Both tennis rackets are oversized frames that are aimed more at beginners rather than intermediate to advanced players.

For the below comparison, I have used the 2007 version of the Head Ti S6 and the 2013 version of the Drive Max 110 from Babolat.

Pros and Cons

Both of these tennis rackets have very similar pros and cons as they both have large sweet spots that give you lots of easy power but at the cost of control.

These rackets are best for beginners who haven’t developed a full swing yet and need some help getting power behind their shots.
