General Comments
I've used a Wilson Hyper Hammer for about 2.5 years. Picked it as I used to suffer badly from tennis elbow, and this was the lightest on the market. Its proved to be a good racket, nice sweetspot etc . Playing tonight, my strings broke and my opponent lent me his spare, it felt like I was wielding a saucepan in comparison, and I immediately felt my elbow starting to hurt (though I still beat him, hah!). I'm not a very hard hitter, and I can't remember the last time I broke strings on my previous rackets - usually I scrunch the racket first, and this is the second time they've snapped. Although this also indicates the frame is robust to the occasional prang against the walls. Highly recommend.
