From Head Microgel Prestige Mid to Aerogel 4d 5Fifty is a step down in feel but a big leap to maneuverbility. The Head absorbs most of the shocks in off-sweetspot shots but due to its weight relative to my frame size and strength, I thought my reflex was waning. I can confirm that it was the racquet weight that was slowing me down.
With the Aerogel 4d %Fifty Lite, I play like I used to when I was a lot younger. I always used Light Racquets and 4 5/8" grip that is available for this Dunlop model.
