Hi Cinderella,

I bought a Babolat Satelite Synchro from Direct Sports who incidentally proved to be most helpful and efficient. The racket has a nice feel and from the first game just felt right. Not very scientific I know but it is very much my favourite racket now and I use it in preferance to my Yonex MP99. Hope this helps.

hi, i use the Babolat Satelite Nitro and love it.

i used to play with the old carlton 2000's and was looking for a new racket, so i went to a shop that let me try loads of rackets before i bought one. a

Wnen i origonaly got my babolat i had it strung with a babolat micro string which i like, but playing double one night my partner hit my racket with his and broke the frame. need to say though i got it replace no problem apart from the racket come without any strings and the shop didnt have any of the babolat so had to put yonex in it

need to say tho i have seen a mate kick the same racket off a wall and bounch back to him with no damage to the racket, not even a chip in the paint!

I am planning to stick with my babolat racket for a long time as i realy like it, and i'm hopeing to get a few more(if the missus lets me!! :rolleyes: )

babolat have been around for a decent time span someone i no has got one which is 15years old. I've used a babolat racket and it seemed fairly good the only person i seen or know who uses babolat is Andy Wood so thats not a bad advertisement

Hi! I have been using high-end Yonex rackets all my life but have recently switched to a Babolat satelite Pulsar because Yonex keep on bumping their prices up and now I can't really afford them. My new Babolat racket is great, I think they're better value for money personally.

I saw Donna Kellogg using a Babolat racket in the Olympics as well.

I still don't understand why nobody uses Fisher Price rackets. I've been using my Fisher Price Ultra Plastic for a good few years now and I've had no problems. They only cost about a fiver for two, and they sometimes bundle in a net too.

If you're really not keen on Fisher Price, why not try this racket (http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=2501&productId=111164) from argos. Be warned though, it says its suitable for regular players. Its not suitable for those with the rear of a rhino for example.
