Whats the best racquet for me? I'm leaning towards buying the Babolat pure storm tour plus(a racquet which seems to be discontinued for standard length, according to tennis warehouse and tennis express)
This racquet is 27.5 in length, and I'm feeling a little iffy about buying due the maneuverability for quick volleys, also the fact that roddick has problem volleying too, since he uses a 27.5 length racquet.

I am also a high school student about 5'7, 137lbs, who prefers to serve and volley, and be an offensive baseliner.

I just need some opinions from players because I do not want to waste my money. Or actually if you have any suggestions to other racquets that suit me, thats great too.

RE:Whats the best racquet for me? @tmacfor3 I consulted some of the expert racquet pickers at Tennis Express before I was going give you a suggestion. Tennis Express suggested that you demo it first because that is the best way to know if it suites you, but you will get more power on your serve with the added length of the Plus however, the added length will make volleying more difficult maneuverability-wise.

Since you prefer the serve and volley game I would suggest going for another racquet myself as a tennis player. I would try the Pure Drive GT, Pure Storm Tour and Pure Storm GT, and Aero Storm GT. I always try a lot of different racquets at once to test out the right feel because all of those racquets suite a serve & volley game.

Hope this helps :)
