18x20

I know I am few years behind the ball but the Solinco Whiteout 305 18x20 caught my eye. Does anyone here have any experience with this frame? What don't the reviews on YouTube tell consumers about it? Any experience with playing around the weighted buttcaps for the 18x20? Do you think Solinco...

Hi I'm 5.0 player that likes to hit very powerful spiny shots with my forehand but powerful and flat shots with my backhand right now Is using a volkl V8 pro 18x20. The racquet has good power and topspin but the launch angle is really high, that makes me bit a little bit insecure when I want to...

I need a bit of guidance please. I am currently using a pro staff Six one 95 v13 prob labs frame and only have been using Six one 95 18x20 frames for over 25 years. I’ve tried to switch to a lighter more and forgiving frame in recent years but I always go back to my Six one 95. I’ve just...

Hi guys, Watching Stricker at the next gen finals destroying Draper, and having watched him at Antwerp and Basel, I’m curious whether anyone would have an idea as to whether he might be using a pro stock? It’s obviously an 18x20 Speed Pro mold, as makes sense with his flat game, but more...

I have a Racquet that comes in both 16x19 and 18x20 version, same weight, balance point just different string pattern. I get more spin from the 18x20 version, and this is not logical for all I know. Does anyone else have the same experience ? I have the idea that I swing more confident with...

Will adding weight to a head prestige 18x20 hoop alter the plushness or feel? So far I am not feeling it.

That is most important determinant of a control racquet- Head Size or String pattern?

Which of these rackets do you guys prefer? Head graphene 360+ prestige MP or Yonex vcore 97 HD. I'm on the fence which one to buy.

Hey fellow Tennis enthusiasts! I have done lots of research to find a good stick for myself. Unfortunately, I can't demo rackets at all, because of the place I'm from. Both these rackets are not available for demo where I'm at. Otherwise I could have tested myself which one I would buy. I'm now...

Hey, can someone recommend a good string setup for T40 305 (18x20)? Im used to play with polys (mostly RPM Blast and Foxus hex) around 27/26 kg. Thanks

Hello my friends, I am wheelin to switch racquets at the moment. I still use my Wilson Hyper Carbon Pro Staff 5.0 (16x20), which is excellent. In fact, i am starting to feel it a bit heavy now that I am nearly 36 yo. I made up my mind and will acquire a new tf 40 305g, but my main concern is...

I am a long time user of the Head Youtek IG Prestige MP. I am looking for something slightly more forgiving, however I have searched far and wide- nothing compares, and I am back to looking at a new prestige as it may be the most viable option. I am currently waiting for a demo, but would...

My main racket is a Pure drive plus (2015), but ive been taking the 93p 18x20 out more often lately. It really has a nice feel on contact. I strung the 93p with Tourna Big Banger rough 17 at 48lb. Although it felt great for the first 2 hitting sessions, the tension dropped very quickly and im...

One of the underappreciated junior rackets I think. There are very few 18x20 98 softer rackets with low swingweights around, so for a junior player it's a good introduction to 'proper' rackets. Plus points for being cheap to boot. Bought one to try myself, to get a sample of what that fuss about...

I have noticed my Wilson blade v7 18x20 frame is starting to deform to more of a circle. When I hold it next to other blades, the frame is less egg shape. Am I tripping or have other people had that happen. Holding it next to other racquets, it’s wider by almost a full beam. How is that possible?

I want to know if anyone had any experience with both and has some input of how they compare. I know the chances are very slim but I still think it is worth trying.

I just wonder why a 18x20 version of the legenday Wilson line is (no longer?) available. As a long-term devoted (but separated since few years now) to this racquet, I would love a 18x20 to satisfy all my need for control and placement. I have migrated to Prestige MP and Blade, both 18x20, but...

I'm pretty sure I did this wrong... I'm so used to Yonex 2-pieces which end up so clean. I bought a new 18x20 v7 Blade and as per their site, it mentions to tie the x-string at 6T, 12B. Problem being the mains have already travelled back to tie off at 7B which leaves a bundle of strings like in...

Old topic, new thread! What are some good poly to try for this string pattern in your opinion? I'm trying to look around for ideas to string my Head MG Radical MP. My priorities, in order from high to low, are: power, spin potential, overall cost (price + how long each sj last), control (since...

Hey there, I think there's an incorrect value for the slice on your review page — I'm assuming it's an average of all your 4 scores? If so that would make it (9.1+8.8+8.5+8.8)/4 = 8.8. Unless the calculations are done otherwise, I was just surprised by the score considering it's one of the...

Hey there, Quick question for clarity — on your site it shows the 18x20 v7 balance as 4pts and on the official Wilson site, it says 7pts — is it 4pts strung? Thanks!

Hey everyone, Just got a BLX (2010) 6.1 95 18x20 and was wondering what strings and setups you’ve used. Looking for some recommendations.

Hello, I need some help here about my racquet. I'm using a customized TI Radical MP of which I'd like to know its specs, specially the swingweight. Head Size: 98 sq. in. / 632 sq. cm. Length: 27.00 inches / 68.58 cm Strung Weight: 10.75 oz / 305 g Balance: 3pts HL Swing Weight: 312 Beam Width...

Hi All, Excuse the length of this post. Helpful if you read it. I just got my new PS 18x20. I used to play with a Babolat Pure Storm GT and havent changed since 2011 as I havent been able to find a racquet that plays similar. I demoed the PS 18x20 racquet using TW's demo program. Tried the...

I understand the Kneissl Star series ending with '35' were midplusses but i can not seem to find and specifications (especially in regards to flex/stiffness) and was wondering if any of those beautiful frames were made stiff. the original lendl gtx frames were really flexible (not to mention...

I just did this. It is fascinating, but the strings (NRG 16g mains at 57 and Lux Element 17g crosses at 53) were too tight for it to feel very good. Hit some great shots as it opened up, but felt brassy outside of tennis ball sized sweet spot. Anyone else experiment with this? EZ Ace Machine

Question for any of you. I was wondering how to complete a one piece string job on a 16x20 or 18x20 racquets? It works out logically when the racquet starts top down, but both these Wilsons start bottom up — does that mean I always have to do ATW? Otherwise my crosses start at the throat and...

Which string pattern do you guys prefer?
