Review on 🎾 HEAD i.165 Intelligence Tennis Racquet by Todd Phillips

At first glance the racket is excellent. It was exactly what I wanted and $10 less than Dick's price. I've played with him a few times and my opinion quickly changed. Although the strings feel taut/hard, they feel soft when you strum or strum them on a real court. Balls came off the racquet with a muffled feel and much less pop. I compared it to an entry-level $40 racquet and my kids' $200 racquet. Both had a much larger spring than the Head racket. I would have thought it was an accident and somehow gotten a racquet with the wrong tension or poor quality strings. However, I bought two racquets from Head. One was bought for the wife. Unfortunately, both racquets are equally soft.
