I've been playing for 14 years. Well for one, prince? I wouldn't go with a prince racket. Also, it depends on what your looking for. Control over power vise versa, more pop, weight. I could tell you depending on what your looking for in a racket.

yeah I play for my high school 2nd doubles yeah

and its a very very bad idea to ask someone which racket is better. Unless it very roughly gauges your selection, DO NOT seriously ask someone what racket is best. This is because any racket feels different for ANY player. So for an n-code, it wouldnt hit right in my hands, but for another player, he may play better with it.

so the best way to find your best raquet is to keep hitting with it, strokes, volleys, overheads, do them all and see if you like it.

I played #1 vars singles/dubz all 4 years at my old school. Babolats are over-rated. They were mainly a bandwagon racket. If you can't provide power, it def helps. It's true, everyone has a preference with rackets, so it's only opinions. Go with whatever feels the best. I'd go with a wilson personally.

Dont expect to get good rackets spending under 100$. Its pretty tough to find a decent racket within your budget. I won't recommend specific models, because as HOLLA says, it all depends on your style of play, but I can recommend brands.

Recommended
Wilson
Head
Yonex

Not recommended
Babolat
Prince

Well, depending on how serious you are about it, i'd save up and get a better racket. You can always buy the demo rackets from the shops. Knocks down the price quite a bit.

I've tried Babalot before and liked it, even though it's not really my type of racket. Really helps that kick off your serve if you're like me, not too tall/kinda thin/no jumps/don't want to dislocate your hip/wrist.

I used to play... but I stopped for 3 years now.

I had a "Head" racket(Control>Power) when my opponent is kinda bad with running and footwork... and I switch to my "Wilston" racket(Control<Power) when I'm a little bit tired and when I'm 100% sure I could beat the opponent.

Depends on what wilson you're playing with. The one I play with is a meat and potatoes racket. Gotta do all the work, mainly control, little bit of power. I have played with some Head rackets, and they are pretty nice. If I didn't play with wilson, I would choose a Head racket.

I played tennis once!

And I smashed my GF's raquet on the court

Oh yeah, that thing was smashed sideways.

Okay okay it was a dick move but I didnt intend to smash it but, it broke a hella lot easier than I thought it would.... damn that cheating bitch.

Ah well
