What is the best even balanced tennis racquet?
I play high school tennis and will be playing on the varsity team next year. My birthday is coming up and I want to get a racquet now so I could have plenty of time to play with it before next season. It seems most racquets are head heavy or head light. I however need a even balanced racquet because my game is more all around. What would be the best racquet for me, price not being a problem?

Just because you have an all round game, doesn’t mean you need an even balanced racket..
Get one of these models:
Head YouTek Speed
Head YouTek Radical
Head Microgel Extreme (2008 or 2009)
Babolat Pure Drive GT
Babolat Aero Drive
Babolat Aero Storm

If price is not a problem, demo as many rackets as you can
also, add led tape to your racket to balance it if that’s what you need

Well any “what racket is for me” question should be answered by the demo program. Most brands have racquets suitable for just about any player. That being said you should try a few rackets from your local tennis shop or tennis warehouse demo program. Only way to find a good racquet is to try a bunch out and find the one that suits your game the best.
I use a head liquidmetal radical midplus. It is a very balanced racquet as im an all court player. Its not very heavy and is balanced from head to handle. Try it out if you get a chance. The liquidmetals are one of heads older models and arguably one of the best lines. Not to mention you will save some green. The yare 70 bucks brand new from TW (because its an older model) The liquidmetal radical is control oriented but has ample power and spin. Djokovic used that racquet for a few years. Of course it was painted over as wilson but if you see pictures it has the same unique features the head LM has.
