Customer Review: BEST VALUE RACQUET
I bought a prince o3 “red” and used it for a few months; I liked it. Then I broke a string and had to switch back to my “reserve” racquet, the 600G. It was a night and day difference! The sweet spot was huge, everything felt so much easier! When I saw how cheap this racquet now goes for (back in england in 2006 I paid over 120 STERLING for this racquet) I bought another. The prince is now confined to the closet. And I am now the best tennis player in the world… (one part of this review is untrue).
Customer Review: I would buy it again
This is the best racquet I’ve played with because of its balance of control, power and maneuverability.It’s good for serves, ball placement, drop shots and plenty of spin. This 600G is the best value on the market today.

    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.

    Wilson [k] Pro Open Tennis Racquet Wilson [k] Pro Open Tennis Racquet What’s the difference between winning and losing? Wilson boils it down to one word: [k]ontrol. The Wilson [K] Pro Open tennis racquet is made using [k]arophite black technology, a proprietary next-generation structure that results in better feel and a stronger, more stable performance. As a result, it’s easier than ever for players to shape their shots and hit the corners with accuracy. And control is a crucial tool, as players who had the fewest unforced errors have won a combined 74 percent of the most recent Grand Slam tournaments. The [K] Pro Open, however, goes the extra mile by also offering explosive power and enhanced maneuverability, making it ideal for the aggressive player who likes to hit a heavy ball with plenty of spin.

    The [K] Pro Open also boasts Wilson’s Double Hole technology, which offers larger-diameter grommet holes that create more flex within the stringbed upon impact, resulting in a smoother feel and added power. And thanks to the [K]onnector-2 external wings–which are molded into each side of the hoop to increase the dwell time of the ball upon impact–the Pro Open sports even more control.

    Specifications:

    • Head size: 100 square inches
    • Length: 27 inches
    • Weight: 11.1 ounces (strung)
    • Stiffness: 65
