@Timothy9BALA,

Brands such as Donnay and Pacific have many racquets with lots of feel. All of the Donnay's are loaded with feel. If you want some added pop and forgiveness, the X-Dual series is the way to go without losing any feel. Try the X-Dual Gold 99, a great racquet. WIth Pacific go with the X-Feel racquets. From Wilson the BLX Six.One 95 offers traditional feel in both string patterns, there is also a Six.One Pro Staff 95 due in Jan. 2012 much like the old 6.0 95.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your answers to my previous questions. I just have a few more quick ones. How would you rate the feel, control and stability of the K 95 18/20 against the Pro Staff Classic 16/18? Also, which racquets have the "old school" feel? I prefer a racquet that has very good feedback, like the Pro Staff Original (Awesome but not enough forgiveness), Prestige Tour etc and I have gone through many types of mid/mp racquets to find a suitable one.

PS: You are the best playtester, IMO.

@Nick87639,

Try the EXO3 Rebel 95. It has a tighter 18x20 string pattern which make the sweetspot very similar in size despite the larger head. I also found it to offer a lot more feel than the EXO3 Graphite. Of note, there is a newer version of the Rebel due out later this year (slightly lighter and faster feeling than the current version).

There are a couple of Donnay racquets you may want to try. The X Dark Red 94, and X Blue 94 offer excellent feel, and have a have a slightly larger head size.

The Dunlop Biomimetic 200, and Wilson BLX Six One 95 16/18 are options to try as well.

I have tried the prince EXO3 graphite 93 and i loved it apart from the feel

i felt that there wasnt really a lot of feel in the racket

so i was wondering if you have any suggestions as to which racket i should try that is like the graphite but with some more feel and also a bigger head size but the same size sweetspot

thanks

@Timothy9BALA,

They are pretty different. The Ignite swings with more heft and its open string pattern offers a very different feel. It also feels boxier and crisper in its response. The Rebel has a more control oriented stringbed, feels more maneuverable and is softer and smoother in its response. For power, spin and heavy plow through, go with the Ignite. For touch, feel and control, go with the Rebel.

This vs the EXO 3 rebel?
