Revainrating 5 out of 5

This racquet is a winner

I play in the league at my health club and just won part 1 of my division with the Wilson 170 but thought I needed one second racquet when i broke the strings the third time i bought it on the recommendation of racquetworld.com. It swings easier than my old racket and the built-in Megablast strings ensure precision and power. I won part 2 of my division with this racquet, so I moved up the division. I just finished the first part of the regular season in first place (wish me luck in the playoffs), so I'm either really good or the racquet helped. The built-in strings lasted about 3 months (about 100 hours of playing time) before they broke. The aftermarket strings weren't that good, so I'm planning to try Megablast again. Most people I know who rocked it just to get a feel for it were instantly impressed. I think I made a good purchase. Update: Still using this racket. My strings keep breaking, so I blame myself, not the racquet. It's been so good for me that I buy a second one as a spare if the strings break (which they did just before the tournament, so I don't want to get stuck in that situation again). My stringer can replace any parts that I abuse (hub guards, strings, griptape). I went into the wall a few times while chasing balls and no damage. I'm sticking to my 5 star rating.

Pros
  • Cross section: 24/22/22.5mm
Cons
  • Good but not great
