Ok so I’m outta touch on this but need to be caught up to speed ... so outta all the pro lab frames which ones are the softest? Also what are the RA’s?

59ish for the Blade Pros and low 60s for the Ultra Pros. Nothing in the 40s so not soft enough for you, I’m afraid.

What is the main difference between the Blade 16x19 I can purchase here on TW and the "Blade Pro" thats on the Wilson Lab site?

 

[Steve Huff]

What grip size do you use? I can look and see what I might have that has really low RA.

The blade pro is a H22 type racquet. Much easier to play and to generate power.

How can this be if they seem so similar on paper? Or are their specs not as close as I think?

Interesting that the BP is more flexible than the UP, but also more powerful.

The mold, shape, drill pattern and material are completely different. There a plenty of info on blade pros I suggest you read them. Don’t rely on specs on paper.

I want to say this even though it does has more power. Your strokes and footwork should be technically sound or you will generate less power than a normal blade 16x19.

Has to do with WHERE the flex is ...
