Ordered this racquet a bit impulsively after it was recommended to me. Thoughts?
I’m a high beginner/low intermediate female player. No previous racquet sport experience. Been consistently playing for a little under 2 months, but taking lessons once a week for about the last 5 months, it was just hard to find games back then, so i was only able to start playing multiple times a week recently.
My current racquet is a 2025 Nox Equation Light (women model 3K i think? It weighs 150 g only and during games i felt almost like it disappeared from my hand. On more intermediate games with more powerful shots i almost had the sensation of the racquet flying off my grip no matter if I held it very tight lol. It was annoying. I also felt like it was very extreme. It’s not a racquet with a lot of power, but had a lot of trampoline effect. So it is hard to calculate the sweet spot of how much power to use. Too little and the ball had no power, too much and it flew into the opposite wall. Obviously a lot of mistakes at my level are mine and have nothing to do with the racquet, but I had this constant feeling that it is making my life harder for no reason. I tried my husband’s also beginner racquet (Wilson blade 2025) around the same price point but a little heavier, and it was much stable/ solid in my hand.
This racquet was recommended to me based on the above experience also as a racquet i might not outgrow as quick as my current, so I bought it. Am i cooked?
