Comments: Used this racquet for a year and a half, when I was first starting out. Great for beginners to intermediates.
From: Andy, 5/13

Comments: I customized this racquet by cutting it back to 27." I removed the cover of the butt cap and stuffed as many cotton balls as I could down both sides. This brought the frame up to 10 oz. and an even balance. This makes the frame much more stable on off-center hits and volleys and still has good power and performance. The open string pattern makes for easier spin too. I used to use the "players" frames and "tweeners," but now, with the modifications I made, this is working well. I'm a 3.5 level player, all-court singles, serve and volley doubles player. And I use Wilson Sensation 17 at 53lbs.

Comments: I've been playing for about 25 years and I've used this racquet for many years and I bought a Wilson tempest four to replace it (although very light never felt comfortable to play with) so back again to the Ti.S6 then it broke, I ordered 2 Head TI.S6 racquets. These racquets are great, very light and powerful. I do not think I can find a better racquet than this.
From: Pablo, 4/13

Comments: I am a racquet addict, I have tested almost everything in the market, however I wanted myself to be always far from OS frames. Well, recently I was late when hitting with hard hitters with my over 11 oz frames that were my prefered ones, a friend told me to try a bigger racquet so I bought two of these babies. At first I was skeptical because these huge frames are popular for beginners or old people. What a surprise though, I can use my long fast swing with it obtaining good depth with crazy topspin, I have learned also you have to use a semi-western grip to rip the ball enough, otherwise my shots were landing out of the court, the serves were the best of my life, a lot of power, smashes and volleys a dream because I was able to do very short angles with this racquet, my two hand backhand landed deep and hard with not too much effort, drop shots with a lot of spin, in general the best racquet I ever hit with, the best you can play with it using the long and fast swing as it was a Wilson Pro staff or a Head Pro Tour but with minimal effort, one more thing, use a tension of 50 lbs with a soft poly and prepare to defeat anyone, I love this racquet.
From: Anon, 4/13

Comments: This is a turbo-charged, super-light, rocket launcher in sharp contrast to the heavy player's racquets that I am used to. But the ease of swing, the comfort, and the effortless power are so addictive that I went ahead and bought one! You need to shorten your swing and hit with topspin, otherwise the ball will fly out of control. I suggest applying lead tape near the handle to mitigate the head heavy balance. The racquet is very stiff and it would be wise to use a softer string at low tension to avoid tennis elbow. Those macho guys out there with a false notion that this is a "granny stick," just swallow your pride and give it a try and you will be pleasantly surprised. Apparently this is the most popular stick amongst recreational players, and I hope that Head continues to make this gem available for future generations.

Comments: After suffering both tennis and golfers elbow a coach told me to get the lightest racquet I could find. A friend had the TiS6 and recommended it. As soon as I hit with this racquet the pain disappeared. I thought of this as an old timers stick and not for serious players, what a mistake. I have played some superb tennis with this racquet and my opponents have told me never to change as it has improved my game noticeably. I had reached and ITF rating of 149 in the 55s and was reluctant to change but there is no going back for me now. Forget the ego and try this one. The only issue I had was I strung it with gut and kept snapping strings every three sets or so, I now use Babolat excel at 55lbs and the racquet is a dream.
From: Anon, 3/13

Comments: I've had this racquet for about a year now and I at first was very surprised by the power but I soon found out putting topspin on my forehand was just painful to do with this racquet.. If you want only power I recommend this racquet. I had to switch to the Aero Pro.
From: Andy, 2/13

Comments: I have been playing with this racquet for about 12 years. I've left it briefly three or four times and tried other racquets because I kept believing and hearing this was not a serious racquet to play with. But because of its great control, comfort, lightness and touch, I always found myself returning to the Ti.S6. I could not find anything better that helped my mostly back court game like this did. I still keep taking out demos and looking to find a more modern and better weapon. I've begun to feel like I'm wasting my time. But I'm very happy with my Ti.S6. So are most people who ask to hit with it.

From: Alison, 10/12

Comments: I agree with the last commentator. This is a great racquet. I'm an 83-year old former tournament player, college coach and hitting coach. With this racquet, which may not meet the standards of the so-called "tennis elite", but I guarantee I can pretty much outhit most players 40 to 50 years younger than me. My serve has been clocked at 111 mph with this racquet and believe it does everything you need it to do. I have wandered to other sticks from time to time, but always come back to the S6. As my dear father would say, "you pay your money...and takes your choice." And this would be a very wise choice.

