K 6.1 95 16X18 Versus 18X20

Hi K 6.1 Team Users:
I'm just wondering if you have noticed increased spin with the 16X18 versus the 18X20. I just bought an 18X20 and I love it, but I noticed that my spin speed has decreased. I'm thinking about buying the exact same racquet except a 16X18, and then using it when I want more spin. Have any of you tried both and noticed a difference? Thanks

I have tried both in the BLX version(which i suggest over the K) and i found no drop off in spin potential w the 18x20 string pattern. But it mostly depends on technique. I am getting a Blx six.one 95 18x20 in Aug. and chose the tighter string pattern because of the added control on serve, and the 16x18 was much less reliable at net.

It's true there is a massive amount of difference in spin potential, but if you got the tecnique, strokes, and shot selection then it makes up for it with the 18x20. I hit big flat shots as well as ripping topspin with my KBT and I just find that using a more open string pattern really doesn't suit my game all to much.
