a couple of Prince racquets as well but very few.

Haha same for me.. Wilson in youth, then Head when I was ~11 (everyone used Head at that time, still have the racket haha). About 3 years ago I switched to Babolat. I have 2 of them now and they're perfect to me. I have a babolat Pure drive for example which is just a great racket to have for pretty much any playing style.

Lately I've been dying to try one of those small framed Wilsons though.. that Roger also uses ^^

I'm not too updated with the new racquets anymore. I play with Head Youtek Prestige atm that's all I know :P but tbh for some reason I never look at my friends and opponents racquets... I guess I just couldn't care less, hell I barely know which racquets my mates are using in my club although I've been playing with them for the last 8 years.

It's not like that here. It's just something the university offers (the tennis trainers). Competition is between clubs, and this park does have it's own team that competes with regular clubs but I will only join it once I see what kind of level they play at. Exciting! Starting on monday