From: Anon, 6/12

Comments: I have recently started playing tennis and this was my first racquet. This racquet was a good first racquet and offers pretty good control and power from all parts of the court. The problems I had with this racquet is that it is I incredibly stiff and caused me wrist pains. The second is that with the oversized frame I felt like I didn't have control of the racquet. Due to my wrist pains I would not recommend this racquet.
From: Wil, 4/12

Comments: This racket is much more head-heavy than my previous stick and gave backswing problems on my long semi-western forehand for a while. Had to start the loop backswing/grip change much earlier and consciously get to the lowest point of the swing early on. Once I did that, it was ok. Gave 10% more power and 15% more spin. For shorter strokes, did not have this problem.
From: Edge, 3/12

Comments: I got this racquet to get more bite on my backhand slice which is a compact cutting stroke. Worked great and also improved my volleys. The heavy head is very stable n goes thru hard/heavy/fast balls hit to u even though racquet overall is light. Other strokes: My forehand is a semi-western long stroke with heavy topspin-the racquet did not affect it much but I got maybe 15% more spin from the big face and less mishits, same for my basic kick serve. Generally, this racquet increased my bite a lot on short/compact strokes like my backhand slice and volleys, didn't affect long strokes like my forehand much, but gave more spin on all strokes. It has helped my game, don't listen to those who say it is for beginners etc. If u want more spin overall, n more bite on compact strokes like backhand slice, blocks n volleys, this racquet will help.

Comments: I started tennis at age 40, and now 20 years later I'm ready to move to a lighter, larger frames. Tried many, settled on this one.

From: Nikos, 11/11

Comments: I totally love this racquet! I've been using 11 ounce Prince and Head racquets, but switching to this head-heavy super lightweight has changed my thinking. The oversized sweet spot allows me to hit out on groundstrokes with lots of confidence, volleys are a breeze, and I can generate tons of power and spin on the serve. And the ball goes where I want - deep, wide, drop, spin - whatever. I previously stayed away from very light racquets because I feared they would screw up my stroke timing, but the plow-through on the Ti.S6 is great and easy on the arm. I can't say enough - there's a reason for it's enormous popularity.

Comments: I am a 4.0 open player. My frames are heavy 12 ounce, head light, and flexible. They are a Prince Original Graphite and Head Radical Tours. Since I have never hit one of these light weight, head heavy big sticks I wanted to for fun. First off, I was shocked at the low power. I thought it would be an uncontrollable missile launcher. To my surprise, I found I could spin the ball in from everywhere! This frame is the polar opposite of what I play with. I bought the demo and modified it. Lead tape under the grip brought it to 10.5 oz and about 3 points head heavy. It plays amazing now. I ordered 2 more at Tennis Warehouse.

Generating a lot of power, even with the factory strings, great for baseline play, easy on the net, reaching balls as it is an oversize. For my level, it is really a game improvement racquet.
From: Alex, Heraklion, Crete, Greece, 7/11

Comments: Amazing racquet for the price! The tall head helps with my serve a lot as well as my strokes. I got a different grip because it lost its tackiness after a few months. It really does need to be restrung though. The strings that came with it were horrible.

I have a great serve with it, great flat forehand and forehand slice, and backhands are also good. GREAT RACQUET FOR REALLY GOOD BEGINNERS. :)

I have had a Prince O3 Silver and 03 Blue, Head Metallix 115, and currently use a Prince Ozone 4, but this racquet has surprised me with its power level. And this is with the crappy factory strings, imagine what it will do with a re-string!? It definitely needs better strings to give a little more feel and control, but, for first up hitting, my girlfriend who is an A grader, said I am playing better with it in place of my Prince Ozone 4. To those people who have condemned it, shame on you, it is good for Intermediate players too.
From: John, Auckland, New Zealand. 8/10

Comments: Good racquet for the price. I would recommend for intermediate level players, but it can be used by higher level, and even some beginners. I used this racquet for about 2 years, but I feel it is hard to hit back very hard serves with any placement. Has good control on it, but not too much power. With a good rip you can get a decent amount of spin on the ball. Hits slice serves nicely, but flat serves lacked. Recommended NTRP: 3.0+

Comments: When I first tried this racquet, I felt I could not miss. The sweet spot is huge. A great Doubles racquet, provides lots of spin and since it it is extra long, I can reach for balls I would not normally be able to get to. A huge advantage for the serve and overheads since the contact point is higher. I feel taller. I am a teaching pro and have tried other racquets because the TI.S6 is not considered "an advanced racquet" among the tennis elite. However, I keep coming back to it as I proceed to lay the smack down on them when I play competitive doubles. To me given the price and performance, it is a no-brainer.

