Re: Brag: getting back into tennis
thedarknight,
my dad was my coach and he always did research and picked my rackets for me. i never really demo'd rackets before playing with them. he knew all my strengths and weaknesses and picked out the best racket for me. sadly, he only felt i was ready to graduate from a tweener to a 'players' racket a few years before high school started. so i called him and asked him to do some research for me and he told me this would be the best racket for me. hence, i ordered two.

Re: Brag: getting back into tennis
I've never played with that racket personally, but based on some things I've read I think it's a relatively difficult racket to play with given that you haven't played in so long, though I guess you'll adjust quickly enough (one would hope). Good luck with everything.
