HEAD Ti S6 Titanium Tennis Racket

I'm a 90kg male recreational player in my early 50s. I've been playing with a Technifibre (300g, 100 sq.in) since taking up tennis 2 years ago. I bought this racquet as an experiment, having read the reviews. I'm really glad I did.For serving, the lighter weight makes it much easier to achieve the head acceleration, which in turn allows the whole swing movement to be more relaxed. I didn't realise that my heavy racquet was encouraging me to hurry the racquet drop, with the result that I was applying power too early in the throw and working against my own strength.The unhurried swing slows everything else down, so there is time to inspect the trajectory of the toss, decide whether to hit it or even to make a small adjustment if the toss is a little way off. The head-heavy weight distribution gives a good solid feel on contact with effortless, crisp power transfer to the ball.The larger head also means that a poor contact that would be a flub with my 100 sq.in head is much more likely to be successful. Finally, the light weight makes it much easier to achieve good head speed for a slice serve and I'm getting a lot of spin a lot more easily.I haven't played ground strokes with this racquet yet, but I will gladly take whatever it gives me. The improvement in the serve alone is enough to consign my Technifibre to the attic.UPDATE: I have played a lot with this racquet now, and actively compared it with the Technifibre. It is a little less powerful on ground strokes than the Technifibre, but not so much as to outweigh its other advantages. Also, the supplied strings went completely slack in about 4 weeks, but in fairness I was playing several times a week. The new strings on it are lasting better. So nothing to change my star rating for this racquet. In fact, I have bought a second one.

This racket offers an exceptional level of power while keeping its weight down (225g unstrung). The head heavy balance of the racket and its large head size (115 sq in) make it even easier to hit shots that are powerful and controlled. This racket is suitable for those getting into tennis and regular players who seek both power and control. Perfect for beginners and intermediates (that's me!), and especially players who are not physically very strong or athletic (that's like me, also!). I would not recommend this racket for very physically strong or athletic players, or for very young players. The chances are these player types would take a huge swipe at the ball, hence hitting the ball out because this racket is very powerful. Don't forget to check your grip size for the racket as this is a very important part of your game - do a little research on the internet for hand grip sizes. This racket has a shock absorber inside the hand grip and comes with a Head vibration dampner for you to attach to the strings.

The racket is very good if you are an absolute beginner or have elbow / shoulder issues as it is extremely light - so is easier on the arms, and has an enlarged head - so its easier to hit the ball.As its so light you won't be able to hit a ball as hard as with a heavier racket but unless you're regularly playing then you'd probably not notice the difference. Probably a good choice for junior or female.If you looking to smash a ball as hard as you can then I'd say a heavier racket and a standard size head would be better.Even if you're a beginner and looking to start playing regularly I'd say get a normal size head as sooner or later you'll have to change from this to a heavier one once you wan't more power.

I guess this racquet needs no further reviewing as it is obviously doing well in this area. However i will give a review of this item as i'm pretty happy with it and also how i came about buying it! So i play a little tennis and i mean a little. The racquet i was using before this purchase was a Babolat £30 job. The Babolat looked like a good racquet and for some time i believed it was until i borrowed the Head Ti S6 from a friend. I was amazed at the difference no longer was the racquet twisting in my hands and i was able to, with the help of my playing partner, string some prety decent rallies together. I really did not think the "tool" could make so much difference.This racquet is pretty cheap in comparison to some of the others but it is Heads best seller and apparently for a while the overall world best seller.

A very nice racket, unbelievably light, excellent from the baseline, volleys can be a tad tough due to the head-heavyness. It can pack hell of a punch if you swing it hard. The large head size is forgiving on most shots and gives good reach.I would definitely recommend it for beginner/intermediate player. I would urge advanced players to try it first, if they can, as the lack of weight might be a drawback.

Recently started to play tennis so ordered one of those . Feels great in hands very light , build quality is very good . After my friends try it they are looking to buy it as well I’m very happy with this tennis racket.

There is nothing I dislike about this product. It’s my second of this type of racket so I knew what I was getting. I am a novice club player and the racket is perfect for me. I have long fingers so grip 4 3/8 - 3 is perfect. I suffered from tennis elbow in the past and this is the only racket I have used that doesn’t bring it on again.

I bought L3 but it was bigger and heavier than other ones that I tried. As soon as you open it, not easy to realise but once you play for 20mins then you start feeling the difference. I asked for exchange with L2 but as I had used it once, they reject it. Not quite happy with the product or the service.
