Player’s Rackets
These models are typically heavier (11.5 – 13+ ounces), with smaller heads (85 – 100 square inches), with thinner beams and usually more flexible with an even or head light balance. This type of racquet is low-powered, designed for players who provide their own power and need or want a racquet that offers more control. These racquets are usually standard or slightly longer. Roger Federer, the current world number one player uses a Wilson nSix-One Tour 990 nCode tennis racquet.
Wilson nSix-One Tour 90 nCode Racquets
The nSix-One Tour replaces the Pro Staff Tour 90 as Wilson’s flagship player’s racquet. The nSix-One Tour is designed to offer greater frame strength, more stability and more power. A good all around racquet, the nSix-One Tour 90 will reward those skilled enough to swing it with accuracy and good weight of shot. We found the racquet to play very stable, even when in use against hard-hitting opponents. Best suited to 5.0+ NTRP level players.
Babolat Pure Control Team Standard Racquets
If you’re looking for a no-nonsense, standard length, midplus (98 square inch) player’s racquet with a very stable, comfortable feel, the Pure Control from Babolat fits the bill. The Pure Control is ideal for players who like solid heft, stability and, as it’s name implies, control. Advanced and tournament level players will find the Pure Control is a diamond in the rough – and gaining popularity quickly. Used by several ATP and WTA Tour pros. Includes Babolat’s Woofer System grommet technology
Head Flexpoint Prestige Racquets
Midplus
As with the Mid, the Midplus offers a crisper, cleaner feel compared to previous Prestige racquets. Some extra beam stiffness results in a solid and stable feel from all areas of the court. The weight and mobility of the Midplus makes for a very stable racquet that’s more than up to the task of handling the heavy hitting found at the higher levels of play. We found this one well suited to all court players. There’s plenty of control from the baseline and a little extra pop compared to previous versions. Advanced players will still find this racquet mobile when pushing forward, yet there is ample weight and a crisp feel, allowing the player to stick volleys with plenty of gumption. The larger sweetspot and more forgiving nature of the Midplus headsizes makes this a solid choice for 4.5+ level players who take long, fast swings at the ball.
