What an amazing racket. After a lapse of over 17 years, I needed to replace my old racket, and the Peter Nicol Pro 700 was one of two on my shortlist. As luck would have it, I met a player at my local sports centre who has this racket, and he kindly let me try it. My immediate reaction was one of stunned disbelief. The even balance gives a perfect blend of power and control, the 140 gram weight gives excellent stability, and the large sweetspot is awesome - I needed no more convincing that this was the perfect racket for me. Sweatband's service and next day delivery was also superb. Many thanks.
