Shouldn't this be in the sports section? And I use a Wilson N-Blade. However, Babolats are also a good pick :]
:D Hi!

i have a Wilson Hope racket, it's the girliest racket anyone's ever seen, is what my friends say. It's lightweight and pretty nice for me smile.gif but the grip's not so great though, it slips when your hand gets too sweaty, and when you use it too much, the grip will rub off on your hand and make it have black spots :\

I use a Yonex though, mostly because we're sponsered by them. I love my raquet though, we have a special bond ^^

My friend has a Bablot racquet. I loveeee it so much. xD I borrowed it from her for a summer because I didn't feel like going out and getting another racquet since I don't play that much.

i have a wilson n-fury
but DO NOT get it.. its really not that good even though its in the "ncode" series
i only got it becuase it's blue and white and verrrrrry pretty

i would recommend prince o3 racquets
or head ones.. i actually found those to be the best
babolat pure drives are ok too.. and everyone seems to have them but i think they're overrated..
w/e its your choice tho

go to tenniswarehouse for more about racquets

I use the Wilson Ncode nBlade OS for now and i love it. I think you're better off going to a tennis store and ask them to try demos

i use a crappy wilson hyper hammer racquet. not sure what # it is though. this thing is ancient... only reason why i got it was because it was yellow like me and had nice sparkly traces of carbon fiber smile.gif <33

I use a control racket, but that's because i'm a guy and i've been playing for awhile. moonk379 is right to some extinct (but i wouldn't use a wooden racket playing in today's style of tennis). I would recommend you get a racket that's in-between power and control, most rackets have it clearly shown on the label. If you are more on the intermediate level, i say try midplus head and see how you like it. Make sure the grip isn't too small or too big. <---- most people that complain about their rackets being slippery is mainly due to this problem, and use an overgrip because if it is the other problem, ur grip is just worn out and needs to be changed. Changing the overgrip is a better alternative to changing the grip itself and cheaper too.

I have two midplus Prince Warrior Triple Threat TT rackets (same as Patrick Rafters). They're the most accurate yet lowest power generating. I string mine at the upper end at around 56-58 lbs with standard Prince Synthetic.

i use a head.. i'm not really sure what it is exactly because i don't care about rackets. lol
but, yeah, i think the best companies are probably: wilson, head and prince.
