They’ve reverted back to how the older blades were the ncode and k factor they had more power than these current blades which is why they had 93sq inch and 95sq inch and 88 and 90 sq inch versions
How would you compare it to the solinco whiteout? Ive been playing with the Whiteout 18x20 and love it. But have also loved playing with previous Blades.
I gotta say, aesthetically speaking, that is a beautiful racket! What was with the rubber band on the strings? Is that like a DIY dampener or something? Thanks and congrats on 7K!!!
Yes it is! Elastics can serve as a substitute for a vibration dampener. Works well. Many legends of the game used to do this like Agassi, Sharapova, and many many others
I noticed the Blade feels/sounds/plays very different at the center of the sweet spot (two crosses over the middle) versus everywhere else. Could that be the cause of the inconsistency you experienced?
Yes..or like the size of a window above the net. Window 2 would be stacked above that and window 3 above that etc. At times my ball goes through window 2 or 3 and doesn't penetrate the court enough
@@BambotbAs I said, they're two different kind of racquets. BladePro is an H22 mold that has more power and plow due to higher stock SW and thicker beam. Sweetspot is more defined and off centre hits are quite jarring....
The swing weight QC is so so bad on these. I had 10 frames and there was a difference of 25 points heaviest and lightest. Its just unacceptable. They have only tightened up on the static weight and the balance
I love my string and putting it in a different racquet will tell me a lot about it. If I HAD to play the blade (knowing what I know now) I would put a stiffer string in it. Ex: Sync, Alu, confidential.
You got to string it with higher tension or remove the lead at the hoop so to have that control over power
Congrats on 7k, Cade!!
Thanks. Means a lot!

Great Review, Keep it Up!!
Thank you!
I need to string 16 hyper g 63lbs for prostaff 97 to tame power and trampoline effect.
Hi MP!
What's your total weight for your Radical Pro?
(With overgrip, dampener, or lead tape)
I did a video about this on the channel with some in depth details! 😀
How would you compare it to the solinco whiteout? Ive been playing with the Whiteout 18x20 and love it. But have also loved playing with previous Blades.
I personally enjoyed the whiteout series more than the blade. I would probably pick any whiteout over the blade. Just my opinion.
You should try playing with a Blade Pro V9. Totally different racket that does everything better than the retail Blade.
i think you will like it but i think u should still stick with radical as it suits your game slightly better
Are u going to do a similar review for the 18x20 by any chance? Very keen to see ur take on that one 👍

Honestly I have no idea hahah. In general just very powerful. Which was unexpected
Current v core pro 97 user. Thinking of going for this. V core pro is dead. No spin no power
How are you feeling about those ASICS a little longer term?
I actually stopped wearing em… I missed my 9.5s lol
What is “window 1”? Means one net height over the net?
Yes..or like the size of a window above the net. Window 2 would be stacked above that and window 3 above that etc. At times my ball goes through window 2 or 3 and doesn't penetrate the court enough
seems u werent a huge fan of it overall. what happened to solinco confidential? I though that was ur string?
He's using a toroline string now similar to confidential. He made a vid about it
Not my favorite racquet. But... will work for some. I use Toroline Super Toro now. Confidential still a great string though!
For many people is not interesant speak about a racket that you adds weight. The interestind review is in stock form and after we will see but thanks
@@juanantoniocanohidalgo5070 i did not like it stock. That why I added weight. Still was not amazing. Did something similar to the V8.
@@MPTennis thanks I have bought this v9 and Radical Mp 300 , wich you prefer for control in stock form? Many thanks
It looks like your review was coloured by a low string tension.
50lbs isn’t low
Where would you add lead Cade? Thanks 🎉
That’s a personal thing. Wherever you feel like you need it.
How different are these than wilson lab blade pro?
Blade Pro is a pure graphite layup without any tech in it. Mold is also completely different. They aren't similiar to retail Blades....
@@hybrid11theory75 sure but i want to know how different
@@BambotbAs I said, they're two different kind of racquets. BladePro is an H22 mold that has more power and plow due to higher stock SW and thicker beam. Sweetspot is more defined and off centre hits are quite jarring....
That section your referred to as the "heart"... i believe its called the yoke.

Probably should spend more time with a racket before reviewing it if you haven’t even found the right string setup yet.

Pro do not play with that
Yeah loads do. They just add weight and use it as a base racquet
Head size?????
