I bought this racket after demoing several 110 light rackets. this racket strung at 50 has amazing sping and control... but since i have a one handed backhand i added wieght to the head. total weight 300 grams... my game as a 75-year-old 3.5 has improved as a shot maker kind of game.. but can whip a skiced backhand past most players.. also bought a second racket strung to 54.. very stiff and harder to play with.. but serving is wow..
Hello - what would be better for a beginner in their 50's the Astrel 105 or 120? Or would it be worth looking at other options rather than the Astrel? thanks
Got a friend that plays with a similar racquet - Yonex Ezone 105, it's definitely a bazooka but seems to be suited to players who have an abbreviated back swing.
Weak answer for OHBH recommendations. How about 95 to 98 sq. in. Head witb a 315mm to 320mm balance and perhaps a 325 swing-weight. Wilson ProStaff 97 Head Radical MP, Babolat Pure Strike Vs and Yonex Percept 97 310 to take four examples from the Big Four. .
Gdam club players for senior I'm senior but i played aggressively bestliner type of game and more swing not like coach rob old school half swing 😔club players always played double that's kind of racquets we used ,110,115 sq inches
I second that "need weight for 1HB". That's the dilemma of 1HB people. You need weight (or less head lightness) for backhand whereas your forehands require to be whippy.

Which one is better this one or the Ezone 105? And why?

Harry - You may like to try Dunlop SX600 as well. It has interesting spec.
And the 118 Dunlop
Vcore 95 at 330 grams is a one handed backhand beast.😊
Well, the recommendation of a heavy racquet may suit most of us.
But many late beginners use a OHB as well, so careful with that weight.
@@sebastiandomagala9233 Beginners probably better of with HL4 balance instead of the HL7 of the 95. Totally agree with you.
Back in the day, they call this a granny stick. Lol at Coach Rob really struggling to find the right words.
A players racquet for sure!😊 College Division 1 #1 Singles player to ATP Tour!
The best OS on the market today is the Dunlop CX 200 OS. Harry....you'll toss your blackout after hitting this.
Harry found his Raquet for his Game….
Coach Rob said "nice stick" but wouldn't play with it🤷♂️

Coach Rob strokes remind me of Brad Gilbert
Next time find a guy who wears a Yonex t-shirt.
Maybe you should refuse to play with Rob if he continues using a Wilson Ball Feeding racquet?
Bring rob a laxative
