Blade and Strike are so similar. Can’t go wrong with either. Shift 99 would be the choice if you wanted maximum spin and had an extreme modern swing path.
@@CN-ct6oy The 16x20 is 5g heavier, a slightly more flexible, and, of course, has an additional cross string. All of these attributes provide a bit more control without comprising on the size of the sweetspot.
Well aware. I’ve strung many of his rackets. Referring to Thiem carrying the line as an ambassador. Pros use totally different rackets than what’s in stores so any of these references as for endorsement purposes. The racket he actually uses is quite different than the 16x19 or 18x20 despite having a similar string pattern to one.
@@lsfire3489 I know. Its almost 2 worlds of those talking about what players endorse for a racket in a retail store and those who know the pro stock frames that players actually use. Whichever i reference, the other group corrects me hahaha. Never know how to reference it. 😁
@@SolowSportsI get annoyed with all these people who constantly comment that pros use pro stock racquets and not the endorsed retail versions. Or wanna nitpick your language. Good God everyone find something better to do already.
Great review 💯 it looks so clean
Can’t wait to try it
Thank you!! 🙏. We have demos in shop if you need 😁
Hi, Love your content and channel, Quick Question which cosmetics you love more ? the old one 2019 or the new 2024 ?
2024 for sure!! 👍
Omg, I’m a head radical player looking for an upgrade. Blade 98, Pure Strike 98 or Shift 99? What would you recommend?

@@SolowSports So many rackets. Your channel is the best for reviews, thank you! 😊
Thanks for the praise! Glad you enjoy them!
@@DJScharlie So kind!! Thanks for that. More reviews coming :)
Difference between the 16x20 and the pure aero 100?
Big difference between Strike 100 16x20 and Pure Aero. Strike = control with feel for all court. Aero = heavy spin with power from baseline.
@@SolowSports and between the strike 100 16x19 and the 16x20?

@@SolowSports thanks for your time, waiting to demo the two 100's
@@CN-ct6oy Our pleasure. 100 16x20 review uploading now. And standard 100 posting soon after :))
Thiem uses the 18x20 version just so you know. Norrie uses the 16x19
