I play with the Blade 98 but I recommend considering the Blade 100 or the Percept 100D before fully committing. They're a little firmer and give more pop. That said, neither have the good feel of the Blade 98.
My last racquet was the Blade v2 18x20 from 2011, picked up a v9 16x19 recently and fell instantly in love. Way more feel, which really builds up confidence in putting more pace in an already fast ball. The 16x19 pattern really helps with accessing spin, compared to the 18x20 which eats up some spin for more control. Hands down my recommended racquet for someone who can produce their own power through proper coiling and uncoiling their kinetic chain.
@@AdventureTennis Haven’t tried it yet. I really like my whiteout but was thinking of giving it a try and also for the 16x19 string bed helping my game out maybe.
@@ryansolomon4178 Ahhh sorry misread that last comment. Let us know what you think. Are there any reason why you want to change into this racquet that you are missing in your Whiteout?
@@AdventureTennis the flex rating forgiveness and the 16x19 open pattern. Sometimes when I hit the tape, I always wonder if the racquet launch angle was a little higher, would it have gone over. Know what I mean?
Vince plays with Luxilon Eco Spin 17g currently and he loves it. We also like Toroline Wasabi, the dark pink strings. We have a 15% discount code for them “ADVENTURETENNIS”. Vince will be switching into those again shortly

Wooow! V2 from 2011! That’s amazing! Thank you for sharing!!
@@MochiNPRA nailed it. I typically struggle with accessing spin and this stick helps me negate that struggle !
Yes! I was also thinking for trying it with its soft flex but stiffer head face. I also now have a OHBH.
Nice! What did you think of it?

As for tension, that’s more personal taste. Vince is at 54lbs.
