Comments: This racquet really is bad. Even for me, i really am bad. I got this racquet a couple months ago and I agree that you shank every ball. I hate this racquet. My old hyper hammer was better.

Comments: This is the worst racquet ever, every ball feels like a shank and yes I was hitting the sweet spot of the racquet. I'm not sure if the demo was broken or if it is just the way it is supposed to feel but I am totally unhappy with the performance of the racquet.

Comments: My friend was looking for a new racquet and I encouraged him to buy one of the new Adidas racquets and he chose this one. He loves it. After playing with it for 3 hours he let me take a test drive. It's a solid racquet considering it's lightweight. The power is decent but good enough to put the ball away. The control is quite good too. After reading the good reviews on these racquets I was not disappointed at all. I might switch from my POG OS and go to a Barricade Tour Light.

Comments: Very impressive! In comparison to my old sticks, Wilson KSix-One Tour 90/Tour 90, and then to the lighter Wilson KTour (the orange one): The racquet weight was very good. I was worried about going down in weight from the KSix-One Tour 90 and after about 5 minutes that concern was gone. The head lightness of the stick gives it great maneuverability and the lack of weight produced faster swing speeds and saves my shoulder. I liked heavier racquets because of the "smooth" power, but this stick has it without the weight. The weights Adidas added to the frame on the 3+9 position makes it very balanced. It also makes a much bigger sweet spot. I now can produce the power I had with the Wilson KSix-One Tour 90, and the control I had with the Tour. Best of both worlds. Ground strokes are more penetrating and have more spin (lots more spin). Serve is not as "heavy" as the Wilson KSix-One Tour 90, but the kick produced is unreal. I'll take 20% off power to add 40% spin/kick any day. Volleys are crisp and solid. Again, the large sweet spot allows for some off-center hits. The immediate change I felt and liked was the ability to "buggy-whip" like a champ. The string pattern gives massive control and the weighting allows for lots of racquet head speed and spin. The only drawback (not really a drawback) I found to the racquet was I HAD to swing through the ball. With my Wilson racquets, I could get away with a half hazard, or abbreviated swing, but not with this racquet. HAVE to swing/push through the ball. It was a simple adjustment and increased my aggressiveness. Failure to swing through the ball produces a very limp shot and lots of errors due to not enough topspin. Keep racquet speed up. I recommend this racquet to anyone with a large swing/high swing speed wanting to save his or her arm from a heavy stick, but doesn't want to lose performance.

Comments: An all-around solid racquet. This racquet gives back just what you give it. Feels exactly like a cross between a Wilson nSix-One 95, and Babalot Pure Control. Hitting from the baseline with this frame was a dream. It has tons of control, and I was able to guide my shots exactly where I wanted them. It is also extremely stable, which is a strong selling point for this frame. I was able to generate some serious pace on my groundstrokes when I had time to set up for my shots. I'm surprised that the other reviewer wasn't able to generate any on the serve, as I was able to generate tons of pace. The feel is somewhat muted, due to the dense string pattern, but when you hit the sweet spot, that's when you can really get an appreciation with this racquet. I would highly recommended to 4.5 players and above, who are looking for a racquet that can do anything really well. I'm seriously thinking of getting a few myself.

Comments: Awesome racquet! I love the pop on the groundstrokes, really sound and steady helps stay in the rallies. Slicing is easier to put deep. Volleys come natural. Not much pop on the serve but the control is good. It's a keeper for me This is a great racquet for an all around player.

Comments: Feels like a 98 headsize racquet. I have a 93 which is clearly smaller but my 98 looks the same. The weight and stability of the racquet seem solid albeit I haven't had enough singles play with it yet. But I do prefer the feel of it over the new Prince racquet. With that I could get more action on the forehand but I like serving and hitting backhands with this racquet more. The handle is comfortable and easily long enough for two-hand backhands. It kind of has this hollow feel to it. It is the only handle that I thought I could break it in half but it feels sturdy enough.
