what kind of racquet do you hit with? I have two Head (I hear Beavis and Butthead snickering) racquets that I hit with and really like. I have seen a lot of folks hitting with Babalots and heard good about them. Anyone hit with a Babalot racquet? If so, what is so good about it?

i was actually an amateur tennis player and had all my gear provided for by nike when i was like 13. This isn't as big an accomplishment as it might sound, since they sponsor pretty much every single top junior per region.

I use a Dunlop 200g which are only sold on ebay and are kinda expensive. when i was playing nike would buy them for me and paint them nike colors.

anyway what kind of player are you, what is your game, what is your skill, etc and i can answer this

I started playing about a year and a half ago to get more exercise outside of the gym. My co-worker and I play about 3 - 4 nights a week. He was at one time semi-pro and has played/coached for many years, so I have learned a lot in that time. I do not know how to answer what my game or skill is but if I had to I would say that I may be a little above average. I still tend to hit over the ball quite a bit (I break a shitload of strings) but am getting better at hitting the corners and controlling the ball. I am playing around with the tension of the strings, I seem to be more comfortable with a looser strung racquet, but then again I played tonight with tightly strung racquet and was hitting better than usual - so I dunno.

I live in Mooresville.

well if you can make it into charlotte go to Don's

he's one little guy and he's been there for thirty years. the best way to get a racquet is to try them out. they cost like a dollar a day to rent. hit a bucket of serves and a machine full of ground strokes.

or just go to to a pga superstore or whatever the only way to choose a racquet is to hit with it.

I'll have to do that. Thanks.

Babolat makes a good racquet. I hit with a Wilson (older model Federer used) but that is my personal preference because I love the heavy weight and feel of it. I get my racquets from a tennis pro in Concord because I can try them out for free and pay 1/4 the price of a new one.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      These arguments are getting more and more disingenuous from both the pro and anti Bryce crowd. Bryce looked very good for stretches down the final 8 games. He finally showed glimpses of the guy that was projected as a top QB pick in the draft. Bryce also didn't look like a top 10 NFL QB.  I think we are so far removed from Prime Cam that we forget what an elite QB looks like. I could tell that when people were losing their minds and simping for Sam Darnold. This season needs to finally showcase Bryce as a franchise talent. If that doesn't happen, it's time to pivot. There are very few recent examples of QB's struggling or being a mixed bag through the first three seasons of starting and then suddenly becoming frachise caliber players.

      Are you arguing that his height deficiencies and footwork within the pocket have not been a present issue clearly seen on his game tape particularly in the games he struggled in? Because that's simply denying what everyone in this fanbase who have watched the games have seen. It's interesting how hardline BY fans here quickly and effortlessly pivot from whailing about being victimized to becoming the aggressor and hurling out allegations of bias and hatred. And at the end of the day while Bryce Young clearly improved significantly from the first two games of the season the reality of the situation is he still finished 42nd in yards per pass attempt behind Mac Jones and tied with Caleb Williams and 38th in passing yards per game behind the likes of Gardner Minshew Aidan O'Connell Drake Maye and Will Levis. Furthermore it took Bryce Young 23 games to surpass Panthers legend Kyle Allen's 13 games worth of passing yardage in 2019. So if your argument is he became a head and shoulders better passer over the course of the second half of the season the reality is we're still waiting to see that growth this season. And there is nothing controversial or vitriolic about saying so from the mind of a rational observer.
