Saw one at my local shop. Not sure how the owner got it but he can't sell it yet. Will take pictures and post them in couple of days.

My mistake, thought it was a 16x19 but just checked and it was an 18x20 pattern. It was a solid racquet but I hated the dense string pattern. This is in reference to the Kblade Tour 93.

So, does this mean that you prefer the KBlade Tour compared to the new one..? I wonder how different the dense string pattern feels relatively to a prestige mid, which remains my reference stick.

I have only used a KBlade Tour 93 for something like 30 mins in the past and the only thing I remember was that I liked how it felt.

Oh! Thanks for the clarification. The K Blade Tour has a pretty dense string pattern so I definitely see where you are coming from.

I hope the new blade is very similar to the Kblade.

I haven't had the luxury of trying out the new one like some of the people here on the forums. Tennis is not a very popular sport here since there are so many outdoor activities you can do.

I would say the Kblade Tour 93 was similar to the prestige but had a bit more power whereas the Prestige mid had more control.

Why is it that it's always the Blade that gets the best paintjob?! WHY OH WHY OH WHY?! Why not the 6.1 series?! Sigh... Guess I'll settle with the fact that the ProStaff 90 dominated the BLX paintjob and edges out the [K]Factor by a hair.

Nice looking sticks, but other than the option of 16x19 are they really any different to the previous model? Also, isn't anyone else spooked by the light weight? Personally, I'd like to see a heavier version.

Hopefully not any different since the 98 specs are perfect.

As for light weight, that is the best part of the racquet. It has a SW in the 330s and a low static weight, so I actually hit harder than I did with my prior sticks which were 345 grams.

what is the best version of the blade 98 ?
