K****D 发帖数: 30533 | 1 You feel no power major due to extra-length and head light,
not because of the stiffness.
Most people don't like extra-long.
If the specs you listed are correct, I'd suggest you to look at
rackets used by female pros. Your racket doesn't look like a
complete beginner's racket, but I suspect some of the specs are
incorrect. 10.4 oz and 6 pt head light are kinda of very weird
combination. |

a*****3 发帖数: 10373 | 2 Since it is a local deal, why not to check out the racket condition in
person. Personally I just want to buy the racket in 8+/10 condition. What I
can find normal 9/10 for KPS88 is about $80. I think $55 should be just in 7
/10 or worse. So go check if you like them. If you buy all 3, you should ask
for further discounts for sure.
What racket do you currently use?

l******n 发帖数: 97 | 3 I have been using Fischer m-pro #1 (98, UE) for about 18 months. It just has
a unique feel when you hit the sweet spot (almost every comment on the web
about fischer racket would mention this...). The racket is so soft that
using full poly string doesn't feel as harsh as other more stiff rackets.
Also, the paint job is high quality, and looks great with my red kirschbaum
string, haha |
|
K****D 发帖数: 30533 | 4 KPS88 is heavier, less head light and more stiff than K90.
K90 is slightly bigger than KPS88.
So overall KPS88 still looks slightly more powerful.
I said KPS88 is a pusher racket because you claimed K90 is your
pusher racket. If K90 is, than KPS88 is also IMO. Again I haven't
hit with both rackets so it's just YY. |
|
a*****3 发帖数: 10373 | 5 why those things mean KPS88 more powerful than K90?
I didn't say KPS88 is my pusher racket. If I really want to push, I will
definitely use K90. What I mean is KPS88 obviously has lower power and
heavier than LZ's racket. So if I can use it to push, LZ's racket has no
problem. |

K****D 发帖数: 30533 | 6 The 经验公式 is 70% racket, 30% string. To me the #1 choice is to modify
the racket itself.
To add power, add weight to racket head.
To reduce power, add weight to handle bottom. |

j**c 发帖数: 234 | 7 Every good stroke has 3 basic elements - balance, timing and rhythm. You
have pretty good balance and rhythm but lack good timing partly because you
take your racket back too far. In the backswing, your racket points to the
left fence. If your racket only points to the back fence, you will have
extra 90 degree and more time to hit the ball in front of you, and your
follow-through will be longer.
Although the ping-pong style straight takeback is ok, imo it is better
to use C type takeback... 阅读全帖 |

K****D 发帖数: 30533 | 8 1. Smaller rackets help generate faster ball pace, provided you
hit the sweet spot. The reason is with smaller head, the maximum
swing speed is faster due to less air friction.
2. Because of 1, for ammeters, using a small head racket increases
their chance to overpower their opponents.
3. For pros, faster ball pace is often not the priority any more
as they are usually capable of hitting deadly shots using any racket.
More spin, more margin of error, less UE becomes the new pursuit. |

I believe any recreation player using PS85 won't feel too much 不适应

Since N90 was designed for Federer, he obviously prefers the 90
series more than 85 series and sticked to the 90 all these years.

I had never had any soreness with my arm

playing doubles. Lowered the tension to 50 did not help much, now trying a
hybrid setup with a soft string. Also, light

My first non-Walmart level racket was Head Ti-S1 for about $25 shipped

That racket was selling at the same price as some Youtek/MG now many years

A 1000fps video recording the first moment of impact can make this to work:
For example, 100mph serve is 44.7 meters/second. At 1000fps, it's 4.47 centimeter per frame. Using the racket length as a reference, you can take the first 20 frames (44.7 centimeters) from when the racket hits the ball to measure the speed. If a serve can go the full length of a standard racket (27in=68.6cm) in 20 frames, it's 153mph! assuming the deceleration in such a small distance is negligible. |

but not good on paint. New Head are not good with specs. I do not
own the new Prestiges. |

Even if a racket is called "Pro Staff 6.0", it can still be a

A $200 racket is not necessarily better than a $35 racket. |

K****D 发帖数: 30533 | 34 Basically it depends on the type of racket one uses. For the
majority of modern rackets, semi-western is the best choice
to avoid hitting too long.
If one uses 80 sq in racket, semi-western is suicide. |

This is untrue. Many female pros use balanced or head heavy rackets,

Baseline male pros also use balanced rackets, like Nadal.

What do you do if your opponent rips the tennis ball directly at your body
when you are at net? The way you react will be different because you will
have very little time.
The answer is that you should almost always try to hit a backhand volley. If
the ball is coming directly to your body, bring your hitting elbow up to
shoulder level and adjust the tennis racket head down so that the racket
face is in front of your body. It is much easier to get the racket in

Grip the racket more loosely.
Body build the upper body and arms to be stronger.
