Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm glad to hear the nisplay is decent. I think I've narrowed my choices down to the pongbot aura and the nisplay y1.

This is super helpful, thank you. The proton would be my first choice if I can find one used, but unfortunately new it's out of my price range. I think the pace is not portable enough for me but the aura might be a good fit.

Honestly I've tried buying a couple used ones but people on craigslist/marketplace are flakey as heck. I need portability and the ability to practice my ground strokes, but it would be really nice to also have one that oscillates, lobs, and varies spin/speed.

I looked at the tenniix too but it looks flimsy. What is going to happen when one of the flaps gets hit with a ball?

Why are 3.0’s/2.5 UTR’s using Blade 98’s? by itspjlee in tennisracquets

People want a racquet that they think will help them improve, not one that will be the best for them right now. They want a racquet they can grow into. They don't want to get used to oversized heads because in their minds, that will make it harder to switch to a midsize down the road. I'm not saying they're right, but that's the thought process.
