Wilson K3 Tennis Racket

Advantages: Good control racket
Disadvantages: Heavy racket

...Roger Federer's racket for the tour, the one he has been using from the Australian Open 2007 onwards. The racket comes from Wilson. When I play with this racket, I found that the racket swings through just a bit quicker than the nSix One Tour (the old style racket). It gave the impression of being a bit more aerodynamic through the air, both for groundstrokes and serves, thus adding power. The string bed seeemed to give more bite on the ball which gave more potential for spin & control. Conclusion: If you have the ability to cope with a heavy racket, then you will definately get more power and control from your game. Would suit all advanced players or extreme hard hitters. Wilson are always my racket of choice from the first time I pickd up the original pro staff tour (Sampras's racket of choice)... Read review

Advantages: spin, power, good strings and style
Disadvantages: heavy racket

...Okay, I don't officially own this racket but I ordered a few tennis rackets on trial and the Babolat AeroPro Plus is one of them. As used by Rafael Nadal. I found it personally a bit on the heavy side ( about 11.1oz strung). Nevertheless this racket does feel good especially when used for various spin shots and baseline shots. I found it especially good for slice serving, it really gives a nice kick and due to the longer length of the racket it enabled me to reach a bit further when I am stretching and greatly benefits on my serve. In my opinion this is a head heavy racket combined this with the cortex filter system (reduces vibration) and aero frame design it gives a better feel of the ball and enhances maneuverability meaning that more power can be generated. It has a nice size head at 100sq.in. which gives a nice sized sweet... Read review

Advantages: A lot of power and a large sweet spot
Disadvantages: Paintwork etc prome to being chipped away easily

...Provided you have reasonably powerful legs and arms, and basic core strength this racket will treat you very well. It will deliver for you countless inside-out forhand winners and vicious down the line drives with great satisfaction and little effort. However, you do need strength to use this racket - and proper technique is a necessity if you plan on using any babolat. Countless times my friends attempt to use my Aero Pro Drive without proper tennis coaching and find balls spinning hopelessly over the court fencing! This racket has massive power at its disposal but to release it without a lot of effort on your behalf you must have a consistent and effective technique in both bread and butter baseline swings. If you feel that this is the racket for you, i would recommend trying it (or any similar Babolat model) first to make sure you... Read review
