I've been playing with the 28" green/black SW104 but I've been eyeing one of those 'older' 104 blade because of the lower flex in the older blade 104s
The 28" SW104 is great so far, taken a few session to get used to it but early preparation is the key. I've only used standard length before and was doubtful 1 inch would be all that different but I was wrong. I could def see how people either love it or hate it -- but it sure is fun to play with. But my biggest concern is arm health because of the high stiffness rating.
Is this the 2015 104 you are using https://www.tennis-warehouse.com/reviews/B104/B104review.html ?
Does it have a noticeable flex? How's the power level or overall thoughts?
The Blade 104 I've been playing is this one - I find it a very good racquet, great controlled power, sometimes a little unpredictable if you can generate your own power easily. In terms of flex it's fine, you don't really notice any stiffness, overall a great easy racquet to play with. I played with the SW104 v6 for a couple of months and I just couldn't adapt hence why I'm now playing with customised 27.6" custom Blade 102
