2007 Posts: 212  I hit with the Spalding tonight and I loved it.
I didn't expect to like it at all, given the small head size and
aluminum construction. I expected a lot of mishits and twangy
vibration.  In reality, this racket is built like a tank. It
felt extremely solid when hitting. This isn't the thin, light
aluminum from the 80's department store rackets, this stuff is
thick, solid, and heavy.  This racket also has a lot of control.
I could literally crank on it as hard as I could and the ball
would go where I wanted it to. I came up with a lot of nice
angles and low, hard, and deep shots to the corners. Shots that
I'd attempt with my regular racket that were low percentage
shots, suddenly became high percentage shots. I could easily
attack weak serves for example, and put the ball where I wanted,
with a full swing and plenty of pace, without fear of it going
wide or long.  I didn't mishit any more than usual either,
despite the ~70 in.^2 he
