Six One Team Vs Six One 95 BLX

[ThomasGB]

How well does the Six One Team (16x18) play compared to the BLX (16x18)?
The major difference is weight, but I want to know if this really makes a difference.

16 x 18 versions.

If you're talking about the amplifeel version, the Team is much more comfortable (flexier), lighter, more whippy, but still solid. I played with both and prefer the Team. Much easier to play with and to control.

Dondiego is right. What model of the 95 you talking about? 2011, 2012,2013,2014???
For me personally love the 2012 six.one team

I played with the 2012 BLX six.one 95 16 x 18. It was solid and nice to hit with. But I like to customize all my racquets. And that made the racquet too heavy for me went into 13.5 oz range lol

When I tried out the team with the open pattern. It felt whippey but that's normal for a 10.4 oz frame but after customizing it to my liking it was AMAZING plus I love the comfort you get. My arm feels so nice after hitting.

The Team is probably the most arm-friendly racket among light sticks.

I like the 16x18 (2012) too but I'm lucky enough to have the 18x20 pattern here in Canada. It offers a bit more control without sacrificing much power nor net clearance. The strings spacing is rather large for a 18x20, which I like.

It's a great racket if you like the 6.1 95 but find it a bit heavy and over-powered, and a bit too stiff when strung with a poly.

Edit: I should mention that I also customize the Team, with around 15g in the handle to make it more headlight.

When customized properly, I find it to be a more user-friendly Prestige MP. By that I mean it has the same low-power and control features, but with a different feel of course.

the team is a underrated racket that has a lot potential behind it. being the most comfortable frame to hit with right in stock, into something that can be customized into your spec range whenever you feel like upgrading the Team into something i would like to dub it like : Six.One 95 Team -> Six.One 95 Tour.
