I have two of Roddick's Rackets. I actually bought them online from Europe (I live in the US) and got a bag thrown in free for $250. Here it's $185 a racket, so I defiently saved some money. What do you all play with?

i play with a DHS, i know it's not that famous, but it's really good. I have two, but i play on court with the better. i spent almost $200 on that racket.
I recently picked up a couple of the dunlop m fil 500 series racquets, they are simply spectacular. I figured that the racquet would just blow and i'd go on, because the price just seemed too good to be true (120 bucks), but it is actually one of the best ive played with, so im really happy with it and it saves me money.
I've also had some babolats, like the puredrive team standard, and the purestorm, but now im really just into dunlops.
I have ten Rossignol wood rackets, a fiberglass Yamaha, a set of three oversize graphite rackets (two of which are Red Chinese cheapies)...and an old wood racket (uncertain make)... The most frequently used of the lot are the wooden Rossignols. I have to strip the grips off of them, sand them down --to get the glue off-- and build them back up with duct tape to 4 5/8"
I'm 49, and I think the first racket I played was a Spalding Smasher...which had a smaller than average head size. Hence the movement against the high-tech trend...I went with a small head size (old wooden technology) rather than lighter and bigger graphite or boron fibers...to recapture the 'feel' from my youth.
Of course, when they go whippy, as those rackets may, I'm stuck.
Nice... You guys should show pics with your racket's that aren't well known That way we can see them ;P.
okay i'll try that later.
Wilson Ncode six one (95) - switched to these after 13 years using Wilson Pro Staff Classic 6.1 ... prior to the Pro Staff Classic - I used the Prince Spectrum Comp 90.
I use a brand that is only in Australia. Alinta... I use Alinta 4.7 tour pro. The brand i think has signed or will be signing a deal with academys in U.S.A to trial Alintas. TOp racquets.
Hey guys, I played with Prince O3 hybrid hornet midplus. Prior to this, I use head Ti.S6. I had amazing shots with this racquet.
I use a Prince Ace TI 400.
i luv the head raquets
bjornborg#2, I know. head racquets are good. with their recent racquet models, it couldn't be better. head flexpoint racquet is great and of course, there are also other racquet brands also improving and better. try out some demo racquet out there. dont just stick to the brand like me. made a huge mistake. :(
babolat team drive plus. the one roddick used b4 he got his new gay lookin racquet.
Head Liquidmetal Radical OS
I gotta try the Head Flexpoints... I wanna see if that flex really provides better direction.
Regardless of what you use, you should jot down the specs of your racquet so next time you need to replace it (frames lose stiffness with use because the graphite fibers break down, causing stiffness loss and ultimately leading to cracking) you can find a modern equivalent if you like it alot. www.NothingButTennis.com has some good racquet charts with all the specs of the modern racquets. It is on their racquets and strings page.
Mid sized Liquid Metal Prestiege...I tried out several others including RDX500, 6 and 1 by wilson, and prince diablo. The Diablo was a dog that should have been put out of its misery. The wilson was combersome and without feeling. However, I has very much so torn between the head and the RDX500.
As far as the mid size...I found that since I started using a smaller head I have been focusing and moving my feet more. This is because I have less room for error.
If you wanted to try a few rackets out, check on TW...They have a great demo program!
i play with racket.... :P
I use a Head Liquedmetal Radical :)
babolat pure control +
hi, I'm new here,
I'm a 15 years old guy
I use Triad 2 and wilson deluxe pro, i know it's not really famous, but, I really like it
I would like to buy a new racquet , but i don't know which is good for me, any suggestion? I'm prefer babolat ^^
thx, please reply via email, danielo.jkt@gmail.com, thx
and please oversized racquet...
I use Head liquid metal l4, MP.
I played with the Prince MP Shark last year and had great success with it, and just moved to the Prince O3 White. Prince racquets are the way to go. Don't play with anything else. They are the technology leader! Check out www.tennisuniverse.net its a great new site.
I use a Head Liquidmetal Radical OS. One is more head hevier and the other and slightly imbalanced.
Babolat Pulsar Lite. Need a new racquet since I'm improving my game.
I had 2 Pro Staff Classic too, until last year.
I can't really remember my very first rackets (a noname and some Prince bought from my coach then). I only had to change them because they got cracks.
Then I bought 2 Pro Staff thinking then I could play like Edberg but...lol.
I couldn't stop breaking the frame with no apparent reason (didn't have enough money to afford a change on purpose :oP ). The improved version called "Classic" was the very best I had. Power and good feelings with every kind of stroke.
Last year, a frame broke when changing the strings...So went went to purchase the best update. The new Wilson are not as good. Tried Babolats as well...And 3 frames were almost perfect. The Pure drive is extraordinary, a bit too light for me though. I tried The Aeropro control...Again excellent frame but tiny sweespot and still felt a bit light. So I bought the Pure Drive Roddick because a bit heavier and stiffer. I'm delighted despite I'm not fan of Roddick's game, lol.
Although I think the best improvement has been made in strings.
Hiya, I been using price since I was 12, and it's a great racket. No wonder it's number one in Bollettieri! I use prince Shark, the one Maria Sharapova use to have.
I started out playing tennis with a Wilson Triad.
As soon as I kept hitting the ball out with that racket, I moved to a Babolat AeroDrive.
When I realized I need a bigger sweet spot, I moved to the Prince O3 Blue. Loved that.
Also tried the Babolat Pure Drive. Too stiff.
Now using a Prince O3 Red, which is just perfect for my skill level right now. Forgiving, great at the net, great power, easy on the arm.
Using Volkl DNX 8 & 9. Having problems deciding which one I like better.
Volkl T10 VE midhttp://rs.tennis-warehouse.com/tw/Pr...mages/T10V.JPG

Volkl DNX9
I use the prince tour diablo, I used to use the prince triple threat graphite.
Head Extreme: Crazy Power, Awesome Control .....Then there's Topspin ............ Yep: Loving it !!!
Babolat Aeropro Drive with Pro Hurricane Tour strings (16)
