I've used the BLX 6.1 95 16x18 and 18x20 for awhile after switching from my IG Prestige MP. There's not a lot of similarity between the two. Different head shapes, weight, string pattern, etc. the 6.1 felt a little more hollow than the Prestige, but the Prestige felt whippier and more solid on impact. I actually prefer the 16x18 on volleys, but the Prestige on serves. The Pure Strike Tour would be similar to the 6.1 18x20 since it is heavier than the Prestige but lighter than the 6.1. I've tried the Graph. Speed Pro 18x20 but I haven't come to terms with it. Feels to head heavy and I had a very hard time serving with it. The most arm friendly one of the bunch was the Pure Strike Tour. My elbow pain (from the 6.1s and the Prestige) actually went down. Oddly therapeutic racquet.

I think op played with PS6.1
And you played with 6.1
Those two are different racquets.

Yep played with the PS6.1. Anyone else played with the racquets that I mentioned?

Yup I've played with all racquets mentioned. The only racquet (of those you mentioned) that is remotely similar is the IG Prestige MP. The Graphene Prestige is very different, as are the Speeds.

The Tecnifibre T-Fight 315 Limited 16 Mains is quite similar, as well as the Pacific X-Feel Pro 95; also the Volkl Powerbridge 10 Mid/Organix 10 Mid (though these are much more powerful). Furthermore, the Donnay X-Red 94 is a similar racquet (though very rare and expensive unfortunately) along with the X-Dual Gold 94.

S2W nailed it. Very few rackets feel and play like the prostaff 95. Super low powered...organix 9 maybe

I've also played with the 315 Ltd/16 and the PS95 6.1. They are indeed similar but the 315 felt a little more spin friendly and provided more pop and power. The PS95 6.1 feels lower powered and more accurate. Much better feel too. I've never been very good at or fond of lobs but with the PS 95 6.1 I feel like I can place them with great accuracy.

Both are excellent frames and both need some lead in the upper hoop for useful plow and stability.
