Racket Recommendations for getting back into tennis after a 12 year break.
I started playing tennis again this past spring, after taking a 12-year break. Back then, I had a random assortment of rackets and put very minimal thought into what I was buying and why (Babolat Aeropro Drive and Wilson BLX Six. One 95).
My technique right now isn't great, but generally I hit very flat, and I prefer the feel and plow of the BLX rather than the Babolat. The only thing is, it's not the most forgiving if my timing is off and I hit off-center.
My hands sweat a lot, and I have been looking into getting a 2nd racket. It seems that most people are recommending a Yonex VCORE/PERCEPT for a play style/feel similar to the BLX.
Would you happen to have any recommendations for rackets/strings I should try? The options have changed significantly so it's still a little confusing.
