Wilson Blade 98S CV (Countervail) 18x16 Green/Black Tennis Racquet Strung with Custom Racket String Colors

I currently play with a Wilson BLX Six.One Team 95 in2 racket and wanted to find a slightly larger racket that will be more forgiving on off-center shots. The 95 in2 head size ends of costing me several points in a close match and I just wish I had something slightly larger that still allows me to put away that "kill" shot I can hit with the BLX Six.One. I am a 3.5 player who likes to hit the ball with a full fast swing and a lot of top spin. I don't have to rely on the racket to generate a lot of power. I purchased a used demo Wilson Burn 99 FST and didn't like that racket due to lack of feel. The 99 FST is a good racket, but I want to find a GREAT racket. I think I found that great racket in the Blade 98S CV.I demoed four different rackets at the same time which all had similar specs: 1) this racket, 2) Yonex EZONE DR 98, 3) Babolat Pure Strike 18x20, & 4) Head Graphene Touch Radical MP. My favorite was the Blade 98S with the Radical MP a close 2nd. The only thing I didn't like about the Radical MP was it had too much power and it was more difficult to keep my shots inside the court. The Yonex felt a bit unresponsive and it just felt like I was hitting with a piece of lumber. I know it is a highly rated racket, but it just didn't fit my game style. I liked the ground strokes & serves of the Pure Strike, but my volleys were not crisp and I just couldn't connect with a clean volley for whatever reason.Here are the high points for me on the Blade 98S... My serve was off the chart! My serves were powerful and I was able to put generous spin on the ball which kept the serve inside the service box with a lot of power. I got a couple of aces off this racket, with no aces when playing with the other demo rackets. For ground strokes I really liked the amount of spin I was able to put on the ball, which allowed me to put generous angle on the ball and still keep my shots on the court. I am more of a baseline player and my confidence was high with this racket, allowing me to take full swings without fear of keeping control on the ball. I was pleasantly surprised with the control at the net and the quickness & maneuverability. There were a few volleys I didn't think I had a chance of returning that somehow I was able to not only put my racket on the ball, but the shots were returned off the strings and caught my opponents off guard and won just a few extra points during the set. A few times, while at the net, my opponents hit some fast, low, & hard ground strokes directed below my waist and I was able to return those shots with accuracy and feel. I am normally not confident at the net, but with this racket I had no fear of playing at the net. The only thing I didn't like about this racket were the strings that came with the demo. The strings would move excessively and at times shots felt dead during long rallies due to the position of the strings during play (they would separate about 2 inches between the strings, creating a dead spot). I had to constantly adjust the strings between points. I think this can be resolved by purchasing different strings that won't move as much. The demo was strung with Multifilament strings.I played four sets with these four demo rackets. I played slightly more than a full set with the Blade 98S. I began playing with the Pure Strike but quickly put that back in the back when I discovered the constant mishits on my volleys at the net. I played almost 3/4 of a set with the Radical MP. I did like this racket, but felt a little too much of a trampoline effect with my ground stokes. I did like the Radical MP when at the net. I played with the Yonex for about 1/2 to 3/4 of a set, but just couldn't find a way to hit solid shots with the Yonex. I tried to take full cuts and just couldn't connect on my ground strokes. To be fair to the Yonex & Pure Strike, I picked them up after I was playing confidently with the Blade 98S and found my game got back in that dead groove that I felt previously. The reason why I put the Blade 98S down and picked those two rackets back up was I didn't want the excuse of not being warmed up and that lack of confidence you feel when you begin playing a match. Even when I felt completely warmed up & confident I couldn't find the all around confidence in the Yonex & Pure Strike rackets.
