Comments: I broke 2 of these racquets, one from an overhead and one from continuous touches on the ground for scrambles. I also ordered a demo that arrived completely broken at the throat. Still, I continue to buy this racquet.
From: Heidi, 1/12

Comments: After getting a demo , I ordered 2 new Tidal Waves strung at 58 . They were good for a month. One day after another , they both broke in the same spot, upper central rim. They were used alternatively , with no particular over usage, by a 12 year old girl. No racquet abuse at all, just split open after a normal forehand shot. Disappointed.

String type and tension: Luxilon @ 58 lbs.

Comments: This racquet is comfortable, and has good power, but it is way to light for my taste. I felt compelled to add 7.5 grams of lead tape at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions for a total of 15g. I then added another 6g of lead on the handle to maintain it's head light balance. Wow!, is like night and day! You see people, weight is good! My racquet now weights 10.84 ounces strung and is still head light. Still light, but I can deal with it! Shots now land deeper than before due to the extra mass. I can serve bombs, and still play well at the net. The extra mass made it possible for me to hit a "heavier" ball that makes my opponents crazy. You can only hit a heavy ball if the frame has mass. At a lot more than the 9.9 ounce strung stock weight. But, anyways, if you are a beginner, than the stock weight might work for you, but, if you are an advance player, than more weight is needed in order to accomplish peak performance.

NTRP Rating: 4.0

Comments: I really like this stick. Fast, maneuverable, and easy to get power on groundstrokes. Great for those little flick passes and any shot where you can't get your whole body behind it. My backhand has gone from a weakness to a strength using this racquet. It would be nice to have a little more feel though. Great racquet!

String type and tension: Wilson Red Alert

Comments: This racquet is very comfortable with zero racquet vibration, I found it to hit very solid, also got good depth with my groundstrokes. Up at the net, it was not as forgiving as some racquets because of the smaller head size but still a really good racquet overall. I would suggest it for a player that wants good control and comfort.

String type and tension: Polyfibre TCS 17
NTRP Rating: 5.0

Comments: This is quite a rarity to find a racquet that is as light, and yet have such a head light balance. Flexible enough as well so it is comfortable on the arm. But it requires full, fast strokes since it is a little under-powered. I will need to play around with the tension and the string type, and might add some lead tape for mass but without changing the head light balance drastically. This is a good bargain, seems identical to the Tidal Force racquets in specs. Very good for 12 years old who are beginning tennis.

Comments: This is the best racquet I've played with. Super light and plenty of power and control. Basalt is great, 3 hours of playing and minimum vibration to my arm. Sale price is so cheap too.

NTRP Rating: 3.5

Comments: This racquet is super light and therefore you can swing REALLY fast and precisely. Obviously you need to generate your own power though and it's a bit for difficult to keep hitting deeper. My serve is 150% better because I can pronate so easily. Volleys are surprisingly a bit difficult because the racquet shakes if a ball is coming too fast. BLX feel is terrific. Basalt makes a difference.

Comments: This racquet is a good racquet, but a little too light for my taste ... forgot to check the weight before I tried it out. I found it great for volleying, though. Give it a 7/10 overall.
From: Jacob. 6/11

Comments: I've been playing with this racquet for about 4 months now and really like it. I have severe tennis elbow problems, so I tried many racquets that had low stiffness, head heavy, and overall reasonably light weight in an attempt to help my elbow. This one worked best for me of those racquets that incorporate these features. I strung it with very low tension using the Wilson NXT Tour 17 string. The combination of racquet and string has really helped my arm.

Comments: I just got this racquet on Monday, and boy is this racquet good, it has good control, and I have a bigger serve with this racquet. Also, with this racquet you don't need to swing hard, this racquet for people who play a well rounded game.

Comments: I was surprised at the solidness of the feel for such a light racquet, but the control was especially rewarding. My game already has lots of power and this racquet added the control I needed on my groundstrokes. I was able to get good power on the serve with excellent placement.All-in-all, I think this is a very good racquet and helped me with my game.
