Lots of players will give you an opinion on this topic. Please do not confuse an opinion with expertise. This is a huge mistake players make. They listen to others who are happy with their rackets.

You will see this so often but you need to test as many rackets as you can and begin to understand the characteristics of each racket. Find the common traits of the rackets for you like as this will guide you. Read my article on choosing a racket and this will also help you.

There is no difference between left or right handed player in choosing a racket. It’s depend on which style of player do you like or want to be : attaching or defending.
There are few factors should be considered when choosing a racket : balance, stiffness and frame.

The link above is very useful in describing the types of racket. I agree there is no such thing as a left handed racket.

Ideally you need to test rackets and not the specs of each. From this you will soon understand where your preferences lie which in turn helps you seek out those rackets meeting this personal spec.

You have to initially apply a scientific approach to finding your ideal racket even though the final decision will be based on whether the racket feels good for you.

Nobody can tell you which racket will work. This is your job alone. If you get it wrong then sell the racket and try again. It’s the only way.
