how does the 6.1 95 play like? I have been using the PS6.1 classic and demoed the PS97. My PS6.1 c is a little heavy but I am still recovering from GE. The PS97 was quick, somewhat powerfull but doesn't have the heft and plow of the PS6.1 c.
I plan to use a gut hybrid strung about 60/55. Lower tension seems to have me sailing balls long. I am an all- court player at 4.5 level.

How does the 6.1 play compared to the PS6.1 classic and the PS97? I am playing with the PS6.1 c and have demoed the PS97. The PS6.1 c is just a little heavy for me (still getting over GE) but I love its plow and great volleys. The PS97 has good power and is quick- I liked playing with it, but feel it's a little light.
I plan to use a gut hybrid at 60/55. With a lower tension I will sail balls long. I am an all-court player at 4.5level. Let me know what string setup you recommend.

Is your Classic 16x18 and you are asking about the Six.One 18x20 currently offered on TW?

Much more control than the 97, and much more stable. I liked the 97 enough to get a few, partly because the 6.1 went out of production and partly because I wanted something lighter. It plays incredibly well with fresh strings, but I would lose all control when tension dropped. It also ripped through strings, at least for me. One time I ripped through a full bed of ALU in 45 minutes. I thought something was off and got my racquet restrung with my normal ALU syngut hybrid -- ripped through that in 45 minutes the next day too.
The 18x20 6.1 is much more durable

All 6.1s are variations on a theme: baseball bat
Just got hold of two Prestige IG MP's. A doubles player like you. Great feeling frame and hits a great serve and volley. Also one of the best slicing rackets you can hit. I have an Angell too but the 16x19. Feel is great but like the Prestige just as much. Might be a budget option for you. Needs leather and lead at 3/9. Have customised mine by weighing the stock grip and the leather replacement then adding the difference in lead at 3/9. Enough power and not too heavy at 353g strung.

The IG Prestige MP is really awesome for volleys.
It certainly is. Such a nice feel off the sweet spot. All I added was a leather grip as I have run out of lead tape and the frame felt so fast and maneuverable. A bit too fast off the ground in fact but awesome up at net. Made some volleys that I wouldn't have with a different frame. Will add in the 6g of lead when my roll arrives and see how it plays then.

Funny. That's how I feel about "stock" Angell TC97 18x20 320g/310mm.
I just bought two of the magic sticks- My apologies for doubting you.

Yes, that's the idea!
IG Prestige MP plays & feels as same as Angell TC97 18x20, with the 1/3 of the money (plus few bucks for a little lead)!!!
