Racket recommendation

If availability allows it, it sounds like the Adidas Überschall F2 might be great for you. A bit of head weight and a shaft that really help with easy power whole still being a fast amd rather light (4U) racket.

Tried it again yesterday and was rather impressed with it.

I'd say it's roughly the same head weight like a AS11, but lighter overall and a bit more flex to help you. It's probably cheaper, too.

 

I think the Adidas Kalkul A3 is a good suggestion too, what are you thoughts @speCulatius?

Its served me very well so far and doesn't affect my old dodgy shoulder.

 

Great racket and always worth a recommendation when somebody is not looking for anything extreme.

This just sounds a little closer to the F2, I think, and when reading...

... this, I'd lean towards the F2. Such an easy racket, easy to generate power, the shaft really seems to help a bit more than on the A3. The difference in stiffness is not that big, but since the F2 is a bit head heavier, it's even easier to flex.
The P2 is another easy racket to me (and the favorite for most who try the test rackets I have), but it's significantly slower than the F2, that's why I suggested the F2 this time. The faster racket makes the power even more accessible.

 

The head heaviness of the F2 made me wonder if it would be suitable, on one hand they say they like head heavy but on the other they said their shoulder hurt when using stiff or head heavy rackets.
Thats what prompted me to say A3 because its mid balanced and medium stiff.

 

The F2 is a slightly head heavy 4U racket, head weight wise in the same region like an Arcsaber 11 (3U, even balanced). Going too light can also put stress on your joints, because you need to accelerate the racket more, and (at some point) even the impact when hitting becomes a factor.

 

Ah ok, i can't remember what the head weight was of the F2 I had, i remember if felt similar to the F5 in terms of balance and stiffness.

Both the F2 and A3 are good options if available in that region.
