First hit/review! Pro Staff Six.One 90 BLX :)

[RyKnocks]

Thanks for the review, always exciting to see new racquets to come out.

As for the wrist bands, you guys are taking this stuff way too far. There's no right or wrong way to wear a wrist band. You wear it and use it however you see fit. It's just as crazy as saying only pros can wear headbands or bandanas, as if there's some rite of passage to wearing accessories like that...geeze..

Keeping things off topic here:


I agree with previous people. I'm only a happy amateur, well hobbyist really, and I feel very stupid and conspicuous when I show up in wristbands, tennis shoes and an expensive racket.

It's simple reasoning:
The wristbands are because I sweat like a wildebeest at Sunny Beach;
the shoes are because running shoes aren't durable and stable enough, so they become very expensive, and my feet take a bad punishment in runners;
the racket is (at least partly) to have fewer excuses for my bad playing

But the point is, my gear is tennis dedicated and quite expensive, and so it suggests that I should rule the court, but I deliver first class mediocrity at best. Therefore I feel stupid.

Being Swedish, I briefly considered getting a Björn Borg style headband as well, but I think my friends would have killed me with laughter then, so to keep things at level, I use a cap from the local ditch digging firm instead: Larsson's Digging and Bulldozing

Agreed. I try to keep things within my play level. I would wear running shoes like when i first started playing but someone bought me barricade 5's that i played until there were huge holes on both of my shoes. I use my Bass Pro Shops hat =P

 

[DeShaun]

I'd love to get one of those, man. That's a decent looking racket. Thanks for sharing the pics. Interesting to hear your thoughts, too, that it plays not a crisp as the model from a few years ago, nor as gummi beary as last year's model.

 

[jackcrawford]

I wear the sweatband on the left arm too. I don't like the constriction on my playing arm.

Can't be, BP says he and everybody else but the OP wear it on their playing arm

 

[Say Chi Sin Lo]

I can care less about what the pros wear and how they wear it. They can wear wristbands on their calves and I wouldn't care. Why does it matter how I wear them. For my next experiment, I shall wear a headband on my neck and see who's going to talk about it.

Guys, if I wanted to talk about wristbands and whatnot, I'd make a thread about it. And obviously I haven't right?

I don't like constriction anywhere. Not even having my ankles taped if I ever roll them. I hate using my shirt/sleeves to wipe sweat off of my face. With the wristband, I'll make a compromise and put it on my non-playing arm because I do need to wipe the sweat off of my face.

I don't know why my arms/legs don't sweat as much (again, why does it matter?).

 

[BreakPoint]

You're not making much sense here BP (as usual)... If Tsonga uses a two-hander, he shouldn't need the wristband on his left hand, since the right hand in a two-hander is the stablizer and the left-hand is the forward momentum producer.

And for Blake, he has a two-hander, and according to you, he doesn't need to wipe his face because of his headband. His face doesn't sweat? He doesn't use his left hand since he hits a one-hander, so that can't be it... Explain please?

Nothing to explain. The pics I posted explain everything. Both Blake and Tsonga wear wristbands on BOTH wrists because their arms sweat a lot.

 

[Jonny S&V]

Yes, but they also both only wear ONE at times. Eh, eh?

 

[Bobby Jr]

I've gotten so used to wearing a wristband on my playing arm .... And, yes, it does feel as if it gives me a bit of support, too.

Ditto. I wear them now because I'm used to it. I'm also always struggling to find ones which are the right tightness... many sweatbands are too tight imo. The plain cheap ones from TW have given the best result in that area as of late.

 

[aimr75]

I can care less about what the pros wear and how they wear it

Your black vapors with white socks under your black looks familiar

 

[BreakPoint]

Yes, but they also both only wear ONE at times. Eh, eh?

I told you. That's when they forgot to throw a second wristband into their bags. ;-)

 

[dParis]

Because I like using my left hand to wipe the sweat?

And I don't like things/wraps on my playing arm/hand.

