Hey all,
My first post here.
I've played tennis for one year with a $49 Wilson Milos racquet (green one shown) and recently purchased the Wilson Blade (black one shown) for $300 after I wanted to take things more seriously.
I've played with the $300 racquet maybe 10 times now and for some reason I enjoy playing with the $49 one much more! The cheap one I find easy to move around, easy to middle shots, plus the ball just pops off the strings, allowing me to hit it deep and fast.
The $300 racquet I find hard to manoeuvre and the ball doesn't come off as fast and "poppy"?
Would you know the reasons for this? I took pictures of the specifications of each racquet below. Can see the cheap one is slightly lighter, more surface area and the handle is smaller at 4 1/4 vs the expensive racquet at 4 3/8.
At the end of the day, playing with the cheap one just gets me excited about tennis, whereas the other one doesn't.
Why would this be? Help!
