Advantages: power prevents tennis elbow very well very comfortable to play with

Disadvantages: sometimes it has a bit much power meaning the ball goes long

The Head Protector was orignally built to prevent tennis elbow. Not that pleasant a thing, as some of you may have experienced. Personally, I didn't buy this raquet for that reason, although I do know a few people that have this raquet who got it for its intended purpose. According to them, it does do its job very well. This is due to the double shock absorbers and the overall design of the raquet. The Head Protector has a feature on it that is virtually unseen on any other raquet. This is an electronic shock absorber. It works by having a normal absorber at the bottom of the raquet, and a microchip inside the raquet itself. In some technical way it works very well. There is another shock absorber that should come with the raquet, this isn't some technical piece of physics, its just a standard one.

When I first played with this raquet, I personally loved it. Mostly because of the amount of power it generates. Obviously, when I first played with it I wasn't used to it. So you even had to control the power on a serve. My guess is that the main reason behind this is the very thick frame. Although having payed with it for over a year now, I have come to really like it and controlling it is no longer a problem.

I think you can pick this raquet up for about a third of its retail (250) at www.milletsports.co.uk

Summary: Well worth it, a brilliant raquet that generates loads of power.
