Help me choose...I've demoed all 3 of these, and I enjoy all 3. Which will I definitely not regret getting and why?

Can you describe your style?
Right off the top, I believe you might have some issues with the Pacific if you wish to employ a more modern style. This is presuming that the racquet is at all comparable to the Pro Vacuum 90 - which to me, rendered it more difficult to access spin compared to some other (less modern) classics (such as the Prestige Pros, etc.). I'm actually demoing this particular frame, and hope to be proven wrong as the Fischer was an otherwise stellar frame (and still is if you hit flat and/or use a 1HBH).
I'd love to describe myself as "all court," but in reality, I'm just OK at everything lol. I do hit a with a western grip, but I've use smaller, closed pattern racquets and have had no issue getting spin.
We talked in another thread about my wrist injury, so that's a factor too. The softness of the Vacuum is enticing, but might be very tough to generate spin, so I'm liking the PB10...
Yeah, don't get me wrong - the vacuum is a GREAT racquet, and highly suited for a certain style. But if you're a baseline basher, there are much better options. I actually sold off two of the original Fischer Fishnets in new condition for the simple fact that it never suited my game.
The PB10 is a very nice stick as well, although I recall not being amazed with it during my demo and leaving with the impression that the C10 was "better" to me. I know you want a mid-size frame, but if you are after easily available softness, you really owe it to yourself to check out the new Radical Pro....

I've enjoyed radicals in the past...but I always wished they were a bit more headlight. I suppose I could tailweight though. 2-3 pts HL is very low though...
The answer to 90% of the questions in this forum is "whatever is good for you"...I'm wanting to hear OTHER views, rather than being told to go with my own lol
I notice that the Organix 10 Mid was not listed in your poll. Sounds like that may be a winner as well.
If you get a radical, I'm sure you'll want to add silicone to handle. This is what Head does with nearly all of its pro stock frames, and I'd venture to say a large part as to why these frames are purported to have better feel. So, in a way, it'll be a win-win for you.
Just wanted to add, I did a mini review of the Blade 93 Black, and that frame is money. Hits so amazingly well, I just wish I was good enough to play with mids full time! :razz:

I'm just worried about the stiffness...
Best new mid-size to pick up?
If you can still find a Dunlop 4D 100, go for it. Should suit your style well. Lighter, open pattern and soft.
The Redondo mid may be an old frame by now, since you're asking for a new mid size. It's an arm saver, and a 'duck' -- can do everything well but doesn't excel at anything particular. Everything depends on you.
