Slazenger Pro Braided Racquets Customer feedback
Comments: I was attracted to this racquet because i am always looking for a diamond in the rough that
is not the most popular racquet around or the name brand. I also liked the price and the review from TW so I demoed.
It is a nice feeling racquet and the best qualities for me are serving and the maneuverability. It moves around the court
nicely and is crisp at contact. I like the 95sq in head size and the balance was nice. The downfalls to me were my
inability to hit consistent ground strokes. It lacked power and I seemed to leave everything short in front of the service
line. I so wanted this to be the racquet I switched to but I may need to get better at the game before I move to a stick
like this.
Comments: I was looking for a racquet to replace my Wilson K-Factor 6.1 95 18x20. I demo'd several
racquets
including the 2012 Babolat Pure Drive Roddick, Head Youtek IG Prestige MP, Boris Becker Delta Core Melbourne and the
Wilson
Juice Pro. The Slazenger Pro Braided tops them all. The open 16x18 string pattern gave me great access to top-spin
and power.
Ball control and placement was also top notch. Kick, slice and flat serves were all amazing. Where the racquet REALLY
shines
though, is at the net. The maneuverability of this racquet is almost telepathic. It's the perfect stick for the aggressive
all-court or
serve-n-volley player. This is truly an amazing no frills, get-the-job-done racquet! Definitely worth a demo for any
4.0+ player
who likes it at the net!
Comments: A decent racquet in stock form, but stiff feeling and somewhat torsionally unstable. I like it a
whole lot
more with a leather grip and 4 grams of lead a bit above 3 and 9 o'clock (with overgrip and rubber band dampener at
11.9 ounces). Still swings fairly easy but has a lot more stability and much nicer feel. This racquet really shines on
slicing,
blocking and volleying - very solid pop. On groundstrokes there is a lot of power and a high rebound angle so I had to
go more
western and work on getting more spin to control my shots, but after a few outings I feel pretty confident
with this stick.
Comments: A very classic feeling, solid racquet. It is stiff for my liking and quite powerful. Shots are
easily
directed/predictable and spin is easily generated. I would have preferred a hybrid string set up or a full poly to harness
the power.
Definitely an advanced player's frame, full strokes and a young, healthy arm required.
Comments: I liked the demo so much I had to buy one. Enjoyed it with a multi but it really came to life
with a poly
hybrid set up. Very stable frame and large sweet spot, added a leather grip which made the balance 8 points head light
and
boosted the weight up to 11.9 ounces. Perfecto.Groundstrokes are deep with nice spin and weight, serve is easy to spin
in with
some nasty bite and slice as well. The free t shirt is cool also, thanks for bringing this stick back to life Tennis
Warehouse.
Comments: This racquet is fantastic. Great control and spin. I was able to hit deep and heavy off both
sides. I have
a one handed backhand. There is a lovely crisp feel. I strung mine up with a full bed of multi at mid 50s. Good
pocketing. Very
solid on returns. Need early preparation and developed stroke. Slice serve out wide very effective. Good control on the
flat serve
and kicker, although not much more pace was added than usual. Enough heft to be stable on volleys and can return
half volleys
deep. Only downside is the quality of paint job and finish which were disappointing and not up the standard of most
racquet
manufacturers. Highly recommended for advanced players who like to play all-court.
Comments: Awesome racquet! I have recently came back to tennis after a 13 year absence. I have play
tested about
12 racquets over the last 3 months including the Wilson BLX 6.1 line, the Head Prestige line and the Dunlop 4D line and
this
racquet tops them all. My playing style is all court/ serve and volley and I tend to play with a lot of spin, especially slice.
With this
racquet I can hit any shot that I need to with lots of pace and control. This racquet is very stable and ideal for a one-
handed
backhand. I recommend this racquet to any intermediate and above player who is looking for a solid stick that is not
overly heavy.
Comments: I finally found a perfect racquet to replace my aging PSC 6.1 95s except it's a full .oz lighter
with
no stability issues because of its perfect blend of swingweight and headlight balance. I couldn't believe how connected I
am with
all my strokes and my serves. It's much easier to acquire and set up on my shots because of it's lighter weight. The
specs are
comparable to some of the highly priced modern rackets out there minus the space age tech that promises overnight
game
improvement! This racquet are for those purest with developed stroke mechanics who prefers control over power!
Comments: This is a solid frame that provides very good control and spin due to the 16x18 string
pattern. It does
not lack power if you take a full swing and have developed strokes. There is no stroke that you can take that will have a
negative
result, but it does not feel "plush" like the older Wilson Pro Staff frames. It is a perfect racquet for the price if you have
good
strokes.
Comments: This racquet is truly about control and spin potential with its open string bed. You have to
take a full
swing in order to get depth on your shots. With that said, the balls won't sail on you when you do take a good, strong
swing.
Though it has a high stiffness rating, it does not feel extremely stiff. I had no negative feedback with any ground
strokes, though
nothing felt outstanding. The serves with this racquet are predictable and you can definitely get some kick. It does not
feel light,
and as a result it is very stable. I would say that it is not as head light as I would like, but then it would lose the stability
that I had
mentioned it possessed. Overall it is a good, solid feeling racquet in which you can improve your ability to control your
strokes
and keep the ball in play without fear of hitting the ball long. While it is not a "power" racquet, if your strokes are good,
there is
enough weight to this frame to generate more than adequate power. Slazenger has created a true no-nonsense racquet
that can
be appreciated by most experienced players.
