Hello guys,

Can someone recommend a racquet that's like the Prince TT Propel but not? I'm looking to move over to Head after my Prince racquet has cracked (RIP), but am open to other brands, except Wilson. Last time I had a Wilson I got shoulder problems cause it was too heavy. I need UK prices, and preferably under £50.

Thanks!

Hi Keegan,

Sorry to hear about your cracked racquet, had that RIP sensation many a time.

I would just suggest not to write off any brand of racquet as such. Wilson's will make good racquets and bad racquets, light and heavy- same as pretty much all the other brands. A good way to find a suitable racket similar to your own is to search it on tenniswarehouse. It has a racquet comparison tool which allows you to input your racquet specifications and compare them to current and previous racquets on the market.

Also £50 is very cheap so you might want to look at clearance sections in websites such as PWP, Pro-Direct Tennis, Tennisnuts and Tennis Planet to find a good price.

Good luck!

Paul

I would think not only about the actual weight but also about the balance because a head heavy balance is bad for your arm and also is more difficult to maneuver especially at the net. I really like the Prince EXO3 Tour, it has a head light balance and a very flexible frame giving great feel and touch and it has decent power and great reviews. Definitely worth a try.

£50 is too low, can't figure a good racquet that the price is under it.

Bit late now my friend, but thanks anyway!

Hey!

I got a problem with my tennis racquet. I'm using Prince Exo3 Warrior which weight 300g and I think it's to heavy for me. I used to play table tennis proffesionally for over 10 years, so I have some feeling for the racquet and ball. When I play from the base line I have no problems, but when I came closer to the net, where the power of every ball is stronger I can't hold my racquet anymore and it's trying to run away from my hand. This happens especially on the backhand side. The same thing happens to me with my serves and high balls. On the other hand I've been playing tennis for only 3 months but because of my history in table tennis I can beat opponents who has been playing for 20 or 30 years (offcoure they are all amateurs). I'm saying this because I don't know if it's too early for me to replace the racquet and I will get used to this one.

what do you think? What should I do?

What do you think about this one - Head YouTek Graphene Speed REV?

Demo different racquets until you find one that suits your style of play.
