Racquet Recommendation

there is no such thing as the best racket. or else all BC members would have it, and all companies would fail. don't ask open ended questions. do a search, and find out about the rackets. these probably have been mentioned before.

 

Tough to make recommendations as you didn't state what kind of player you are.

I have the Dunlop Aerogel 800XL and I believe the Aerogel 5000 is using the same technology. Pretty decent racquets I must say. Easy to use.

However, the racquets you list are all very different, the Aerogel 5000 is head light and flexy whereas the Head 10000 is mid stiff and even balance.

Normally, you will chose racquets that have the same qualities which fits your type of profile.

 

i am not being a jerk. Being on the forum has no place in my answer about doing a search. Multiple moderators have talked about the need to reduce clutter. in fact, i find it amazing that you point the finger and call me rude, when all i did was try to show you in the right direction, while being considerate of not just yours but others requirements and work.

look at what you asked. "what is the best racket?"
that question is really open ended. Also, many members have given reviews about the rackets. if you look deeply into it, you can find out more.
read this thread and understand my point.

If you really did search, you would find many people have written about the Metallix 10000, as well as the Aerogel 5000 in some form. it would be a waste not to use the tools the forum allows you.

 

I hate to say it but jymbalaya is right... based on your question, I would have to give you an open-ended answer of: It depends.

You're asking for the best of those three rackets... based on the fact that your style of play can be characterized as "I like to smash but want something maneuverable and accurate." So basically I understand that to mean that you want an offensive and defensive racket (don't we all?).

Not surprisingly, a lot of us have this same style. Yet we're all using different rackets... This is because racket choice is a very personal choice. How can we know what racket you will like? The only thing we can tell you is our personal opinion of a racket along with its specifications. Even if you were to provide us with pages and pages of details about your style of play (and a video), you may still be disappointed in the answer we give you. The choice is ultimately yours.

 

First of all, look what you wrote. A statement, then an unrelated question. not only that, the question is very open ended. the "I like to smash but want a manuverable racket" is very open ended, because that is what most wants. "which of these best racket?" is a very subjective question. i could say it was the Metallix, and then someone could say it was the other 2, and both people who replied would be right in their own ways.

Even so, the fact that you have a lists tells us that you have your eyes out on three different rackets, and that your choice is probably between those three. because you know what you want., look at what is written about those rackets. many people have talked about the Met. 10000, and some have written about the aerogel 5000.

If you look, you will see that some questions appear that look like this, and similar answers are given to the original poster. i am not being rude, i am answering your question while trying to help maintain the orderliness of BC.
I search regularly, and i notice many threads that have a single post, which don't help my search. i like going to BC because it is a fast loading, interesting, clean site. I dont want to see that disappear.

As for my comprehensions, or lack of, lets leave that out. i don't take time to insult you or call you stupid, so why not be a little more civil?

 

I'd like to lend support to Jymbalaya - but I would have been a jerk about and asked you this:

I like to drive fast so which is better? the BMW M3, AUDI RS4 or the C-Class AMG?

or I like to drink wine so is shiraz, cab sav or merlot better?

 

lets try this one more time. Your question is still open ended. If you did search the forums like you claimed. 1) you would see that your answers are given to you. you have posted on a thread with at least one Metallix review. Aerogel reviews are a search away as well. 2) there are many people who ask open ended questions, and get told a similar answer.

Thejym is correct in his statement. You have not even stated preferences in rackets, not even a head light/head heavy, stiff/flex, light/ heavy comments. All you have said is," I like to smash but I want something maneuverable and accurate." Many players can smash with their rackets, which they may feel is manueverable and accurate. So, you give us a bland description. then, you ask a bland question,"Which is the best racket?" this question has been explained by the moderators to be misleading, because of personal preference.

then, you give us racket choices. Three different rackets, with many different characteristics. because we dont know your preferences, we cant even recommend you one.

Even as we try to help you, you come here and tell us that whatever help we offer is of no use, and perhaps rude, because we couldn't answer the question.

Therefore, we can't directly answer your question. or help you with reading comprehension or understanding sarcasm either.

If you decide to revise your question, and help us help you, I may be more forthcoming in the future. but until you do that, it will be difficult for anyone to really take a guess at which one is the best for you.

 

Sure, I choose the Head Metallix 10000. I can clear baseline to baseline with easily with the Head. As a bonus, it has the biggest number among all of those listed.

I think everyone in the forum will certainly support my choice.

 

Well if that's all that you are looking for... I guess you got it.

I think many people here would appreciate it if you were a bit kinder to others. Don't call someone an impudent person:

If someone gives you an answer you don't like... just ignore it and pretend they didn't say anything. You're the one asking for answers, so you're asking a favor of us and it's not in your place to criticize us for taking the time to read your thread.

Thanks.

 

No, no You should definitively go with the Black Knight 865B Rapier BE, if you like to smash and defend

That's what you wanted, right?

If on the other hand, you would like to engage in polite, civilised discussion, perhaps leading to you finding the racket best suited to you and your own individual playing style, then I suggest you stick around and maybe show a little more maturity and respect.

Let's not forget that you're the one asking for something here - so far you're not giving us much of a reason to want to help you...