+1 on the left (off hand) wristband only. I tried them on both wrists but I didn't like the constrictive feeling either. Plus, the weight slows me down and messes with the swingweight.

Yes, a thicker double-wide to wipe my face and brow and on occasion - a very hot and humid occasion - I will wear a smaller, thinner one on my right wrist to keep the hand dry.

I played a guy who kept a towel in the fence on each end of the court. It began to annoy me, him going for the towel after every point. I wanted to offer him one of my wristbands. But by the end of the match, I was really appreciating the extra time to catch my breath as he was towelling off.

 

[martini1]

How would you compare the feel to a KPS88?Some of us hadn't the luck of playing with what many call the 'best stick from the six.one line'

The KPS88 obviously feels better, and closer to the PS6.0 85. It is not my main stick because of the high sw. Not quick enough in some situations but awesome in serve and return.

 

[martini1]

I've gotten so used to wearing a wristband on my playing arm that I can't play without one anymore as it makes me feel "naked" without it. And, yes, it does feel as if it gives me a bit of support, too.

If you don't sweat on your arms, why would you sweat elsewhere so why would you need wristbands at all? When I towel off at the changeovers, I wipe off both of my arms as well as my face.

Other than the support, I also sweat a lot on my face area. The head band is not enough to keep my face dry. So I need to wipe my face every now and then. I suppose you can just use towels, but I don't play matches all the time and the changeover is not frequent. I know some people like to hang a towel on the fence but I can't stand the dirty fences!

 

[Stevo Karlovic]

Yup, the reason why I (and everyone else) wears wristbands is to help maintain my grip on the racquet when I'm playing and sweating so my playing hand stays drier. Otherwise I wouldn't bother with them.

Not everyone else dude. Wristbands are also intended for wiping away sweat on your face. Pretty lame that you would pick up on just that in the pictures and decide to break balls about it. Get a life pal.

 

[Say Chi Sin Lo]

Your black vapors with white socks under your black looks familiar

Haha, you got me there. I do wear two pairs of socks. And the black over white thing, that's just pretty .

 

[Say Chi Sin Lo]

What felt like eons ago, I did demo the KPS88 from TW, and their "fabulous" stringing.

What I didn't like about the KPS88 the most was the sheer power of that frame! I have always thought the KPS88 was a Tour 90 on steroids. PS-BLX90, like the rest of the Tour 90's is low power to begin with. So if I have to make a comparison as to what stood out the most, KPS88 definitely had more power than the PS-BLX90. I will say this though, KPS88 was a great serving racquet because it had more mass in the loop. But I prefer the more headlight whippy-ness of the Tour 90's.

I can't comment on the feel of the KPS88 because it was such a long time ago. I just remember it was a bazooka.

Which one is the "what many call the 'best stick from the six.one line'"? Haha

It is not really a bazooka if you learn how to control it. It has a lot of power potential, but controlled power. It is not like many oversize sticks that just bounce the ball back with little control. You can hit flat with the KPS88 no other power stick can.

Agreed with the controlling, but I really didn't care for the KPS88 and how it played.

Also, when I demo-ed it, I was still using my PC600 and I had no intention to switch whatsoever. I only demo-ed it for kicks and giggles. Maybe that's why I didn't like it that much.

That's what headbands and towels are for....um....pal.

I'm not going to wear headbands, period.

I'm also not going to walk back and forth to my towel after each point.

Fedace is just fooling around - I think the poster you quoted is, unfortunately, being serious with this and other outrageous comments:shock:

 

[davedomart]

I wear a wristband on my non dominant hand(left) to wipe away the sweat on my face, my arms don't sweat. I don't wear a Headband because I like caps and because some of the sweat comes from my cheeks, not my hair. Also, you have to carry a towel around, with a wristband you just wear it. The reason I wear it on my left hand is because it's too cumbersome on my right.

 

[Say Chi Sin Lo]

You're all idiots. Thank you BreakPoint for ruining what was supposed to be a discussion of the Pro Staff Six.One 90 BLX, and all the other idiots for arguing about sweat and wristbands. Obviously, this thread has already lost its purpose.

