Powerful 18x20 racquets?

Tfight 305 iso. High SW, power and stability, precision, control, spin and feel + arm comfort. All there. This combination is unique. Try it, its a pro stock like racket. Hopefully you get one near spec, otherwise it could be to demanding.

It's a 18x19 however

It doesnt matter. You have enough precision and ball trajectory isbonbthe lower side, it can be fine tuned by strings. But you gain power and spin with this 18x19.

How did these demos turn out for you? What racket did you end up with?

Ended up getting the Percept 100D but it cracked on me so switched to the Ezone 98 with lead at 3 & 9. I think I still prefer the groundies from the blade at how precise and heavy I can hit with it consistently. The Ezone has a lot of free power but i find myself slapping a lot more and the contact isnt as clean. It does volley much better than the blade for reaction and touch volleys tho but the blade does a lot better at the serve and volley/1st volley.

Thanks for the info.

How did the whiteout stack up?

That's unfortunate. I've heard that happening to a handful of people, but thankfully mine is still in good shape, I love the 100D.

Angell TC97 18x20 may be exactly what you're looking for. Has more than enough power when I string it with thin poly in the mid 40s

Almost every racquet strung in the mid 40's with a thin poly will offer power.

Power's all relative, but power still comes much more from the frame than string tension. String tension affects feel and launch angle more than power assuming your string tension is within a reasonable range to begin with.

The Head PT 2.0 had surprisingly high power. I uncapped mine then used lead to tweak the swing weight. I was pretty shocked by the power of that set up.

I think the tecnifibre tf40 18m has more power than the blade, especially at lower tensions and maybe adding a multi or gut for mains. Good swing weight too.
