Avery M3 Control Mid+ Racquets Customer Reviews"Any player out there who has been desiring more depth, but has been frustrated by seeing their whipped ground strokes regularly falling short into their opponent's court, should give the Avery M3 Control racquets a try. The increased heft of the 12.2 ounce Avery racquet, the weight of which you can adjust to your precise liking with a little lead tape, adds an extra two to three feet on your groundies for the same amount of effort. For those players who play a lot of doubles or like to volley in singles, the Avery M3 Control's solid feel on contact results in penetrating volleys and the frame's relative flexibility compared to stiffer racquets provides feel and touch. The headlight balance allows for maneuverability. The frame's heft and stable crossbar design in the throat area result in the incoming ball regularly getting the worse end of the collision, not your racquet face or arm joints. Take an Avery M3 Control out for a spin! You'll like what you experience."-Tom, Cheyenne, WY" I've had the M3 Control racquets now for a little over 3 weeks. I've played two tourneys with them and made both doubles finals, winning one of them. In the singles I lost in the semis to the eventual winner. I haven't even had time to get used to them and they are performing this well, I can't wait to see where this partnership ends up. If you are a control player and like to know exactly where the ball's going you have to give this racquet a try. The weight is so well distributed you'd swear it was a much lighter frame...it's the best volleying racquet I've ever played, the ball just "pops" on the volleys. Don't cheat yourselves, give this one a try." - Darrel, Yelm, WA"I've been playing the M3 Control for 6 months. The first time I played the racket I won a match against a tough opponent with shots more accurate than I had ever hit. Needless to say I now have two M3s and have enjoyed playing the game more than ever. As a fairly new tennis player, I give a lot of credit for my shot development to a racket that offers great control and stability when facing heavy hitters. The weight eliminated any arm or shoulder pain I was experiencing with a lighter racket." 
- Gary, Houston, TX"This is a remarkably well conceived frame. Beautifully balanced and easy to swing despite the 12.5 ounce weight. I like the slightly wider head and the cross brace below the head does help with control. Another feature that I like is the fact that you can feel the frame flex a bit on well hit serves and approach shots, something that is lacking on too many of today's stiff frames. Look forward to getting to know this racquet and learning to take advantage of all that it has to offer." - Jon, Milwaukee, WI"I played yesterday for the first time with M3 control (without lead tape yet, I am thinking about that to increase the power of forehand) and I could not believe how good serve now I have ;-). So fast and precise like surgery knife!!! Thanks to M3 control and Tom Avery's DVD - Return of serve I have beaten for the first time my 17 years younger, 2 meters tall fellow (I am 44) with heavy forehand and serve swings. I am just astonished that I could now return so many big serves back. O.K., he has not placed them so well to the sideline like he used to but now I can manage such fast balls and also kick serves which jump on the level of my head (if I would stay on the baseline) I can now return being a little bit more behind the base line still safe into the court. I am again happy to play well placed balls from all positions, slice backhand has improved even further and now I can return lot of shots landing just to my feet. This racquet is so much maneuverable!" - Vladimir, Puchov, Slovakia"Bought 5 M3 Control rackets over the past 10 months. These rackets simply have all the traits of a perfect player's racket... 12+ ounces, but head light to keep the racket extremely maneuverable. No frills dependability. After demo-ing many rackets over the years, I really think the Avery M3 Control is the real sleeper hit out of all the rackets in the market. I hope the word spreads - because Avery has a real winner with the M3 Control." 
- Anon, NJ"Very nice- quality finish. My one handed backhand improved almost overnight due to the mass of the frame. Solid volleys and return of serves as expected. I use this one mostly for practice since I don't believe I would be able to get a matching pair due to wide variation in weights between the one I demoed and 2 frames I received afterward. Still worth the investment to protect wrist, elbows and shoulders though." - Phil, Corona, CA"I like this racquet! I'm playing better than ever, and I think my switch to the M3 is part of my success. My consistency is better. I get good spin and consistency on my second serves. I'm able to get the racquet around nicely, and with a moderate swing speed make accurate, high percentage shots. This one works for me." - Joe, Alpine, UT"The m3 control is an outstanding racquet due to the spin potential, control and flex. Great for elbow / shoulder pain. The weight/distribution has a nice effect on serves, volleys, and groundstrokes. No gimmicks, just plain solid. I am sold!!" - Brian, Ormond beach, FL
