My Racquet Ratings

My name is Bruce , and I'm a racquetaholic

I can't even remember how I got this habit of accumulating racquets, but I have 20+ now, and it's getting out of control. I know some people have hundreds, so it's nice to know I'm not alone.

I thought I might as well start a blog about them, because I myself am always pleased to read other's opinions about a racquet's characteristics.

Pro Kennex Asymmetric



Q: What goes ThickThinThickThinThickThin? A train? A python after a meal of rabbits?  No, folks it's the PK Asymmetric. The decidedly odd shape, where the racquet is always thicker on one side of the hoop than that directly opposite, is apparently some form of damping strategy, as by all acounts this is a very arm-friendly racquet.

I got it because if its similarity in looks to the great PK Destiny. Unfortunately they are very different; The Asymmetric is also very head-heavy, and that didn't feel great at all, I could not get my timing right with it. I might try loading a bit of lead into the handle and see if a bit of rebalancing helps. Until then, I'll consign this to the category of Weird Ideas That Didn't Really Work.

I'm more than happy to hear your own opinions, even if for some stupid pathetic reason they disagree with mine. :-)
