All tennis racquet reviews are somewhat subjective. No single expert can accurately predict how another player will like a racquet's feel; therefore, a racquet shopper's best bet is to seek out a range of opinions. Please share your experience with a racquet you like or dislike, including its arm comfort, maneuverability, and power and control on specific shots like serves, groundstrokes, and volleys.

WILSON CIRRUS ONE BLX TENNIS RACKET

If power and comfort are your prime requirement, Wilson's oversize rackets have never disappointed. This addition stays with the tradition while bringing in BLX's feel and handling. A new “go-to” racket for countless seasoned players looking to improve their game, it is extremely fast, powerful, and easy to swing. BLX is the newer Wilson racket technology engineered with BASALT fibres also combining proprietary frame, grommet and grip technologies.At over £230, it is not cheap but worth every penny.DINESH R MAKWANA www.inorbits.webs.com www.dreamwords.webs.com

Prince Triple Threat Warrior Midplus

I got this racquet on close-out for around $60, and I'm pretty happy with it. It weighs 11.3 ounces strung, and it's balanced 5 points head-light. Compared to the other racquets I tried, it feels the most solid, and my arm hasn't hurt at all using it, but the sweet spot seems smaller than on a few other racquets I tried. In other words: If I hit on or near the sweet spot, the racquet feels the best of any I've tried, but if I hit way off center, it feels a bit worse than some. The power is just about right for me, a 4.0 player who hits moderately strong topspin on most groundstrokes. I'm rarely surprised by what the racquet does. My serves seem to land in with good consistency and a little more power than they used to. I have no trouble maneuvering the racquet at the net. The Prince Triple Threat Warrior Midplus might not be the very best racquet out there, but it's probably the best one I could afford.
