Can you swing a heavy racket fast, for a long time? I can't. So 6.1 95 is great for the first 30 minutes, then I am late to everything.
APD is the stiffest listed here, so would have the most power.
"effortless" is different for different peeps.

How about APD 2013 compare to Graphene xt instinct mp?

Fat beam and 2 pts more stiffness points to any APD being more powerful than almost every instinct.

Guess we shouldn't count the TI-5-6 series, black and silver, stiffness ratings in the 74+ range, and most around 110 or bigger.

I think I'm one of the only people who hit a 6.1 95 and really, really, didn't like it.

Normally I find Wilson to be very consistent in producing frames that are comfortable, precise, and mildly powerful. The 6.1 just didn't do it for me. I felt like it had no control and I was swinging my damn arms off just to have any chance of putting life into the ball. Serves felt swinging a fat piece of wood.

Surprised to hear that (especially for the serve part). What string(s) did you use?

It was a demo, so I didn't get a choice. Believe it was Spiky Shark 16 yellow, strung a bit tighter than I'd prefer.

Since you brought that up... it's only now I'm thinking the strings definitely might have been the problem. I think because I played this frame against a bitter rival and got an unusually lopsided asskicking, I just kind of wrote the whole package off.

Spiky Shark Yellow, in a 97 size, 18x20 racket, at THIRTY FIVE lbs. is a hair too tight! That same racket, using Dunlop Ice 17, is pretty solid at 51 lbs. Comparing the two, the Ice at 51 feels tighter to your palm, but when hitting the ball hard, the Ice is more resilient and feels just as good.
Softer hit's favor the initial softness of the SShark yellow, so those have a bigger sweetspot. Ultimate power, when I swing my fastest, is a tossup.

Your ground strokes, proper bio mechanics, and a timely weight transfer are what offer effortless power. Not a racket.
