So going over TW reviews you rated the Youtex IG Extreme pro 2.0 very high, higher actualy than your current racquet the Wison blade 2013 18 x 20. So what made you favor the Blade. I have played well with both 4.0 but age and injuries catching up, serve big, forehand and forehand volley strong. So as stated father time playing a role and playing mostly doubles what rkt would you suggest. I know demo demo but just curious on your opinion. Thanks in advance

I did love them both. I found the Extreme Pro to be a little more user-friendly, and could work for a wider variety of players. The Blade is a bit more of a "niche-racquet", and I just found that it fit my game style and what I like better.
Like you said, I totally recommend demoing to see which one feels best to you. The Extreme Pro is crisper and livelier feeling, and it's also more forgiving. It offers easier access to power and spin, but a little less control.
The Blade offers a little better feel and response off the stringbed, as I feel more connected to the ball. It offers a crisp, modern feel with a more traditional weight, balance and feel. It's a great mix of old and new in my opinion.
Hope this helps! I think very highly of both frames, and I could easily go play a tournament with either. If you are more of a fan of the traditional player's racquet, go with the Blade. If you like the more modern, forgiving, "Pure Drive-like" racquets, go with the Extreme.