Why you fools dwell on wristbands, headbands, who sweats where and etc. is beyond me. How myself and others wear the accessories is none of your business. It may look weird to some people but they must have a reason for it. (I don't know why guys still wear stunna shades when it's raining outside while driving.)

Either talk about the new frame and how it plays/compared to so-and-so, like the good half of these people try to do. Or, make a thread in the apparel section for wristbands and headbands, and then make a thread in the health section for who sweats where and why.

Finally, go f*** yourselves until you sweat in odd places.

I only use one to wipe sweat off my face . My hands sweat regardless.

OK, let's get back on track about the raqcquet. I apologize for starting the discussion about wristbands. It's just that I've never seen anyone wear one only on their non-racquet wrist before. :shock:

So, anyway, it sounds like you think the new PS Six-One 90 BLX is basically the same racquet as the BLX90, right? So if you like the BLX90, you're most likely going to like the PS90BLX, right? And likewise, if you're satisfied with the BLX90, then there's not much reason to switch, right? Would you recommend current K90 users to switch to the new PS 90BLX?

I don't recommend anyone to switch to anything. It's not my place to say what people should play with. I myself have an odd taste, haha.

I've never hit with the N90, so I have nothing to say about it.
If you like a buttery smooth, gummy bear sensation on impact, you may like the BLX90.
If you like a crisp and raw metal pipe sensation on impact, you may like the K90.
If you like something in-between, crisp, but much closer to buttery smooth sensation, you may like PS-BLX90.

As a BLX90 user myself, I saw no reason to change to the PS-BLX90. I think it's prettier. But playing wise, there's not enough of a difference to change. It's crisper, but not by much. Like I said, if you spray paint them both in the same color, I don't think I can tell the two apart.

K90 users, perhaps? People always complaining about how raw and harsh the K90 was, yet they don't like the gummy sensation of the BLX90. PS-BLX90 reminds me of the K90 with some of its crispness, but none of its metal pipe/jarring sensation. Besides, it's just as pretty as the K90 .

LOL. Well said. I really couldn't agree more with what you're saying. People could wear a wrist band on their c*** as far as I'm concerned, but why there needs to be debate about this (or any debate/argument at all) in a thread about a particular racquet is beyond me.

BTW, Breakpoint is the son of Fedace, so you can't expect much in terms of high IQ posts.....

Thanks for the feedback. I'll probably still hit with the PS90BLX when it comes out just out of curiosity, but based on your review, I doubt I'll switch from my K90.

Oh, BTW, I've never felt the K90 feels like a "metal pipe". I think it feels very sweet, not as sweet as the PS 6.0 85/95 but very close. Maybe it was the strings that were in the K90 that you hit with that made it feel like a metal pipe?

Possibly, but when I demo-ed the K90 and BLX90, they both had $3 synthetic gut. BLX90 was definitely softer and pocketed the ball better.

 

[b.termite]

Say Chi Sin Lo, do you have any idea when this racquet will be available to buy? I am sponsored by Wilson, and often can get things quite early before they come out; however, it is not yet available to me. Any ideas?
Also, I currently play with the BLX Six One Tour, and love the racquet. I have never hit with either the K or N 90, but am interested in this racquet simply for the novelty/paintjob. You said you would have troubles telling the difference between the two, do you happen to know if the specs are any different than the original Pro Staff?
Thanks, great pictures and thread by the way.

I know as much as you do about the release. I'm hearing right around the Australian Open from the interwebs.

If you meant the Pro Staff 6.0 Original, yes, the specs are different of course. But if you meant with the current BLX90, I did look at the printed specs on the inside of the throat and the specs are identical to the BLX90.

