I have currently been playing the Ncode 6.1 95 and liking it alot. I recently demoed the Fischer M speed Pro one 98 and have made the switch.
The fischer m speed is a very user friendly players racquet, The fischer is a tad lighter, swings very easily has slightly less power than 6.1 95. I used to play poly in my 6.1 95 to bring the power down and never really loved it. With the M speed I use gut to bring the power up and love the feel & playability. The racquets are playing very similiarly now from a power perspective, but the fischer feels better more of the traditional feel "feedback" from fischer wilson just feels solid and muted.
The m speed has a huge sweetspot and is more forgiving. Both racquets spin the ball exceptionally well, the 6.1 has more spin, m speed better control. the m speed flat serve is a little harder, wilson spin & kick a little better. They both volley very well, edge to the 6.1, but i have read here that the m speed does not volley well, this is absolutely not true, enough pop to put away volleys easily and touch volleys are nicer than 6.1 (could be the strings).
from the baseline and ground strokes I give the edge to the m speed in consistency and accuracy, Ncode may hit a slightly bigger ball.
The 16 x 20 pattern is better for string durability on m speed
the butt cap on m speed is a little unusual, but does allow you to better "hang your hand off the end of the butt cap". Some will hate it and replace it, others it will not bother. I am undecided as of yet.
I would recommend the m speed to players who have left the ncode 6.1 95 or hit with it and felt it was too powerful. I feel that they play pretty close to each other, but the m speed has better feel and control.
I tried the original pro one a few years back and it lacked pop, the sweetspot was smaller and the swing weight was low. It was an interesting hit but did not love it. The m speed has improved in every area over the original pro one. I think that most of it is probably due to the swingweight increase and balance, and the magnets (not sure if they do anything) but are at the 3 & 9 positions like the Wilson perimeter weighting and may have really expanded the sweetspot.
If you are in the market for a new racquet, this is a must demo.
Final note the racquet cosmetics have also been upgraded and it is a nice looking nice playing racquet.
