Solinco Pro 10

Sometimes with the new comes the familiar. Such is the case with the introduction of Solinco racquets to Tennis Warehouse. Even though it was the first time our testers had hit a Solinco racquet, it was déjá vu for most thanks to the Solinco Pro 10's player's racquet like feel and control. When looking at the specs it's not hard to understand our testers' immediate familiarity with the Pro 10. With an average strung weight of 12.1 ounces, the Pro 10 sits center point in the wheelhouse of the preferred weight range for many of our testers.

On paper, a swingweight of 345 (RDC) might sound high, yet the Pro 10 does not feel heavy or sluggish in the hand or during the swing. As is often the case with box beam construction, as seen on the Pro 10, the racquet provides a solid, crisp feel -- pure player's racquet qualities. With the Pro 10, however, the crispness at impact is aided by a firm flex rating of 68 RA. Having already become fans of Solinco strings, our crew hit the courts with great anticipation to see if the Pro 10 could also garner a popular following.
