"Stick with the Pro or Wait for the Motion?

Goldenpoint

I'm thinking of switching my racket to improve my smashes without sacrificing too much control. I initially wanted the Extreme Motion, but my supplier sent me the Pro instead. Now, I'm unsure whether to stick with the Pro or wait for the Motion. Also, I've heard the Extreme Pro is heavier, which is another factor causing hesitation.

Goldenpoint The Extreme Motion will provide more power on overhead shots than the Pro due to its head-heavy balance and Polymer Matrix frame.

Although, it may feel too clunky coming from a control racket. The Pro offers a nicer blend of power and control. I'd recommend trying the Pro first since you already have it. If you are still lacking smash power after adjusting to the added weight, then consider switching to the Motion. But don't sacrifice too much feel just to maximize power.

Yes, the Pro is indeed heavier. So if your aim is to improve your smash and gain more control, I suggest you wait for the Motion. For sure it'll be worth the wait since that's the lighter version of Pro.
