AdTouch 97

The new space grey color way was the perfect update to the AdTouch v1. Incredible stability and feeling on every shot.

Great racquet! My son uses it for his high school tennis team. The racquet provides a lot of power on his serve and good touch at the net. He has tried higher priced racquets but always goes back to his Carve.

Love this racket!! I had been playing with the Prostaff 97v14, but found it heavy after an hour and a half of hitting and no help when footwork or strokes weren’t perfect. This Adtouch racket has been exactly what I needed. It does feel like 80% prostaff, 20% blade. It is lighter, but not by much - still feels solid and doesn’t bother my elbow, I get plenty of control, able to get spin when I want it and flatten out shots when I want. Sweet spot feels bigger - able to get depth when hitting defensively but doesn’t feel launchy. Easier to maneuver for volleys. The only small negatives for me are that there’s slightly less power on my flat serves, but I’ve added a couple of grams at noon and that seems to have solved for that - and I don’t love the sound it makes when you hit - just a little “twangy”, but I don’t use a dampener. I use it exclusively now - so worth the price. Fantastic racket!

If you are looking for a lighter, pro-staff-like racquet for your one-handed backhand, the AdTouch 97 is a great option. This is a modern control racquet with a soft and classic feel. Shots in the sweet spot are rewarded. Great value—it's a very understated racquet, but the quality is on point given its price point.
