Which out of the new wilson six.one BLX pro staff is the best our of these 3 racket? 90, 95, 100.

I think the 90 feel the best to me. i didn't like the 95. I never try the 100 but maybe i'd like that one. not sure. What about everyone else?
 
The 90 is a great frame only if you are really on top of your game, and really watching the ball. The 95 has a good amount of space for you to customize. it's too light for me but i am leading it up and hope to hit with it more soon.
 
For me, definitely the 90; its not just the weight, but also (to me) the flex, balance and feel are just better compared to the other 2.
 
The BLX90 (and its various incarnations) is one of the all time great racquets. It just feels superb in terms of the way it swings, its solidity, its plow, its precision, its feel, its targeting etc. It's a God stick.

The problem is, you have to be God like to use it. Fine at lower levels, where the players you meet, and the balls you get, aren't going to be anything to trouble you, but as you go up the levels, you'll find that 90sq" a disadvantage.
 
I am thinking about the Prostaff 95, heard it was very maneuverable and amazing control. but some extra weight would be nice IMO.
 
The 95 with some added weight feels very good. I have 2 overgrips and a couple of grams of lead at 3&9. It's currently at about 345 grams and 7 pts HL. It's not the most powerful frame though, so against hard hitters I suspect it could do with some more lead even higher up in the hoop.
 
I think the 100 is great if you like 100's. I had been using an Aeropro but switched to the PS 6.1 100. It is more solid feeling and has much better control. I can still get almost the same spin as the APD but can flatten it out better when needed. I also find that the Wilson is better for serving.

What has helped my game the most is that, when I pull someone wide, I feel as if I can flatten out the ball and hit hard to either corner with good accuracy. I couldn't do that with the Aeropro.
