Head Titanium Ti-S6 Tennis Racquet Review

Our Review:
Tennis Magazine gave A’s in all four categories. Power, Comfort, Control and Maneuverability. One of the best all time rated racquets.

The Head TI-S6 tennis racquet is the #1 selling racquet in America for a reason. Head produced the TI-S6 to have all the answers for the club player with a compact swing. Its superior titanium design allows a level of control rarely seen in a racquet with this much power. The maneuverability of a light weight racquet is there, but we were surprised by how solid it was on off center shots.

Scholl’s insoles won after a challenge or late-night infomercials showing us how stable their devices can make us, one thing is for certain…our feet hurt!! Which is the right insole for us? Is it one that can be found in a drug store or supermarket? One that I saw in a shoe store? How about the guy in the mall who told me I can stand on a platform for a custom fit? Do I need to see a doctor? Let’s start at the bottom. The insoles you will find in a pharmacy are little more than replacement sock-liners for your tennis shoes. They offer little support due to being highly flexible. The gel insoles offer no support, but do offer cushioning for those whose natural fat padding has worn away. The next level is an insole that you’ll find in an athletic shoe store. These often have a plastic, graphite, or rubber shell that, while flexible, does offer support. Who are these right for? Anyone having minor to moderate pain in the heel, Achilles tendon, shin splints, or elsewhere in the foot sho …

Customer Review: Like a pro!
An excellent racquet for my 5 years old son. It looks like real Roddicks’s racquet. Its 23 1/2″ lenght is perfect for kids that came from a 21″, not to much as a 25″ or an insufficient 23″. Its 220 gr.weight is
good enough for a stronger play against other 23″ Wilson or Prince racquets, they appear lighter under 200 gr.
If you want to see your 5 or 6 years old kid like a pro in the Tennis Academy with a different racquet, buy a Babolat. Most kids have the same Wilson or Prince ones, I know they are cheaper, but…..
