Wilson nBlade, nPro Open, nSix-Two, nSix-One 95?

Question

I am a beginner learning the game and like to buy a racquet which can last into intermediate level. Any recommendations to which is a good racquet me. Price is not much of a factor as i would like to know which is more suitable for me. Feel free to recommended racquets other than what i mentioned. Thanks

Answer 1

I would choose the Babolat Pure Control. It has an open string bed which is great for adding more topspin to your shots. The stringbed is 97 square inches so it has a larger sweetspot for groundstrokes and volleys. It is also a good racket that provides plenty of power for your serve. The racket is heavy enough to transfer more energy to the ball for handling hard hit shots, yet light enough to get plenty of racket head speed on your groundstrokes. If you purchase this racket, you will not likely ever need a different racket because it is used by both intermediate and advanced players and is arm friendly enough even for beginners. The racket is just an all around good performer. The Ncode six in One by Wilson is also a good racket but is rather heavy for most beginner and intermediate players and requires more developed groundstrokes to produce consistent power. It has a smaller sweetspot that requires more skill from the player to produce consistent pace and depth on grounstrokes. That is why I recommend the Babolat Pure Control, not the Pure Drive which is too light of a frame.

My first racquet ever was -surprisingly- a Rossignol and it lasted for not less than five years! Then I swiched to the nSix model which is more than great as my playing advanced. I'm an intermediate player and it helped me a lot, especially in terms of power and control. It is said that it's an all-round raquet for all levels, so I'd recommend, it's evolved model the nSix-Two for you. That's the one I want to buy too after two years use of the nSix! The initial nSix costed 149 euros when I bought it, since the model was a little underestimated, but then the price rose a little to 179 euros. Hope that helps!

id say nBlade.tighter, more control oriented string patterns, and a lighter, more maneuverable weight. A high level of comfort and a solid feel i the design and playing characteristics of this racquet has it catering more to players with full, aggressive swings, who may traditionally look at heavier racquets. From the baseline, i found this racquet to respond well to aggressive hitting. Fast swings resulted in a pleasingly solid feel, good access to spin and enough control for aggressive targeting. I myself have a one handed back had and i found that it has good stability when driving topspin groundstrokes. Great for touch volleys. its a good well rounded racquet.

I actually will not drink out of a soda can. It is a quirk I have. I wipe off the top, pop it and pour it into a glass of ice. If I don't have a glass of ice available......I don't have a soda.
