AS I've mentioned elsewhere, I've mainly been a Wilson racquet loyalist, probably because they tend to be quite a bit stiffer than others, and more suited to the serve-and-volley style of my younger self. Still on a Prince demo day I found two racquets I rather liked; the Prince NXG, and Prince Diablo (so you can probably guess the demo year by those models!)
They were both definitely traditional players racquets, heavier and headlight, with a bit more flex than the average Wilson (and IIRC at the time I was using the Wilson ROK, one of the flexier Wilsons they made)
So recently when a cheap NXG in decent condition came along, I grabbed it. The NXG stands for "NeXt Generation" , and as it implies, it will only do exactly what it's told, no more or less, and you have to grab it by the scruff of the neck to even get that out of it!
Joking (and the weird paintjob) aside, this is a classic thin-beam control racquet. People have criticised its dead feel (the handle is designed to minimise vibration and shock transfer) and this would not be to everyone's taste, but it's not going to launch the ball into the back fence, either.
