Tried it, didn't like it! Not a fan of the Textreme feel, for the most part.

Good point. That was the GOAT Blade.

Wilson Ultra Tour has a pure raw feel with a great feedback and the sweetspot is just addictive! The UT is just like a bigger Angell TC95 18x20 63RA in my opinion and not the TC97 18x20.
Though the TC97 18x20 felt a bit too firm/stiff to me it is still a very good 18x20 frame to consider as well.
Angell K7 Lime is another very nice 18x20 frame that has a more muted feel like the Völkl C10 Pro.

Actually the Volkl C10 Pro is a 98" frame with a 16x19 string pattern, but it doesn't behave too much like some other frames with that layout. It's not super-spin happy, but very arm-friendly for me when strung with syn. gut and it also gives me more potential to hit (and serve) with power than any other frames in my collection. Sort of an old-school personality in the form of a more modern 98" racquet.
So there's that.

i can personally vouch for the Speed Pro 360
have also heard amazing things about the new Gravity
Head is next level at the moment

I dunno. It sounds to me like they're trying to go back to their roots, but Wilson and Yonex already upped their game big time.
Something to look at is how much discussion there is on the Gravity line compared to the threads for the new Blade and the Vcore 97HD.

ever since I found out about Wilson's QC I've looked at them with a sceptical eye
not to say their rackets suck but I'm just ready to give some other racket producers a chance and Head have been a home run for me
I've yet to try a Yonex players racket
I had an Ezone years ago but that was a WTA stick with 0 stability and plowthrough, not a nice racket to hit with
the VcorePro line looks sick though, in Stanimal we believe!

Wilson Blade 18x20
Well you are in luck bc some high quality sticks launched this summer. Vcp hd, v7 blade, gravity pro, gravity tour, tf40... i am pretty much obssessed with the v7. Very generous sweetspot.. lot of power, great control.. and spin. All these are about 325-335 SW..

Head Speed Pro is an 18x20 but it's not an incredibly dense pattern. May be worth a try.

I'm coming from playing with the PT280. Haha. I was full on hyped about the 97HD because the specs were sooo dang similar but the Blade v7 stole the show (my heart).
