New Blade 93

Pretty positive review of the new Blade 93. I was wondering how the playtesters would compare it to the old Blade 93, the black and gold one. I have one of these and I like it, but I always thought it had sort of a deadened feel. Thanks.

I think it blows the BLX Blade Tour off the court. Way, way more forgiving. The sweetspot feels bigger and the response is plusher. The BLX Blade Tour felt very dead to me and brassy and unforgiving anywhere off center, this new one still feels good outside of the sweetspot. I think it is closer to the KBlade Tour in its response, but with better feel.

I am very impressed with the new Blade 93.

Thanks Chris. As a former KBT user, this was a great reference point for me.
