In which You think I find best blend of Spin/Feel/Power. Mostly like the opinion where you play and compare these

1. Prince Phantom Textreme 100 - 310g 16x19
2. 2024 Prince Phantom
2. VCore Pro 97 310 16x19
3. ProStaff 310 g 16x19 v13 or v14 or ProStaff Precision
4. ProKennex Black Ace
5. RF01

I'm 5.0 player, spinny swinging, flat one handed backhand, now playing with Clash 100pro v1.

4. ProKennex Black Ace
5. RF01

Which 2024 Prince Phantom model? 100P, 100X 305g 16x18 or 100X 320g 18x20?
Which Black Ace model? Pro (97"), 300 (300g 100" 16x19) or 315 (315g 100" 16x19)?

Regardless, for the best blend of spin, feel and power from among that list, I would say Wilson Pro Staff Precision – yes, it's a "down-market" model, with potentially fewer graphite plies and a cheaper finishing process, but the layup is clean and devoid of dampening nonsense, and in stock form I believe swing weight is in the low-mid 320's, which with its beam thickness, makes it a great all-purpose frame, equally as accommodating on your spinny forehand as it is on your flatter OHBH. More forgiveness than the regular 97" Pro Staff, even the RF01 it would appear, and higher power-per-unit-spec than the PS97 as well. And at its low price, you could afford to buy two, almost three, for the cost of a single RF 01. Despite what others may insinuate, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the Precision for a 5.0, or even higher. I say, do it.

TL;DR - My apologies if Wilson sees this thread, then slots the Precision for discontinuation next week.

Thank a lot with this answer, precision was my secret choice, thought it will be easy for play

Thought of Black Ace 315g and Prince 100 P or X (only 16x19) dont know which Prince could fit better

Compared to those, I would stick with the Precision.
