GAMMA Sports RZR Bubba 117 Tennis Racquet, Tennis Racquet for Adults, 117 Sq Inch

As a 65 yr old mid 3.5 player I was pretty happy with my 104 and 110 racquets. But I would sometimes get frustrated after framing an important volley. I was curious that my doubles partner (who is a 4.0 and ten years younger than me) continued to hit very strong shots with his 117. I tried his and subsequently tried a 137 Bubba from another friend. Amazing power from each and no noticable difference in control from the smaller racquets, even against power hitters. I did need to slightly change my game to accomodate the fact that i can now flip a ball back from anywhere on the court with a simple wrist snap. I love how much power and pop I generate on serves with the 117 with proper pronation. I was suddenly able to win rallies against previously stronger and younger players. The 137 was also good but more difficult to serve with. I immediately bought a second 117 and will be retiring the smaller racquets.

I was looking for a lighter racquet that had some good pop. I'm 83 years old and still run around the court and don't need the heavier racquet for speed. I can get enough with this little develish odd shaped beauty. The racquet comes unstrung which adds to the cost but it's worth it. I got strings for old people and the usual 19-20 spacing. Love it and I bet it works for any age.

Looks like I will like it

A flexible big racket, a rare combination!

Box came with no padding and a big gash in the box the racquet cover, and the racquet itself it looks like it got stuck in a wood chipper

As advertised

Great racket, for me.

All Good
