BABOLAT XS 109 Tennis Racquets

I bought this racket for my 12 year old daughter. She is still a beginner but is picking up the game fairly quickly. It is light weight and is the right swing weight and power level for her. I am a 3.5 and enjoyed the contact control that it produces at the net and with volleys. I prefer a racket that has a little more power as I am an older and more aggressive player than she but it is the perfect racket for her. More importantly the customer service that tennis express gives is absolutely unprescidented!! I ordered the racket on a Monday night and needed it by the following Thursday. I did not know what kind of strings to get and asked T.E. to throw some in the box. Honestly I did not think the racket would come by Thursday, or have stings included. Well I got the racket on Thursday, with strings that color match the racket and paid no shipping or extra fees!! I am a big Tennis Express advocate!!

Excellent feel at the net,very forgiving on off center hits, surprising power with a moderate paced swing, very arm friendly and good pop on serves, im using regular grip, not smart grip, 3.5 over 60 player who plays with younger players, daily in summer.

For the player who doesn't have a lot of upper body strength or perfect eye/hand coordination, this is a nice racquet. I play with 3.0 to 4.5 players and have improved my shots tremendously. I would recommend it for over 50 year olds or 3.0 to 3.5 players of any age.

This is a great light weight racquet. I'm a junior/intermediate player. I got this racquet with the Xcel power strings @57lbs and it has not disappointed me. It makes my off center hits seem like a perfect shot. The grip is so comfortable and never slips even after playing for hours.
