I have demo'd the new PS16x19 as well as the new PS100. Like both the racquets very much but don't want to pay the $200+ price tag. How will the older black/coral PS16x19 compare? Can't find one to demo. Thanks!

I think you are better off getting the new one, much better than the old version. The new one is more substantial frame? The older one quite harsh and not much grunt.

There's various threads on this topic. I suggest doing a search.

Having played with both, they new one has a much different feel (very muted) and plays stiffer. This wasn't just a cosmetic or minor update.

I have tried searching but perhaps I don't do it right. All I get is a bunch of replies in the main PS17 thread.

I personally thought that the old one got pushed around a lot more than other frames released at the time with similar specs. It was probably my least favorite stick I demoed, back then. I think the new one is much more solid.
