HEAD Youtek IG Prestige Mid Tennis Racquet

I love this racket for the feel and the precision and the stability. It is an awesome racket if I am just going to play points, not games or sets. I dont know if I could swing this racket accurately for two hours in a match. It is that demanding for the weight and smallish sweet spot. I never seem to mishit the ball because the racket is so super stable and comfortable. But I seem to win easier with the Prestige Pro.

Level 2.5 player baseliner with a wristy forehand and a flat backhand. Excellent control racquet, however it requires a high level of racquet speed you have to really swing with this racquet. Once I began using Babolat vs. Touch 55lbs and ditched the synthetics...wow! This racquet forces you to go for your shots--far too many people play defensive tennis anyway. Would not recommend this racquet for anyone 3.0 or higher because your strokes must be very sound to play with the racquet. Again, love it bought 2.

One of the most stable racquets Ive ever tested. Off center shots are stable and do not wobble the racquet. Control oriented racquet terrific for volleys and best for placement of serves. Only downsides are the 18x20 pattern strings do not generate enough spin and the racquet weight can give you wrist problems if not in shape. The small 93 inch head size will draw old school players. Best suited for experienced players with long fluid and quick strokes.

The feel of this racquet is exceptional, given its heft and tight string pattern. I love the control, which is tough to find in this day of stiff power racquets. The head light ballance makes this racquet feel much lighter than 12+ ounces, but the heft is there to handle heavy balls from a big hitting opponent.
