Wouldn't you know it? The things you look for in a tennis racketcontrol and powerplay against each other. The two were locked up at deuce until Andre Agassi helped develop Head's Flexpoint Radical OS. Dimples on this 10.4-ounce graphite frame at three and nine o'clock cause it to flex slightly, cupping the ball in the sweet spot for a fraction of a millisecond longer than rackets with less give. This micro-eternity lets you stay with the ball long enough to nail that dreamy line shot. But a wet noodle it's not: A superstrong metal alloy infused in the graphite cuts down on energy absorption, helping you smash your volleys. Just don't watch for the flexthat's indiscernible. Eye on the ball, people! Swim Goggles | Bike Saddle | Tennis Racket | Car Satellite Navigation Unit | Portable iPod Solar Charger | Bike Transporter | Whitewater Kayak | Espresso Machine | Scooter
