Head Ti S6The Head Ti S6 tennis racket is a racket of superb overall performance and ability thanks to its superior titanium design.

This design affords the Head Ti S6 a level of maneuverability and control that is rarely seen with such a powerful piece of equipment. The Ti S6 gives you the power of a long racket without sacrificing agility and control.

Who will enjoy it? Who is the Head Ti S6 suited to?

  • That’s not all however. By using a fan string pattern basically all of the racket face is the sweet spot.
  • This gives the obvious advantage of more powerful strokes more often, and the comfort in knowing that it won’t be the end of the world if you don’t hit the ball in the center of the racket.
  • The Head Ti S6 is more suited for beginner to intermediate players with a slow to medium compact swing who require a generous sweet spot, though it is not totally limited to that type of player. If you like to hit heavy top spin oriented shots, then this racket is perfectly suited to your game also.

Head Ti S6 review

I should point out at this stage that there are always conditions to using lightweight rackets. Perhaps the biggest thing to keep in mind is you should not lose sight of the basics of the game of tennis itself.

An amateur player will have a tendency to put more effort into the shot to get the most out of the excellent sweet spot, but forget all about racket position, footwork and balance (the basics that I alluded to above).

Some players with a lighter, more powerful racket in their hands will become lazy and as a result expose other faults in their game!

Secondly, light-weight rackets like the Head Ti S6 cannot possibly absorb as much energy as a heavier racket.

The excess energy has to go somewhere and it usually reverberates back through your body which can result in nasty injuries to your wrists, shoulders or elbows down the track. Look after yourself and get a racket that is tailored to your game.

(Note: The Shockstop is a small metal cylinder in the bottom of the racket that presses up against the grating of the shaft and dampens all of the vibrations. Of course if you hit the ball off center you will still feel vibrations, and everyone will have a different response depending on their hitting ability and tolerance to pain)

Conclusion

The Head Ti S6 is a wonderful piece of equipment and dare I say the best in its class for beginner to intermediates. If you are a player who has a compact swing and loves spin then you need to check out this racket!

Remember, we all have to start somewhere. Focus on improving the basics of your game (stroke production, footwork and most importantly physical fitness) instead of relying on ‘the next best thing’ in tennis rackets to win you the game.

If you take shortcuts and have short term success, know that it will catch up with you eventually and you will be back to square one.

I don’t mean that as nasty or accusing by the way, just rather as a couple of hopefully helpful comments to save you a lot of pain and time wasting over the long term :)
