Buying a new racket

Jorgen Olsson Asked 4 months ago

Hi guys,

I'm about to buy a new racket. The racket I have now (Alexis Lebrun straight All+ with Rakza 7 rubbers). feels very slow compared to my teammates, who have carbon blades. When I hit with my forehand, the ball doesn't go very fast, which is why more advanced players have time to return it.

Hi Jorgen,

Good question. Short answer: your proposed setup (Tibhar Hybrid AC Inside + MX-P FH + Evolution EL-P BH) will definitely give you more speed and punch than a non-carbon all+ setup, but it will also demand cleaner timing and reduce your margin for error.

I would just replace the rubber first to see if it gets you to where you want to.  I would also try a lot of the other players rackets and see if there is something that you particularly like.