Comments: This racquet is very nice for players that are just beginning or don't want to use too much of their own power. Serving wise, I wasn't really fond of it as it was too easy to hit the ball too deep. Definitely not the most forgiving racket on serves. I found this racket to really be a baseliner's racquet. If you have a good controlled forehand/backhand this racket can work very well for putting a lot of power into your shots. It's nice for developing players, but as you begin to generate your own power an upgrade with more control would be better. I still use it as a backup though. I played with it too long to just toss it aside.

Comments: Great racquet for serve, volley, and backhand slice. I balanced the racquet by removing the grip, and taped about 5in of 1/2" lead tape close to the base of grip. This also makes the base of the grip more like a bulb end of a hammer grip, and still leave the rest of it close to the original grip size. Ended up with a grip size around 4 5/8" when finished, but the racquet is now balance for good control and added weight to handle heavy serves and heavy hits. After the mod, started to play with more spin and it plays very well with the Ashaway Crossfire 17. Will try Forten Aramid Gear string next for more spin. Overall a good racquet after some mods. Will buy another one with smaller grip 4 1/4" size to mod to around 4 1/2" which is the grip size I normally play with. A note that adding weight to the head does not help that much since the racquet is already head heavy but very light. Adding weight close to the base of the handle to balance out the racquet is the way to go. My two cents input ;-).

Comments: I have just started using this racquet after trying one that another tennis coach was using. I found that I could control my serves much easier than with my Babolat Pure Storm+. I have used other Head racquets and have found this one to be the best of them hands down. I read the comments about returning power serves and strokes and have found that I have not had any issues. If you feel it is not weighty enough, try adding some lead tape to the head. I did have to adjust my stroke because of the extra power so I wouldn't hit it past the baseline. The one issue I have found and only by talking to others, is that on rare occasion the head may break. Usually those people like to strike their racquet on the ground. As a High School tennis coach I would highly recommend this racquet.

If you are capable of quick racquet preparation and know how to control your swing speed, you can do almost anything with this stick. I know at least three other 4.5 to 5.0 player using it. That said, it isn't my primary racquet, but is a great back up for those days when I am tired, sore, and don't feel like swinging for the fences. It's a great serving weapon too. I have both the original Austrian and China versions. The Austrian is better if you can find one.

I actually do much better against those types of players with this racquet because all I have to do is stick the racquet out and it blocks back the pace easily. I found when people dink you and you have to create your own power by swinging the racquet through, and it's very easy to send the ball long that way.

Comments: Ok here is the take on the TIS6 from my perspective. The minuses: It is for the most part a beginning players or weekend warriors racket, it is way too light for serious players. Having said that to each his own. If you are a serious level player and are using this with success more power to ya and enjoy but the odds are you are one of the few at that level using this. What this is good for are balls that are coming at you no more than 40-60 mph tops; if you try using this racket against a player serving 80 or 90 + mph you cannot get a solid return no matter what, there is just not enough weight behind this racket to have any control whatsoever and to be honest you'll spend the most part of the return just trying to keep the racket from getting knocked loose from your hand this is not an exaggeration I tried and tried with this thing and I couldn't get it to work against any serves with any speed. As soon as I switched to my other rackets (liquidmetal 4 or Radical Midplus) there was the instant hefty solid feel and return and don't forget the LM4 is considered light at 10.5 oz that's 2 oz heavier than the TIS6. so this thing just is not for me.
The pluses: You can absolutely smoke your serves and passing shots with this if you learn to control it. You can with slow balls coming at you, but you'll have the same problem mentioned above if someone puts any speed on the ball at all. It's a lot easier to keep in the park than one could imagine with such a large head and high string tension I really had no problem with that at all I found it very controllable on ground strokes and the spin you can generate is quite amazing.
From: Anon. 11/08

Comments: I love this racquet, It has a huge sweet spot and can generate lots of power. But if you're not careful your ball will tend to go out past the baseline. Accuracy is good and I would know because I tend to beat people by accuracy and power on my groundstrokes. Great racquet!
From: Will, Cleveland, Oh. 9/08

Comments: This racquet has a huge amount of power, which makes it a good choice for beginners. What the racquet lacks is control. I've been playing tennis with this racquet for 3 years and I can't control my shots as well as I want to. I usually hit the ball 4 or 5 feet from where I aim them and sometimes that can make the ball go out. Overall, this racquet is great for beginners but after you get to a 4.0 NTRP rating you should switch to a heavier stick.

