Please recommend me a 12 oz racquet

[HomeBrew]

I'm currently using a Wilson BLX blade 98, but I would like something heavier, around 12 ounces and close to evenly balanced. I like the racquet to be stiff, at least as stiff as the blade 98 which is 64, I would like a bit stiffer to be honest, maybe 70 or 75. Any racquets recommended like this?
Thanks so much for any help.

Just add lead to your frame to bring it up to around 12oz. It seems like the easiest solution.

What's your reason for heavier racquet and neutral balance? Most heavy racquets are HL so the added weight is not unwieldy.

To get your racquet to 340g range with 0 HL/HH try adding about 6g to the head at 12oc and 4g to the handle butt. That will increase the weight to 330g and increase the SW quiet a bit. Result, increase power. If OK double and you'll hit 340g range.

Heavier with slightly more power
If you just want heavier racquet I'd recommend doing the opposite 6g butt and 4g head which should make it a touch more HL and 330g static and increase the SW a touch.

or

Stability
6g butt and 8g at 3&6oc - 334g with increase stability and swing weight.

My preference - Heavier and more stable
8g in Butt & 6g at 3&6 if too light increase the weight in butt.

Try this first then increase weight, before purchasing a new racquet.

Prince Response. You might not need it to be head heavy. If you do, put some lead on the head.

You can not find any stock rackets under the spec you like.
You have to customize your racket the way you want.

You are not going to find a 12oz racquet in the RA70's.
Try the Yonex Vocre 97 Tour

Volkl Organix 10 MP 325 I found it played stiffer than its numbers

Last but not least I think you should look into the Technifibre Tfight 325 TP ATP:

You should be using the Wilson BLX 6.1 95

Head IG Prestige Pro or Prestige MP.

You should be using the Wilson BLX 6.1 95

ditto. the newest version is a beautiful frame and an improvement over prior versions. note though that the 18x20 is has very tight spacing and even though i have this version and play with an 18x20 if the 6.1 95 were my main frame i would go with the 16x18.

even though it has a higher static weight it swings easier and has much nicer feel than the blade. it is my favorite wilson

Slazenger pro braided. Prince response looks interesting

 

[hrstrat57]

Lead and leather you"ll b the b's knees!!!

Forgot about the Pro Braided. It is also stiff like the Response but with the lighter weight would give more room for customization.
The original 6.1 95's were heavy (12.7 oz maybe?) and very stiff, but very head light. The Pro Braided is a lighter version of that.

Gamma RZR 100 T, 11.9 oz, 1 pt h/l, 75 RA

Head YOUTEK Speed Pro meets 2 of 3 criteria. It's HL like most of the other 12+ oz racquets.

Dunlop 200 Tour is a fantastic racquet with great plowthrough, good balance, and easy on the arm. Decent spin with 17G or thinner.
