Control Rating #1
(Front Court): 91.18
Control
1 (Front Court)
represents how the racquet handles upfront in the court.
We’re basically looking at how certain components stacked together
produce good (or bad) racquet maneuverability.
To figure this out we look at the weight, balance point, and shape of the
frame. We throw all this info into
Pat’s brain along with a couple hours of hit testing and out pops the rating.
This value is useful especially for doubles players who find themselves
covering the upfront court a lot. It’s
also good to know if you’re a good server and find yourself quickly putting
away returns off your serve without leaving front middle court.

Control Rating #2
(Back Court): 89.73
Control
2 (Back Court)
represents the traditional control rating when taking a full shot from mid to
back court. Our goal with control
is to redirect the Force of the ball. We
again focus on weight, balance point, shape, string pattern and tension, frame
stiffness and on court experience.

Bang for the Buck

General Notes:
The 165 Head Intelligence could be the best
deal on the market. You got 165 grams for under $70 with Intelligence
technology!! We gave the maximum of 3 $$$ for
the bang for the buck for that reason. Bargain hunter's dream!! For
all you science majors, the intellifibers transform the mechanical energy from
ball impact into an electrical response that stiffens the racquet for ultimate
power.
Available in the 3 5/8 grip size only.
I would recommend changing the grip
to a Python (Our favorite), or Head TackiMac for the added traction
to prevent slippage. The Racquetworld Grommet Tape upgrade ($1) can
save you $$ in the long run as sometimes strings break from the grommet being
worn down. For those who don't know what the grommet is, it's the plastic
piece at the top of the racquet that the strings go through. When you hit
the wall and floor this gets worn down.
The Prince Premier string upgrade
is recommended because factory string is less playable/durable then the Prince
Premier
string we suggest. At the time of purchase, the Prince Premier restring
upgrade is $21.95. It's normally $36 if you mailed the racquet to us later
so you save $14 if you choose the upgrade right away.
If you choose a vibration dampener go
with the Ektelon Silencer (Our favorite), Head Hydrosorb, Gamma Worm or
the BBB (Big Bad Band).
The wristlacer black is the default
wrist tether that comes on your racquet at no charge. If you want to
change colors, a small fee of $2.95 will be added for switching.
A question we get everyday is
"What is Grommet Tape?" It's a piece of tape that goes over the
head (bumper) of your racquet. Sometimes you need a restring because of a
broken bumper. For an extra buck to add this, it could save you $25-40!!
We get follow up calls/emails
everyday thanking us for the upgrades as they really help bring out the
performance of the racquet.