Okay numbnuts, I was getting your back, but whatever. The reason why I think its funny to get off task is because you think that you are the first person in the world to demo the PS90. I've been hitting with the PS90, PS95, and PS100 for three weeks now and its pretty clear that these racquets aren't going to have a general consensus assessment done unto them, as was Wilson's intentions with all ProStaffs dating back to the early 90's. They are meant for personal feel upon modification, hence the unspecific weight and balance jived with stiffness and beam width. Now let us get back to the wristbands!!!! Vamos wristband arguments!!! Ole! Or shall I say, hengbokhaseyo!!

like seriously this is what it comes down to.... sweating... and if you have been using the racquets why dont you share with us, like this gentleman did. he even took real pictures for godsakes....

@scsl how does it feel, between the kfactor, more specifically what gets to your elbow thats why i dipped back to ncode version but i was hoping that the elbow friendliness comes back in to this version like the other prostaffs...

I don't know if I can answer that for you, because I have zero elbow issues. So me going with the BLX90 is simply because I like the way it plays more than the K90. Not because the BLX90 was more arm-friendly and all that jazz.

I think elbow friendliness has more to do with the era in which the Pro Staffs were prominent. I think back in the days, a lot more emphasis was placed on technique, timing, footwork, drawing power from the core, and finally, a proper stroke. Now, I think there's more emphasis on power and explosiveness, and worry about the proper stroke later. Which I think makes the player to be injury prone. Power and explosiveness should be the result of a properly stroked ball.

I don't think frames give people tennis elbows. I think people give themselves tennis elbows.

 

[BreakPoint]

I don't think frames give people tennis elbows. I think people give themselves tennis elbows.

People give themselves tennis elbow by using the wrong frame, so yes, frames do give people tennis elbow.

 

[mromato64]

Maybe this amplifeel bs lessens the dullness of the blx and makes it crisper fo the blxps90 so that it will appeal to k90 users who still have elbow or arm problems, but don't want to lose that crisp feeling.

 

[Lambsscroll]

I don't think frames give people tennis elbows. I think people give themselves tennis elbows.

Thats like saying constant vibration to ones arm will never cause arm problems.

 

[martini1]

The 90 frames are one of the most arm friendly frames out there. The string bed is tight and does not move like larger frames. There is also plenty of mass (and mostly soft graphite) to absorb the vibrations. The low power nature of these frames, and again the mass limits those over the top swing speed, especially those with a swinging elbow.

You can still get tennis elbow if you don't know what you are doing. But getting it from the tour 90 is far less often that from a stiff, light mp or os frame.

 

[movdqa]

I went to the K90 from the PK Redondo many years ago and the K90 seemed a lot less arm friendly compared to the Redondo. I found the KPS88 better than the K90 because of the additional mass. I'm using the TKG238.4 XLs right now as they play soft when you lead them up, I get the 95 sq inches and XL length which helps out a little at my age.

 

[Say Chi Sin Lo]

Thats like saying constant vibration to ones arm will never cause arm problems.

Then don't play tennis, because you're going to get significant vibration from any frame.

I used to play at 70lbs on $3 synthetic gut, no elbow issues.

 

[sureshs]

BTW, Breakpoint is the son of Fedace

Hmm.............

 

[sureshs]

People give themselves tennis elbow by using the wrong frame, so yes, frames do give people tennis elbow.

It is mostly due to bad technique (especially wrong grip). I have played with frames which have ranged from 13 oz to 11 oz in strung weight and never had a problem, once I fixed my technique. It is true that heavy frames can cause other problems, like wrist and shoulder pain if your body structure is not strong enough.

Sure, you can get tennis elbow from using the wrong technique regardless of the racquet that you're using. But you can also have perfect technique and get tennis elbow if you use the wrong racquet.

Try that with a full bed of poly strings and see what happens.

well i see where your coming from, i really feel that a racquet like babolat apdgt is less arm friendly, then a sixone tour. yes the significant vibration is there in every racquet, but really saying that if you strung the blxps 90 with say a soft poly would you be able to feel less vibrations in your elbow or more.

and as for the elbow issues doing kick serves with the blade threw my elbow out so since then i have been very careful cause it was not a fun experience. so i dont have a tennis elbow but i try and be careful now after the event.
