Comments: I have been playing with the 500 Tour for the last couple of years and liked it better than the 200, 300 overall, but could not generate the control I wanted and found it a little unforgiving. I recently did a demo with the F5 and Wilson 99S. Both racquets offered more control particularly the Wilson with its spin generation but the F5 had a lot more power, felt more solid, and even with its string pattern generated very good spin. The new F5 head design definitely offers a much bigger sweet spot and was better for serve and volleying. When hitting out aggressively, the control and power is noticeably better than the 500 Tour. I viewed the Wilson as a break though racquet and really liked it, but overall had to give the nod to the F5 it is one sweet hitting racquet and the power and control was great.

Comments: I am a (not young) 4.5 player who grew up on the aesthetically stunning Davis Imperial racquets and only reluctantly gave up wood and recently purchased this dynamite new Dunlop racquet (inspired by Amalgros's beautiful backhand)! After sustaining a sever elbow injury after playing for years with weapon-like, clubs (Pete's Wilson Pro Staff 85, Roger's Wilson Blx 90) which left my arm in Lord Nelson (post-Trafalgar)/Venus de Milo kinda shape. My, oh my, what a pleasure this all around solid racquet is! My arm is thriving and the comparatively Texas-size sweet spot is a pleasure to be behold!
