The plastic wrapper on the handle surprisingly weighs 2g. So if you left that on while measuring that’s why your rackets are roughly 2g over spec on average. Great review 🤘
Pure Strike 98 16x19. Currently have 2 strikes and Blade 98 in my bag. Tempting to switch to Blade as well, but when I face strong players, Strike's power helps me more, but I can see the potential switch to Blade.
Great Vid. I used a VCore Pro 97, switched to a Vcore 100. Good stick but being Single Handed there is drag and even the ball goes roughly where you want I did not get the feel of VCore Pro 97. So now looking at Blade 98 16 x 19 and Percept 97. Not tried any of these. Do you know how the Blade is for Single Hander? Or even a Blade 100? I am an all court player.
I’m an advanced level player with and OHBH. I’m currently playing with a pure strike 18x20 3 gen. I want to switch to a more maneuverable racquet. Which one would you recommend, this Blade 98 or the Percept 97D. I play more with top spin but also use flat stroke in my backhand. Great video 🙌🏻
That bumper design is genius. Make you wonder why manufacturers didn't do it sooner.
I agree
Thanks for showing how to remove the head guard using the new system
No problem, it’s pretty clever!

Good assessment. I prefer the slightly more controlled response of the blade over the strike. That power is seductive though!

I’m not speaking from experience on this but I’ve seen many great 1 handers play with the blade 98
The only reviewer that I’ve seen showing how this bumper system works. Thank you!
Thanks!

I enjoyed the blade more than the 97D. I found it more versatile
Hi！Wanna know your opinions on blade 98s whitch have a 18x16 pattern. Someone said the Blade98s was the best in V9s
I haven’t hit with the blade 98S so I can’t really comment on that, sorry
What made you switch from the EZONE to Blade? What are the differences?
It offers me a little more control. I can swing out more freely
What are those Dunlop tools you’re using to measure?
They measure the rackets balance and swingweight
Could a 3.5 player use this? Currently using the new Aero 300g. Love the power, but need more control.
I think so but I’d definitely try the Blade 100 as well
The Head Boom Pro 2024?
Stay tuned!
What was the strung SW of the 294 unstrung racquets?
323
@@simmstennis nice! That's right where I like it. I'm also thinking of switching from my Ezone 98 :)
@@simmstenniswhat string did you use? What gauge?
So far I’ve strung it with Wilson Revolve Spin, Volkl Cyclone, and Solinco Hyper-g all in 125
@@simmstennis so we reckon on spec unstrung sw is about 295 for this frame?

The best tension?
Depends. I’d recommend starting around 48-50lbs
@@simmstennis great. I will string it up at 50
Percept 100 D?
Have you tried it?
Aero 98 was better then this...but v9 was better then my ezone98
Do you play with the Aero 98 currently?

@@simmstennis aero98 mostly, but sometimes I bring the gravity pro to bash the hell out the ball
So funny, I keep a Gravity Pro in the bag for the same reason.
Aero 98 is too stiff
Guess: Solinco Whiteout 18/20?
No, but I’ve heard good things!
Guess: Pure Strike 98 16/19
Good guess, but it’s not a Pure Strike.
Percept?
How would you say this is better than the blade v8?
It has a slightly more stable and crisp response for me