Comments: Even though there are people who have bad reviews for this racquet, you really have to try it to have an opinion about it. Although it has a lot of power, it doesn't lack control. I found it easier to hit flat strokes with this racquet than any other one. I have both the K Factor Six-One Racquet and this Head Titanium and I always prefer to hit with this racquet. It is very Light and much More comfortable than the k Factor and you can get much more power. Well It All Depends On how much strength you have, if you have power on your own you can you the k Factor but if you lack power then definitely use the Head Titanium.

Comments: This racket is absolutely only for beginners. 3 out of 14 teammates on my high school team use this racket and none of them can return my serve because of the light weight.

I purchased the Ti S6 in January 2008 and my girlfriend fell in love with tennis because of it. I bought the Ti S6 Liquidmetal Edition in March and my friend borrowed it. He never returned it and bought it from me. In May 2008 I bought the Ti S6 Supreme and when another friend tried to buy it for me, I just said buy your own :)! Really fell in love with this racquet! I can learn improving my backhand until my opponents really hate it when I return their serves completely passing the net player. I'd suggest every beginner start with this infamous racquet and gradually upgrade to heavier Metallix series.

Comments: I've had this racket for about a year and a half now. The power on this stick is just crazy. I'll barely even swing on returning a serve, and the ball will just rocket off my racket. Spins come pretty easily, but I found topspin to be easier to hit than slicing with this thing. Not a very accurate racket by any means, but I was still able to place shots within 2-3 feet of where I wanted it to go. Serving is rather hard to do. Groundstrokes are fine. A great racket for beginners.

I generate so much power and spin with this racquet that I broke the strings in two months starting out as a beginner. Although I was a beginner I am now a lot better and this racquet is still super good since the follow through requires little energy to hit, and it has a huge sweetspot. The reach is incredible too with this racket. The only down side is the positioning of the ball, but it can still hit within a 3 foot radius of where you're trying to hit it. Don't listen to others who dislike it. Major spin!

Strings break a lot easier, and the light frame makes it hard to return shots. If you put in quality strings at a high tension, that should help. Volleys are acceptable. Overall, it's an okay racquet if you can get used to the lightness. I think I will stick to my HEAD MicroGEL Extreme Pro. This is a good third or fourth backup racquet to have.

Comments: I was amazed at reading all the comments regarding this racquet. It was regarded as one of the best- selling racquets in Australia by HEAD. It was not recommended for a younger player generally,as they usually want to generate their own power with a narrower body racquet, as most pros do on the circuit. I have an original Ti S6, and when I saw the price of this racquet, I jumped at the chance to purchase four. I also have the next 3 racquets it was replaced with in Australia. It's funny reading comments by players stating that the racquet is not good at topspin, volleys, smashes etc. Hellooooo, you're the player and you're supposed to do all of those shots, not the racquet. It certainly helps if the racquet feels good when you are making those shots. For those who really know tennis, what suits you may not necessarily suit others. Your game may be played in a different way to others. That is why you should try racquets before you purchase them.

Comments: Head Ti 6 is a great racket. Only when one gets used to this one they know the use of it. Just few shots really one cannot judge the worth of this racket. The contact sound is amazing and motivating. I am using for the last two years, I need to buy a new one shortly

Comments: Don't get this racquet. This racquet is okay for beginners since it's very light and packs a lot of power while using very little effort. Only problem is that you WILL NOT get better by playing with such a racquet. Of course if you're old and are playing the tennis for recreational purposes then this would be useful, but if you're an ambitious player who wants to get better then you've been warned.

Comments: I play for the varsity team in my school and I have used this racquet since I was 12 years old. This racket has great power, at little effort, and the spin you can create is simply amazing. The lightness of the racket is very useful for players that want lots of power and control at half the expected weight.

