Hey all,
I'm a recreational player, who plays outdoor, mostly doubles, but singles too, and we play with Mavis 350's. I'm about 6'4, not entirely the fastest, trying to develop a 'smart' game (i.e. drops+smashes+clearances). My 'trouble' areas, shot-wise, seem to be deep clearances (especially backhand), and deft drops. I have a decent swing speed, i think.
One of the more experienced players at the Court advised me to get a Yonex racquet, Even Balance, and 3U.
After hours of internet research, I've shortlisted the following:
Yonex Arcsaber 002
Yonex Arcsaber 003 - Mixed reviews. Mostly good. But 002 and 003 seem to be at par?
Yonex Arcsaber D18 - Absolutely no cogent reviews anywhere!
Yonex Muscle Power 22 - Only one i've actually played. Found it a tad heavy, but was told it was the thicker add-on grip which was making it feel so, otherwise decent.
Yonex Muscle Power 29 - Slightly more expensive, but within upper-limit of the budget.
There are other options - Nanospeed Beta, Sigma, Nanoray 10, 23, D23 (?) and Arcsaber Delta and Omega (read somewhere to stay away from 'Greek' names..haha.. true?) - They didn't make the shortlist either because they were head light (i.e. not 'even balance' as recommended), or i couldnt find any reviews whatsoever on this website, making me think they're either fake, or just unpopular.
NOW. Do help me choose between those, or recommend others? I stay in India, and will be ordering online.
Looking to order this week!
