Legend of Borg
G.O.A.T.
i've been playing with the Wilson BLX Six-One 95 for about 5 years now
until recently i thought of it as the holy grail in the tennis world (probably just too much TV advertising getting to me)
long story short, i had to demo my dad's 100 sq. inch K-factor Endure for a few days while waiting for my racket to get restrung and basically discovered how much the Six-One was actually holding me back (or at least i perceive it was holding me back)
with the bigger frame hitting deeper penetrating shots was easier, less effort on my part and also gave me more confidence when transitioning to the net to put away volleys
i went back to the Six-One today and to be completely frank, it felt like complete and utter dog crap
more effort to hit deeper penetrating shots, less confidence on groundies and volleys because this racket does NOT forgive mishits
do you think this is a wake up call for a bigger more forgiving racket or is it just about using the right string/tension on my Six-One to compensate for the lack of power?
thanks
