For Troy L, 18x20 racquet user question

[JamesV]

Dear Troy,

You are the resident conisseur of 18x20 racquets. I prefer them too. I have a pure strike 1st Gen 18x20, a 2015 blade 98 18x20, and a youtek graphene speed pro 18x20. I had a textreme tour 100p, but I felt it played more like a 16x19 than an 18x20, so I sold it. I was also not fond of the blade 18x20 countervail.

I'm looking at Wilson six one 18x20s now, because I like the idea of a 95-inch 18x20, but there are so many years and versions. What year/version six one 18x20 do you like the best? Which would you recommend?

Also, what is your favorite 18x20 of all time?

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Sincerely,
James

I know you're not asking me, but I'm a fan of the BLX Six.One 95 the most, probably the k factor one second.

A newer 95" 18x20 you might want to check out is the Dunlop CX 200 Tour 18x20. That my current racquet of choice, but with weight added.

I’m not sure how it works, but I think there’s a higher chance of your question getting to Troy if you tag @TW Staff (-:

2017 6.1 18x20 Re-issue. Have three and they are great frames. String them at 45-46lbs with full poly and they are business.

Tried the cx and didn't like it. Didn't like the cx 200, either. Both felt what I'd call "tinny." Glad yours is good for you. Everyone's different. TW playtesters love the cx 200+.
