I don't know.. I have never heard anyone said I have a big head - a normal sized hat fits fine, nothing large.

Yeah I pretty much just stuck with the Wilson ProStaff 6.0 original. Anything over 95 screws me up.

I have a lot of different sized rackets.  Two Chinese-made graphites, and a bunch of LeCoq Sportif wood ones that are probably under 88 sq. in.

I returned to the pursuit of the game, after a lengthy absence, and went with the advice that older players (and the singular case of Pam Shriver) go to larger head sizes for improvement.  Then I read on a bulletin board that it's better to play with what you were used to, in your up-and-coming years.  Seriously conflicted now... :insane:

I think it has to do with personal choice but also physical strength, hand eye cordination and so on. I work with allot of seniors and most tend to use oversized sticks but there are some who are in good physical condition that use smaller to midplus sized and a few even use the Original prostaff. So I think it has allot to do with physical conditioning.

OSU would do well with a 90 or 95, I am surprised you use a 105 sq in yo.

I use a 95.

The Majority of the racquets I've used have been in the 115 range... but the racquet I mostly use right now is at 110.

My Dunlop 200Gs are 95 in. My favorite size, gives you great accuracy and strokes provided that you can supply the power.

a lot more people play with much smaller head sizes than I expected. all three of mine have been 100 or 101 i think. I was thinking of going for a 95 too as I have mentioned earlier... to play with a differnt kind I feel would help me see whats missing in my game which I can then fix, sorta like how I improved my backhand during my injury. But dmast's advice is gold too so I am kinda torn as well.

When I started playing again last summer I started out with a head size of 108 then 98 and ultimetly to 90. It was nice to progress through the different sizes and see how it affected my game. It was a little stressful at times cuz I'd get comfortable with a racquet and then switch but the 90 is much better for placement and my swing type.

P.S. Are there any nice single ladies in the age range of 22-26 that would like to date a gentleman, scholar and rennasance man from milwaukee, wi  :)~

The three greatest tips of all time, at any level are: watch the ball, get your racket back and move your feet.
