You are right

- first priority is comfort
- second is power to hit less hard and still have balspeed
- third is control

The London is ok for me except the less control (maybe also because I use the Klip Legend (22 kg)

I shall also try the Ki5 (315 if I can handle it or the 295 if not)

I used to suffer from TE and haven't had a lick of problems with BLX Blade 98. Now, I do use all gut or soft multi set ups. Hope that helps.

I have a pretty tough elbow, but I had one racket that really started making it ache after hitting. I stopped using the racket, but the pain continued even after switching back the the Prestige that I had had been using before without any issue.

Then, I picked up a Donnay (X-Red 94+), and from the first time I hit with it, there was no ache at all. I've never had the pain return since then, even when I go back to the Prestige. I think the Donnay helped me play and heal at the same time.

The Donnay is still the most cushioned (not most flexible though, it's different) racket I've used, even more than my Head Prostocks. Right now I have it strung with Gut/Poly at 50#main/46#crosses. It's amazingly soft and has more power than any power racket I've owned or tried (Babolat, Head Extreme, etc). I can play very casually with it and still find great depth and speed.

Once I have enough coin saved up, this racket will be mine!

If you string it low tension with the multi or nat gut, it will have more power than you'll know what to do with.

Isn't a KBlade tour heavier than 11.5?
