The Head Ti S6 tennis racket is a racket of superb general performance and ability due to its excellent titanium design. It affords the racket a level of maneuverability and control that's hardly ever experienced with such a powerful piece of equipment. In other words, the Ti S6 gives you the power of a long racket without sacrificing agility and control.
That's not all however. By using a fan string pattern, basically all of the racket face is the sweet spot. This provides the obvious advantage of more powerful strokes more often, and the comfort in knowing that it will not be the end of the world if you do not hit the ball in the center of the racket.
The Head Ti S6 is more suitable for starter to intermediate players with a slow to medium compact swing who need a generous sweet spot, though it's not totally limited to that style of player. If you like to hit heavy top spin oriented shots, then this racket is completely suited to your game also.

I should indicate at this stage that there always conditions to using lightweight rackets. Possibly the biggest thing to remember while reading the Head Ti S6 review is that you should not lose fundamental sight of the fundamentals of the game of tennis itself.
A novice player will have a tendency to put more attempt into the shot to get the most out of the excellent sweet spot, but forget all about racket position, footwork and balance (the fundamentals that I alluded to above).
Some players with a lighter, more strong racket in their hands will become lazy and because of this expose other faults in their game!
Secondly, light weight rackets such as Ti S6 cannot maybe absorb as much energy as a heavier racket. The additional energy has to go somewhere and it normally reverberates back through your body which can result in nasty accidents to your wrists, shoulders or elbows down the track. Look after yourself and obtain a racket that is tailored to your game.
(Note: Shockstop is a tiny metal cylinder in the bottom of you shaft that presses up against the grating of the shaft and dampens all of the vibrations. Certainly if you hit the ball off center you will still feel vibrations, and everyone will have a different response based on their hitting capability and tolerance to pain)
Bear in mind, we all have to begin somewhere. Focus on improving the fundamentals of your game (stroke production, footwork and most importantly physical fitness) instead of relying on 'the next best thing' in tennis rackets to win you the game.
If you take shortcuts and have short term success, know that it will catch up with you finally and you will be back to square one.
I do not mean that as nasty or accusing by the way, just rather as a couple of hopefully helpful comments to save you a lot of pain and time wasting over the long term.
But I digress, the Head Ti S6 tennis racket is a magnificent piece of equipment and dare I say the best in its class for beginner to intermediates. If you're a player who has a compact swing and loves spin then you would be crazy not to check this racket out!
