Any difference between Ksix-one 95 18/20 and Pure Storm Limited?

[MochiMellow]

I have been hitting with pure storm tours for about 8 months and fortunately got a chance to hit with a pure storm limited. The frame was a weird egg shape, kind of like the old school racquets. I loved it! I tried a KSix-one 95 a long time ago but never liked the feeling of it. maybe it was because it was a 16/18 string bed. Anyways, I love the feeling of the pure storm limited. Is this because of the string bed difference from the pure storm tours (16/20)? Can anyone vouche for a dramatic difference between these two racquets and let me know the pros and cons of each and how you felt when you were hitting with them. Thanks! I am considering a racquet change so I can have some time to get used to it before the spring season. Thanks again!

Ahh double post! Sorry! Anyways, I am open to comments and thoughts on any other racquet with a string bed of 18/20. Thanks! Any info is greatly appreciated.

Well, for a start, there's a truckload of SW difference between the two, with the Wilson being much heavier swinging and stiffer. Even ignoring the rest of the differences I would say those two facts make those two rackets play well for very different people.

I have a Wilson nPS 95 with 18 X 20 stringbed.

While I like the control of this racquet, I have gradually grown dissatisfied with the lack of power and the lack of spin available with this string pattern. (I have semi-Western FH, and I could get both more power and spin with my old PS 6.0. But it's way too heavy for me now.)

Presently most of my shots land just behind the service line. Also, with my old stick I used to be able to hit FH winners easily, now I almost never blow a FH by someone.

I know it's the lighter weight of the new stick, but I believe that it's also the tighter stringbed. (As you can see from my sig, I have tried lots of experimentation with lead tape and many thin gauge poly and or hybrid strings.)

Yes, I also know that proper technique will give more spin but I ain't gonna become Nadal overnight--whereas I can get a more open stringbed "overnight."

I'm gonna demo a bunch of 16 X18/19 sticks.
