Over the years I have used almost all of the popular brands of tennis racquets (WILSON, Prince, etc.). I have yet to find one that is better than the Pure Drive+ from Babolat. I played with this racquet now for about 3 years, and the frame holds up extremely well. The extra length of the racquet allows this fat man to hit the shots that would normally be out of range and it is very forgiving on the mishits.
Also, as I have been fine tuning my game, I have actually begun to incorporate spin on my shots. So when it was time to retiring the Babolat I chose Babolat's Ultimate Spin String and strung the racquet to 60lbs. This works like a champ. I highly recommend it.
