I'll get the ball rolling
Wilson BLX Pro Staff 2 95 - 16 x 19 (4 1/2)
- Silicone added to handle
- 12.1oz strung weight - 320 SW
- 10 pts Headlight
Comments: Before the silicone was added, the racquet felt like it needed some lead but I didn't want to disrupt the balance. I have always played with Wilsons and preferred their headlight balance and weight.
The silicone gives a dampened, softer feel which also helps with the stiffness and plasticity of the original set up while giving enough weight to the shot without affecting the spin.
The process of adding silicone was very easy.
1) Remove butt cap, use a very long screwdriver to scrape out foam
2) I wasn't sure whether there was a channel through the entire racquet, but for good measure I added a cotton ball into each chamber in the racquet handle
3) Add silicone (regular store-bought) until it fills up to the just beneath the level of the handle bevel cover.
4) Let dry
