Looking for a New Racquet need some help

Seems like the head light balance of the 315g would fit me better but swingweight and sweet zone appears to be bigger on the racquet comparison tool

Honestly, you can safely ignore those sweet zone numbers. They do not match what players experience and report.

So something like this for the frames i picked out.

Babolat Pure Aero 98 56/52lbs

Diadem Elevate 98 V3 55/51lbs

Nordicdots Model 99 54/50lbs

Yonex Vcore 95 53/49lbs

Angell K Seven 98 53/49lbs

Wilson Shift 99 56/52lbs

Babolat Pure Strike 100 16x20 57/53

Babolat Pure Strike 97 54/50lbs
The tension will depend greatly on string selection(s)

It wasn't like an injury it just felt uncomfortable which sucks because specs wise the blade should be up my alley but its just uncomfortable around my elbow.

I've tried the clash and didn't like it. I may have said that earlier on this thread can't remember
Add some weight to handle and 10/2 and use a softer string with the blade.

I'm an all court aggressive style player with one handed backhand with eastern grip and strong eastern forehand. I like to attack as soon as the point begins. I'm relatively a flatter hitter but can add spin for those angle fh & bh.

You just described my exact playstyle. Blade 98 18x20 IMO

Or if it has to be on your list go with Wilson Shift.

Well, none of those really have the same characteristics as the VCT89.

I can tell you I've been rotating between my Blade Pro 16x19 and a VCT89 and K90 that I have on an extended demo. It's pretty easy to switch between the Blade Pro and the VCT89. The VCT is a little more suited to flatter hitting IMHO and you can get those laser precise shots with it where I go for more spin with my BP.

I do think the Blade Pro could be a really good option for you even if it isn't the 16x20 pattern.
I would recommend
Angell custom 95 v5 16x19
Angell react pro18x20

hey guys the heater will be fixed next week ill try to resume by search of a new racquet around then if i can book a court

my list of racquets has changed slightly

diadem elevate 98 V3

nordicdots model 99

tecnifibre TF40 315 16x19

tecnifibre Tfight 315S 2025

yonex vcore 95

wilson shift 99
pure aero 98
yonex percept 97

i plan to try them all out soon i currently have the first 5 and will grab the others later. ive have already tried both blades and they just dont't work for me as for angell racquets ive decided to stay away from them given they have a very strict return policy. and i think i would probably try to go to my current weight of 365 g or close to it as possible. unless they make a 16x20 string pattern in the customs line.

also i still have 6 of vct 89 never been strung brand new if anyone is interested.
