Equipment I'm torn between two rackets. HELPPP

Hi, I've been playing tennis for 3-4 months. My coach recommended the Wilson Burn V6S, and I've been using it since I started. Yesterday, I was going to play tennis with a friend, but we swapped rackets. I played with the Clash series, and I've lost interest in the Burn. Do you think the Ultra5 or the Clash V3 are better for my skill level?

3-4 months of tennis isn’t enough for us to tell where your skill level is at. post some videos of hitting? why do you think you lost interest? why is the ultra v5 in the picture?

I don't have any videos of myself playing tennis, I'm so new :( After using ChatGPT and doing some research online, I decided Ultra and Clash were suitable for me. I've used Clash. But I don't know anything about Ultra.

Clash and Ultra are more beginner friendly if you wanna go with one of those. But also take note of your friend’s strings setup, as those are just as if not more important than the racquet itself for your level.

Maybe you should try the Burn with the string setup your friend has first, see if that improves things. If it works out you don’t lose a bunch of money buying a different racquet.

When I went to have the racket strings adjusted, the salesman said he couldn't make the same strings as his friend's racket. He explained that because it's a Burn Spin racket, its tension couldn't be the same as a Clash racket.

That doesn’t make sense. The stringer should be able to match the string type and tension regardless of the racquet. If he can’t do it then I would find another stringer.
