Head TI S8

Advantages: Light, cheap for titanium
Disadvantages: Small racket head

...I purchased a TiS2 about a year and a half ago as I needed a light racket after injuring a hand in a footballing accident and the TiS2 was one of the lightest rackets around together with the TiS6. Most people in the club were going for the TiS6 which has a larger head and thicker frame. I find the racket easy to use and can handle all types of shots both with power from the base line and delicate touches around the net. I have only just replaced the strings after 1 and a half years. As newer rackets are now coming on the market the TiS2 is now an excellent choice as they can be picked up for near the £100 which is pretty good for a titanium racket.... Read review

This one is the Head Ti S5 racket. When you first set eyes on this beast, the size really hits you. You then pick it up, it is so light for its size – amazingly so. The design is nice and modern, dark and light grey, and it comes in its own protective case. I have had Head rackets before and I like the quality and design of their selections. So what’s it like to play with? --------------------------------------- Well very easy – its lightness means its easy to swing and its large head size means... Read review
