searching for something very similar,just with a little bigger sweet spot and about the same amount of spin.any ideas?

exclude blade 98 and babolats - except pure strike

btw..i might stay wirth it too...i do shank some balls,but also no ball that i hit with edge goes out, but it becomes some massive moonball which resets the point hahah....

im loving this racquet...just found out i was wasting time with the light racquets (under 290g unstrung). they really suck at OHB...you can hit a good one but you must really put in so much speed and later the arm can hurt...
its always helpful to have a little mass or? i think i just found the perfect weight for me.. 300-309g unstrung -even or slightly headlight balance.

String your 6-1 with ALU at less than 50# if ya want a larger sweet spot.
Most other sticks of that type, like the Dunlop copies, are similar.
If the stiffness is what's bothering you, there are a few generations and version of the 6-1 that aren't so stiff.

I think OP is talking about 95S with 18x16 string pattern.
i love mine too. Only thing is that I feel like I have to put more effort into my serves for some reason.
i’ve never been a big server so it probably is just me.
otherwise it is really good, I can swing out and every ball lands in with big spin.

that's a tought one to replace!!
most racquets are getting bigger in the head, hard to find a 95" racquet right now
and the string pattern comparison/equivalent is going to be hard to match

a bigger head with a 16/19 string pattern is what I would think youde need to start with ??!!

but a 95" head, with 18/16 pattern is hard to find now
and it needs to be solid, weight wise,,
ill also be interested to see what you find

i changed my mind... I think I will continue to play with it.. Its a damn good racquet, I can bring impossible balls back in. Played today with it again @ 23 kg with RPM Blast.
I was thinking that something like a steam 99s would be similar? but with less power

hands down six.one 95s is one of the few sticks that has such good "direction+spin" control...
its quite comfortable and feels like a weapon

I would not string this racquet higher than 23kg though - thats around 50 lbs.
Try this racquet at 25-27 kg and it is **** - unless you are Terminator.

22-23 is the sweetspot with most synthetic string if you ask me.. I am really impressed.
