No. I will only get to view the new line. I won't be hitting any of the new racquets. Will try to convince the rep to get us some a little sooner than normal since I'm really interested in the Steam 99 16x18 and we've done we'll with Wilson in the past year.

I've heard that this frame is supposed to be very close to the BLX Tour so it can be slightly longer than standard but I couldn't confirm this.

Thanks in advance.

Sure. I will get all the specs on the new Steam line and the Blade line. I'm assuming he will have all these. Hoping to get a catalog too. Also curious to see what else is coming from Wilson. Til Tuesday.

I've sometimes wondered why manufacturers were going 16x20, beginning with Babolat. I've just always had less feel with them. I also wanted to try those new Yonex frames but decided not to after seeing them also go 16x20. I never understood why and I wonder if they're scrambling to do the opposite now that these Wilsons are coming. 5 less crosses, that sounds like a lot especially if in a midsize.

Nice find! Makes it look like it's S-Team and not Steam. Spin Team maybe?

Couch did you have a chance to look up the specs of the Steam 96?

Should have it in the catalog. I'll try to look and reply with those specs a little later. If I remember, the 96 has a matte paint job similar to the Juice Pro. Really another nice feeling and looking stick.

Probably sorry to inform but the Steam 96 is 10.2 oz unstrung and 10.8 oz strung. I'm sure most on this forum would want a heavier weight. Both the Steam 99/99S are 11.3 oz strung.
