Description

Guide Review - Head Intelligence i.Tour Tennis Racquet

The Head i.Tour is designed for the advanced intermediate who takes full and fast swings. At 11.2 ounces (strung), balanced 5/8 inch head-light on a 27-inch frame, it has great maneuverability. The 100-square-inch head enlarges the sweet spot, but 18 main strings and a moderately stiff frame compensate in favor of control. You'll need to generate your own power on serves. Dense stringing favors comfort over power. The i.Tour delivers a solid hit on groundstrokes, with a feel that some will find pleasantly soft, others too muted.
