2020 Wilson Pro Staff 6.1 18x20 Official Thread

[alexsoin]

Playing with Six One 100 v13 and it is a very "perfect" racket for me. I can't help but wonder whether the 95 is much more difficult by leaps and bounds? Because the 100 is easier than Ezone Tour and Blade Pro, albeit with weaker flat serve.

I played with Wilson Shift Pro-s for a while which have nearly identical specs to Six.One 100. I picked Shift Pro-s due to 18x20 pattern which I had in my last 4-5 rackets. Obviously, Six.One 95 is more challenging to hit with especially during long singles matches. I like the challenge though and trying to get into better shape to swing this thing effectively for say 3 hours straight. You are rewarded with unprecedented control, plough to hit thru the court with very low launch angle if you can swing this frame fully and fast with good technique (the sweet spot is pretty small). Due to much higher static weight, 6.1 95 just feels so solid on everything, really love it on serves and volleying, groundies are pretty robust too, the best slice you can imagine. Shift Pro-s feel like tweener frames, tiny, twisty and not solid in comparison and playing with them feels like a cake walk due to free power/spin which 6.1 doesn’t give you.

Yea it does hit nice but it’s not a parallel comparison with the Blade Pro. It’s a different mold from the other Pro Staffs and not like the traditional ones. Very underrated frame in their line. The 95 is a true players frame. Flexible with amazing control and feel if you can manage an 18x20 string pattern. It’s not for everyone.
