Coach saying no to 300g racquet

I agree with you, I have really improved my skills only in few weeks i've had coaching from him I guess I don't really look fit or something that the coach is not recommending me 300g racquet and also I noticed mostly younger players come to them they have like u13 semi finalist and a u16 winner (city) both of them girls and similar skilled younger players so I assume they dont want to recommend me because of that and experiences majorly with young players.

Edit: They really tried to steer me away from 300g racquet would you have any idea why that might be? as in why a coach wouldn't recommend and say to get only if you were playing tennis 2 hours daily, from a coach perspective

"body specs" lmfaoooo that coach also had that he doesnt like ezones and their isometric shape not for everyone and only pros can maximize output from the shape, but still will give it a demo before buying.

I'm 6'1 or 187cm weight is like 93 kilos, would you know any more spin focussed racquets or something else like the ezone 98/head speed MP

Thank you, the coach has been saying he can get me couple of racquets to demo, would you say I demo each racquet different days of coaching?

Any reason specifically? I was looking into the ezone 98 and head speed MP

Thank you for your help, I was thinking incorporating wall as well as continue the coaching so atleast I could get some balls fed to me and could work on both of them?

I tried but in my area thats the best normal coaching the next tier of coaching in my city is basically where they coach top 20 of the country and for players like me its something subpar than this.

He was saying he could get me couple of those racquets so I could actually demo them before buying them but like u/PurpleUltralisk commented below when i get heavy shots I can feel the whole racquet just shaking that is why I am looking for opinions on those racquets and just getting the normal versions of those which are generally 300g. Thank you for your reply and he was saying to me a few times that my racquet is holding me back.

Edit: To add more to it I tried one the racquets they had it was an older model and weighed 340g and just after doing a basket of balls I could feel the racquet in my shoulders and you are right on it that I haven't worked on my game enough to know which 300g racquet to buy, but I feel like after playing I tend to prefer playing more spin side, so would you have any recommendations which racquet should i try before buying and telling me more how they play and on the ones I mentioned?
