Racquets similar to K-Blade 98

[myalterego]

Hey guys,

I've been using an Aero Pro Drive Cortex (2009 model) for the past few years and also getting in some use with my K-Blade 98. I recently went back to the K-Blade 98 as my main racquet and I love the control and feel. What are some new models that are similar in control and feel that I should demo?

Thanks!

BLX Blade (gold/black) is fantastic
Head IG Rad Pro has a similar SW but better power, softer feel & more spin
Head Graphene Speed Pro

These are all Very Good alternates to the K-Blade.

I loved the blade on paper. O wanted so badly to like the thing. Did the lead thing...polarized, counterbalanced, went triple pws, did it all. Even did just like a tour guy i know who had blades done in the wilson pro room. Did not love it in real life.

Off center hits expose the blade's twisty quality, and general weak feel. Just not as solid as a 6.1 or a pure control tour/storm tour. But it is quick like a c 10. But it does not have the sweet flex of a prestige or a volkl.

So i switched to a pure strike. Happy with all aspects. It moves like a blade and hits like a pure control tour.

The dunlop 2.0 is good, too.
