BLX Blade 98 - Similar Racquets?

[TripleB]

I tried the Wilson KBlade 98 a couple times and have tried the BLX Blade 98 once. For some reason I keep coming back to this line of racquets. I'm not sure if it's the solid feel, the putaway power, or the fact that I can get so much spin from 18 mains (which are pretty open for 18 mains).

Anyway, I'm getting ready to order another set of demo racquets. I'm going to try the BLX Blade 98 again, a racquet similar to the '12 Pure Drive Roddick (still trying to pick that one), and then two others that are similar to the BLX Blade 98.

What two racquets would you say are similar to the Wilson BLX Blade 98? {it doesn't have to be 18 mains, probably better if it has 16 mains...haven't seen an 18x20 as open as the BLX Blade 98 and I rely heavily on spin}

Thank you for your help.

I really enjoyed my blx 98. Seriously, it's so cheap now that I got mine off the bay for only $65. It might be worth it to just grab one there and save the money on demos. I use it for my doubles stick. And also singles too if my other default racquets are out.

With a slight increase in weight and a 16x19 pattern I thought the donnay pro one 97 played very much like the Blx blade but with more plow through and higher net clearance. Both very good sticks and I think the only part that the blade was better was at net due to maneurability
