TW doesn't seem to be answering any questions at the moment so I thought I'd see what everyone else thought of this. The regular Blade is said to have a "low to medium" power level. And the Blade Pro is said to have a "low" power level. But wait.... the Pro version has the same static weight and basically the same stiffness, and has a much higher swingweight and a thicker beam. So how is it that they are saying that the regular version can produce more power? Doesn't make any sense to me. And I don't want to hear anyone say that it's because you can swing the regular version faster and achieve more racket head speed therefore able to produce more power. That would be something you could tell a 10 year old. But not a big strong athletically inclined grown man. Any thoughts?
