Had a few lessons as a child but I don't think I even stuck with tennis for more than 6 months.
Rekindled my passion for it recently this year and immediately bought a Blade 98 18x20 last January (4-5 months ago) and have been playing with it since. I heard reviews about this Blade model and that it really isn't the best beginner racket and that it's kinda punishing hence why I bought it because I want to push my game. I've had a ton of lessons this year, I'm mostly a flat hitter and with an eastern forehand (I was taught this grip as a child), but I can hit topspin if I actually try. Now I know this is a control racket, I can hit deep with it while swinging freely but once I try to actually try to swing faster my balls mostly go to the moon.
I know its mostly a technique issue but will a power-oriented racket benefit me? I'm under the impression that if I start using a racket with more power where I'm forced to "hold back" my swing I'd be forced to do the right motions for better topspin whilst swinging freely to keep the ball in-play. If so, what racket would you guys recommend?
