Having a hard time getting used to the stiffness of this racket and having a harder time controlling underhand shots. Overhands are more powerful.

I tried several racquets at a demo do too my issue of being a chronic string breaker. I use Killfire Pro strings, python grips, and string from 32-34 depending on who strings the raquet at the time. I love the racquet even though I found out that the handles were getting cracking after a few months of use. It's quite a shame after months of demo's and preference and string combo's that would last more than 2 weeks. I thought I had a life time keeper. Great power and accuracy with no vibe until the tiny cracks above the handles appeared. In search of another racquet AGAIN! A PART TIME POWER PLAYER SKILL LEVEL A.

This racquet is a little heavy, but still moves well and delivers lots of power. It is a little harder to pick the wallpaper shots off the wall with this racquet.

The weight of the racquet does not enter in. No feeling of extra weight (as compared to 175). Great power, I have a slow swing and I believe the racquet provides the extra power and control that would not pe possible with the lighter racquets.

I liked using the racquet to "weight-lift." After using the stick, I could swing my lighter racquets with ease. I eventually sold this racquet to a friend who has a slower swingspeed. When I get old, fat and slow, I may return to this racquet.

Take about 10 times to get used to. Then you never go back.

This is a great racquet. I can drive server harder with this racquet, and can hit better setup shots. I would recommend this racquet for larger players or players who like heavier racquets. I prefer the O3 White because it is a little lighter and I feel faster in the front court, but it all depends on your game style.
