Is the Babolat Contest Si (blue) tennis racquet good?
I've been playing tennis for less than a year and have noticed significant improvement in my ability to hit the ball compared to when I started. Currently, I’m using budget-friendly racquets from Head and Prince, but they seem to no longer meet my needs. I feel it might be time for an upgrade.
Recently, I came across the Babolat Contest Si (blue) in stores. It’s priced at around $149 AUD, and its design caught my eye. I’m considering purchasing it, but I’d like to know your opinions or reviews about this racquet. Would you recommend it for someone at my skill level? Are there other racquets in the $70–$180 AUD range that you think would be a better fit for a beginner who’s improving but not yet advanced?
I’d appreciate any advice or recommendations!

Tell us a little more about how you play.
But babolat racquets have always been very nice in my opinion. The racquet you mention seems to only appear in .au sites (Austrailian) sites… I use a babolat aeropro drive.
Make sure to always demo racquets before you buy. No one can tell you a racquet is good except YOU.

I would suggest the Babolat Pure Drive GT. Don’t get the Plus version though, it is longer and heavier and for a person who is only 5 ft. tall it would be too much to handle. The Standard version its a great racket, it will help you a lot with serve and ground strokes. It has the best combination of power,spin,and control on any racket i know.

DO NOT GET THAT RACKET, IT IS CRAPPY AND OVERPRICED. If you want a Babolat racket then get the Babolat Pure Drive, Aeropro Drive, or Pure Storm. I personally like the Wilson K6.1 95 16X18 myself. Give some rackets a try by demoing some off tenniswarehouse.com.
