Need help selecting a tennis racket

I need to replace my tennis racket and I have no idea what to get. I had a Wilson Prostaff 6.6 Titanium which I got as a gift. I used the Wilson product selector online and it suggested ether a Prostaff Torch or a Triad 5. Which one of these should I get or is there a better one that you would suggest?

Thanks
 
you seriously have to try them. right now im using a head racket, but i tried some new head rackets, and i like the feel of the heavier rackets more now, it feels more fluid.

no one can tell you what you will like, and plus u need to know your grip size.

If you want a heavy racquet, you could get either the Triad 6.0, or the HyperProstaff 6.1.
I've used both, and I own the HyperProstaff, and they're a delight to play with. They're so much better than those expensive light racquets that the sales people try to sell you.
 
what kind of player are you? when i played a lot of tennis, i had a hyperpro staff. forget what number... but it was red. it was a great baseliner racket. if you have a big, solid swing. and a reasonably good player.

I think that's the 6.1.
Anyway, choosing a racquet is just a matter of taste and playing style. Just make sure to get a good heavy and head-light racquet.

With my prostaff I usually hit deep shots but I need more control of the ball. I think the racket was limiting the speed I could hit the ball. Which tennis racket would be better for me?

 
According to that site. I should avoid most of the Triad since they are headheavy. I guess that explains the difference I felt when I played with my friend's Hammer for a while. So should I get the Prostaff Torch or some other one?

Thanks
 
Try to demo them if you can. When I played tennis a few years ago, I demoed from Tenniswarehouse.com. You just pay shipping now it seems.