String type and tension: Gamma TNT 65 lbs

Comments: This racket just doesn't cut it, even for beginners. Don't let the price fool you; this racket is not a racket that's going to improve your game. It offers all power without any effort, yet lacks control and serving capabilities. I would only recommend this racket if you are a serious net attacker/volleyer, where the enormous head size would come in handy. Quite frankly, this racket just isn't a racket that you can play seriously with and get better at tennis with (that is, unless you're an old lady who wants to hit the ball a mile away simply by tapping it).
From: John, Chelmsford, MA, USA, 06/07

Comments: Amazing. I've gotten more power, control, and accuracy with this racquet. Its large head has helped me get the sweetspot almost every time. Perfect for fine-tuning your game and becoming a better player in between intermediate and competitive stages. I recommend this to anyone searching for a racquet that allows one to generate power effortlessly while still maintaining a large degree of control on your "winner" shots.

Comments: I found this racket to be very comfortable for my game comprising of topspin, back hand slices, over head smashes and placements. I saw a younger guy using this racket very well. He hits forehand and backhand shots with awesome power. He serves also with great power, which I have learned after seeing him do. My game and ball control have improved after I got used to the lightweight.

Comments: Eh, this racquet is for beginners. I mean beginners beginners! It contributes power, but that's about it. No control. So, if you want to start the game of tennis and see how you like it, then definitely get this racquet. If you're 3.0+, then no, get another racquet.

NTRP Rating: 3.5-4.0

Comments: I would definitely not recommend this racquet to a player who likes to attack. It is a weak racquet unless you would like to take the time to customize it. It has a pretty good amount of topspin but a find this racquet very weak and annoying to big servers and hard hitting opponents. This racquet is great for beginners but once you reach at least the 3.5 NTRP, look for a new racquet now that you have improved your serve, groundstrokes, volleys, overheads, etc.

Comments: This was my first racquet and my game really improved with it. I liked it with a higher string tension. Serving was good but groundstrokes and forehands were unpredictable. Backhands were more reliable since the forehand would not have as much control. It's a good one to get you started but once I reached a higher level of play it was difficult to work with. It was light and it produced tremendous power but it was inconsistent. I now play with a Head liquidmetal radical and it's working out great.

Comments:I bought this racket because my friend had a Ti.s1 and I really like it so I got the s6 it the best racquet I have ever had. Everything about it is perfect but if you like to swing faster, then it's not the racket for you or if you like too much power. I broke the frame of my racquet in mid air when I slammed the ball after a year. Even though it broke I still plan to get the same racket.

Comments: Real light racket, with nice power, and no vibrations. I bought it after I lost my Wilson prostaff (classic). I know it's a huge change but I started to like my new choice. It has more power and is more comfortable because of the light weight. I feel like my shots are 3 times more powerful with it.
From: Michael, Kousba Koura, Lebanon. 10/06

Comments: I have always played with my Prince racquet and someone bought me the TiS6 3 weeks ago. I am so amazed how much my game has improved in this time. I get some crazy spin, especially with my drop shots. I normally have heavy top- spin shots and I can still control it with this racquet. The ball definitely jumps more. The only problem I am having so far with the TiS6 is that I am having to change my serve. I am getting too much power and am having to get more spin, but I am getting this wicked hard slice serve where my playing partner says he has no chance to get it. I am definitely pleased with my investment!
From: A., FL, USA. 9/06

Comments: Played a couple of times. Shock absorption is pretty awesome, key in my selection because I broke my arm 15 years ago. More top spin in my forehand, and see improvement in my backhand thanks to its lightweight. Felt a bit light when it comes to serving. I think it's most valuable as a game improvement racquet for now. Look elsewhere if you're looking for power.
From: Anon, Tulsa, OK, USA 09/06

Comments: I started playing with this racquet about 6 years ago. Then I switched to a heavier racquet because it was beginning to be too light for my shots. I've been using the Flexpoint Prestige for about a year now and there was one time three months ago I broke the strings and the only racquet in my bag was the Ti.S6 that my brother was using. I had to use it and to my surprise I felt like I was playing like a pro. My topspins got heavier and my serve was really strong and penetrating. I said to my self, WOW! I haven't restrung the Flexpoint Prestige yet and I've been using the Ti.S6 ever since. Now I just tightened my tension to add more control because I already get the power from the Ti.S6.

I sped up my serve and all of my other shots for that matter. Also the spin capabilities of this racquet are amazing. I would certainly recommend this racquet to anyone who wants to learn to play tennis at a high level. Even though I have now moved on to a Babolat Pure Drive Roddick, I still keep my TI.S6 close at hand.

