Any longtime 16X19 users switch to 18X20

I been playing tennis for over 20 years and just never thought about or even considered an 18X20 pattern but now may actually prefer it over my usual 16X19's. I just tried a 18X20 for the first time last year with the Blade 93 and am now switching between the Blade 93 and the Pure Strike Tour.

Long time pro staff user, switched about a year and a half ago to the blade 93 2013. Seemed to be everything I was missing in my game, so low powered and gave such accuracy. Than about a year in I stumbled on some PC600s at a good price. They were like the blades on fuel... Best 18x20 I can imagine playing. Hit forehands so hard and accurate. But eventually My PS85 creeped its way back in... now can't play without it. 18x20s I find limited now. Spin access is there but it is not as great. Better spin with the Blade 93.

I typically I find these racquets not as 'even' as the Pro Staffs. Every shot feels predictable with the PS, but the Blade and PC I feel the need for slight adjustments when switching shots. Maybe too used to the PS line with 16x19 / 16x18?

I always dig the versatility of 16x19 but theres something to be said for just going hard north south tennis with 18x20
