The 18x19 99 (I think Prestige MP?) also could be interesting if you like to customize to your weight. It might also be worth looking at the latest Prestige Pro, since the latest gen is supposed to have a little more power and slightly easier to play with, if you wanted to stay in the Prestige line. I can't comment on the Blade Pro.too much of a pain to demo, and I'm not so displeased with all other racquets available that I'd buy one blind. The VCP D might be worth a demo, if you're experimenting with 18x20s. If you're used to HL racquets, the VCP H might be too heavy unless you're paying for matching service at a lower swingweight (for reference the Gravity Pro was great for me, the VCP H definitely wore me out). Definitely more forgiving, so just what you're looking for. The 18x20 on a 100 head is definitely a unique experience, kind of control kind of open. The feel was comfortable but a little plasticky to me, and I couldn't get used to the tear drop shape, but other than that it felt great. ![]() My initial reaction is to suggest sticking with the gravity pro, if there's no complaints. I said I'm enjoyed 18x20s, but I've played with 16x19s my whole life until now, so hopefully that wouldn't be a huge concern. Note: I'm in Australia, so we only have the 16x19 Blade Pro. Obviously it can have a very unwieldy swingweight, but if I get one in the 330-335 range I should be able to manage it. I should be getting one eventually, but does anyone have enough experience with these sticks to give me some idea how they compare? I'm tempted to pull the trigger on a Blade Pro just to test. The Blade Pro and the new 330g Vcore feel like they may both have something to offer me, but the Blade is impossible to demo and the Vcore is a really popular demo that's hard to get a hold of at the moment. I really enjoyed the feel when striking the ball, and it was very predictable while letting me generate a lot of mass based power. I typically gravitate towards a headlight balance for my 1HBH, but the Gravity actually hit a good ball off that wing with its fairly head heavy balance so I'm less concerned there. ![]() I like heavy racquets with high swingweights, and have been enjoying 18x20's a lot lately, which is a first. I've just demo'd the Gravity Pro for a week and enjoyed it a lot. Currently enjoying the Angell TC95 18x20, but still on the hunt for something potentially a tiny bit more forgiving. The sweet spot is just a little too small when I play better players. ![]() I've been demoing a lot lately because I've been unsatisfied with my current sticks, the Head 360+ Prestige Pro (now the Prestige Tour). I'm a big guy who plays flat attacking tennis built around a big first serve.