Comments: Best racquet I've ever played with, great for my drop shots, serves, overhead smashes, and sharp angles. It did however take me about 3 weeks to get used to its awesome power. It's very light, which aids in the racquet head speed, so you have to learn to control your upward brush for topspin. Keep tension low and it will blow past your opponents, but remember to hit under and brush up or you may find you cannot keep ball in court.

Comments: This racquet is way too light for anyone who wants better control with their shots. I found that my arm worked way too much for a lousy shot. I had to put lead weights to make it beefier, but it just gave me tennis elbow.
From: Leica, Milwaukee, WI, USA 04/06

Comments: This is my favorite racket and I have tried a lot of racquets. I hit with moderate topspin and I have no problem with control. I did find it to be too light so I added lead tape to the lower half.

Comments: I've been playing almost 50 years and this is my favourite racquet of all time. The light weight means very quick hands at the net, and a bit of wrist flick gives tremendous power on serves. I tend to overhit the ball and hit long. When swinging for power this racquet deadens the ball a bit and keeps my ball on the court. I have been using my current racquet for well over 3 years now and am currently looking for another two. I'm playing at a 3.5-4.0 level, so I'm reading comments from people who say this is a beginners racquet and doesn't generate power, and I'm thinking they must have really short strokes with not much back swing. If you can't generate power with this racquet, please, don't blame the racquet. I'm bouncing balls over the fences and hitting the back fence in one bounce on serves that are in. And consistently hitting winners on my return of serve. If you have trouble hitting pace, I agree, this racquet probably for you. But if like me, you're looking for a little more control, this is a great racquet.
From: Norman, Shelburne, Ontario, Canada. 03/06

Comments: This is a great racquet for a beginner. It got me to the level I am at now, but now I need a better racquet to compete at a higher level. It is very light, so it is hard to return harder serves. Also the frame is very large so the ball would frequently hit it and go all over the place. I would recommend it for beginners only.
From: Arjun, Maplewood, MN, USA. 03/06

Comments:I love this racquet. I am a 12 year old and my Wilson ncode had cracked. I wanted to temporarily use my dads racquet before I got a new one. It was amazing.

From: Won Jang, Albuquerque, NM, USA. 01/06

Comments: I loved this racquet when I first started playing, but as others have stated, you tend to quickly outgrow the Ti6 as you improve. I'm surprised at the previous review that suggested using natural gut- the first time I had it strung with natural gut, I broke a string after less than 1 hour of play. I've had 2 of these frames crack when I've had them strung at the high end of the recommended scale, and yet when I had them strung at low-mid tension I lost control, and the strings shifted so much (I hit with a lot of topspin, this may not be such a problem for flat hitters) that I pop a string after only 3-4 uses with synthetic gut. On the plus side, it's a great price for a game improvement racquet, and I think the beginners on up to 3.0 level probably wouldn't go wrong with it.

Comments: I have been playing tennis for 30 years. I am a club 4.0-4.5. I have a power game - hard flat forehand. This is the best racquet I have ever played with. Great power and even better control. Try it with natural gut strings and you will be in love.

Comments: This is only a beginners racket. That is it. It is great if you are new to the sport but as you start to play more competitively you will really struggle with this racket due to its light weight and power. If you play against people with even a relatively fast serve you will find it hard to return with such a light racket. Fortunatly I didn't buy this I just tested it for two weeks. But this is a great racket to get if you are a begginer.

Comments: I had this racquet for about a year now and it was the first performance racquet I had. At first I loved it. It was light and I wasn't that strong then. It had powerful shots that I couldn't have done with any other racquet. But I came to dislike it now that I play with better players. The lightness is quite useless when trying to counter a fast heavy ball. You have to exert a LOT of force and the light frame does not dampen as much vibration as I want it to. As a result, my arm constantly pains. I believe this racquet is only for beginners but as you get better, it is wise to switch to a heavier racquet.

Racquet - Have had an original TiS6 O/S for seven years, never broke a string. It was made in Austria weighing 255 gms. This one is made in China. It weighs 224 gms that is 30 gms below the specification of 255 gms. Attempted to play competition (I play comp three nights a week on average) with the factory strings, what a dog. Had it strung next day, played competition again, what an racquet, it is so good. My pro strings the TiS6 at 50lbs; he uses a very smooth horizontal string and a course vertical string, brilliant. Hits flat balls with zing and the topspin is out of this world.
