Head
4.6
(27)
"The Head Graphene XT Speed MP is a great option if you can stretch your budget to $100 US."
"Head Speed MP 2024 is 300g but feels a bit heavier. It's a great stick and you can always add some lead tape if you feel it's not enough."
"Best value at the moment for a new racket: 3) speed mp 2022"
"Best value at the moment for a new racket: 2) head graphene xt speed mp"

Wilson
4.1
(23)
"Love my blade to death. Not enogh room to talk about different racquet/string/weight combos I've tried."
"2. Prostaff X"
"The prominent candidates are probably the Wilson Blade, the Head Radicals & Prestiges, and Yonex VCore 95."
"Top pick from Main & X
Clash 100 Wilson"
"Top pick from Main & X
Clash 100 Wilson
Yonex VCORE 97
Ultra 100 CV"
"Try wilson ultra UL for developing good speed (or any 260-280g racquet) use with multifilament strings for absortion."
"Wilson Ultra!"
"Ultra looks a bit purple depending on the light. If money is tight, try to see what’s available as second hand racket."
"Blue Wilson ultra or Babolat pure drive, but again…. Pick a racket that works not if it’s “pretty”"
"Wilson Ultra will be a great pick"

(16)
"I play the new Babolat pure drive 2025, it's a cannon :D"

"Pure Strike is good for a OHBH."
"All the rackets you listed are good, solid rackets with the Pure Strikes and Blades offering a lot of control."

Prince

"Best value at the moment for a new racket: 4) prince textreme warrior 100"
"Prince Warrior 100"
"Prince Textreme Tour 310"
"If you are looking for feel as well as a bump in head size to help with power, do consider the Prince Phantom Pro 93P."
"Some of my favorite recent rackets are: Prince textreme tour 95."
"If you need to go new for whatever reason I’d recommend the Prince Textreme Warrior 100"
"Prince phantom 93p 14x18 is worth trying. The circular head makes it play like a 95."

"Look for a frame made in the last few years and without cracks."
"Any racket is good for beginner. But I would advise you to buy some higher class used frame."

"Go for a used one on kijiji, Craigslist, market place."
"Any modern looking racket off eBay, you can get some good deals."
"Check here for each brand's least expensive models."
"Generally a smaller head size and a close string pattern are the key to control."
